A prolific poet and writer of non-fiction, an educator and a social reformer, a peace activist and a passionate proletarian, New Zealander Rewi Alley devoted almost all his long life to the people of China.
Alley, the third of Frederick and Clara Alley’s seven children, was born in the Canterbury township of Springfield, sixty kilometres west of Christchurch. The honour of naming the child fell to Frederick Alley’s unmarried sister Amy who called the boy Rewi in honour of the Ngati Maniapoto leader Rewi Maniapoto, whose acts of bravery during the New Zealand wars of the 1860s had become legendary.
