Facing a nation in upheaval, a missionary’s eye-witness account chronicles danger, mercy, and a dramatic rescue.
This nonfiction memoir offers a on-the-ground view of the 1911–12 Revolution in Shensi (Shensi), focusing on the capital’s early turmoil, the mass violence against Manchus, and the personal courage of missionaries and locals. It traces the rise of new authorities, the fragile line between danger and duty, and the extraordinary Shensi Relief Expedition that crossed war-torn territory to bring safety and aid. The narrative centers on human resilience, ethical choices, and the complex weave of faith and community in a time of crisis.
- Vivid scenes of a city under siege and the harrowing consequences of political upheaval.
- Firsthand perspectives on how foreign residents navigated danger with restraint and aid.
- Accounts of mediation, prayer, and practical rescue amidst shifting loyalties.
- Insights into the logistics and diplomacy of organizing a relief mission under fire.
