Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Flight for Life: And an Inside View of Mongolia The Boxers "I Ho Ch'uan tao T'ien Ching, Sha chin kuei-tzu, pao Ta Ch'ing. Shang yu T'ai Hou, hsia yu Jung, Yu Yu tu shih tsa chia ping. San yuch ch'u i ch'i hsia shou; Sha wan T'ien Ching, shang Pei Ching. Ta hsiao kuan yuan shih chieh ying; Shui hai p'a, k'uai t'ao ming. "The Boxers have come to Tientsin, to kill all the foreign devils, and protect the Manchu dynasty. Above, there is the Empress Dowager on our side, and below, there is Jung Lu. The soldiers of Yu Lu and Yu Hsien are all our own men. "On the first day of the third month we shall all begin together. When we have finished killing in Tientsin, we shall go to Peking. All the high and low officials will welcome us cordially. Whoever is afraid, let him quickly escape for his life." The above placard was widely published and learned by the Chinese, the most illiterate being able to memorize the jingling rhyme.
