A 2005 PPP project, this film captures the lives of Christian farmers in China. Common housewife and Christian, Xiao-Li must provide for her husband, ill with pneumoconiosis, and her daughter. The only thing she has to lean on is her religion. However, things turn for the worst. She is forced to pay for her husband’s funeral and her daughter’s school. She discovers hope in the Christian community as it reaches out to her when no one else does. The scene where her husband is carried away in a wagon at the brink of death represents the alienated people from society of the remote farming class. Xiao-Li is able to pay for her daughter’s schooling with the help of neighbors from the funeral. Although it appears to be a quiet flow of change on the outside, on the inside it is a seedling of a growing alternative community. (Kim Ji-suk)
