I think that the Boxer deserves a bad reputation. The Boxer of Rebellion first started in Shandong, back then they were only helping China to defend other countries from invading them. In 1900, the Boxer movement quickly spread around China towards the Beijing area, where they killed Chinese Christians and Christian missionaries. Not only they kill people, the Boxer also destroyed churches and railroad stations, cutting railway lines and also destroying other properties. Forcing other countries like the U.S invading into China and taking it down, also to rescue Chinese christians. This makes the situation more complicated. Soon, other countries joined the Americans and built a wall in Peking (now known as Beijing), that only foreigners were aloud in. Adding on to this, other countries started killing Boxer in Peking, but due to the fact that they don’t know who the Boxer actually is, they killed a lot of innocent people. This shows that the Boxer deserves a bad reputation. Although they were defending China at first and had helped China fight other countries/foreigners, they didn’t stop killing after that.

In conclusion, the Boxer were really selfish, because they have killed lots of innocent Chinese Christians just because they don’t want Chinese people to believe in Christianity. The Boxer made villagers feel unsafe which wasn’t the original intention at first.
