Museum of Kalgan or Zhangjiajie, Hebei

Yu-hsiang Feng - a morning visit to a very unusual museum where we learned about a Christian general.





It must have been difiicult in those days with only those armaments and about 2000 soldiers for a general to win a war!!

General Feng was a Christian and so were most of his soldiers. He was known by foreigners as the “Christian General”. Feng, like many young officers, was involved in revolutionary activity and was nearly executed for treason. He later joined Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army and with the help and advice of Chinese diplomat Wang Zhengting, converted to Christianity in 1914, being baptised into the Methodist Episcopal Church.

• Born : Nov 6 1882, Anhui China. Died, Sept 1 1948, age 65.
