Abstract

Description

Duan Fang (20/4/1861-27/11/1911) was a member of the Manchu Plain White Banner, but not a full-blooded Manchu...... In 1900 he was appointed financial commissioner of Henan, but before he set out for his post the Boxer Uprising took place. When the Empress Dowager took refuge in Xian, he was one of those who were responsible for her safety and comfort. From 1901 to 1905 Duanfang held the following posts in Central China: governor of Hubei (1901-04), acting governor-general of Hu-Guang (1902-04) and of Liang-Jiang (1904), acting governor of Jiangsu (1904), and governor of Hunan (1904-05). Hummel (1943) v. II pp. 780-1. Photograph occurs in album near others dated 1903.
