Revealing the Truth of the Tiananmen "Self-Immolation" Incident from My Personal Experience
2003-11-09
Yang Hua was arrested again by policemen at Qianmen. She was sent back to our local detention center on Jan 20, 2001 and detained in the same prison with me. Once in the prison she said: "I heard some policemen from the Beijing Police Department say 'A group of Falun Gong practitioners will set themselves on fire on New Years Eve.' Another policeman immediately spoke with a meaningful glance: 'It hasn't happened yet. Don't talk about it.'" Obviously the first policeman unintentionally divulged a secret. -
Bearing Witness to History: Experiencing July 20, 1999
2003-11-09On July 19, 1999, police arrested the people in charge of the original Falun Dafa Association in all areas of China concurrently. Facing this persecution, and with trust in the central government, on July 20, we appealed at the Appeals Office of the central government and State Council to express our desire to have these people released. At that time, the situation was very grave. We didn't know the consequences for appealing in person, but honor permitted no turning back. We stepped forward in order to let people know the truth. We wanted to verify that Falun Dafa is good with our own personal actions. -
The Reflections of a Prison Supervisory Section Chief
2003-11-08In the beginning, I too was supportive of the warden's objectives. I believed that those people should be punished because they were anti-government. Later, however, after a period of observing and coming to understand them, I found that Falun Gong practitioners were a special group of people. While chatting together, we police officers generally agreed that these were good people in every aspect except that they refused to admit they were anti-government dissidents. Why wouldn't they admit to being dissidents? I thought I should research this question... -
An Overseas Chinese Comments: "I Feel Relieved When I Hire Falun Gong Practitioners"
2003-11-08A while ago, in order to help a fellow practitioner find a job, I called an acquaintance of mine who worked in a travel agency and asked her: "When you are very busy, would it be possible to hire my friend to help?" I also told her that my friend is a Falun Gong practitioner and that she never did things that cheated people or were dishonest. My acquaintance said: "Ok, no problem. I would love to hire your friends who are Falun Gong practitioners. It makes me feel relieved to hire your Falun Gong practitioner friends. You guys do not do any crooked dealings regarding money or the accounts." -
Without the Jiang Regime's Persecution, There Would Not Be Any Need to Tap Into Television Broadcasts in China
2003-11-07Falun Gong practitioners follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." In the past four years of persecution, many overseas Falun Gong practitioners have stepped forward to clarify the truth and appeal for Falun Gong, displaying a quiet yet powerful inner strength in their persistent efforts. In a normal environment, we believe that appealing through legal channels and face-to-face discussions are the right way to resolve matters, not tapping into television networks. However, we cannot pass judgment on the act of tapping into television broadcasts without examining the overriding situation in China. -
Bearing Witness to History: April 25, 1999 -- The Appeal to the State Council Appeals Office in Beijing
2003-11-07Some of them were Beijing residents, while others came from outside Beijing. They were of different ages, profession, and academic background. The majority had not met before, yet, they shared a common bond: They cultivated in Falun Dafa and came to visit the State Council Appeals Office. Their hearts were pure and kind. They only wanted to explain to the Chinese Central Government the truth about Falun Dafa. They wanted to tell their personal experiences and how they benefited from cultivating Falun Dafa. It was a display of the trust and hope they had in their government. -
Jiang Zemin's Persecution of Falun Gong is a Persecution of the Human Conscience
2003-11-01Jiang advocates the motto "shut your mouth and get rich." He invites chief editors, editors and journalists of overseas media to visit China and win them over with investment deals. These media who are known for bold reporting and reports on scandals gave very limited coverage on this historically unprecedented persecution. For overseas Chinese media, the villainous group buys, invests or sends people to work for these media, so they gradually became overseas spokesmen for Jiang's villainous group. -
People in China: "We Know that People Who Practise Falun Gong Are Good"
2003-10-26One day I went to the market to buy some food. I told the salesperson, "You can give me the smaller ones." He looked at me strangely and asked, "Everyone always chooses food that is larger, why do you want to buy the smaller ones?" I said to him, "There are people in my home who practise Falun Dafa, and they tell me that I should think of others always, and be a good person." To my surprise, he replied immediately, "We all know that Falun Gong is good." -
Commentary: Jiang Zemin Ranks Among The Most Despicable Murderers in History
2003-10-26Some people may say that it is true that Jiang is wrong in persecuting Falun Gong, but that overall, China's economy has been developing fast during Jiang's tenure. Not only people's lives benefited, but China's overall power has also increased significantly. So they say that after comparing these things, Jiang's successes have outweighed the loss. This is fundamentally wrong. People need to know that with the economic growth, the difference between the rich and poor, as well as the level of unfairness in Chinese society has gone to extremes. -
Why is the Evil Regime so Afraid of Zhang Cuiying's Painting Exhibition?
2003-10-20Zhang Cuiying’s art exhibition has long promoted the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance”, as well as exposing the evil nature of Jiang’s dictatorship. As a result, she has become a thorn in the side of the evil regime that persecutes Falun Gong. Her story has become more and more well-known by people, and the Jiang regime’s suppression has been condemned by more and more people as well. During this time she has also been continuously monitored and interfered with by the Chinese embassies. -
Some Thoughts on the Nature of Jiang's Persecution
2003-10-19After he got into power, Jiang tightened the dictatorship created by Mao, made use of the reforms created by Deng and stabilized his position. He assigned his son Jiang Mianheng, who had no experience, as the deputy dean of the China Academy of Science, and provided him with government loans to run his international business. He brought serious corruption to the government, and created a huge gap between the rich and poor. The society is becoming more and more unstable with the crime rate climbing. -
Commentary: Falun Gong Brings Hope for Our Nation
2003-10-19"I am touched to see so many Falun Gong practitioners under the sunshine here ... There are so many good Chinese people practicing Falun Gong outside China. Cultivation practice is a very good thing, though it is not easy to do. I feel sorry that so many Chinese people cannot practice openly in our own vast land of China. Where does my sorrow come from? From the totalitarian regime and the dictator." -
A Letter to Lawyers of Different Countries from a Lady who was Persecuted in China
2003-10-13The first time they tortured me by force-feeding was on July 18 2001. Every time they did this, a dozen people held me down on a bed and tied my hands and feet. In order not to let me see their faces and the tools they used, which had blood on them, they covered my whole body with a large piece of white cloth with a hole cut out around where my mouth was. They forced open my mouth with a steel opener used on horses and pried apart my teeth with steel pliers. They inserted a thick rubber tube more than two metres long into my mouth and then into my stomach. My mouth was filled with blood and my body was covered with bruises from being beaten. -
The Jiang Regime Persecuted My Son to Death
2003-10-13
The evil police frequently visited my home to threaten and intimidate my family. My teenage son could no longer practise Falun Dafa peacefully because of tremendous pressure from his school and society. His improved health gradually became worse day by day. Four months after the persecution of Falun Gong began he died.... -
Reflections on The Communist Party and the Persecution of Falun Gong
2003-10-11All that Falun Gong practitioners have done is for the purpose of exposing and ending this persecution. Falun Gong practitioners won’t cause a violent revolution like the Communist Party did in those past years. Four years have passed since Jiang’s gang of crooks took control of the nation’s political machine and began to seize Falun Gong practitioners all across the country. This persecution has developed to this point today and Jiang’s crimes against Falun Gong cannot be forgiven.
