A young American traces the path of one of southern China's first native evangelists, her great-grandfather.
Yu An Lo is 86 years old, living in Seattle. His family has written a short book about the life of his father, Lo Ren Fu, a legendary Chinese Christian Evangelists from the Hakka region of Guangdong Province. Using this book as a guide, he plans a whirlwind trip to explore his father's lasting impact on China today.
His American-born granddaughter, Emmya 21 year old performance artist living in New York Cityaccompanies Yu An Lo on his trip to connect with her Chinese Christian family and to learn about her Hakka culture.
Told through Emmy's point of view, the story traces the path of Lo Ren Fu's astonishing life across Southern China. Along the way Emmy experiences what it's like to be a practicing Christian at different levels in Chinese society, and learns first-hand of the unthinkable sacrifices people made throughout the past century to sustain the Christian faith.
Finding God in China is filled with striking imagery, from Guangdong's most remote villages to its largest cities. The journey is driven by a pulsating, original electro-pop score mixed with authentic Chinese choir music. It is a celebration of life, family, food, singing, and a search for faith that takes Emmy far beyond all expectations. Finding God in China will show you a unique niche of China that very, very few people have ever witnessed or experienced.
