  • Chinese Official: "I Think What I'm Reading Is All True"

    During the tour, the young guide pointed to a painting, showing a scene of Jesus being persecuted, and said, "No one in history who persecuted deities met with a good end. Those who are persecuting Falun Gong in China will definitely get retribution too!" The official said, "Be careful when you speak. It would be the best if you can find a job overseas after graduation and don't go back to China. If you cannot get a job, then go back to China and I will help you!"
  • The Epoch Times: Exclusive Interview with Chinese Diplomatic Defector Chen Yonglin

    Chen Yonglin, a diplomat at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, who defected recently, has for the first time revealed to the public the Chinese Communist Party's extensive espionage network overseas. His actions inspired two other former CCP officials, who disclosed more facts about the CCP's persecution of overseas dissidents and Falun Gong practitioners.
  • Morality and Longevity

    Research projects by Yale University and the University of California followed 7,000 citizens in Alameda County, California. Another research project by the University of Michigan Investigation and Research Centre tracked over 2,700 people for fourteen years. They came to the same conclusions, that a person's longevity is greatly affected by his or her morality.
  • Former Chinese Consulate Official Speaks Out on the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong

    There is very little religious freedom in China. I know many people like to keep fit with qigong exercise or seek beliefs for spiritual support. As for those so-called suicide or self-immolation incidents, such as the propaganda reported as "Falun Gong 1700 Deaths," I can tell you most of these 1700 people probably had mental diseases or were suicidal to begin with. We should see the true facts, that many practitioners obtained spiritual hope due to practising Falun Gong, felt peace, and would not want to commit suicide any longer.
  • A Former Thief: "I Witnessed the Might of Falun Dafa Practitioners and the Evil Nature of the Police"

    One time, a doctor from the detention centre came to observe Mr. Cui's condition. Looking at Mr. Cui's drawn face, the doctor grinned fiendishly and then stomped on Mr. Cui's wrist with his boots. He even twisted his boots on Mr. Cui's wrist. He was the Chinese Communist Party police doctor. While he tortured practitioners, he laughed contentedly. His appearance was really odd and he looked just like a ghost.
  • Banners Hang in Support of Falun Dafa in Tiayuan City, China

    When we came back after 7 a.m., the banners were still there. The red characters on the yellow cloth were very eye-catching. Many people walked by and read, "Falun Dafa is good!" Some people stopped and talked in small groups of two or three and said, "Falun Gong is stronger than the police." I took a few photos of the scenes.
  • People of Legend

    They'll try to force you to change your mind." I said: "Well, I am absolutely sure that I won't write the statements, and I strongly demand that I be released without any charges. I will definitely get out of this place." Ruan then said to me: "Let me tell you, if you don't write the three statements, it is impossible for you to be released without any charges. If you can really get out of here like that, you have to be some kind of legendary figure." I promised Ruan: "Mr. Ruan, please remember my words, Falun Dafa practitioners are indeed the stuff of legends!"
  • Prisoners' Hearts Change after Meeting a Falun Dafa Practitioner

    After practising for a period of time, the prisoners pain was alleviated by various degrees. Experiencing the huge changes in themselves, they were convinced by the miracle of Falun Dafa. Thereafter, they started to study the Falun Gong teachings and practise the exercises with the practitioner. Every day, they studied the Falun Gong teachings, practised the Falun Gong exercises and shared experiences together. The bad environment disappeared as well. The small cell became a peaceful and pure land for cultivation.
  • An Agent from the 610 Office Comes to His Senses and Begins Treating Falun Dafa Practitioners Kindly

    After coming to know the facts, the official criticised Jiang for depleting national resources to persecute Falun Gong while ruining many proper businesses. He expressed his innermost thoughts, "Supposing Jiang had not issued the order, why would we ever arrest Falun Dafa practitioners?"
  • Solemn Declarations from Those Who Have Learnt the Truth

    I was forced to sign my name when I attended an anti-Falun-Gong event. Even though I do not practise Falun Gong, I know Falun Gong is good. I have met many Falun Gong practitioners and have found their words and deeds different from what the media reports. I know that they are the best of citizens. I solemnly declare that what I said and did against Falun Gong before is invalid. I will take every opportunity to tell people that Falun Gong is great to make up for the mistake I made.
  • Company Party Secretary Successfully Rescues a Falun Dafa Practitioner

    After hearing about this incident, the Party secretary stayed in the detention centre the entire day, negotiating on behalf of this practitioner. He was able to have our colleague released due to his persistence. He also told the practitioner to keep his Falun Dafa books and materials in a safe place.
  • Two 610 Directors in Huanggang City Die as Karmic Retribution for Their Evil Deeds

    Now 610 Office Deputy Director Song Minghui is in charge of the persecution, and he lives in fear all day long. People here are saying that they deserved their fates as the result of persecuting Falun Gong. Some say that good deeds are rewarded and bad ones punished because nobody can escape divine justice. Some Chinese Communist Party officials are also discussing it. They say, "It happened just like this. Is it only coincidence? These who work in 610 can't last long."
  • Historical Lessons from Two Statues

    What especially stand out are the dents on the statues' heads. The statues weren't cast with these dents. The dents are a result of people's anger towards the couple and repeated beating of these statues. Actually, these statues aren't even the original ones. The original statues had their heads broken a long time ago and had to be thrown away. This demonstrates how much hatred people have against the officials who abused their powers and fabricated false crimes to murder innocent people.
  • Refusing to Implement the CCP's Persecution Policy, a Chinese Consulate Official in Australia Seeks Political Asylum

    The Australian reported on June 4th, 2005 that Chen Yonglin (pronunciation), the consul for monitoring Falun Gong at the Chinese Communist Parties (CCP's) consulate-general in Sydney, refused to continue working for the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and political dissidents, and sought political asylum from the Australian government.
  • Commentary: Looking at the Importance of Withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party from the Perspective of the Revocation of Ex-Nazis' American Citizenship

    On the surface, they have already escaped the control of the CCP's tyranny, so is it really necessary for them to announce their withdrawal from the CCP? During my conversation with the elderly gentleman, we talked about some real stories that happened in the United States. I told him about an American citizen over 80 years old who had his American citizenship revoked because he had been a Nazi several decades earlier. That elderly man listened and nodded, and seemed to understand that quitting CCP is far from being a mere formality.
