Ran Min (simplified Chinese: 冉闵; traditional Chinese: 冉閔; pinyin: Rǎn Mǐn; died 352), also known as Shi Min (石閔), posthumously honored by the Former Yan as Heavenly King Wudao of (Ran) Wei ((冉)魏武悼天王), courtesy name Yongzeng (永曾), nickname Jinu (棘奴), was a military leader during the era of Sixteen Kingdoms in China and the only emperor of the short-lived state Ran Wei (冉魏). He was known for ordering the massacre of the Jie and other Hu (Xiongnu) people, during which 200,000 people, both Han and non-Han people, were killed between 349 and 350. In the Book of Jin, Shi Min was described as over 1.9 meters (8 chi) tall and possessed unusual physical strength. In battle, he fought by wielding two weapons in both hands, consisting of a crescent shaped Chinese halberd by his right hand, and a double-edged spear by his left hand. His ride was a horse named Zhu Long (朱龍; "Red Dragon"), which was recorded in his final battle.
