I read the biography of Gladys Alward. She was a very amazing women who went to China to be a missionary. She led many people to the Lord. When she arrived in China she helped start the Inn of Eight Happinesses, which was an inn for the mule drivers to stay at. Later on she became the oficial foot inspector. She had to go around and make sure that the feet of girls were not bound anymore. War then came to China and it was a very hard time for the people. Gladys went with her 100 adopted children to live in caves. Later they left the caves and went on a long hard journey to get to the trains. When Gladys got there with her children they went of the trains. Gladys got sick from all of her work and decided to go back to England. But she missed China to bad to stay. Gladys went back to China and countinued her missionary work. She was a very amazing women, and she was very dear to many of the Chinease people. I think Gladys was incredible. She never gave up even when it got hard.

they thought that little feet were beautiful so they bound little girl's feet when the bones were still soft and then let the foot grow on top of itself. the girl couldn't do anything except hobble around.... so they decided eventually to stop this stupid tradition.
that's where gladys came in.
That's really cool how she helped all those people.
