Though James Williamson had already made at least 122 one-shot films since 1897 (mostly comedies such as Washing the Sweep or actualities like Early Fashions on Brighton Pier, both 1898, Attack on a China Mission - Bluejackets to the Rescue (1900) was a quantum leap forward in style, content, technique and ambition. 　　In The Beginnings of the Cinema in England, historian John Barnes claims it had "the most fully developed narrative of any film made in England up to that time". While most dramatic films of the era consisted of one or two shots and single-figure casts, Williamson's film had four shots (including a reverse angle cut, showing the entrance to the mission from two different perspectives) and at least two dozen performers. 　　It was based on the Boxer Rebellion of the early months of 1900, with the secret 'Boxer' society attempting to expel of foreigners in general and Christian missionaries in particular from their native China. Williamson was following in the footsteps of Georges Méliès, whose eleven-scene dramatised documentary L'Affaire Dreyfus (1899) was very influential on British film-makers, many of whom made similar dramatisations of the events of the ongoing Boer War. But Williamson's film comfortably outstripped them in scale and ambition. 　　Though the Warwick Trading Company had distributed moving images of China that same year, there was no actual footage of the Boxer Rebellion. In order to meet perceived public demand, Williamson made his film in Hove at a derelict house called Ivy Lodge (which would also be the main location for Fire!, 1901). He went to considerable lengths to ensure that his film appeared to be authentic, kitting out the house with a bilingual Anglo-Chinese 'Mission Station' sign and drawing on his background as a chemist in order to fake gunshots and explosions. 　　The full film ran 230 feet, or roughly four minutes at contemporary projection speeds. Just under half of this footage survives, though thankfully it includes material from all four shots. Despite some obvious trims (the initial forcing of the gate is missing, and the wife's appeal on the balcony to the sailors must surely have lasted more than one second), enough remains to give a good account of what the original audience must have seen. 　　The premiere was held on 17 November 1900 at Hove Town Hall, and was such a success that the audience (fruitlessly) demanded a repeat screening there and then.

中国历代封建王朝的末年，不堪战乱的普通百姓和权力失落的前朝贵族纷纷移居海外。由于地缘上的毗邻关系，东南亚成为中国移民的迁徙地和避难所。因此这种迁徙历史上称为“下南洋”。 　　走西口是“中国近代史上最著名的三次人口迁徙”之一，从明朝中期至民国初年四百余年的历史长河中，无数山西人背井离乡，打通了中原腹地与蒙古草原的经济和文化通道，带动了北部地区的繁荣和发展。 　　民间所说的“走西口”中的“西口”就是山西省朔州市右玉县杀虎口。走出这个西口，就到了昔日由山西人包揽经商天下的归化与绥远（统称归绥）、库伦和多伦、乌里雅苏台和科布多及新疆等地区。“杀虎口”还是通往蒙古恰克图和俄罗斯等地经商的重要商道。 　　闯关东，是悲壮的历史，是一次移民壮举。存在特定的“闯关东”路线以及“闯关东”的特定背景。因此，闯关东是一种社会历史移民现象，有自发的客观因素，有内在的政治影响深度。“山东人闯关东实质上是贫苦农民在死亡线上自发的不可遏止的悲壮的谋求生存的运动。
