Zhou Haos father was criticized and beaten during the Cultural Revolution Though he was born with a congenital intellectual disability Zhou Haos parents loved him very much and created a unique world with his unique talent for imitation Since he was a child Zhou Hao attended church with his grandmother so he was able to recite passages from the bible despite never having been to school Because he tries to persuade people to love each other everyone calls him Little Angel Now he is more than 30 years old In rural house churches where many people are illiterate Zhou Hao has become their preacher In this film the camera observes the adult child situating his behavior in the context of a real society lacking love and faith The story captures the concrete influence of the old political madness on an ordinary couple however it is this child who still retains innocence and fantasy reflecting the spiritual deficiencies and the absurdity of secular society
