Life

Sabbas Qing was a man of 61, the son of the widow Nadezhda Chang. He was killed in 1900, on a day the list does not give, during the Boxer Rising, outside the city of Beijing. His son Leo Hai Ling was killed on 10 June in his father's house.

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, on the testimony of relatives, neighbours and witnesses. No other details about him are preserved.
