An Albazinian, ALEXEY Ying, 27 yrs -- a chorister from early childhood. On the day of the killing of Christians, June 10, Alexey avoided death, but then several days later returned to his acquaintance, Zhun, in order to borrow money; -- he had borrowed money from this person even earlier. At this time one of the neighbors -- who was called Niren Huang -- seized him and throwing a cord around his neck, lead him to the Boxer's camp -- to the pagan temple Cheng'ensi, where Alexey endured a martyr's death. His mother, Susanna A, a 59 yr. old widow, was martyred on June 11 at the Triangle. It is not known where Alexey's older brother, David, 37 yrs. died. His other older brother, Evfilii, 35 yrs. old, lame, on June 11 was walking by the southwest corner of Siyefu (the present site of the Mission); there a certain Yu Sang began to berate him for being a Christian. Evfimy answered with sharp words. Then, having run into his house, Yu Sang, jumped out with a dagger and struck Evfimy many times. Evfimy fell to the ground, but soon regained consciousness and headed for his own house. Yu Sang, learning that Evfimy had not died, went after him with many others and at first pelted him with stones, and later killed him at a place named Wuyueguan. This Boxer, Yu Sang, remained alive after the war, but he incurred a heavy punishment: he lost the lower part of his body so that he could not move at all.
