Twenty years ago Gladys Aylward was a parlourmaid in London. For as long as she could remember she had determined to be a missionary in China, but she could not pass the necessary exam;nations. So she saved every penny she could out of her earnings and at last set out for China on her own to join a missionary friend who was working there. After an adventurous ioumey across Siberia in 1932, while the Manchurian war was still raging, she arrived at Shansi. a mountainous province of North China, where for seventeen years she lived and worked among the Chinese and became herself a naturalised Chinese citizen.
