At that time, it was the only Chinese NGO in Canada.

Wen Geng and Guangxi Education Project

Among the 132 poverty-stricken counties identified by the Chinese government, 49 of them belong to Guangxi. Therefore, Wen Geng started to launch the "basic education project" in 2002 to help the minority students in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region fulfill their dream of studying. Over the past 10 years, this project has received extensive support, and Wengeng has supported more than 5000 teachers and students in six counties of Guangxi (Ziyuan County, Longsheng County, Yangshuo County, Rongshui County, Gongcheng County and Wuxuan County). In 2006, Wengeng launched the "student financial aid project" to remove the economic barriers for children in poor mountainous areas and realize their dream of going to university.

Preaching style

Liang Yancheng's preaching is humorous and humorous. He often sings in his preaching, which breaks the solemn and stereotyped image of the public given by the preachers in the past and contributes to the development of Christianity in Hong Kong.

Character contribution

In order to promote the spread of Christianity in Hong Kong, Liang Yancheng made many innovative attempts. One of the most controversial is that in the 1990s, he tried to integrate Eastern meditation into spiritual practice, but failed. At that time, Chinese mainland's Yan Xin and Zhang Baosheng and others had a "special function" fever. With the help of newspapers and columnists such as Cai Lan and Wang Ting, Hongkong rolled up a Qigong fever. Because of the various good effects claimed by Qigong and meditation, Liang Yancheng hopes to try to integrate this practice into the spiritual cultivation of Christians, hoping to make the spiritual cultivation of believers more effective. He once wrote a book "meditation on the mysteries of the universe", but it is said that the effect is not obvious.

In 1988, Li Tianming wrote an article criticizing Liang Yancheng's "zhe Ke Xia Qing" in Ming Pao Monthly, and used it as a negative teaching material of his thinking method. As a result, Liang Yancheng counterattacked and published "on Li Tianming's" speculation and religion "in Ming Pao Monthly to respond to Li Tianming's criticism and satirize it. After that, Liang Yancheng once published an article "apology to Li Tianming" to apologize for what he thought was too poignant. However, some people think that it was Liang Yancheng's unfair counterattack. He set off a smoke screen and said that his article was "enough to silence the other party" and "can hurt the other party's heart". For detailed discussion, please refer to "the art of thinking of Li Tianming".

Later, reminded by other senior missionaries, he gave up Qigong and retired for a long time. After that, he traveled to Canada, Turkey and other places, and tried to find the unsolved cases in the Bible in history. Among them, he published the research work of Noah's Ark in Turkey in newspapers and several Christian journals, and verified the exact birth year of Jesus Christ from the special astronomical images in Chinese historical books.
