Cen Zeliu (Chinese: 岑泽鎏; pinyin: Cén Zéliú; Wade–Giles: Ts'en Chih-liu/Shen Tse-Liu; 1912–1941), also Shum Tsak-lau (Cantonese), was born in Enping, Guangdong, China. He trained at the Guangdong provincial aviation academy as a fighter pilot, graduating in 1934, and was attached to the provincial warlord air force of General Chen Jitang. With full-scale war between China and the Empire of Japan brewing ever since the Mukden incident of 1931, Cen Zeliu and his compatriots were eager to focus on fighting the Imperial Japanese invasion and occupation of China.[1]
In May 1936, General Chen Jitang conspired with the New Guangxi Clique to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek as leader of the central government of China, which Cen Zeliu perceived as weakening Chinese unity against Japan. This set the stage for Cen Zeliu and members of the Guangdong Air Force under General Huang Guangrui, the air force's Commander-in-Chief, to embark on the "Northern Flight" (北飛) defection to the centralized Nationalist Air Force of China in the midst of the Liangguang Incident in June–July 1936.[2]

广东军阀陈济棠还在那磨拳擦掌着以反蒋之名扩充势力。军阀们不顾民族安危而同室操戈的行径，引起岑泽鎏及其同学们的极端反感。他认识到如果继续留在广东空军，就只能成为军阀混战的工具，这对国家对民族，对人民百害而无一利。1936年6月30日，借练习飞行之机，岑泽鎏与队长丁徐、队员黄居谷、黄志刚等7人，驾机7架北飞南昌，投效国民党中央，被编入空军第十七队。
