Here and there, I hear about the burgeoning underground church in China. Here is information taken from a website about a great film that was made by Trinity Broadcasting Network - one of the best Christian films I've ever seen, about an amazing Chinese woman who lived during the time when communism was beginning to take over China. I don't know why it took me so long to report this film because I love it so much. Oh, and the book is good too.
The Story of a woman who found the courage to love and the strength to survive all odds.
Starring: Julia Nickson Soul, Russel Wong, James Shigeta
"Passionate, heartfelt movie making and a personal triumph for Julia Nickson Soul."
-Michael Medved
Nora Lam's story is wrapped up within one of the most incredible marvels in all world history: how the Christian church survived under repressive atheistic communism in China. But it did more than survive. It thrived and multiplied.
We can better understand these heroic Christians through Nora's story. Adopted by a prominent family in Shanghai in 1941, little Sung Neng Yee (Nora Lam) is treated like a princess...until the bombs drop (WW II), and the Japanese seize her house.
After the defeat of the Japanese, she joins the Communists, believing they are the liberators of China. All goes well until she falls in love with Lam Cheng Shen from Hong Kong. Communist officials decide to break her of any bourgeois tendencies.
During the next few years, in which she marries and has three children, she is subjected to excruciating persecution. She calls out to God for salvation. Miracles follow.
