Daring to Say “No”
2003-04-01
Under generations of dictatorship in China, Chinese people have formed many notions and deeply rooted ways of thinking which prevent them from understanding why practitioners dare to uphold their beleifs and why they dare to criticise the persecution. This article, originally in Chinese, was written to help Chinese people to understand why it is right to question the persecution of Falun Gong and why it is right for Falun Gong practitioners to stand up for themselves -
A Practitioner's Wife Appeals to People's Consciences
2003-03-30When you gather together with your families, please think about how many Falun Gong practitioners are bearing the pain of ruined and broken families, and how many wives, husbands, children and parents are longing to be reunited with their relatives! Please look at the truth, and don't be deceived any longer! Please act on your conscience and stand up to expose the evil, please reach out a helping hand and stop this evil persecution. -
The Call of an Elementary School Pupil from China
2003-03-20I am a lucky child because I have been given the chance to practise Falun Gong. I can't understand what is so wrong with being a good person in this land where I grew up. The bad people constantly forbid people to practise Falun Gong which would make society better. My school also forces everyone to sign their names to denounce Falun Gong. The lies and false propaganda are poisoning children's hearts. Seeing my classmates deceived, my heart is weeping. -

I Want To Say Something Fair for Falun Dafa
2003-03-16I went to the County Political Safety Department to reason with them. I said, "She did nothing wrong by practising Falun Gong; her disease was cured and she wanted to be a good person. If you don't allow that, you are violating her basic rights!" The people from the Political Safety Department said, "This is ordered by the top; we dare not refuse. In China, you need to obey the Chinese government." -
Foundations of Chemistry in Ancient China
2003-03-16It is unthinkable to modern people, who understand that “science and technology bring wealth,” that valuable technologies were not preserved in ancient China. Actually, this issue has to do with the underlying assumptions of the scientific theories and moral attainments of scientists in ancient China. I will begin a series of discussions on various disciplines of chemistry in ancient China by first talking about the ancient Chinese theories regarding “substances.” -
As the Head of His Company, My Husband Clarifies the Truth and Resists the Persecution of Falun Dafa
2003-03-15When asked questions about Falun Gong, he said, "Falun Gong teaches people to be good and kind, and is very beneficial to the country. What's wrong with it? Right or wrong is not determined by a certain person or an organisation, it's determined by the nature of the issue itself. I've never seen any examples like they show on the TV. What I see is that Falun Gong practitioners in many areas are healthy, with rosy complexions; they are kind and unselfish; and their spiritual realm is higher than we communist party members and officials. -
An Unforgettable Telephone Call
2003-03-13"As part of our job, we had to read Zhuan Falun; I felt the teachings in the book were quite good, but I did not believe such good people existed. I had always thought there must be some other agenda, so I kept a watchful eye and did not make contact with anyone. After a period of time, I found that you people really did follow the teachings of the book - to become good people" -

Our goal is to give you another opportunity to learn what Falun Dafa really is, to rethink about the persecution, to reflect on your own words, actions and thoughts towards the persecution during the past three years." -
UK: A Non-Practitioner's Letter to The Prime Minister's Wife
2003-03-07"I became aware of the plight of these courageous people when my sixteen year old son signed a petition in our market place. Knowing his keen sense of justice, I just signed it too and took a pamphlet away to read later. Upon reflection, doing just that in a supermarket queue was not too wise for when I read about the mother and her child, I was almost sick, there and then." -
Is Yielding Your Seat to a Senior Citizen on a Bus a Crime? Is Speaking the Truth and Being a Good Person a Crime?

Seeing an older woman standing on the bus, she yielded her seat to the older woman.

Our Teacher teaches us to be a good person wherever we go, and this is what I should do." -
