This talk explores the context into which the Dominican friars entered China, the deaths of the six canonized Dominican martyrs of China, and the legacy of the Dominican mission there into the 1950s. Using rare images from archives in Rome, China, and Poland, the Dominican history in China's southern and central provinces will be considered in in vivid detail.
