In this astonishing collection of true-life tales, Theresa Marie Moreau eloquently and vividly brings to life, with gritty and evocative writing, the suffering - as well as the unwavering dedication and faith - of political prisoners under the Chinese Communist totalitarian regime.After years of exhaustive interviews with actual survivors who bravely shared their stories, Moreau depicts, in Misery & Virtue, a heartbreaking-yet-uplifting testament to the faith of those who endured inexplicable persecution in China's blood-soaked 20th century."Misery & Virtue," is a compilation of four stories:* "29 Years in Laogai" is the saga of Matthew Koo, who was arrested in 1955, while at the seminary in Shanghai where he was studying to become a Catholic priest. For 29 years, he suffered as a political prisoner in prisons and labor camps, but, eventually, he escaped and finally(!) was ordained a priest, in 1988, in the underground Church in China.* "The Handmaid" is a conversion story about Catherine Wang. As a girl, she innocently joined the Communist youth activities, until she realized the true intention of the Communists toward the Church. Eventually, in 1955, she was arrested for her faith. This piece won a Los Angeles Press Club Award.* "Love Story" is the true-life story of Joseph Ho and Catherine, two Catholics persecuted for their faith who found one another and married and eventually made it to freedom.* And "Tilanqiao" is about the life of one political prisoner in Tilanqiao, the infamous prison in Shanghai. But also, this story of Wenli Chen includes his eyewitness account of another prisoner: then-Bishop Pin-Mei "Ignatius" Kung, who suffered for 30 years in Tilanqiao because he refused to give up his faith.Read about the Church's modern-martyrs, those arrested, interrogated, tortured, executed for the faith.Theresa Marie Moreau is a reporter who focuses on the persecution of Catholics by the Communists in China.
