Wan

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 1 month ago

Wan practiced and taught acupuncture and other forms of traditional Chinese medicine at 'Po Chi Lam', in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, where he was known for his compassion and policy of treating any patient. Wan's province was caught in the Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901) and he was targeted by rebels for treating Christians at his clinic.

The Boxers - an anti-foreign, anti-imperialist peasant-based movement in northern China. They attacked foreigners who were building railroads and violating Feng shui, as well as Christians, who were held responsible for the foreign domination of China. In June 1900, the Boxers invaded Beijing and killed 230 non-Chinese. Tens of thousands of Chinese Christians, Catholic and Protestant alike, were killed.

In early 1900, Wan was captured by rebels and forced into servitude.

But the Eight Nation Alliance formed against the Boxers, entered China and quelled the rebellion.

Wan (about to be executed) was rescued by Corporal Frank Wheaton when the 14th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. & British forces successfully assaulted Yangcun freeing the captives.

After the rebellion was quelled and the Boxer Protocol was signed Wan left China and came to NY city to find the man that saved his life. In 1906 the two were reunited and now Wan serves as Frank Wheaton's personal body guard and compatriot.

Wan, does not seem to show the passing of age and is a powerful student of Wushu. He follows the strict morality codes of Deed (Humility, Loyalty, Respect, Righteousness, Trust) and Mind (Courage, Endurance, Patience, Perseverance, Will).
