Geschiedenis
Dom Jean-Marie Struyven was a Trappist monk from Belgium and former superior of the Abbey of Our Lady of Consolation. The community was originally founded in the late 19th century in a remote area of China, north of the Great Wall. The community suffered persecution in 1947 and moved to Beijing. At this time, Struyven came to lead the community until he was expelled from China in 1953. He returned to the Abbey of Scourmont near Chimay, Belgium, and there he writes to Merton.
