Jansson, Martin. Kineser på himlavägen. "Martin wrote a book "Kineser på himlavägen", about the hearings and shootings that took place, focusing especially on Pastor Dong. This has been translated into Chinese, and parts of it (which are not so politically critical) have been translated into Chinese. Mariann, Martin's daughter, brought it to the family a couple of years ago. Part of the family now lives in Australia, and I guess they can have the complete story! Evidently the family has suffered even in later years and several of the younger generation are interested to leave the country." Lally Rinell. [The book is in the library of Lally Rinell].

Rudex. See Rinell, Oscar. "Rudex" was a pen name for Oscar Rinell. He often used this pen name so authorities would have more difficulty identifying him as the writer of his articles. I believe he also used the initials 'll' at times in place of 'Rinell' LJH.

[To be investigate].

Regarding archives in Bethel College and an Institute of Theology (formerly Bethel Seminary) in Stockholm, Sweden, Lally Rinell had this to say: ⁶⁴

To your question: yes, there are lots and lots of archived materials in Stockholm. We are a group of retired people who got to Bethel (former seminary, now divided into a College and an Institute of Theology) to work in the archives. We are trying to bring order into all the documents that have accumulated during the years. Part of the Chinese material is in one section, but many pictures are in another section, and letters and minutes from board meetings in a third section . . . There are, of course, also a number of books on China, written for anniversaries or by missionaries on special topics. However there is a great shortage of anything in any other language than Swedish!
