Belgium's 'Chinese mother' remembered by history

Qian Xiulin, a Chinese woman who had moved to Belgium in 1929, was hailed as Belgium's "Chinese mother" after saving the lives of nearly 100 Belgians during Nazi Germany's occupation from May 1940.

Born in Yixing, East China's Jiangsu province, Qian showed great interest in chemistry at a young age and dreamed of becoming a scientist, having been inspired by Marie Curie .

She went to Belgium to pursue her dream and studied at the University of Leuven, the country's best-known college.

Nazi Germany began lightning strikes on the Low Countries in 1940 and Belgium was soon occupied and anti-Nazi activities in the country began. A youth named Roger was captured after destroying a German railway and was sentenced to hang.

On hearing the news Qian decided to do whatever she could to save him. Knowing that one of Germany's top generals in Belgium, Alexander von Falkenhausen, was a friend of her cousin, she begged him to help.

To everyone's surprise, Falkenhausen nodded and Roger was released a few days later. Qian was deemed a kind-hearted Chinese woman and hailed as a hero by local people.

In 1944, the German army arrested 97 young Belgian men as revenge for the killing of three members of the Gestapo and were about to execute them.

Qian, who was pregnant at the time, played the role of savior once more, her persistence and sense of justice convincing Falkenhausen who accepted her pleas and all 97 were freed.

The Belgian government awarded Qian the Medal of National Hero after the war and local people named a road in her city "Madame Qian Road".

She moved to Brussels after the war and led a low-profile life.

The Chinese Schindler wanted to live as a normal person rather than a hero and said she had forgotten what she did during the war when asked. Compared with the dark and distorted period, she preferred to recall happy days during her life such as romance and family affection.

Her heroic deeds have never been forgotten by history and in 2001 a TV series, A Chinese Woman at Gestapo Gunpoi, brought Qian's story to the screen after half a century.

'My Chinese Working Day': An Australian's story

For a scholar focusing on Australia's public diplomacy, working as a recreational manager in China may never be part of his career path. But Bradley McConachie does have lots to say now about his special experience at a resort in the picturesque tropical coastal city of Sanya in South China's Hainan province.
