EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Dr. W. A. Thatchell is seen with two compassionate nurses from the Wesleyan Mens Hospital in Hankow, China. The year was 1911, and the Chinese Revolution was in full swing. Amidst the chaos and violence, Dr. Thatchell and his colleagues, including Dr. Robert T. Booth, worked tirelessly to rescue and care for the wounded and blinded inmates of the hospital. The British missionaries, who had dedicated their lives to serving the Chinese community, found themselves in a perilous situation as insurgents targeted the hospital, putting the lives of its patients and staff in grave danger. Undeterred, Dr. Thatchell and the nurses bravely tended to the injured, providing them with much-needed medical attention and refuge from the turmoil outside. The blind boys in the photograph, their faces etched with the weight of their experiences, were among the many lives touched by the selfless actions of Dr. Thatchell and his team. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and the power of compassion during times of crisis. Dr. Thatchell's dedication to the cause was so profound that he later wrote a book about Dr. Booth, titled "Booth of Hankow," chronicling the heroic efforts of the Wesleyan missionaries during the Chinese Revolution. This photograph, a testament to their unwavering commitment, stands as a powerful symbol of hope and healing in the face of adversity.
