Metrophanes Chi Sung (his Chinese name is also sometimes translated as Tsi Chung) or Mitrophan (December 10 1855 – June 10 1900) was the first Chinese Eastern Orthodox priest to be martyred. He was killed with his family members and church followers in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. He is the best known of some 222 Holy Chinese Martyrs glorified in August 2000 by the Eastern Orthodox Church. Metrophanes was stabbed in the chest by a crowd of rebels.
