Kucheng massacre
The Kucheng massacre (; Pinyin: ''Gǔtián Jiào'àn''; Foochow Romanized: ''Kŭ-chèng Gáu-áng'') was a massacre of Western Christians that took place at Gutian (at that time known in the west as ''Kucheng'') Fujian, China on August 1, 1895. At dawn of that day, a fasting folk religious group attacked British missionaries who were then taking summer holidays at Gutian Huashan, killing eleven people and destroying two houses. The Kucheng Massacre is considered one of the worst attacks against foreigners in China prior to the Boxer Movement in 1899-1901, the only comparable event in China's missionary history being the Tianjin Massacre in 1871.
==Background==
In 1892, a religious movement called ''zhaijiao'' ("fasting school", so called because their followers took vows of vegetarianism) began assuming the functions of government due to the decrepit condition of Qing dynasty government in the Gutian region. They resolved disputes between villagers, banned opium, and ended the local practice of selling wives to multiple husbands. Gutian police decided not to intervene in this displacement of the functions of government. Christian missionaries were unhappy with these circumstances and asked the provincial officials to send in their own troops. In response, fasting-religion leaders decided to defend their rebellion with violence.〔Kimihiko Sato. "(The Ku-t'ien Anti-missionary Incident (1895) : Vegetarian Sect, the shadow of Sino-Japanese War, and the conversion of the missionary diplomacy of the UK and U.S. )"〕 The last letter from the murdered English missionary Robert Warren Stewart, dated April 8, describes the critical situation of affairs at Gutian:〔''The Brooklyn Eagle'', Brooklyn, New York, August 5, 1895〕
