Description
THIS DVD can be played in ALL regions. Includes English, Spanish and Portuguese tracks with or without English subtitles. Her 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 Chinese 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, 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 Iam 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. She bargains for her husband and daughter's release to Hong Kong and is sent to hard! labor, where she starts agitating for her own release. An intimate love story, sage of courage, and acclaimed inspirational gem.

This was a good movie, inspiring and a good example of someone who didn't recant, who didn't give up and who fought the whole way.

An important story brought to film April 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This story can teach us a lot about the situation in communist China. It's not against China, but against the evils of communism. In fact, she simply describes her experience and others can easily feel the evil. They didn't need to alter it to preach against it. After having read the book, which the movie follows very closely, I can say that nothing was exaggerated in the behavior of the communists toward Nora.
The movie does cut off almost half of the book, so if it piqued your interest, I encourage you to find a copy of the book here at Amazon and read it. She goes on with a ministry that will just amaze you at the faith she had. It's really beautiful and inspiring to this Christian (I'm a Mormon but she is not) who wishes to serve her Lord Jesus Christ and is given her powerful example.
The movie is a little clunky, but for its budget, it's very good. I watched the miracle scene twice to figure it out and still wasn't quite sure what happened. SPOILER AHEAD. I read the book and to my satisfaction, Nora found out later in life about the miracle. One of the guards from that day described his experience. He, along with the other guards, aimed to shoot her. Three times they tried. But each time, an extremely bright light would appear, heavy winds would blow and their guns would heat up making it uncomfortable and impossible to shoot at her. They shot but it went to the wall behind and elsewhere. The guard was so impressed with a God that would cause this to happen, that he immediately ran off and went to a church to talk to a Nun and was converted.
To end my review, I will say that those without faith can watch the movie and the book and explain away the miracles, but those who exercise a little faith and an open heart can see clearly the miracle of her wonderful life story.
An Inspiring Saga April 19, 2008
This movie is an incredible story of faith in the midst of persecution. I think it is a "must-see" for Christians in America, because we can too easily take our religious freedom for granted. I highly recommend this movie!
 China Cry March 28, 2008
After reading the book, the movie was a disappointment because they focused on such a short period of her life. It isn't up the standards of The Hiding Place even though it was made by the same producer, but it is worth watching and owning.
