Paint this scene fo rme: Siu-Zi and her Father were locked in their apartment for a very long time, unable to go outside. They scarcely had enough water to drink, and not nearly enough food to eat. After those terrible days, a deep, silent sorrow had settled over the family. Siu-Zi’s Father and Grandmother were now the adults in her life, and it seemed as if they were at a loss for what to do. Siu-Zi's Father was very unhappy, not only about the death of his wife and father-in-law, but also about the way the family had been treated by the government officials. Siu-Zi heard him talking to their neighbor in the hallway outside their apartment, and thought to herself that she had never before heard Father complain about anything. As they talked, two other neighbors came out of their apartments. The conversation became loud, and it seemed to Siu-Zi that everyone was very upset.
Paint this scene fo rme: At length, they reached a plan in which Ah Zi's father would ask for a leave of absence. It was understandable because of the loss of his wife and father-in-law. He would need time to rearrange his life and make a way to care for Siu-Zi. Siu Zi spent several weeks wondering each day if Father would come home from work, tension mounting and the apartment becoming more and more quiet, until finally Father would open the door, and the little family would breathe a long sigh of relief.
Paint this scene fo rme: Siu-Zi is 12 years old, and her father lovingly calls her Ah Zi, meaning “little seed.” She has always been a quiet, observant child. In the bustling streets of Guangzhou, where her early memories shimmered with bright festivals and quiet moments by the river, life had once seemed full of endless possibility. Until two years ago. She could still see vividly the day her Mother had come home early from her job. She was ill, and while Siu-Zi had seen her ill before, it had never been like this. She remembered with painful clarity the days and nights when her Mother, and then her Grandfather, had lay in bed, hardly moving, barely able to breathe. And then the terrible sadness of the day they were taken by the doctors – were they doctors? They seemed more like policemen in white uniforms! – to the hospital. Siu-Zi never saw either of them again. And it wasn’t just in her home, but in many homes in her part of the city, and then, she learned later, all over the country, something her Father called a pandemic was breaking up families, making mothers and fathers, and grandmothers and grandfathers, disappear. Siu-Zi and her Father were locked in their apartment for a very long time, unable to go outside. They scarcely had enough water to drink, and not nearly enough food to eat. After those terrible days, a deep, silent sorrow had settled over the family.
Paint this scene fo rme: Soon, Mr. Chen arranged for them to cross into Hong Kong—a place known for its bright skyline and bustling streets. Under the cover of darkness and with careful planning, the family and their companions boarded a small boat that carried them silently across the water. At about the halfway point they sailed into a thick bank of fog, so dark it felt as if they were inside a bottle of ink. Siu-Zi couldn’t even see her father’s face. A worry, and dark despair began to overwhelm her, she closed her eyes. Then, in the stillness of her own thoughts, as if on a movie screen, Siu-Zi saw a handsome, kind man in white dress. It was as if he was sitting outside the boat on top of the water. He sat there, smiling at Siu-Zi, keeping the same distance from them, outside the boat, and at length, he said, “It’s going to be alright, Siu-Zi. I’ll be here to protect you and no harm will come to you or your family anymore.” The next thing she knew, Siu-Zi’s father was shaking her awake, telling her that the crossing was over.
Paint this scene fo rme: After leaving their home in Guangzhou, Siu Zi and her Father traveled by train to Shenzhen, where the city’s neon lights replaced Guangzhou’s lanterns. The train rumbled through the night, its rhythmic clatter a steady reminder that every mile taken was a step away from the life they once knew—and a step closer to hope, although it still wasn’t clear where or how they would find this new hope. In Shenzhen, they met Mr. Chen once more. In a modest safe house tucked away behind a busy market, he introduced them to a small group of others who, like them, were on the run. There was Mei, a kind woman who had once taught music, and Li, a gentle man whose eyes sparkled with hidden stories. These newfound friends shared whispered words of encouragement, turning fear into a sense of shared purpose.
Father and Grandmother with Siu Zi leaving their home in a Guangzhou street in the dark of night. There is an air of secrecy. Siu Zi clutches her small bag, its contents little more than a few treasured keepsakes and faded photographs. Her father’s reassuring hand on her shoulder, and the soft presence of her grandmother at his side, give her the courage to move forward. A taxi waits down the street to take them to the train.
Paint this scene: Singapore was like stepping into a dream for Siu-Zi. Everything was new—the clean streets, the orderly gardens, and the friendly smiles of strangers, things she had only ever seen on television. In a modest hotel near a bustling hawker centre, she discovered the tastes and smells of dishes that were both strange and delightful. For a few weeks, she and her family settled into a quiet rhythm. Siu- Zi made tentative friends at a local church, where she listened wide-eyed to stories of many other people who had traveled from far-off lands, seeking freedom and safety. Each tale, woven with hope and resilience, whispered promises of a safer, kinder world. They met missionaries there who said they had been praying for Siu-Zi and her family. Siu-Zi’s grandmother was very moved by their faithfulness, and father was overwhelmed by their gifts of clothing, so they would no longer look like Chinese refugees, but a proper Asian family on holiday, and enough money to continue their journey, a pre-arranged place to stay and a job to do when they got there. Every night, as the tropical rain tapped gently on the window, Ah Zi lay awake imagining a future free from fear—a future where her father’s faith could shine without the dark threat of government officers taking them away. In Singapore, she learned that sometimes, even in moments of deep loss and uncertainty, God has a mysterious way of planting new seeds of hope and renewing life.
Mr. Chen has arranged for the little family to cross secretly into Hong Kong—a place known for its bright skyline and bustling streets. Under the cover of darkness and with careful planning, Siu Zi, her father and Grandmother, along with Mr. Chen have boarded a small boat that carries them silently across the water. The sea is calm, its surface reflecting a tapestry of starlight, as if the heavens themselves are guiding them. Siu-Zi lies nestled between her father and grandmother, wrapped up in blankets, in the forward part of an open boat with quiet motors propelling them along. Their is an air of mystery and tension.
As the days turned into weeks in Kuala Lumpur, Ah Zi would often sit by the window, drawing in her notebook and writing stories of her journey. Stories of secret meetings in dim teahouses, of starlit crossings over whispering seas, and of kind strangers who risked their own safety for the sake of others. In her writings, the past and the present mingled together, creating a tapestry of hope that she could share with her new friends in Wing Sun’s class—a reminder that even in the darkest of times, a little seed of courage could sprout into a brilliant, life-changing bloom. Ah Zi also wrote about the kind-hearted, handsome man she had met in the time of her greatest fear, and how He had comforted her and given her the confidence she needed to face the future. Show me a page from Siu-Zi's sketchbook and make it look like sketches in colored pencil.
Siu Zi is a 10 year old Chinese girl in Guangzhou. Late one humid evening, Siu Zi's father meets with a discreet man known simply as Mr. Chen. In a quiet corner of a small teahouse near the back alleys of Guangzhou, Mr. Chen explains, in careful whispers, how he can help the family obtain the documents they needed to leave the country safely. Other patrons are in the teahouse, and a waiter stands nearby, but nobody can hear what Mr. Chen is saying. It's safe to talk here.
Inside a large office building in London, on the 5th floor, Wing Sun's father, a Chinese Malaysian man in his 30s, speaks to his counterpart in the company, and English man, about business. Other workers are seated at their desks and standing at a copy machine. There are some Black people, but mostly British. One whole wall of the room is glass and we can see something of London outside.
Morning inside the classroom at a private school in Kuala Lumpur before class begins. Students stand next to their desks as the teacher, standing in front, leads them in the usual morning recitations of the five national principles, their voices blending into one: "Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan." (Belief in God.) "Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara." (Loyalty to the King and Country.) "Keluhuran Perlembagaan." (Supremacy of the Constitution.) "Kedaulatan Undang-Undang." (Rule of Law.) "Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan." (Courtesy and Morality.) Wing-Sun repeats the words automatically, his eyes drift across the classroom, catching a glimpse of Siu-Zi, the new girl, standing in her usual spot near the window.

Inside an informal church in Kuala Lumpur. Wing Sun and his father and mother, along with Siu Zi, his friend from school are there together. We are standing in the back of the room, and there are many more people than there were in the London church. There are people of different ethnicities, but mostly Chinese Malaysian. The Pastor, a Chinese man, is standing up front speaking to the congregation, facing them. The atmosphere is hot and sweaty, with ceiling fans running, but still welcoming, Wing Sun is happy that his family is together and also that his friend Siu Zi, who he has just learned is a Christian, can be there too.
Morning city scene in Petaling Jaya. A 10 year old chinese boy and his grandmother. As they weave through the narrow sidewalk, taxis zip by, buses screech to a halt at stoplights, motorbikes wend their way through the stopped traffic, trying to get a head start when the light turns green. People in the informal businesses set up along the sidewalks call out greetings in a mix of Cantonese, Malay, and English. The sky, still soft with the remnants of dawn, and yet already heavy with humid heat, hinted at another sweltering afternoon ahead.
A street scene in a majority world city (perhaps the middle east or asia). A young man and his wife and 3 children walk away from the camera into this city, with all its history and culture. They're off to discover and learn about this new old world. The youngest child is in a pack on her back, and dad has a day pack. The kids are as excited as the parents. What will today hold?
Sure. Try this one: Steampunk duo, one male, one female, both engineers, discover a portal to a hidden Tartarian world. Inside, they find advanced free energy tech, learn its secrets, then return to help free their people.
An outdoor scene in a park. a merry-go-round is nearby. A mother squats down to help her little boy, who is crying and making a fuss. other kids are playing in the background but this little boy is very unhappy. Mom has a kind and gentle face and is trying to help him feel better.
Wing Sun is a 10 year old Malaysian boy. We see him from the back as he stands, looking down the street in the evening. The scent of mooncakes and burning lantern oil fills the air in the street in Petaling Jaya where Wing Sun lives. Everything is aglow with the soft light of lanterns, their colors reflected in the puddles left by the afternoon rain. At least 6 vendors have pulled their carts up onto the sidewalks on both sides of the street, selling moon pies and other special treats. Several of Wing-Sun's neighborhood friends, some younger than he and some a little older, were standing around in a circle, waiting for him to come outside.
In a restaurant we see a young couple facing the camera. The man is caucasian and she is Asian. She stands beside him as he sits on a restaurant chair. The chair is backwards, and his arms are folded on top of the chair's back. She has her right arm draped around his neck, as she holds her left hand out to display a brand new engagement ring. She is bending down and her head is next to his. They are very casual and both smiling. It looks like he might have just "popped the question!" This is the most wonderful day!

A group of 7 students (male and female) some wearing backpacks, others carrying books, stand together with their backs toward the camera looking at a wall-sized Afro-centric map of the world. One student is pointing out something in africa. Two students are talking to each other.
An indoor scene in at home. A Mom and Dad sit on the bed with their little girl, who is smiling. The mood is warm and secure. The little girl is about 10 years old. She's contented. Dad is about to tell a story.
In a small office 3 people sit at desks doing their work. There are 2 women and 1 man. The woman sitting closest to us has her back to us and we can see past her to her large computer monitor, where a professional leadership coach is on the screen showing a slide. "This guy will really be able to help me advance in my career!" is what the woman is thinking. Her coworkers have no clue that she's getting all this help. It's our secret!
Acts 1:6-11 JUB (6) ¶ Then those that were come together asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? (7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put under his authority only. (8) But ye shall receive the virtue of the Holy Spirit which shall come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (10) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, (11) who also said, Ye men of Galilee, what do ye stand gazing at up into heaven? This same Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
The scene is a rural mid-sized village in central Japan, sometime in the 19th or early 20th century. It's late afternoon, just before sunset, twilight, and the heat of the day has passed. This is Boy's Day, May 5th. Men and boys dressed in hakama, and women and girls in yukata and some in kimono are milling around in the street. Some are holding sparklers. Others are standing in groups talking proudly about the boys in their families. Prominently displayed above the buildings, on a high pole, about 20 "koi nobori" are flying in the evening breeze. "Koi nobori,” are large tubular kites made from silk and attached to high poles.  The kites are shaped something like a windsock, but are decorated as brightly colored koi fish, with the large end attached to the pole.  When the wind blows through the opening, decorated like the open mouth of the Koi, the fish looks like it is swimming, but not going anywhere. Boys are encouraged to look up and admire the fish on the pole for their strength and stamina. The scene is festive, but also very important.
An outdoor scene at home in the back yard. A white Dad and his African-American little girl (5) who is crying. Dad is calming her and making her feel secure.

In a restaurant we see a young couple facing the camera. She stands behind him as he sits on a restaurant chair. The chair is backwards, and his arms are folded on top of the chair's back. She has her arms around him with her hands in front of him. She is bending down and her head is next to his. A petite diamond ring graces the ring finger on her left hand. They are very casual and both smiling. It looks like he might have just "popped the question!" This is the most wonderful day!

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, while the tropical rain taps softly against the window, Wing Sun, Mother and Grandmother gather in the cozy living room. The room glows with the soft light of an oil lamp, and the walls are adorned with faded photographs and delicate calligraphy. Grandmother’s eyes sparkle as she begins to speak—a voice that carries both the wisdom of her years and the tender care of someone who’s seen many seasons change. Wing Sun is pensive with anticipation. What will she say?

Ji Wing Soon is a 12 year old Malaysian Chinese boy. This scene occurs at his home in Kuala Lumpur. Late that night, as Wing-Sun lay in his bed, he heard voices coming from his parents' room down the hall. He arose and opened his door quietly, then stepped into the hallway where he could hear their conversation. “Ah-Wai… I’ve been thinking about the path we're on. I’ve been reading the Bible again, like I did when I was younger. I remember the peace I felt back then. But now… everything feels so different. I believe we should honor your family, but things just don’t feel the same to me anymore.” Mei-Ling said softly but urgently. “Not this again, Ah-Ling. We’ve talked about this. Traditions are our foundation—our way of life. They’ve brought us good luck, success. Do you really want to upset things?” Hon-Wai said, a tone of impatience creeping into his voice.
This is a crazy scene. A tiny car, something like a Fiat Bambino careens down a mountain road with 4 people inside. 1 of them, the driver, is holding up the steering wheel, which is detached from its column. The people are comically frightened. The caption is "Hey, Who's Driving This Thing, Anyway?"
