Century-old graves of Chinese sailors restored in UK

The once neglected graves of five Chinese sailors who died in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the 1880s have been restored and rededicated at a special ceremony in New Castle, northeast England, on Friday.

The five graves, which had been lying unmarked over the past decades in St John's Cemetery contain the remains of Yuan Peifu, Gu Shizhong, Lian Jinyuan, Chen Shoufu and Chen Chengkui, members of the first two naval delegations that China sent to Europe.

Experts believe the five sailors were part of the entourage that went to the city to bring the Tyne-built cruisers back to China to form Beiyang, the most powerful navy in Asia at that time. They died from unknown diseases.
The project of restoring the graves, half sunken into the ground, started in 2016 when media reports threw them into spotlight.

In 2016, China Foundation for Cultural Heritage Conservation launched its first global crowdfunding campaign and raised money to pay for the restoration work.

Minister Ma Hui from the Chinese Embassy in Britain said at the rededication ceremony held Friday that the Chinese students and the Chinese community in Britain had called for the restoration of the graves.

"This project is of great significance because it is a successful practice in which the Chinese government, enterprises, non-governmental organizations and individuals worked together, and China and the UK worked together to preserve Chinese cultural relics overseas," he said.

"As we honor the memory of the five Beiyang Fleet sailors who have sacrificed their lives for their country, we are reminded of what happened to China more than 100 years ago and the tragic but heroic history of the Beiyang Fleet," Ma said. "We are also reminded of the deep friendship between the Beiyang Fleet officers and sailors and the people of Newcastle, which was established when the Chinese sailors came for the cruisers."
