Stone Gateway, a tiny forbidden corner among the mountains of South-West China, has gathered a group of pious Miao Christians up to now. Before 1904, without their script and land, the Miao were treated as slaves under the control of Nosu landlords. For hundreds of years, they were condemned as a useless race by others and lived in ‘The Slough of Despond’. This was until Samuel Pollard and ensuing British missionaries brought the Miao script (the Pollard Script) and Christianity to the Miao people. Christianity dispersed fears in their minds and removed some bad habits. Banquets arranged by churches replaced alcohol misuse, the worship of the masses replaced festival orgies and martial age was standardised. The Miao people began to embrace education, listening to sermons and singing hymns. After all these years, the Miao still live and stick to the faith in poor and hard circumstances. Christianity, to some extent, helps them find peace in their heart and spread love to others.
