Chinese Heroes

Chinese Heroes is a historical account of the Boxer Uprising in China in 1900, written by Isaac Taylor Headland. The book details the persecution endured by native Christians during the uprising, which was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement that swept across northern China. Headland’s account is based on his personal experience as a missionary in China during the time of the uprising, as well as on interviews with Chinese Christians who survived the violence. The book provides a vivid and harrowing portrayal of the atrocities committed against Christians during the Boxer Uprising, including torture, murder, and forced apostasy. It also highlights the bravery and resilience of the Chinese Christians who endured these persecutions and remained steadfast in their faith. Chinese Heroes is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known episode in Chinese history and honors the memory of those who suffered and died for their beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
