A Tale of Red Pekin

A young member of an English missionary family narrates their life in China as anti-foreign unrest erupts, describing domestic routines, local friendships, and sudden violence that forces a perilous flight toward the coast. The account follows children's impressions, a mother's steady faith, the death of an infant, a local convert, episodes of capture and daring escapes, and refuge in hidden houses, caves, and underground passages. Through alternating personal testimonies the work explores faith under persecution, cross-cultural encounters, sacrifice, and the resilience of family during upheaval.
