Lingling, it's the New Year.
Did your mom and dad buy you new clothing?
Look! This is the clothing my parents gave me.
Her parents don't want her, she's a street urchin.
That's ridiculous! I'm not a street urchin! I'm not!
Oh, you're back already.
Grandma …
Lingling,
what's wrong?
Do you miss your mom?
Lingling, don't be upset.
Here, come sit with me.
Grandma, (Yes?)
where have my mom and dad gone?
Are they going to come back this year?
Lingling, you're sensible.
The police are looking everywhere for your parents
because of their beliefs and faith.
They cannot come back.
So then, we should pray for them, okay?
Grandma, (Yeah.)
why do they wanna arrest believers like us?
The CCP hates God more than anything,
so they also hate us believers
and arrest Christians everywhere.
They dispatch a lot of people to track us, to watch us,
so they can arrest whoever believes in God.
Lingling, you need to be careful out there.
Do not talk openly about our faith. (Mm.)
Grandma, (Mm?)
at school, the teachers are always asking us if we have believers in our families,
and they said to tell them if my parents ever end up coming back.
Lingling, your teacher is being used by the CCP.
They wanna know where your parents are to arrest them.
Don't fall for it, okay?
Be good!
Grandma, this reminds me of
Lingling, you're very good!
Come, why don't you help me with dinner?
I'll make something really good for you.
Be quiet!
Come here!
Foot!
Coat?
What's wrong with your coat? Are you cold?
My foot!
Oh, it's dark, I couldn't see.
You're useless!
Get over here!
Why are we here in the middle of the night?
It's a stakeout.
A stakeout?
We're tailing someone.
Oh, so that's it!
See?
We're watching Xu Huilin's house, they believe in God.
That's what Chief Ma said to do.
Belief in God?
I heard someone who murdered people and escaped,
and the police didn't try hard to catch him.
Why would the Party care so much about getting believers in God?
You don't get it.
The Party hates believers above everything,
so if they insist on believing,
don't they have to be arrested?
The Party is the boss of China,
they can arrest whoever they want.
Their orders are the law!
Who dares oppose them?
Oh, so they're just like you.
In our village,
anyone who doesn't listen to you won't have an easy time!
You know, they say it's called "egotistical."
But those with me prosper,
those against me die.
Get it?
Yes, yes!
Hey, do you think those two are coming back today?
Doesn't matter. We have to keep watch!
What is that saying?
On the holidays you particularly think of …
your dearest things!
Your dearest things?
Isn't it your dear ones?
Whatever!
Okay, and whatever.
This is the New Year,
I can't believe they won't come back.
I heard that Chief Ma has been after them for two years without getting them.
If they had been arrested,
would we have this kind of opportunity?
The central government has issued a confidential document
to strengthen the suppression of religions,
particularly The Church of Almighty God.
We're on a stakeout for believers,
this is the Party's directive.
So, are we government employees now?
The Party is backing us, that's strong support!
This is going to be our lucky break, my friend!
Chief Ma said
that Xu Huilin and her husband
are core members of The Church of Almighty God.
If they were caught,
we'd get a lot more money than from our midnight cattle rustling!
Right? How much would it be?
This much.
5000 Yuan?
No.
50,000!
Oh my gosh, then if we—
Quiet!
Lingling, I'm going to dump the water.
I'll go with you.
Okay, let's go.
Lingling, go on in, it's cold. (Mm.)
Come on.
What are you doing?
What's wrong?
You're trying to suffocate me!
Be quiet!
I'm just afraid we'll be caught.
Get out of here!
Dammit!
It's really unlucky,
I got a mouthful of water and it's all …
seasoned.
What's that smell?
Hey, boss.
Take off your jacket!
What do you mean?
I told you to take off your jacket!
What is it?
Hurry up!
Bo—bo—boss, what will I wear?
Go home and change!
You idiot!
Ah, my waiting has finally paid off!
Well, is her husband here?
No, I'll wait a little longer.
Lingling, let's eat.
Mm.
Huilin!
Mom! (Mom!)
Lingling!
Lingling.
Huilin.
Mom, you're finally back!
Let me see you, Lingling.
You've grown so much!
Don't cry. Please don't cry. (Huilin.)
Come and sit down.
Mom. (Sit down, please!)
Huilin. (Mom.)
Why did you come back?
I have some things to take care of,
and I wanted to see you two.
Mom, (Yes?)
have you been okay these last two years?
Fine, I've had God's care and protection.
Lingling is a good kid,
and she does really well in school.
Now, she's learning to sing and to praise God.
Lingling is a good kid!
Mama, Grandma and I are fine.
Our aunts and uncles who are believers come to see us all the time.
I really miss you and Daddy.
When are we going to be able to spend New Year's together as a family?
We're such a good family,
but the CCP ripped us apart.
It's a sign of these troubling times!
Thinking of you two running from place to place,
not able to come home,
I just really feel honestly so terrible.
I'm always worried about you being tracked and arrested by the police.
Mom, we're fine.
We're fine.
But then I read God's words, saying:
Yes, thank God! (Thank God!)
Almighty God's words give me confidence and strength.
God created everything and rules everything.
Satan is nothing but a tool in His hands,
an object of service. (Amen!)
Just think, we've followed God all these years,
always persecuted by the CCP.
Police come to the house every 2 or 3 days to arrest you.
They search the house or just intimidate us.
Without God's guidance,
I wouldn't have made it this far.
Absolutely, everything is in God's hands!
Understanding this,
I'm not worried for you two anymore.
Thanks be to God!
Mom, (Yes.)
facing the CCP's mad arrests and persecution,
sometimes I'm weak too.
But I know that Christians in China,
we all have to suffer this.
That's right.
Amen!
Thanks be to God!
Mom,
let's sit down and chat. (Okay.)
Mom, (Yes?)
God is using the great red dragon as a foil in the last days
to do service to perfect His chosen people.
Experiencing the CCP's brutal persecution
has let us see the great red dragon's dark evil.
It is a demon directly opposed to God.
Yes.
Through its role as a foil we are able to see
that God is righteous, and that God is holy,
that He is the light, and that He is good.
Even more, we can experience His love and salvation for mankind.
The more we experience God's work this way,
the more we hate the great red dragon,
the more we long for the truth and the light,
and hope for Christ's reign.
Our suffering has meaning and value.
Huilin,
I just hope you two can do your duty where you are. (Okay.)
We will continue to experience God's work and do our duty at home.
Please don't worry about us, okay?
Thanks, Mom, then I won't worry.
Lingling,
you were born into a Christian family,
and you've experienced some pain and persecution.
This is not a bad thing. It is God training us.
That's right.
Read more of God's words and learn to seek the truth,
to know good and evil.
You'll understand some things when you're older. OK?
Mm. I'll remember that!
Mom, when I think of you and Daddy,
I pray to God with Grandma and read God's words aloud with her,
and then I feel much better.
Very good. (And I also learned a dance.)
Mama, I would like to show you.
Great. (Let your mom see.)
Hello?
Chief Ma, it's me.
Did Xu Huilin come back?
Yes, but it's just her.
Zheng Shaode. (Her alone?)
Yes.
We should still arrest her!
Yes! It still counts as one down.
I'll be there right away. (Yes.)
Mom. (Huilin.)
There's a problem. Zheng Shaode has reported you to the police.
You have to leave! Go! (Mom.)
I still have so much I wanna tell you!
Lingling, when we're not home,
you have to listen to your grandma.
Got it?
Huilin, go now, or it will be too late!
You need to go now!
Mom, go!
Huilin, wait!
Mom.
Take this money for an emergency.
Mom, I don't need it. You should keep it.
Take it!
Mom. (Huilin.)
Zhiyong gave me this letter for you, take it.
Okay, child, go now!
Mom, hurry!
Lingling!
Hurry! (Mom!)
Go, go!
Child, don't cry. Don't cry!
We'll pray for your mom.
We'll pray for your mom.
You guys, keep watch around the back!
Yes, sir!
Hey! Hello!
Who is it?
What are you doing?
Chief Ma, it's me!
You idiot!
What's wrong with you?
Zheng Shaode.
Yes. Chief Ma?
Where is she?
She's inside the house.
I knew she'd come for the New Year.
She can't escape my grasp this time!
Yes, Chief. Just wait this time, she can't run!
Who is it?
It's me, Mr. Ma.
Hello Mr. Ma.
Go on! Get over there! (Grandma!)
Ma'am. Happy New Year!
We came just to call on you.
You're "calling on" me very thoroughly.
As the police, we serve the people.
We must be thorough after all.
Chief, she's not here.
She's not here?
Zheng Shaode!
Yes? Chief Ma.
Where is she?
I saw her come back with my own eyes!
It's so strange! (Dammit!)
Turn the place upside down!
Yes, sir! Okay!
You old hag!
Where's Xu Huilin? Tell me!
You're always watching and tracking her.
If you don't know, how should I?
Chief!
You!
She gave you this money, right?
This is evidence of you harboring criminals.
This money is now government property. (Right!)
That is the child's tuition.
You can't take it!
Get away! (Grandma!)
You!
If your son and his wife don't come back,
your granddaughter will be kicked out of school!
You still want her to go to school?
What right do you have to kick her out of school?
What right?
You believe in God, not the Party.
This is a serious crime!
Old woman, I'm telling you,
taking a little money is nothing.
Your house could be sealed up, your land confiscated,
and you could go to jail.
That wouldn't be excessive.
We can do whatever we want with Christians until we can beat them to death!
This is what the government allows!
If we didn't want to entice your son and his wife back here,
based on the Party's policies,
you think, do you actually think you could just stay here in peace?
Chief Ma,
I really thank you for allowing me to stay here in peace!
No problem! It's our pleasure.
Chief Ma, we couldn't find her.
Chief, look, I found this.
That's my mom's.
Hm! Your mom's?
This is evidence.
This necklace needs to be kept by the state!
You can't! (Give it back to me!)
Get back! (Lingling! Lingling! Lingling!)
What are you doing?
Don't disrupt our official duties!
Humph! Little bastard!
Zheng Shaode!
Chief Ma.
This is the New Year,
and it was you who called us here.
So tell us, what should we do?
Chief Ma, I'm really sorry.
It's my fault, I had you come for nothing.
I'll take you out for drinks another day.
Chief Ma.
Stand aside!
Chief Ma, Chief Ma …
See, it's the middle of the night,
I've been freezing and hungry, that reward …
You're useless!
You can't even do a stakeout.
What are you thinking? You want a reward?
You must be dreaming, you idiot!
You!
Okay, goodbye.
Damn it!
It's the New Year, and I wanted a wad of cash.
I didn't expect to come out completely empty-handed,
and now I have to buy them drinks.
This is terrible luck! (Boss! Boss!)
What's going on? Do you have the money in hand?
Go to hell!
What?
You idiot!
What? What happened?
She ran off!
Ran off?
Hey, this time it didn't work out, but we can try again!
Grandma, (Yes.)
can we read my dad's letter now? (Sure. Okay, okay.)
Mom, Lingling:
I'm doing fine out here, don't worry.
The CCP is ramping up its arrests of Christians,
so I can't go home to look after you.
I have no way to take care of you.
But I know you have God's care and protection,
and the help and support of brothers and sisters.
We can make it through all difficulties.
Although, we are apart in the flesh and have suffered greatly,
we are together in the tribulation, the kingdom, and the patience of Christ.
We should all be proud!
We were born into such an evil world, such an evil country,
but we have received God's love and salvation.
This is so precious for us!
It is!
I often rejoice that our family can follow God and accept His salvation.
God's gospel of the kingdom is now growing overseas.
More and more people are seeking and accepting His appearance and work.
Brothers and sisters are more and more mature in their lives,
and the experiences and testimonies of God's chosen people
are being put online.
God has already gained a group of people,
and His work of the last days will be finished.
Disasters in the great red dragon's country are growing,
and God's words are being fulfilled.
Mom, after the great red dragon collapses,
we will meet again!
Lingling, Dad loves you!
God loves you even more!
Take care of yourselves.
May we all pursue the truth and obey God!
Amen!
