Presentation in Norwegian by NMS: Trofaste Yuan Tai Vi får noen små glimt fra misjonærenes liv før "bambusteppet" går ned. Misjonærene må være vitne til at alt det de har strevet for blir feid vekk med hård hånd. Men arbeidet har ikke vært forgjeves. Det viser Yuan Tai som setter livet inn for sin tro. Filmen minner oss om noe vi aldri må glemme; de kristne bak bambusteppet, og alle hedninger i Østen og overalt ellers i verden!

Description in Norwegian in a catalogue from NMS Filmsentral: "Denne filmen behandler flyktningeproblemet i Hong Kong. En flyktning leter etter en adresse. Han finner omsider frem, men blir ikke sluppet inn av datteren i huset. Heldigvis kommer faren hjem og ser hvem flyktningen er, og slipper ham inn. Den fine borgermesteren fra Kina, driver nå som tøyhandler i Hong Kong. Han hjelper flyktningen. Samtidig irettesetter han datteren og minner henne om at hennes bror ble holdt igjen i Kina. "Hvilket problem er størst, spør han, å ha en sønn i ufrihet, og som man ikke vet noe om, eller dette å ha en datter her i friheten som ikke har medlidenhet med flyktningene?" Filmen viser oss de vansker Misjonen strir med i Østen. Flyktningeproblemet i Hong Kong kan like gjerne være et annet sted. I Afrika, i India eller overalt i verden hvor det er ufrihet og ulikhet. Flyktningene ringer ved din dør!"
