Description
Still Red interweaves the true life stories of Mingyen, Saimen and Lili. From different generations, contrasting spheres of society, and on separate journeys, these three remarkable individuals share one thing in common: They will do whatever it takes to see their homeland of China filled with Hope-even if it means sacrificing their lives.
Through their adventures, Still Red paints a picture of the pressures, demands and challenges confronting ordinary people trying to live lives of faith in the People's Republic of China. When, for the first time in her young life, Lili is being warned about the penalties for converting others to Christianity, Mingyen has the lowly task of daily cleaning out the cesspool in this labour camp. Saimen, meanwhile, is being paraded through the streets wearing a dunce cap and a placard, a victim of the infamous struggle meetings during the Revolution
Whether forced to withstand the harshness of the Chinese gulag, endure inhuman conditions, or live life as a fugitive under the threat of "shoot to kill orders, Mingyen, Saimen and Lili's humanity and survival in extreme circumstances are an inspiration to all.
