Description
“Old style teacher.” Portrait of an indigenous man wearing winter clothes and standing by a gate in a fence. Kaiyuan was a city on the main road over twenty miles north of Tiehling. The United Presbyterian Church established themselves there with an indigenous soldier and evangelist named Kuan, who worked in the city and surrounding district. Many converts were drawn from the Hwen Yuen, a Buddhist sect based in Kaiyuan. James Webster (1854-1923) became the first permanent UP minister in the city after the first Sino-Japanese war. James Inglis (1861-) and James Stobie (1869-) would both be based in the city during their time in Manchuria.
