The Calf

I really don't see the connection. OK, so the nickname of high school classmate Agustín Villacorta was "Becerro" which means a calf or bullock. Interestingly, Nora Lam, not spelled with a 'b' at the end, was a Christian Chinese woman who made quite a splash with her autobiographical books that were said to border on fictional in terms of representing reality even though marketed as non-fiction. I vaguely remember seeing her face on TV but know absolutely nothing about her, never read any of her books and have no clue about any connections there. I remember Sue Olin talking about Nora Lam but I didn't really know what she was talking about. Anyway, Christianity in China is really not dependent on the legacy of Nora Lam, who has now been dead for quite a few years now anyway, and anyway Christianity will always have its place in China regardless of the fate of Nora Lam's legacy because it doesn't come from her. I have no idea who those people are. I personally have no knowledge of the Hong Kong missionaries of later years, the Paul Kauffmans and the Back to Jerusalem people, and why they placed so much emphasis on that. Anyway I wasn't paying attention to China. I am not fond of the color red and that is about all they have in China, mostly just garish red. I am only interested in learning more about China to the extent that my great-grandparents were there in the 1910s and 1920s and learning more about their experience, knowledge of which is hard to come by as no one seems to know very much about that. Anyway, there are plenty of other places for ministry other than China, where one would have to tolerate the abusive hatred and scorn that Chinese people routinely heap on foreigners, whom, it is well known, they dismiss in their insulting way as 'foreign devils.' These are the burdens that missionaries have to bear when taking the gospel message to these foreign lands full of wicked liars, the Chinese and the Italian alike, who have not surrendered their lives to Christ and are only pushing their political agenda for personal profit.
