The fire put an end to the typically bustling business activities in downtown Beijing. But its psychological impact was much stronger than the financial losses.

Most missionary properties, residences of the foreign teachers at the Imperial University and the Eastern and the Southern Cathedrals were reduced to aches. Many Chinese priests and christian converts perished together in the roaring flames.
