A Marian shrine in China!

There are three apparitions listed for 1900 in China: one in Beijing (an apparition of Our Lady dressed in white accompanied by St Michael) … A monument was erected to commemorate this. Again, during the revolution of the Boxers there was a weeping statue of Our Lady in the village of San Tai Dse. The weeping ceased only after the enemy soldiers put an end to their siege and withdrew from the village. The third alleged apparition occurred in Dong-Lu. Here, again, we have a wonderful Lady appearing in the skies recognized by many people as Mary, and implored to protect the city. As the town had indeed been spared from war and destruction, a beautiful church was built to thank Mary for the protection received and to keep alive the event and its importance.

It is reported that a Chinese priest moved among the defenders of Dong-Lu and constantly invoked the Mother of God to save his people. The bullets of the rebels failed to shatter the apparition posed over the mission church. Other sources report that the rebels were put to flight by a "strange horseman." The Chinese pastor of Dong-Lu …secured a painting of the Dowager Empress Tze-Hsi dresssed in her magnificent imperial robes. He took it to an artist, and had him paint the image of the Madonna and Child. This picture of the queenly Virgin Mother … was hung in the little church at Dong-Lu which then became a place of pilgrimage, and reportedly still is (1946). The Madonna of Dong-Lu is addressed as Our Lady of China.

The image was proclaimed Our Lady of China at the 1924 Synod of Shanghai.
