Swarms of Grasshoppers Descend Upon the City of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia
2003-08-14
Everywhere on the road were fallen leaves cut by the grasshoppers and run over carcasses of grasshoppers. When people or vehicles approached, swarms of startled grasshoppers flew into the air to disperse. City clean-up workers swept the street every once in a while, yet the grasshoppers rapidly covered the ground once again and a thick odour from the crushed grasshoppers permeated in the air. -
Reference Material: How Much Money Does Jiang Really Have?
2003-08-11
Then, how much money does Jiang really have and where did it come from? This is a very important question. Clarifying this question is especially important in light of the current fight against corruption and bribery. The author of the article speculates that Jiang Zemin, together with his daughter and sons, possess enormous amounts of wealth. -
Are These Really the Words of the "People's Police?"
2003-08-11My friend's next-door neighbor was a prostitute and always had men visiting her late into the night, making a lot of noise. My friend planned to look for another apartment, but based on her situation, it was not easy for her to find a good location and a good landlord. With nowhere else to turn, she asked a local police officer for help in doing something about the prostitute. To her astonishment, the police officer replied, "Our police chief has ordered us to only focus on Falun Gong related issues. We do not really care about the prostitute." -
The Story of a Well in the Countryside
2003-08-10In the flatlands near Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, a woman living in the countryside had previously been chronically ill. She began practicing Falun Gong in 1996, and within two months all of her diseases were gone. It was almost as if she were a new person. Every afternoon, this woman usually draws water from a well. Whenever she lifts or lowers the bucket, she sees shining golden words, as big as her fist, arranged harmoniously around the well. (She is illiterate.) The water is always clean and cool. -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART VI)
2003-08-09"Bringing a former world leader or head of state to trial is no trivial matter, not least because the kinds of crimes that such a person is capable of are no ordinary crimes. They are of a far reaching, very broad scale. After all, is genocide not just murder on a massive scale? One man may torture another at one time, but someone with power over a nation may order others to inflict torture on many at the same time. A head of state may choose to use his power wisely and benevolently or he may choose to abuse that power." -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART V)
2003-08-06"I always knew that if I would simply write a letter denouncing Falun Gong, I would be released immediately. But if it is wrong to believe in 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance,' what hope does humanity have? This persecution was forcing people to choose between their lives and their conscience. I knew that I was being forced to make that choice, and I chose my conscience because I knew that when good men and women renounce sacred beliefs under pressure from a dictatorship, something much greater than us dies." -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART IV)
2003-08-05"How could the authorities say that my Mom died from practising Falun Gong just because she had practised Falun Gong at one time. My Mom's case is just one of the many lies Jiang has fabricated. How evil those lies are! They've made people associate "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance," the most beautiful things in the world, with murder and people getting hurt. They've made people turn their backs on virtue. Jiang should be tried for ruining the souls of the Chinese people." -
People in China Spread the Word: "Falun Dafa is Good!"
2003-08-05Having read many materials explaining the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution, a friend of his understood the reason behind the persecution toward Falun Dafa and the fate of those who carry out the persecution: "No matter how you plan to make money, you cannot make money from Falun Gong practitioners. Dafa practitioners are good people cultivating themselves based on the standard of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Justice will prevail sooner or later. You should never do such an unscrupulous thing as making money from [persecuting] Dafa practitioners. You could easily get you and your family into danger." -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART III)
2003-08-04"If you understood Chinese history, if you understood the nature of the Communist Party then you'd know... there's no such thing as "choice" in China. When Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, he detained and tortured the President of China. When Deng Xiaoping opened fire on students on Tiananmen Square and the head of the Communist Party lost his power, who had a choice? Jiang Zemin controls the military. Who has any choice?... It's not just Falun Gong that's been persecuted. I've been persecuted, too, as has my family and everyone in China." -
Exposing CCTV's Lies: The Truth About Practitioner Ms. Yuan Yuge of Renqiu City
2003-08-04After the persecution against Falun Gong had begun, an unscrupulous reporter disregarded journalistic ethics, distorted the facts, fabricated and changed the previous interview clips. CCTV reported "Ms. Yuan Yuge went insane due to practising Falun Gong and jumped into the Baima River together with her child." The local residents all know that the CCTV is broadcasting another fake story yet again. -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART II)
2003-08-03"Some say Jiang felt threatened by the ability of Falun Dafa practitioners to gather in such large numbers. After all, he's known to be incredibly insecure. Some say he was jealous of Mr. Li Hongzhi, too, because of the practitioners' obvious faith in Falun Gong and Mr. Li Hongzhi. Others say it's a tactic that was commonly used by leaders in the Communist Party to consolidate their power : first you find some benign group to target, next you label them as "counterrevolutionaries" and say how dangerous they are, then you squash them so you can show the masses how astute and strong you are." -
Script of the Symbolic Public Trial of Jiang Zemin Performed in front of Capitol Hill, July 22, 2003 (PART I)
2003-08-02"The scale and scope of this case is vast -- spanning the landscape of Mainland China and beyond as well as involving millions of souls. And yet this is also a case about a personal vendetta, the distorted attempt of one man, and one man alone, to destroy a peaceful spiritual practice. Let us think for a moment, ladies and gentlemen, what it means to "destroy" a spiritual practice that has no houses of worship, no formal institutions, no coffers, no membership rosters..." -
Stories from China: People With A Conscience Stand Up For Practitioners
2003-08-02One day farmers were delivering tax grain to the government. One Dafa practitioner delivered her grain on time. The police chief that once arrested that Dafa practitioner happened to be supervising the grain delivery process. After closely watching the Dafa practitioner's behaviour, the police chief said to the people who had gathered there, "You see, Falun Gong practitioners are very good; their wheat is both good quality and full weight." -
I Do Not Have a Lawyer, Because No Lawyer In China Would Dare To Defend Falun Gong -- A Dafa Practitioner's Self-Defence in Court
2003-07-24Falun Gong is a righteous way, and everyone practising it sets requirements for themselves according to the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," not seeking self interests, not doing bad deeds, how can this be branded "evil"? May I ask every officer sitting here: In the past three plus years, among the Falun Gong practitioners being arrested, detained, and sentenced, was there any behaviour such as robbery, theft, drug addiction, drug trafficking, gambling, indecent conduct, deceit, corruption, or bribery? Measuring it in your heart, aren't Falun Gong practitioners innocent individuals? -
Looking Back: The Operation of the "610 Office" Reveals Jiang Group's Evil Nature
2003-07-19People must by now be familiar with the name "610 Office." It has received condemnation and disdain from just people and media because of the atrocities it has committed. What people know, however, is only the tip of the iceberg.
