About Book
About Book
Taiwanese people are mostly aware of Reverend Chu Yiu-ming through his membership in the "Occupy Central Three." However, prior to that, he had already devoted decades to public service, humanitarian aid, and the democratization movement in Hong Kong.
How did a priest who served God become such a pivotal figure in Hong Kong's democratization movement? What role did he play in these processes? This memoir reveals how a poor orphan embarked on a journey of faith, caring for the people and establishing a church in difficult circumstances. He also upheld the Christian conviction to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God," transcending the congregational boundaries, always speaking out on behalf of the underprivileged, even at the risk of breaking the law to fulfill his convictions.
A pastor who has dedicated most of his life to fighting for people's livelihoods and democracy, taking one more step, and then another, for his beliefs, has unexpectedly walked from the church pulpit to the dock in court. This is not just the story of a Hong Konger, but a profile of an era.
