Story:
More than a decade ago, in a remote little town named Fangshan, in the north of Jiangsu Province, with the fund raised by some local inhabitants' relatives from Taiwan, a Christian church was built. Since then, believers come to the church every morning. On Sundays, up to 900 people gather here to worship God. Small meetings are voluntarily organized in their houses every evening. Doxologies, sermons, testimonies and prayers become the biggest part of their life, day after day, year after year... XU Xin watched closely those Christians over two years, bringing us a faithful and complete record of not only their spiritual life but also their worldly life, through his interviews with Hu Shengqiang, the doorkeeper and Lao Chen, the choirmaster. This documentary reflects the image of a typical countryside church in China.
