Gladys Aylward saved up her small salary in order to be able to travel to China even though rejected as unsuitable due to a lack of education. She adopted a Chinese lifestyle and became a Chinese citizen. She also lead almost 100 Chinese children to safety, via a hazardous journey under appalling conditions, to escape the Japanese invaders in 1940. She later returned in 1955 and opened an orphanage which she continued to run until her death in 1970.
