Hailanpao

The provincial capital of Heilungchiang closely adjoins the Russian frontier town of Hailanpao (?) and international questions are constantly arising. At the request of the Governor the Tsungli Yamên appointed Keng Shan, a pupil of the Tung-wên-kuan, with nominal rank as a second class secretary of a board, to co-operate with the Deputy Lieutenant-General stationed there in the management of international affairs.

For twenty-five years he has done all sorts of odd jobs: digging ginseng (a herb) in the Long White Mountains, fishing in the Black River, and washing gold dust at Hailanpao. Without this education, he would never have become an undaunted revolutionary.

The Heilungkiang River which the Russians call the Amur is rather narrower than I had expected it to be, and the old Chinese town of Hailanpao, now the Russian one of Blagoveshchensk, is dominated by a television tower.

Most of the northern bank of the river, an area densely populated with Chinese residents, had been ceded to Russia in the Treaty of Aigun in 1858, but part of the area was still under Chinese jurisdiction. In an attempt to reduce Chinese influence in that area, the Russians massacred more than seven thousand Chinese residents along the northern bank (as in Hailanpao) and burned their houses. The Chinese authorities in Heilongjiang Province, south of the river, could offer little protection to those Chinese.
