Ching Shih
Ching Shih (1775–1844)〔Murray, Dian,(1987), ''Pirates of the South China Coast, 1790-1810'', pg65, Stanford University Press, ISBN 0-8047-1376-6〕 (; Cantonese: Jihng Sih; "widow of Zheng"), also known as Cheng I Sao (; Cantonese: Jihng Yāt Sóu "wife of Zheng Yi"), was a prominent pirate in Qing China who terrorized the South China Sea in the early 19th century. She commanded over 300 junks manned by 20,000-40,000 pirates.〔Murray, Dian,(1987), ''Pirates of the South China Coast, 1790-1810'', pg 71, Stanford University Press, ISBN 0-8047-1376-6〕 Another estimate has Cheng's fleet at 1,800 and crew at about 80,000〔Debates in Art and Design Education edited by Nicholas Addison, Lesley Burgess ()〕〔(Pirate Lingo - Page 26 Skadi Meic Beorh - 2009 )〕— men, women, and even children. She challenged the empires of the time, such as the British, Portuguese and the Qing dynasty. Undefeated, she would become one of Asia's strongest pirates, and perhaps one of the most powerful pirates in history. She was also one of the few pirate captains to retire peacefully from piracy.
Ching Shih has featured in numerous books, novels, video games and films in Asia.

She was born Shi Xianggu (, ) in 1775 in Guangdong. She was a Cantonese prostitute who worked in a small brothel in Guangzhou,〔Lily Xiao Hong Lee, A. D. Stefanowska, Clara Wing-chung Ho - 2003 - 387 pages〕 but was captured by pirates. In 1801, she married Cheng I, a notorious pirate. The name she is best remembered by simply means "Cheng's widow".
