Olympian and missionary Eric Liddell honoured by China
Eric Liddell, the British Olympic champion who later became a missionary, has been honoured for his commitment to the Chinese people.
In a rare gesture of respect and admiration, a statue of the Christian athlete has been erected in the city of Tianjin.
It was unveiled in a ceremony attended by his daughters, as well as the survivors of a camp where he was held in the war, and the actor Joseph Fiennes who has been cast as Liddell in an upcoming film.
