This thread is by invatation only.
At the end of the nineteenth century the anti-foreign feeling in China was strong. This attitude stemmed from many causes. The dividing of China’s best ports and cities into "spheres of Influence" controlled by Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Japan were an element to the rebellion that took all the economic privileges from China and shared them among the great powers also caused the hatred of any foreign power. The multiplying efforts of the missionaries in China, who were open in their disgust for the Chinese customs, caused much anger and violence. China was being suffocated by stronger imperialistic nations. Thus as 1900 dawned China was swept by a terrorist movement known as the Boxer Rebellion.
The resentment intensified among members of a secretive group with the name I Ho Chuan, or society of righteous fists, "boxers." The society believed that they had been made invulnerable by sorcery and incantation and began to win recruits late in 1899. Their beliefs of resisting Europeanization to preserve the purity of Chinas soul was soon translated into a message of death to the "foreign devils" and their collaborators. Without restraining leadership or organization, Boxers began in early 1900 to raid outposts and symbols of western influence, including missions. The attacks were to be gruesome. Men and women were hacked to death with swords, burned alive in their compounds, and sometimes dragged and tortured through howling mobs before their execution, after which their severed heads were displayed in cages on village gates.
Yet as with all such movement there where men willing and ready to take advantage of opportunities that presented them selves and Lue Chin WA was such a man. He was a bandit taking profit and plunder where and when he could and the name I Ho Chuan made the, until now, untouchable western Mission stations a prime target for him and his band. Lue Chin Wa had selected the China Light Mission far from the coast and far from the Gun Boats of the great powers. The two women there where renowned for their beauty and beauty was a commodity that was worth gold particularly faire haired and skinned western beauty. The Little group sat upon their Mongolian ponies and at his signal came thundering down on China Light Mission Station.
