A thousand years ago, a group of people from the Jewish nation traveled long distances and endured countless hardships to settle in China's Central Plains. What was the fate of these Jews in China? What did China offer the Jews? What did the Jews bring to the Chinese? Two ancient and mysterious nations performed what kind of story on the vast Central Plains?
Around a thousand years ago, a group from this embarked on a long and arduous journey to China, arriving in the completely different Central Plains—a land of fertile plains rather than deserts and oases. They converged with another equally in Kaifeng. Let us cross the river of time, follow the rugged historical riverbed, and trace the enduring footprints of their generations. Let us relive the vicissitudes of the Kaifeng Jews over a thousand years and imagine the Eastern journey of the Jewish nation.
