| 1927 | Xiaogan Leprosarium"On the departure of the Northern officials from Central China towards the end of 1926 and in the early days under the Southern regime, every form of anti-Christian, anti-foreign, and other propaganda was fiercely indulged in by a large group of disgruntled and often hysterical students and imported strike and labour leaders. Processions of an unruly character frequently took place in Siao Kan city. Everything devilish which could be devised to upset the usual peaceful life of the Church, schools, and medical work was done. Threats to take forceful possession of the hospitals and leper home and to kill every leper were made without any reservation. Fortunately, so far as the leper work is concerned, better thoughts prevailed, and following the departure of all foreigners from the city at the call of the consular authorities, the repeated threats of the rabble and of the students in particular, grew less violent. To-day the leper work remains unmolested and perfect calm and peace is reported in the home itself. We earnestly pray that this state of things may continue and that under the new order of things no ill befall our big family of lepers." Dr Henry Fowler, "Siao Kan Leper Home", The Leper Quarterly, 2 (1927): 34. Note: Xiaogan may also be spelled Siao Kan. [Leprosarium] [China] |
