Delivering books to the churches is dangerous.
So please be careful.
Of course.
- Alright, I'm off. - Mom, I'm leaving for school.
Come straight home after school.
Finished your homework?
All done.
Then let's read some words of God.
In God's words—
Who's there?
It's me.
Sister Yu.
Your husband was arrested.
The police will definitely be here to search, you have to go.
Got it.
Get the books.
Here.
I'll be gone for a few days.
If you feel afraid here at home, just pray to God.
He'll be with you.
If you need any help, go find your aunt.
I'll be back when things settle down.
I know, Mom. You need to get going!
Who is it?
Police. Open up!
Open this door right now!
God, what should I do?
Please give me wisdom.
Open the door!
What are you doing?
Where's your mom?
She's away for work.
Captain, no one's here.
Your dad was arrested handing out religious books.
We're here to search.
- Search the place. - Yes, sir.
Where did your mom go for work?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Does she believe in Almighty God too?
I don't know.
Captain, this is all we found.
Take it all.
When your mom gets back, have her come into the station.
You hear me?
Let's go.
Where did those books come from?
Where were they printed? Confess!
My faith doesn't break any law.
I don't have anything to confess.
You're tough to crack,
but I bet I can pry that mouth open.
Are you gonna talk?
Why do you torture believers?
You're breaking the law.
The law?
That's just what I intend to do today.
Talk, or I'll end you!
Strap him in!
Were you aware that by printing off religious books,
handing them out and preaching your gospel,
you are committing a very serious crime!
Having faith is right and natural
and sharing the gospel is a good deed.
I haven't broken any laws!
Still acting tough?
I'm telling you,
we can beat Almighty God believers to death, and no one cares!
I'll see how long you can hold on.
Don't wanna talk, huh?
I'll show you!
Won't talk?
I'll show you!
I'll ask you once more. Will you talk now, or not?
Damn you! Give him a taste of the electric chair!
Talk!
Who told you to deliver those books? Who's your church leader?
Spit it out!
You little shit!
Turn up the voltage!
We'll get you talking!
Who did this?
He just wouldn't talk.
So you killed him?
This is a big problem.
If this gets out, it will damage our reputation.
Are you prepared to take responsibility for this?
Director Hu,
haven't the bosses said that it doesn't matter if those people die?
Saying that is one thing,
but if someone actually dies and their family makes a fuss,
it's bad for our image
and we have to pay reparations.
You idiot!
Director Hu,
what do we do now?
Do you really have to ask? What do we always do?
Understood.
Say he died of a sudden cardiac arrest.
Don't let them catch on.
Yes, sir.
Sister Zhou, any news on my husband?
The village head said that he had sudden cardiac arrest.
He didn't make it. They wanted his family to go claim his body.
Sister …
He didn't have any heart problems.
How could he have a heart attack out of nowhere?
Doesn't that mean …
he was beaten to death?
The Communist Party hates believers so much, that has to be what happened.
Sister Yang,
you have to stay strong!
He was perfectly fine a few days ago.
Just a few days!
Now he's dead …
What law did he break? But they beat him to death …
They truly are demons.
They're vile!
- I need to go home. - Sister …
They'll arrest you, don't go.
I need to go back.
- You can't go. - I have to go home …
- The director's here. Let's see what he says. - Yeah, let him talk.
What law did my brother's faith break?
On what grounds did you arrest him? You even beat him to death?
The Church of Almighty God is a major national target for containment and elimination.
Liu Zhongshi's belief in Almighty God was illegal.
Doesn't the Constitution give us freedom of belief?
- Yeah, it does! - It does!
You just arbitrarily arrest my brother and beat him to death.
You're just a law unto yourself?
- You're a law unto yourself? - You are a law unto yourself.
How many times have we told you?
He wasn't beaten to death, but suffered cardiac arrest. Got it?
My brother was in perfect health. He didn't have any heart problems!
You said it was a health problem, so why can't we see the body?
You can see the body.
As long as you sign the agreement acknowledging we were in no way involved,
we'll let you see the body immediately.
Let us see the body first,
and we'll sign after verifying he wasn't beaten to death.
- Yeah, we need to see the body first. - It's been days and you haven't let us see it.
- There's definitely something fishy here! - I advise you to stop stirring up trouble.
It won't do anyone any good if you make a big deal out of this.
If you agree to keep this under wraps,
we'll let you see the body and you'll receive some compensation.
Make a fuss,
and you won't get a single cent and we'll arrest all of you, too!
Liu Zhonglin,
your factory is doing pretty well, right?
You also got that road in front of it paved, didn't you?
If that road were to be taken out and your factory sealed up,
could you still do business?
Give it some thought.
Now you're threatening me?
I'm just making things clear for you.
This guy is gone and he's not coming back,
but those of you left, you still have to get by!
Settle it behind closed doors,
you'll get a little bit of a settlement,
then you'll be able to take care of your family,
right?
I don't want a settlement,
I just want my dad alive.
I just want my dad alive,
I just want my dad alive …
A man in perfect health, beaten to death by you.
His daughter's just 14.
How are they supposed to make it, as an orphan and a widow?
Look at what you guys did to him, but you say you didn't beat him to death?
How can you cops kill people with impunity?
What about morals, the law?
- Zhongshi … Zhongshi … - Dad … Dad …
That's enough, you've seen it. Let's go!
- Dad … - Zhongshi …
Let's go!
Zhongshi …
- Dad … - Zhongshi …
Give me my dad back …
Dad …
Give me my dad back …
More brothers and sisters have been arrested these last few days.
Be careful out there sharing the gospel.
Don't worry.
If I am arrested, it will be with God's permission.
We have to face it calmly and stand witness for God.
- Xiaoyu. - Yes?
What do we do if we really are arrested?
- Never sell out, even if it means death! - Right!
If we really are arrested, and they torture us,
we'd rather be martyred than be a Judas!
Zhongshi was with us just a few days ago.
They killed such a wonderful man this way.
How can the Communist Party be so evil?
Why do they hate believers so much?
Sister Yang,
have something to eat.
I can't stomach anything.
I had a simplistic way of looking at faith before.
I thought that having faith meant being a good person and taking the right path.
If the government tries to stop or arrest you,
they'll only intimidate you.
Now I know from personal experience
that the Communist Party is an evil demon that hates God more than anything.
It's in a life-or-death struggle with believers.
Those of us who follow God are in constant danger.
Following God really does mean giving our life.
Your husband was arrested and martyred for doing his duty.
He didn't sell out the church or betray God.
He stood witness and will be commemorated by God.
We have to understand God's will!
Having everyone in the family believe in God is a wonderful thing.
I never imagined he'd be arrested and beaten to death, just like that,
and there's nowhere to seek justice.
This world is so dark.
This inspires me even more to follow God till the very end.
That's the right response.
The more they persecute us,
the more clearly we see their demonic essence and this world's darkness and evil.
Then we're even more excited to follow God and resolved to expend ourselves for Him.
We need to stand up strong and not let Satan scare us.
God is with us.
He is the truth, the way, and the life.
We can't go wrong by following God.
I have to stand witness and humiliate the devil Satan
to bring comfort to Zhongshi's spirit up in heaven.
Here, have some while it's hot.
Zhongshi was such a wonderful man, but he was killed by the police.
I know.
What kind of cops are they?
He was clearly beaten to death but they insist it was a heart attack.
There's no rule of law!
Oh, brother!
I couldn't get justice for you. I've let you down …
Huiying.
- Huiying's here! - Mom …
Dad's gone.
Dad's gone …
Xiaoyu,
Xiaoyu …
Huiying, my brother died unjustly.
The police beat him to death.
The CCP police deserve a thousand deaths.
Mom, Mom …
Zhongshi …
The Communist Party specifically goes after believers.
They tore apart such a wonderful family!
- How will those two get by without him? - Yeah.
Huiying, don't cry too much.
Hello?
I'm calling from the station. Has Yang Huiying come home yet?
No, she hasn't!
Her husband died, but she hasn't come back?
You beat her husband to death and now you want her, too.
You want to kill them all?
Huiying, the police just called asking if you've come back.
They're sure to come arrest you.
You have to go!
- Huiying, go! - You have to leave!
Mom, you have to go!
What kind of world is this?
Zhongshi was arrested while delivering books to the churches,
then beaten to death.
The devil Satan
is so terrified that people will read God's words and understand the truth!
How can I stand witness for God through this?
Facing persecution by the great red dragon is with God's permission,
and it's something we need to suffer.
You're right.
God uses these kinds of tribulations and trials to perfect our faith and love.
Let's see what God's words say.
Alright.
These last few days, I haven't stopped wondering
why Zhongshi had to be beaten to death by the CCP.
Why does the CCP hate believers so much?
I found the answer in God's words.
Almighty God also said,
page 897,
Amen!
In such an evil, licentious age, following God is really dangerous!
If we want to gain the truth, we have to exchange our lives for it.
Yes.
Just like the Lord Jesus said:
Amen!
The great red dragon hounds Christ and leaves Him without a place to lay His head.
It wants to arrest all of us believers and eliminate us.
It is the enemy of God!
It is.
It is always following us, watching our every move,
immediately arresting everyone when they find a gathering,
and even taking church offerings.
Who knows how many Christians it has devastated,
how many homes it's destroyed.
This is a memory of blood for me.
It has been branded onto my heart.
Now I can see very clearly
that only Almighty God can save mankind,
only the truth expressed by Him can cleanse our corruption,
can truly save us from Satan's influence.
My husband is gone now, but I'm not negative or afraid.
I'm even more resolved to follow God until the end and shame Satan!
Amen!
The great red dragon is ravaging people all over the place.
There are people in churches all over the country who have been killed by it,
and some church leaders are arrested and then beaten to death.
Some are given sentences of one or two decades,
and plenty of people are still serving time in prison.
Let's read some of God's words.
Page 886.
Amen!
Brother Zhongshi was arrested then killed just for delivering books.
- The CCP is incredibly evil! - It is.
All true followers of God will end up facing tribulations and trials.
Job went through such tremendous trials,
having all of his possessions taken from him and losing all of his children
in just a single day.
He never blamed God, but still praised His name.
Yes.
Now that is true faith.
Amen!
Overcomers are those who give beautiful, resounding testimony
even through these kinds of trials and tribulations.
Very true.
There are more believers in Almighty God being arrested every day,
and so many beaten to death.
Who knows how many are on the run and can't go home.
The Communist Party is so evil, so horrible!
Those of us who follow Christ have all gone through a lot of trials and tribulations.
We've all seen Satan's evil, ugly face
and we hate and curse the great red dragon from the heart.
Did we hate the great red dragon this much before?
No.
So then why do we hate it so much now?
It's thanks to going through tribulations and trials.
Exactly.
Now we can really feel God's loveliness
because Almighty God expressed so many truths,
all for mankind's salvation.
God is calling out to mankind, purifying and saving us with these truths.
These truths are invaluable for our salvation!
This is all God's great love for us!
Yeah.
So no matter how the CCP suppresses us, arrests us, or persecutes us,
as long as we can gain the truth and life, any suffering is worth it!
- Yes. - Amen!
The great red dragon sees believers as its enemy,
pushing those it gets its hands on to the brink of death.
This is determined by the devil Satan's own nature.
They killed my husband and now they want to throw me in prison.
They want to wipe out all believers in God.
Satan can't bear to live under the same sky as God.
You're right.
I have also learned from this
that as believers, we have to recognize God's authority in ruling everything
and believe that absolutely everything is in His hands.
Only God is righteous, and only God can save us from Satan's influence.
Amen!
As long as we can pursue the truth and stand witness through trials and tribulations,
we will gain God's approval.
Amen!
Whether it means life or death, I will follow God until the end.
I don't care about the CCP's arrests and persecutions,
I'm going to follow God, do my duty, and shame Satan.
Amen!
Thanks be to God!
The police got my dad,
but he was ready to die before selling out brothers and sisters or betraying God.
He stood witness.
He was really something.
I'm going to read more of God's words, learn the truth,
and just like my dad, share the gospel, do my duty, and stand witness for God
so I can be someone God's proud of.
You're a good girl.
