"The Cross - Jesus in China" consists of three episodes and one short subject. Its entire length is about four hours.

The first episode "The Spring of Life" recounts the real life and the inner world of the Christians from a broad spectrum of backgrounds in modern China. Included are testimonies from farmers, students, officials, criminals, orphans, actors, writers, scientists, and entrepreneurs.

The second episode "Seeds of Blood" follows the bloody footprints of the Chinese missionaries of the older generation after the Boxer Rebellion, particularly in the past fifty years. The stories of famous ministers such as Mingdao Wang, John Sung, Watchman Nee, Allen Yuan, Samuel Lamb, Moses Xie, Yang Xinfei, and Epaphras are covered.

The third episode "The Bitter Cup" abounds with compelling testimonies by missionaries of the younger generation after the Cultural Revolution. Their dedication, suffering, faithfulness, and thanksgiving have led to an unprecedented revival of the Chinese Christian church.

The documentary short subject "The Canaan Hymns" tells the amazing story of a farm girl Xiao Min. She is a high school dropout with no musical training. Nevertheless, she created nearly a thousand wonderful hymns by the power of the Holy Spirit. These hymns are widely spread among Chinese churches around the world.

The filmmakers and crewmembers are a group of devout Christians. Courageous and persistent, they went deep into China, interviewed hundreds of churches and thousands of Christians. There were times when they were under hidden surveillance, and other times when they were openly followed. On one occasion their cameras were confiscated. However, due to their devotion and self-denial, they were able to reach the foundation of the underground churches in China to obtain the true stories and know the hearts and minds of Chinese Christians. They shot nearly five hundred hours of footage, from which four hours were chosen to form the final version of the film.
