See main article: Quakerism in Sichuan. During the late 19th and first half of 20th century, Tungchwan was one of the mission centres of the Friends' Foreign Mission Association (FFMA),[3] being the largest mission branch of FFMA's Northern District. Quaker-affiliated hospital, meeting house, boys' school and girls' boarding school were built during this period.[4] The British political economist and missionary Audrey Donnithorne was born at a Quaker hospital in Santai.[5]
