  • Letter from a Spanish Lawyer to the Chinese Judiciary and Forced Labour Camps Appealing to Stop the Jiang Regime's Genocide

    "Out of respect and love for the Chinese people, plus to protect human rights, I cannot remain silent when confronting this brutal and illegal persecution. Human rights is the basic value of human kind, the human rights of everyone should be protected no matter where it is. As a human being, I should offer my help to people who have been persecuted for five years. Therefore, as a lawyer, I have filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and Jia Qinglin in Spain. They are accused of committing genocide and torture."
  • Grumbles from China Central Television Employees

    "...What's the disagreement? The regime is fighting with the public. Furthermore, Falun Gong practitioners are all good people, and it's very hard to find them doing anything bad. You're forcing us to a fake program to denigrate Falun Gong, to frame Falun Gong by claiming they kill people? How can we do that kind of thing? We have no choice but to scrape it together! What is being broadcast are all fake films anyway. This will be just another failed political movement at the whim of Party elite. Those who suffer will all be common people!"
  • The After Effects of My Concussion Went Away

    One day in mid-March of 1997, I had the most unforgettable day of my life. I met a friend on the street, and she asked me to go to practice Falun Gong. I didn't think much of it and went with her. At that time I knew nothing about the practice, I just followed the movements. Then, after a few days I suddenly had a big appetite. I ate three bowls of rice in one meal, whereas before I could only eat a small clump of rice due to the gastritis for the past decades. Without noticing, all the uncomfortable symptoms I had in the past disappeared completely.
  • Weathering the Storm, Chapter 1 of Part One

    Their unanimous verdict was that intracranial artery aneurysm is a rare and difficult disease to treat and the international medical community has yet to develop an effective cure for this disease. But after practising Falun Gong for just two months, my intracranial artery aneurysm miraculously disappeared. I experienced the joy of being completely healthy for the first time in my life. On July 20th, 1999, the regime of the former Chinese President Jiang Zemin violated the Constitution of the People's Republic of China and started a ruthless persecution against Falun Gong and its practitioners
  • An Inmate Asks Me to Teach His Child How to Behave

    With tears in their eyes, several inmates were very emotional and told me that if they had known Falun Gong and its teachings were about how to be a good person, they wouldn't have committed their crimes or ended up so badly. Each person involved in beating me up under police instructions came to apologise and asked me to forgive him for his wrongdoing under police pressure.
  • The "6-10 Office" and "Anti-Terrorism"

    Over the past five years, the "6-10 Office" has been directly responsible for the abductions, detentions, brutal torture, and deaths of numerous Falun Gong practitioners. People call it the most powerful agency in China, just like the Gestapo during World War II. Knowing that the "6-10 Office," the largest terrorist organisation in over 5,000 years of China's history, is taking a role in "anti-terrorism" is enough to make one's blood run cold.
  • Practising Falun Dafa with Determination Restores My Eyesight after Severe Accident

    After I recovered, I immediately returned to the coalmine. The head of the mine, as well as those who knew what had happened, were all shocked to see me, "Have you really recovered?" The boss was still not convinced: "Come, walk around and let us have a look." I walked around naturally and showed them. The boss was stunned. With thumbs up he said, "Falun Dafa is good! Your Teacher is really extraordinary!"
  • Former Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin and his Faction Forces Government Agencies to Persecute Falun Gong

    Jiang manipulated the nation's propaganda to defame and spread hatred towards Falun Gong to achieve the vicious goal of deceiving all Chinese people into being against Falun Gong. At the same time, Jiang issued orders secretly at every level to force each governmental department to persecute Falun Gong. Furthermore, he issued the order to the police that "[practitioners] beaten to death will be counted as suicides."
  • State Terrorism Distorts Human Nature

    Living under the crush of spiritual and psychological terror for so long, people's minds have been seriously distorted. The negative psychological factors like fear, distrust, suspicion, and hatred have caused people to lose their ability to think rationally and have exhausted their courage to protect their basic human rights and dignity. Furthermore, the dark side of human nature expands rapidly, resulting in violence. The huge psychological pressure created by the state terrorism is what led Yang Lirong's husband to lose his mind and murder his wife.
  • Falun Dafa Made Me a Better Teacher

    Our supervisor said, "You completely understand the new concepts in education reform and carry them through your teaching practice. You are an excellent teacher." As a matter of fact, this change has come about solely through my practice of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." In the process of my practising Falun Dafa, I have become more and more reasonable and clear-minded and I am able to see the essential parts of the problems with greater clarity. Therefore my class teaching keeps improving, which looked and sounded "new" to others.
  • Interviewing Dai Zhizhen in Front of the Liberty Bell (Part 2)

    I couldn’t get a visa to China to say goodbye to her, and I was heartbroken. They used this method to punish me for speaking up. My daughter asked me, “Why can’t we go back to China to see Grandma?” I replied, “Because we cannot get a visa.” She asked, “Why can’t we get a visa?” I said, “Because we practise Falun Gong.” She said, “Why is that we can’t get a visa because we practise Falun Gong?” I wept. I didn’t know how to explain it to her. This was the most painful thing for me.

  • How Hatred Has Entered One Home

    But before I could even finish my sentence, his countenance suddenly changed and his enmity instantly appeared. I asked in despair, "Why would you rather believe in the Communists, who murdered your father, than in your own daughter?" He made a rather outrageous statement, “I have never believed in the Communists, but this is a different matter!" Why is it not the same? Can a wolf that feeds on sheep change to feed on grass?
  • Interview with Falun Gong Practitioner Dai Zhizhen in Front of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (Part 1)

    All my family members practise Falun Gong, and we believe in the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Because of that belief, my husband was persecuted to death. Nowadays, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in China are suffering from the same persecution and hardship that my family has experienced. The reason why my daughter and I are able to survive is because we hold Australian passports.
  • Practicing Falun Gong Cures a Ladies Incapacitating Seven-Year Illness, Which She is then Persecuted for

    In Heilongjiang Province, when Liu Wenjun's name is mentioned, many people know about her. Her experiences, and the miraculous things that happened to her have helped lead many people to step onto the path of cultivation of Falun Dafa. After the persecution against those who practise Falun Dafa began in July of 1999, because Ms. Liu related her personal experiences and spoke out to support of Dafa, she was repeatedly arrested and tortured by the authorities. The following is her story:
