  • An Overview of Recent Lawsuits and a Look at the Consequences of Contributing to the Persecution of Falun Gong

    Many successful high-ranking governmental officials have not paid enough attention to the Falun Gong issue, have failed to think independently, or have blindly believed Jiang's fabrications. They are deceived by the government-controlled propaganda. In fact, they are trapped by Jiang and his regime, have stopped thinking for themselves, and have passively followed or even actively helped contribute to the persecution in order to gain favour with higher officials and advance their own careers, thereby planting the seeds for punishment in the future.
  • Falun Gong Practitioner Talks About Falun Gong to His Supervisor who Then Resists the Persecution

    My supervisor then said to me, "You have clarified to the [Communist] Party that the practice of Falun Gong has no political aspirations, nor is it harming society or anyone, but instead helps you to become better people. Furthermore, you have been working hard with no complaints, and do not care about personal loss. Why should a good person such as yourself have to write a letter to forsake the practice? Let alone being fired... we will work on trying to keep you."
  • My Liver Problems, Coronary Disease, Blood Diseases, and Rheumatoid Arthritis Miraculously Disappeared

    I did a good spring clean at home and I organised my home inside and out. It was really clean and organised. I delivered and picked up our child, did the grocery shopping, and cooked the meals. My husband saw this and was scared. He kept insisting that I take it easy so as to not get too tired. My neighbours were also very surprised. They had never seen me so active. I now experienced a what it was like to have body without any illness, and I found the true meaning of life.
  • Spectator Writes to Newspaper Criticising Media for Turning a Blind Eye to the Persecution

    "I am surprised that I haven't heard more reports about a U.S. congressional resolution (H Con Res 304 with 74 co-sponsors) urging the Chinese government to stop harassing and intimidating people who practice Falun Gong right here in the United States! Chinese, who come here to avoid persecution in China, have been subject to Chinese government surveillance, death threats, break-ins to their homes, and even a car was set on fire."
  • Comments on the Banning of Overseas Satellite Television From the Chinese People

  • Debunking the "1400 Deaths" Claim Used by Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin and his Regime to Defame Falun Gong

    At least at the beginning of their practise, their purpose was to keep fit or to treat illnesses. Therefore, even if all the 1400 cases were real (which means 200 deaths a year), the death rate is only one ten thousandth, which is much lower than the normal death rate of the Chinese people.
  • A Professor from China Credits Falun Dafa for His Rapid Recovery from Surgery

    I could hear clearly what the doctors were saying. They said that the operation was smooth and successful. What even surprised the doctors is that I am recovering especially fast, and even broke the hospital's record for the fastest recovery. The doctors recorded my entire health history and wanted to investigate further. I don't think they will learn anything from that. I know that the essential key is because I believed, 'Falun Dafa is great'."
  • Denmark: Testimony - A Sixteen Year Old Boy Forced into Exile After his Parents are Persecuted to Death Because of their Belief in Falun Gong

    Among Danish Falun Gong practitioners there is a new practitioner named Liu Xiaotian who has just begun his cultivation. His parents were persecuted to death because they were Falun Gong practitioners in China. At the time he was only sixteen years old. The mental trauma he suffered prevented Xiaotian from expressing himself fluently. It has taken Danish Falun Gong practitioners one year to fully understand the whole event, his pain and suffering.
  • Five Years of Persecuting Falun Gong Has Only Brought the Chinese Communist Party More Problems

    On the 20th of July, 1999, under Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin's instruction, the Chinese Party (CCP) began to suppress Falun Gong publicly. At that time they thought that Falun Gong could be eradicated within one month. Contrary to their expectations, five full years have now passed. During this time, tens of thousands of people who practise Falun Gong have been sentenced to imprisonment and sent to forced labour camps where they were brutally tortured, and some have died as a result. However, those who practice Falun Gong have not yielded to the despotic power of the CCP.
  • Elderly Falun Gong Practitioner from Taiwan Appears Twenty Years Younger

    Once, two students seeing Mrs. Lai read without her glasses became curious and asked her, "How old are you? How do you read without glasses?" Their mother was in her 50's yet she couldn't read without her glasses. Mrs. Lai said, "I am in my 70's." The students were speechless because Mrs. Lai looked like she was only 50. Mrs. Lai continued, "I practice Falun Gong, so my sight gets clearer the more I read this book." The two students immediately bought a copy of Zhuan Falun from a bookstore, and later came to the park to practice the Falun Gong exercises.
  • A Letter from a Falun Gong Practitioner to Friends and Family on the Eve of July 20, Remembering the Darkest Day in History Five Years Ago

    I have put my heart into writing you this letter today on the eve of the 20th of July, which is the day when five years ago former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin initiated the most brutal suppression of the spiritual practice of Falun Dafa, which is what I practice. It is my wish to share with you what is in my heart every moment of every day. That is: Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.
  • After Observing the Proper Treatment for a Real Burn Victim, I Realised the Self-Immolation in Tiananmen Square Was Fabricated

    My acquaintance also told me, "When I was burned, I experienced extreme pain. I knelt down on the floor and couldn't stand up. After arriving at the hospital, I was given an injection to relieve the pain. It's hard to believe that the alleged victim of the Tiananmen Square immolation, Wang Jiangtong, who was supposed to have been terribly burned, could just sit there calmly and enthusiastically give a prepared speech."
  • A Friend Asks a Falun Gong Practitioner, "Where Do You Get The Money From" to Produce Such Materials?

    A friend of mine asked me, "You (Falun Gong practitioners) have been giving us free VCD's and other types of materials that obviously cost a lot of money to produce. Where do you get the money from?" I said, "I have been saving up from my grocery expenses." His eyes widened in amazement. "You must have been distributing such materials for more than four years. Does all the money come from cutting down on your grocery budget?"
  • My Aunt's Surprising Change

    In this way, my aunt stepped onto the path of cultivation. Later, she was stopped by her in-law, and received a good scolding. She only smiled without retaliating. Her relative was shocked. Formerly when she bought vegetables, she would tear away the leaves down to the core. Now she never does that. She also never adds more vegetables after paying or steals a little bit when others aren't looking. A proverb says: The leopard never changes its spots. However, Falun Dafa can easily change the most odious part of human nature, and purify polluted hearts.
