Google, congratulate you on your return to the embrace of mercy of the Lord. Yes, we are here to congratulate you, rather than mourning. When the sun finally shining in Jerusalem tomb of your Lengji, we will meet your resurrection. Huh?

  Looks like the page is setup by a local Christian. It's observable phenomenon that all Christian Chinese favor Google more than any other search engines.

    Isn't the Christian/Catholic Church in China run by the Party?
    - riobard 17y ago
      Not all of them. I know some independent (possibly secretive) Christian churches. But those "official" ones are usually penetrated ...

      There are a large number of secret house churches in China. They are illegal though and hosting one or participating in one can land you in jail or worse. Doesn't stop them though so the author may be one of those.

  I've been trying to learn Chinese, and poking around Chinese websites with peraperakun occasionally. Every time I come across a WTF sentence like that, I wonder whether maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew.

    I guess poetic sentences are always hard to get right, if you don't really grow up in that culture, just like I have a lot of trouble with some essays in English. Well, if you keep learning, eventually you'll get there :)

  Basically that paragraph is praising Google's decision to stand against the Chinese government and pull out of China (thus "return to the mercy of the Lord"). And the author is really celebrating and congratulating here (instead of mourning its possible absence in China due to government restrictions). The last sentence is very poetic. I get the idea, but since I'm not Christian, I'm not so sure about the exact analogy. Anyway, the real meaning is that eventually freedom of speech will come to China, and at that time, we (the author and the Chinese people) will celebrate Google's return. P.S. I cried a little bit after the paragraph. I guess I'm moved. P.S. 2. Machine translating is never good at this kind of stuff... I'm native Chinese.
