Chinese Evangelical Asylum Seekers

Chinese evangelical asylum seekers hurtle from persecution's grip into White House sanctuary on Thanksgiving morning, their discreet slip resolving a refugee standoff through President Bartlet's clandestine mercy. Amid children's soaring songs and a proclamation pulsing with national gratitude, relief washes over them as staff disperses into holiday triumph. Vulnerable faithful, they anchor humanitarian resolve against diplomatic fury, their shadowed entry crystallizing Bartlet's leadership in compassion's tense forge—persecuted believers granted quiet reprieve that elevates moral unity over retaliatory strain.
