In 1889, the Italian immigrant Francesca Cabrini set foot on New York's land, and she was greeted not by the freedom and hope in her dreams, but by the air of disease, rampant crimes, and children struggling to survive in poverty.Faced with the devastated reality, Cabrini resolutely embarked on a challenging journey - she had to face the indifferent and hostile mayor and strive for shelter and medical insurance for the most helpless people in society.
Despite her awkward English and weak body, she ignited the light of hope in despair with a tenacious heart and extraordinary entrepreneurial wisdom.She gradually established a "Empire of Hope" full of benevolence and strength. Its light not only illuminated the dark corners of that era, but also forever changed the world's understanding of charity and human care.
