The Inn of the Sixth Happiness is a 1958 film based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a tenacious British maid, who became a missionary in China during the tumultuous years leading up to World War II.
Over the next few months, Aylward saves her money to purchase a ticket on the Trans-Siberian railway, choosing the more dangerous overland route to the East because it is less expensive.
The local mandarin appoints Aylward, a stubborn but endearing woman, as his Foot Inspector to ensure that the ancient practice of foot binding is eradicated in the region he governs.

 The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (1958) at Reel Classics: a review
One is carried along by everything that happens to her: her tears of distress after witnessing a beheading are as genuine as are her tears of joy when the Mandarin (Robert Donat) declares his conversion to Christianity.
See the many emotions she displays during these sequences: determination when they find a bridge over a swollen river destroyed-- “We can't stop now!” she says with clenched fist; happiness mixed with incomprehension as, exhausted, she leads the children into Xi'an, amidst cheering crowds.
The missionary who meets them turns out to be the same Dr. Robinson (Moultrie Kelsall) who told her she was “simply not qualified” to be a missionary.
