China is not really a religious country, the same as my family. So, I hadn’t realized that spiritual faith exists in someone’s heart before I studied in the university. I never knew, never thought about it. When I was studying in the university, my major was English, and my teacher taught me a lot of English literature from novels. From then on, I knew there was something known as ‘faith’ in someone’s heart. And from those moments, I realized that faith could support you and give you some power and strength. I became interested in talking with those people about religion. And then I wondered about how I could do it. How could I become a Christian or have my own faith? In the fourth year of university, I was thinking about this problem more than before. 

I talked to one guy from Saudi Arabia who was Muslim. He told me about his faith and how it helped him in his life. And I thought it was very touching; unbelievable, actually. I didn’t know if I could believe that faith supported him so much in his life. I kept thinking deeply about it. When I joined my company, I met Emily. She told me more about the Christian faith, more about religions. 

Actually, I believe there is God around us; around the world, to watch us, to help us. But even ‘til now, I don’t know how I can become a Christian. I believe there is a God. I believe He creates the world. He controls the world but how can I become a real Christian? So, this is still a problem I am struggling with internally.
