Cao Futian

Chinese leader of the Boxer Uprising (died 1901)

Cao Futian was a charismatic Chinese leader of the Yìhéquán, or Boxers who organized attacks on Chinese Christians and foreign missionaries during the late Qing dynasty's Boxer movement. When the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance forced the imperial court to change from support of the Boxers to suppression, government troops captured and beheaded him in 1901.
