On this day, 124 years ago, February 1, 1901 (December 13, 1900 in the lunar calendar), the Qing court issued an order to protect foreign countries and protect religion. Foreign missionaries from North China returned to the church one after another and resumed their teaching duties. On February 1, 1901, the Qing court issued two decrees, reminding provincial ministers that if foreigners entered the country, they must "take care of and protect them." If someone hates church organizations and harms foreigners, the first followers will be treated as bandits and "never lenient."
