action
Sung Neng Yee was born into a well-to-do family and sought first to become part of Mao Zedong's "new society". But the Marxist regime brings hardship and privation to her family. She is arrested by the authorities and barely escapes a firing squad, believing that it could only have been Jesus Christ who saved her from it. Despite her pregnancy, she was sent to a labor camp, but survived and eventually even managed to lead her children and family to freedom.
criticism
“Drama based on a true story. A mother of three and an avid follower of Mao got caught up in the maelstrom of the Chinese Cultural Revolution because she was raised in a Christian way by her parents. In the following years she has to endure terrible physical and psychological torments. "
