Zikawei

The Bishop was allowed to say daily Mass, and the others to receive Holy Communion sometimes, but no more than that. Some of these were singled out as "Communists" and shot or tortured. One of the latter is now a theologian here at Zikawei.

Tou Se Wei was actually the name of a second village south of Zikawei. A publishing house, another convent, and a collection of orphanages for boys and girls were located here. Although most of the Zikawei buildings have survived, almost all the Tou Se Wei buildings have been destroyed.

Shortly thereafter the orphanages were moved to Zikawei. The Sisterhood of the Presentation was founded in 1855, with its motherhouse at Zikawei.
