Hudson Taylor was a missionary from England who was called by God to China to serve people there. He learned to rely on God's provision in times of great need and he dressed like the Chinese to reach them even when other missionaries citicised him.

The Opium Wars were two conflicts in the mid-19th century between China and Western powers, primarily Britain. The First Opium War (1839-1842) was triggered by China's attempts to suppress the opium trade, which Britain was using to balance trade deficits. The war ended with the Treaty of Nanking, which opened several Chinese ports to British trade and ceded Hong Kong to Britain. The Second Opium War (1856-1860), involving Britain and France against China, led to further trade concessions and the legalization of the opium trade. These wars significantly weakened China and marked the beginning of the country's "Century of Humiliation."
