All villagers of Maidichong, the Miao village located in the middle of the mountains in central Yunnan, believe in Christianity. They have kept the faith that came from Europe over a hundred years ago. Singing Christian hymns is a daily routine in the villagers’ life. The moving voices seem to come from the sky above. The film tells how the villagers adhere to their beliefs and shows their worries in real life.

Language: Chinese; Subtitles: Chinese and English; Duration: 83 minutes
