EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHINA: MISSIONARIES, 1900" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a group of American and European missionaries who managed to survive the arduous fifty-five days of the Boxer siege on the Western Legations in Peking (Beijing). Taken after the arrival of the allied relief expedition in August 1900, this photograph captures both men and women standing together as survivors amidst the aftermath of a tumultuous time. Their expressions tell tales of resilience, determination, and hope. In an era marked by anti-Western sentiments and growing tensions between cultures, these brave individuals dedicated their lives to spreading their faith in China during a period known as the turn of the century. Despite facing immense challenges posed by an anti-immigrant sentiment prevalent at that time, they persevered. The image not only serves as a testament to their survival but also highlights their unwavering commitment towards their mission. It stands as a reminder that even in times of adversity, unity can prevail over division. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of those who came before us – pioneers who dared to bridge cultural gaps and promote understanding between nations. This photograph encapsulates an important chapter in Chinese history while honoring those whose bravery helped shape it.
