Remember GX: The Jing People

The Jing people are maritime people skilled in fishing and revere the ocean with gratitude. From June to August, they hold a large-scale festival called "Ha Festival" to commemorate the birth of the God of the Sea. Residing on the “Three Jing Islands” of Chaowei, Shanxin and Wutou in Dongxing prefecture, the Jing nationality is one of the 55 officially recognized ethnic minorities in China, with approximately 30,000 people. Originating from Vietnam, the Jing people mainly believe in Taoism, but 2.4% of them are Catholics.

 J said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

 May He make JC, the Truth, evident among the Jing people.
