Did you go with a group, or were you all on your own?

This is what you'd call a "super deluxe" trip.

but a car service with forced pickups and dropoffs.

But … I couldn't choose my accommodations.

Sometimes I had to sleep against a toilet.

Oh no, that's filthy! People sleep there?

Wait, you weren't on a trip, you were arrested?

Yeah. Everyone knows the Chinese government will persecute people for religious beliefs.

They made me take a little vacation because of my faith.

Having faith in China is not easy. (It's not.)

Since China's founding it has persecuted Christians regularly.

Hey, can you believe in God as a government official?

Everyone knows officials aren't allowed to be religious!

My grandmother raised me to believe in the Lord since I was little.

After joining the government, my faith was not acceptable.

This is what it's like to believe in God in China!

No matter the situation, I had to figure something out. (Yes.)

In the mornings, before others came to work,

As soon as I hear the door, I would hide it.

But after a while I couldn't hide it anymore.

so I got my things together and went home.

I had to retrieve my copies of God's word from my desk.
