Tianjin's 'Flying Scotsman'

At the end of the classic movie Chariots of Fire, Eric Liddell said he would return to China.

The 1981 Oscar-winning film captures the peak of Liddell's sports career, but as a biography it leaves out many interesting stories about the Scotsman.

The "Flying Scotsman" may have competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics as a British athlete, but China also claims him as one of our heroes because he was born in Tianjin (in 1902), died in Shandong (in 1945) and spent more than half of his life in China.
