"China Cry' boldly discusses the Chinese communist government's persecution of Christians. Mao Tse Tung killed hundreds of thousands of them - it's no joke. Nora Lam boldly fought for free speech and OK, she believed in God - so flame her.
After the defeat of the Japanese, Sung Neng Yee joins the Communists, believing they are the liberators of her beloved China. All goes well with her university studies to become a lawyer until she falls in love with Lam Cheng Shen, who comes from Hong Kong.

China Cry. Julia Nickson (then billed as Julia Nickson-Soul) stars as Nora Lamm, whose childhood was rent asunder when the Japanese invaded Shanghai at the outset of World War II.
Review by Dave Courtney ★★★ I totally get why certain viewers would be over the moon for this film. It's sentimental, spiritual (there is a definite Christian focus here), inspiring, and emerges from the pages of a real life, tragic backdrop.
