When night fell, another service began at the Mu'en Church. Meanwhile, the Bund was ablaze with lights. Colorful neon lamps were glimmering along the Nanjing Road, the busiest commercial street in Shanghai, which separates the Mu'en Church from the Bund. In recent years, changes are taking place in Shanghai and also around the church. Scaffolds are common sight.
New buildings stand straight row upon row.
However, the Mu'en church is an exception. It retains its old, primitive, yet solemn outlook. Modern Protestants come in and out of the church like their predecessors, listening to and spreading Christian maxims.
