After so many years of a life of foster care, young Wenya felt lonely and helpless, and longed for the warmth of a home.

After Li Cheng'en accepts Almighty God's work of the last days, he hurries about preaching the gospel everywhere, gaining quite a few people. But then Li begins to exalt and showcase himself; just when he's feeling smug and self-satisfied, the newcomers he gained are misled and disturbed by a pastor, and Li is beaten by religious leaders and nearly freezes to death in the snow. He realizes that this is God's discipline and pruning coming upon him.

After many years of experience, Li Cheng'en deeply understands that being able to welcome the Lord amid the great catastrophes, to experience God's judgment and cleansing while doing his duty, and to walk the path of salvation is God's immense grace and blessing to him …
