Quotes by Liao Yiwu (?)

“In these remote corners, I have discovered a center point, where East met West, and although there has been a collision of cultures, there is now a new Christian identity that is distinctly Chinese.

The circuitous mountain path in Yunnan province is red because over many years it has been soaked with blood.”
― Liao Yiwu, God is Red: The Secret Story of How Christianity Survived and Flourished in Communist China
