| Falun Gong practitioners in Jinan, Shandong sent an electronic birthday card to Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, via Minghui.net for the 13th World Falun Dafa Day. (Clearwisdom.net) |
Having gone through almost six years of cruel persecution, Falun Gong practitioners in China still insist on the righteous belief of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." In recent days, Falun Gong practitioners in thousands of areas in China sent electronic birthday cards to Mr. Li Hongzhi via minghui.ca [the Chinese version of the Falun Gong website, Clearwisdom].
After six years of continuous and brutal persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Falun Gong has not only resiliently endured but it has spread to more than seventy countries, including the Asia-Pacific region, North America, South America, most countries in Europe, and some countries in Africa. This demonstrates the great attraction of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance."
Before Falun Dafa Day, on May 5th, the highest court in Hong Kong made a final judgement on the "case of obstructing a public place," that caused a major stir three years ago in Hong Kong and even around the world. The court dropped all charges against the Falun Gong practitioners. The decision successfully protected the Hong Kong people's basic human rights like freedom of speech and demonstration.

In South Korea, a Korean Falun Gong practitioner, Gao Chengnv, who had been imprisoned by the CCP for a year, was rescued from prison on May 13th through the help of people from all walks in Korean society. Gao Chengnv is the wife of Guo Binggao, a South Korean citizen. In the process of rescuing Gao, the people in South Korea gave much support. There were 230,000 South Korean citizens signing petitions to support the rescue, 24 members of Congress establishing a rescue team of members of the Congress, and 71 congresses and groups especially passed a resolution to rescue Gao. The main media in Korea also published tracking reports and actively supported the rescue campaign.
