The second half includes in-person Easter and Christmas celebrations, the publication of the Gan Yi-Chinese Parallel Bible, the sinicization of Christianity campaign, and persecution. 

These stories include the regulations governing religious activity venues, books on history, interviews with Christian leaders who are concerned about China, Christian testimonies, and online religious content. 

On the occasion of 2023 Bible Day, the parallel Bible which has been translated into Gan Yi, one of China's minority languages, was launched. 

The "Outline of the Five-Year Work Plan for Deeply Advancing the Sinicization of Christianity (2023-2027)" was launched during the 11th National Congress of Chinese Christianity.

To mark the "World AIDS Day," a Christian volunteer team in Jiangxi carried out a 10-day series of publicity activities.
