“…There have been dozens of biographies about Liddell written by Western journalists and church historians, most tending to present his life in rather hagiographic terms. The most recent biography of the Scottish hero was a New York Times bestseller, For the Glory , written by a British sports journalist, Duncan Hamilton, and published in 2016. 2 Nevertheless, the staying power of Liddell’s fame today is largely due to the success of Chariots of Fire , a film that won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and introduced the iconic title song still familiar nearly four decades after it first appeared.…”

As a significant theme running through China’s modern history, Christianity’s inglorious role has helped redefine the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) self-proclaimed role as the liberator of the long-suffering nation from imperialist forces. The association between missionaries and Western imperialism has predominated the Chinese communist historiography. Nevertheless, recent years have witnessed a burgeoning movement to reinvent China’s Christian past and reconstruct historical memories of stigmatized missionaries. This article suggests that local governments in China are increasingly recognizing value in the history of Chinese–missionary encounters. This is evident in how local authorities have organized and promoted commemorative activities for Scottish missionary and Olympic champion Eric Liddell (1902–45). In presenting the case of Liddell, this article reveals how the Chinese government takes the initiative in consuming historical memories of Western missionaries, and finds instrumental value in the legacy of such figures despite their religious connections.
