It was December 10, 2018. As reported then by “Bitter Winter,” Qiuyu Qingcaodi Church (literal translation: Early Rain Green Pasture Church) in Deyang city in Sichuan province, was raided. Officials from the Public Security Bureau and Religious Affairs Bureau claimed that the church had privately set up a meeting place in violation of the law. The officials ordered believers to leave the building, prohibited them from holding any religious activities there, and posted a notice of closure on the door.
On December 12, two days later, the church was raided again by the authorities. At the time, nine police officers stormed into the meeting venue and dispersed more than a dozen believers who were holding a gathering.
On the afternoon of December 13, under intense pressure from the police, the landlord of the meeting venue locked the door to the church.
