A Foreign Mother in Troubled Times: I Took a Hundred Children to Escape Thousands of Miles

During the Republic of China, the war raged across Yangcheng, Shanxi. The British woman Gladys took root in the mountains, and a Blessed House took in hundreds of homeless orphans. She was a foreigner who had traveled across the ocean, but she regarded these homeless children as her closest relatives. The Japanese invaders were pressing harder and harder. Because she secretly protected soldiers and civilians and rescued refugees, the enemy openly offered a reward for her life. Trapped in a dangerous city, everyone will die if they stay, but there is still a glimmer of hope in escaping. Despite her small stature, she resolutely led hundreds of children on a thousand-mile escape route. The Taihang Mountain Road is steep and precipitous, accompanied by cliffs. Enemy planes circled and bombed, skirmishers blocked the way, and hunger, pain, and wild beasts took turns attacking. She vowed not to give up throughout the whole process and to protect every child with all her body and soul. Climbing mountains, crossing the Yellow River, passing through numerous dangers of life and death, and heading towards the rear nursery. A mother's love that crosses national borders, a legend of troubled times that has been dusted by time, lights up the distant mountains on the long journey that will never go out.
