The Chinese Communist Party’s restrictive, anti-Christian behavior is well-documented, putting Chinese believers at great risk of danger and persecution.

That’s why a famous singer’s decision to embrace her faith so openly is captivating people around the globe. G.E.M. (Deng Ziqi) is a popular performer whose star rose after joining a 2014 Chinese singing competition called “I Am a Singer 2,” according to Movieguide.

Deng’s career immediately took off, skyrocketing her to fame and landing her with the nickname: “China’s Taylor Swift.”

That’s what makes her overt Christian faith so fascinating and compelling. The 31-year-old singer is so open about her beliefs she recently released a 14-song album, “Revelation.”

Deng is also known for sharing her Christian faith on social media.

In light of all that’s known about persecution in China, Deng’s faith-themed music is making international headlines, with Christianity Today calling her latest song, “Gloria,” “courageous.”

The song’s title is based on the English name the singer’s father once gave her.  

As for the album itself, Aleteia reported it “tells a longer story of a conversation with God.” Her latest music was reportedly inspired by 1 John 8:14, which reads, “There is no fear in love.”

“In this world where love is badly needed, I trust what I can do is to try my best to create works that make people once again see the love, believe in love, and return to love,” Deng told China Christian Daily. “So it doesn’t matter how many setbacks there are on the way, as long as I can finish them.”
