Forsake Darkness and Come into the Light -- on Hu Jintao's Visit to North America
2005-09-19
At Hu Jintao's visit to the U.S. and Canada, we, the Falun Dafa practitioners in Liaoning Province, give him the following advice: "History is endowing you with an opportunity to choose your future. We hope you can make the final choice between good and evil. The opportunities and time are limited. Hu Jintao, if you can awaken, if you cherish this opportunity and make the right decision, it will be the biggest blessing for yourself and for the Chinese people. This is the only way to save yourself. We hope Hu Jintao can think of the greater picture, forsake darkness and come into the light..." -
What Messages Do Falun Gong Practitioners Wish to Send to Hu Jintao
2005-09-18Hu Jintao is visiting North America for the first time since he became the head of the Chinese Communist Party. Wherever he appears, people can see, on site or through the media, a group of Falun Gong practitioners dressed in yellow and holding banners in their hands. They are delivering a message of protest in a unique and peaceful manner. What message do the Falun Gong practitioners wish to deliver to Hu Jintao, and what do they really want? -
Stop Being a Slave to Life
2005-09-17Being alive is a precious thing. Cultivators, however, are not satisfied with modern science’s explanation of what happens at the end of one’s life. They constantly explore the meaning of life while being alive, searching arduously on an endless road. It can be said that cultivators have seen through life and death, but they also treasure life. Unlike most people, cultivators have gained a double life. At the worst, their lives have gained another meaning and, therefore, they have nothing to lose. The worst thing that could happen to them happens to all other human beings anyway – death. What’s different is that they have gotten something to hope for. -
Washington Post: Yahoo says it gave China data used to convict reporter (Excerpt)
2005-09-17Yahoo's role in the imprisonment of a journalist is the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the activities of global technology companies in China and their assistance to the state security apparatus. Many of the foreign technology powers that market themselves as forces for the free flow of information in other countries have made accommodations with an often repressive Communist Party government as they pursue business opportunities in a land of seemingly limitless potential. -
Carefully Listen to Words of Kindness; Exercise Prudence When Choosing Your Future
2005-09-14 As for other government officials, Chinese Communsit Party members and the general public, Falun Gong practitioners have made unimaginable sacrifices, sometimes at the cost of their own lives, to clarify the truth about the practice and the persecution to these people who are also victims of this cruel persecution. Their actions reflect the magnificence of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the immense compassion of the cultivators. -
After Sincerely Reciting "Falun Dafa Is Good" I Recovered from the Brink of Death with Hepatitis
2005-09-13I was hospitalised in Northern Sichuan Medical College in Nanchong City for a week, but my condition continued to deteriorate. I was transferred to the local hospital for more than a month, as my health became steadily worse. All the skin on my body turned yellow, and my eyes were yellow and shiny. My whole body was itching and in pain. I couldn't hold down any food. My husband asked the doctor what we should do. The doctor said, "Fewer than one in ten patients with liver necrosis like her survive!" -
Incidences of Karmic Retribution Befall the Persecutors of Falun Gong
2005-09-13Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by former president Jiang Zemin and his followers, they were pushed into persecuting those who practise Falun Dafa. In the process of destroying the lives of kind, law-abiding citizens, they have sealed their own fates and inevitably faced karmic retribution as punishment. If it weren't for Jiang's wicked orders, perhaps their fates would have been different. -
Spreading the Nine Commentaries in the Conference on "Preserving the Advanced Nature" Movement
2005-09-11The hired political instructor saw that people were either sleeping or napping, and felt that his work was pointless. He then said, "What is our country doing, who cares about 'preserving the advanced nature'? Let's talk about the persecution of Falun Gong. That's Jiang's wrongdoing. But now he doesn't know how to stop it. There's a book called the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and it's the truth. I have a copy. If I have it with me today I'll read it to you guys." Then the employees started paying attention to him. -

2005-09-11
CFCN, a local TV station in Calgary, reported, "Falun Gong practitioners and supporters in Calgary held a live re-enactment Sunday, of torture methods they say are used in China against citizens who practise the 'art.'"

Arresting Single-Armed Senior Citizen -- The Tragic Opening Ceremony of the Chinese Communsit Party's "Maintaining Advancement Movement"
2005-09-10On August 20th, 2005, Mr. Yang Huaiyong, who lives in Village No. 1 of the family living quarters of Xi'an Jiaotong University, was talked into opening his door by a group of police officers and plainclothes policemen. The police swarmed in to arrest him illegally. Some officers wrested his single arm (Mr. Yang has only one arm) while others lifted his legs and they carried him to their police car. The police officers were afraid that Yang Huaiyong would alert the neighbours about his unlawful arrest, so they gagged him with a towel and left in a hurry. -
Stories from China Show the True Nature of Falun Gong
2005-09-10At 5:00 p.m. on June 24th, I heard a boy's voice as I approached a T-intersection: "Don't throw watermelon rind on the road. People will fall if they step on it." He then picked up the watermelon rind and carefully put it into a small pit on the roadside. I walked closer and found that I knew him. He is a young practitioner whom I met before, and he is only five years old. His parents both practise Falun Gong. He was playing with three other youngsters, and one of them threw the watermelon rind on the road when they finished eating it. The glory of Falun Gong's "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" radiated from the young practitioner. -
Public Security Bureau Disciplines 610 Officers to Prevent Them from Forsaking Darkness for Light
2005-09-09They say that Hao betrayed China and escaped because he had accepted a bribe. They try to hide the fact of his withdrawal from the CCP. However, police from the 610 Office scoffed and said that working with the 610 Office, they have almost no chance to be involved with rich people who could pay big bribes. They know that the 610 Office deals almost exclusively with Falun Gong. So how much money could Falun Gong have? Who would they get a bribe from? They know that there must be something more that the Party is not telling them! -
Chinese Communist Party Officials in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province Suffer Karmic Retribution Resulting from Their Crimes of Persecuting Falun Dafa Practitioners
2005-09-08He instructed the officials and police officers in the township to harass the practitioners and monitor them, to confiscate practitioners' books and burn them, to force every practitioner in the township to give up his/her belief in "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance," and to force the practitioners to curse Falun Dafa and its founder and write pledges to denounce their belief. Whoever did not write the pledge would be tortured even more severely. Soon, Banfu developed lung cancer. After spending over three hundred yuan on medical treatments, he still could not cure his illness, and finally died in August 2005 at the age of fifty-one. -

"This is the Greatness of a Falun Dafa Practitioner"
2005-09-05It was difficult to see everything clearly, so the banner was not hung properly. The next day, I passed by, thinking of taking the banner down to re-hang it properly. It wouldn't be of any use if people could not read the message on the banner. For this reason, I asked a bystander to give me a hand to get the banner down. The bystander asked, "What's on the banner?" I replied, " It says, 'Bring Jiang to justice!'" Surprisingly, the bystander replied, "Excellent idea! Jiang Zemin should be put on trial and bought to justice. Not only did he harm innocent people but he also made their lives miserable. Let me help you take it down and re-hang it properly!"
