Pilgrim's Progress Part One

About the Book

This is a view from heaven onto the world where the artist was born and grew up. His country was a very beautiful land with green forests, crystal clear rivers, and colorful inhabitants. However, the beautiful atmosphere was spoiled by internal conflicts among the ruling government and minority armed groups who sought better autonomy rights and freedoms. The artist’s cousin was beheaded by a rebel group. A neighbor who obeyed the government was arrested by armed men and was forced to carry his bicycle on his back through the mountains for several days. When he reached their jungle stronghold, he was tortured for nearly two months. A Lisu man was tied up in a rice-sack and hung up upside down in a tree somewhere in the jade-land by soldiers, and they watered him until he suffocated and died. A soldier opened fire at a village meeting and killed several Lisu men in Manhkring village. Scars given by them are uncountable, and every scar has a sad story to tell. This illustration depicts a scene of segregation, sufferings, persecutions, torture, and death in a land where Satan’s dominant is real. The armies who are now enjoying a time of greed do not know that the judgment is approaching, that God has his axe ready.
