  • A Story of a Heavy Coat in Weifang City, Shandong Province in China

    I put on the coat and felt so warm. It was a feeling that came from the depth of my heart; a warmth that was so welcome in this dismal, cold and dark-hearted detention centre. Dafa was with me, which made my heart feel at ease. I know the truth about Falun Gong, which former Chinese President Jiang Zemin and his regime have been trying to damage and have been constantly slandering. It was encouraging to see acting righteously towards Falun Gong.

  • There Should be Equal Protection by Law for Falun Gong Practitioners in China

    It is a basic human right that the every person should enjoy equal protection under the law. The Chinese government should equally protect Falun Gong practitioners, who are also Chinese citizens, because this is the government's responsibility. Furthermore, it is stipulated in the Chinese Constitution that "The state respects and protects human rights." The anti-Falun Gong movement violates "equality before the law" and it must be stopped.
  • Is It True that the Weak Cannot Prevail over the Strong?

However, Li Siying was wrapped with gauze when she was interviewed by the reporter. This doctor stated clearly, "This is no doubt faked. It's apparent the authorities were making up things to frame Falun Gong."
  • Please be Responsible for Your Conduct

    Falun Gong practitioners never oppose the Chinese government, and have never violated any of China's laws. In fact, many people within the Chinese government oppose the suppression of Falun Gong, many of those people have family members who are Falun Gong practitioners. You may have noticed on Falun Gong websites articles that fully reflects the situations of Falun Gong practitioners, all references to "The Chinese government's suppression of Falun Gong" try to make it clear that it is not China that opposes Falun Gong, but Jiang Zemin and the "610 Office."

    I had tried almost everything, from Western medicine to Traditional Chinese medicine, and various Qigong masters to local folk medicine practitioners, but all had failed to cure my illness. Because of those experiences, I was sceptical that a book and tape of exercises could help me. However, after giving the matter a second thought I decided to try it out since my friend had travelled thousands of miles to bring me this book. I was really very moved by her concern so I thought I should have some consideration for her feelings. Therefore I said to her that I would read the book and then return it to her.
