Boxers do deserve a bad rap. First, they tried to scare the foreigners. When they burned down the Hanlin Academy library, they thought that they could control fire. But it ended when they burned not only foreigners house, but also the fire burn down many Chinese people’s houses too. This shows that Boxers believed their gods that they can control fire, and arrogant with it. Then, they did not just fight with the foreigners, but also the Boxers assaulted and trapped all the foreigners in the wall for 54 days. People were starving and died. This reveals Boxers do not care about people’s life, they just wanted to killed them all. Lastly, the Boxers deceived the foreigners. Boxers told them if they go to the court, they will be saved. But after foreigners goes inside, the Boxers came inside and killed them all. This evidence suggests that the Boxers were dishonest to foreginers, they deceived them and just wanted to kill them. The Boxers are tried to proected Chinese cutre, tradition and their religion, but they used worrg extreme way to did this.
