Catholic in the villages of Shaanxi Province, China, 2001
This documentary series constitutes an in-depth look at Catholicism, its believers and its existence within (rural) societies in modern-day China.
In the Shaanxi province Yang Yankang went to meet the Catholics of China.
In this central region many consider the cradle of Chinese civilization, the discovery of these particularly faithful individuals is astonishing.
The capital Xi’an has long been at the center of many former dynasties. Today, the field work and daily life find themselves atuned to Christian rituals. Processions across the countryside that ask for God’s aid in harvesting, baptisms, and funerals, show that these Chinese live their faith with fervor.
