Example Sentences
- "The army now began to advance, not yet from the Sha-ho, because there were troops occupying the hills on the north bank of the Hun River, twenty miles in the rear, that had to be brought up. These were the Frist Siberian Corps at Fu-ling and the Third Siberian Corps at Fu-shun, with a force also at Ying-p'an."

Anshan became the major iron and steel center under the Japanese, and still is so; the ore there is relatively low grade, and is hence expensive to move to the coal; coal accordingly moves to it from Fu-shun, Fou-hsin, and from high quality coking-coal deposits in the Pen-ch’i area in southeastern Manchuria."
- "Four years later China became a Communist republic, and the Russians sent the Emperor home. He could have been executed for collaborating with the Japanese, but he wasn't: instead Chairman Mao packed him off to the War Criminals' Prison at Fu-shun in Manchuria for 're-education through labour'."
- "About 3,000 years ago, Chinese miners dug for coal in the Fu-shun mine in north-eastern China."
