It is place in the s based on the true story of Sung Neng Yee (played by Julia Nickson-Soul), and also stars Russell Wong.
All All. Sign In. Director James F. See performance info at IMDbPro.Born into a wealthy Chinese family, Nora is first eager to turn into part of Mao Zedong's "new society". But the Maoist regime brings hardship and misery to her family. She is arrested by authorities, and she believes that only the Lord Jesus Christ must have saved her when she miraculously survives a firing squad whilst being condemned as a Committed Christian from a Christian Intellectual family (by a Northern Chinese State Security Woman Officer- after she urges her to kiss the Red Flag).
She is then taken to a labour camp while pregnant, but once again, survives to take her children and family to freedom, which is finally granted after she sends (from the Labour Camp in Shanghai) three copies of the same telegram: one to Chairman Mao; and the other two to Prime Minister Chu & Beijing Police Headquarters.
"China Cry" is Worthy of an Encore Viewing - Christian Film Blog: Sung Neng Yee, now recognizable as Nora Lam, claimed spousal abuse, divorced her husband, and was remarried to S. K. Sung, an elder at the church. Lam's life in Hong Kong has been the subject of intense scrutiny and controversy, especially in light of an investigation conducted in the s by California attorney John Stewart.The film was directed by James F. Collier (who also directed The Hiding Place and Joni), and is an example of positive Asian characters in a Christian-themed film.
The film's theme song "No One But You" is performed by Irene Cara.
