[[File:Our Lady of China.jpg|thumb|The original statue image of "Our Lady of China" or "Our Lady of Donglü" ({{lang|zh-hant|東閭聖母}}) constructed in Yaoyang, [[Hebei]] province, destroyed in 1966 during the [[Cultural Revolution]]. A similar painting was reconstructed in 1989 now in its place. ]]
During the [[Boxer Rebellion]], a great number of soldiers attacked the village of [[Donglü]], Hebei. The village consisted of a small community of Christians founded by the [[Congregation of the Mission|Vincentian Order]] of priests. Pious legends claim that the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]] appeared in white
The local priest, Father Rene Flament of the [[Congregation of the Mission]] hired a local French painter in Shanghai to make a Marian statue similar to the Chinese dowager Empress [[Ci Xi]]. This image was based in the Marian image of “Our Lady of Laeken” venerated in the [[Church of Our Lady of Laeken]] in [[Brussels]], Belgium. The Donglu statue was later destroyed in 1966 during the [[Cultural Revolution]].
