Ho Bai Chi translates as Ho the idiot. Ho is a Chinese peasant who has the only plot of land that is productive in his region of China. He does carpentry work for the Catholic Church and the Jewish Synagogue. Everyone has considered him stupid since he was a small boy. Of course, he is anything but and rises above them in his intelligence and moral bearings. When an infant girl is left on his doorstep on a cold snowy winter’s night it is up to Ho to save the child and himself.
