Alexei Danilov Zhang Furong

Alexei Danilov Zhang Furong was an Orthodox peasant from the village of Dongding'an, near Beijing, aged 48. He was killed on 25 May 1900 (old style; 7 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising, together with his wife Euphemia and their children Evdokia, Nikita, Michael and Maria.

On the same day, in the same village, Cyrus Zhang Fucheng, Herman and Stephen Wang Yuguang were also killed. We know these data from a list drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China, on the testimony of relatives, neighbours and witnesses. The list contains 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, and Alexei is the first named in it.
