Chinese Orthodox Christian, killed in Beijing in 1900 during the Boxer Rising.
Life
Paul Konstantinov Shuang Sho was a man of 39, the son of the widow Anna Chang. He was killed on 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising. His wife Aquilina and their children John, Macrina and another John suffered on the same day.
The Boxers had pressed the Orthodox to burn incense before the idols and to deny Christ; those who stayed faithful were killed, and their houses and churches were burned. His name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.
