CHINA. Shanxi Province. 1996. Duan Yuxin, 82, has suffered from mental illness for more than 60 years. During spells of her illness her main symptom was to walk around the village day and night, loudly reciting Bible verses. From 1966 to 1976, the ten-year period when religion was prohibited, she was the only one who could openly recite Bible verses. Because she was a madwoman, the government was unable to make her stop. On many nights during the time of religious suppression, believers would lay in their beds silently reciting the verses along with her. Today she is loved and cared for by fellow believers as someone who made a contribution to the church.
