My Uncle, A Party Official, Finally Realises That Falun Dafa is Good and the Communist Party is Evil
2005-05-06
Next we showed him a VCD that exposed many evil aspects of the persecution. After the video ended, his first statement was, "How can the CCP be so bad now? It looks like the persecution is really unjustifiable. The government should not treat you people this way." This was a huge change from his former attitude, but when we continued and talked about how the CCP has brought disaster to the world's people, he reverted to his former opinions. He said, "The CCP is very cruel and harsh. We should not go against something stronger than we are." -
Which is the Real "Counterrevolutionary Political Organisation?"
2005-05-06For more than half a century, the CCP has held political power over the Chinese people, and it is so corrupt that when people on the street argue, they say to one another, "You are as bad as the CCP." In the people's minds, the CCP is a synonym for being corrupt and evil. -
Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes - Looking Back at the April 25th Spirit
2005-05-05The persecutors have pushed themselves to the point of no return with deception and violence. The CCP brought its experience with criticism, fighting, deception, and propaganda from the past several decades into full play in the persecution of Falun Gong. Jiang's regime has lost people's hearts worldwide. Who would trust and support a party that accuses people for what they didn't do? It's time for people to see clearly the evil nature of the CCP. -
Although the Persecution of Falun Gong Continues, the World's People are Gradually Learning the Truth
2005-05-05On April 25th, 1999, 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners went to the Appeals Office of the State Council, which was located in Beijing's Zhongnanhai Compound, to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong. It was the most peaceful and rational group appeal held by Chinese people since the CCP came to power. However, it was used as an excuse for the CCP to thoroughly repress and persecute Falun Gong right afterwards. To date, 1933 Falun Gong practitioners are confirmed to have been tortured to death during the persecution. -
Let's Explore What is Behind the So-called "Propaganda Ideology Task Meeting"
2005-05-04Some people may think, "Why should I care whether it is true or false?" In fact, it has a lot to do with each one of us. For example, there was a report by the media about "Sudan Red 1," a substance that might cause cancer. The Chinese media only started to report and investigate it after the substance was discovered in Europe and widely covered by the foreign media. The truth is that a cancer causing substance such as "Sudan Red 1" had been clearly outlawed in China more than 10 years earlier. But who knows? Did the Ministry of Health ever intervene? Did anyone ever investigate it? Did the media ever cover it? -
Break Through Obstacles in Order to Clarify the Facts to the World's People
2005-05-04Whenever I happen to come across some people, I seize the opportunity to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution. It is really miraculous. Whenever I want to meet somebody, I run into him or her the next day. I know this is Master's great compassion towards disciples and sentient beings, so I make it a point to clarify the facts on all occasions, such as classmates' gatherings, weddings, visiting relatives or friends and shopping, not leaving out anyone with whom I have a predestined relationship. -
Germany: The April 25th incident: The view of a Berliner
2005-05-03The question in her mind was “Is the freedom of assembly really allowed in China?” and “Is it possible that it was merely a trap set up by the Chinese communist regime?” On the other hand, her hope was also very definite upon seeing the people on the TV screen: These people were very peaceful, indicating that they had rationality. Trying to reflect their opinions to the government illustrated their intention to participate in decision-making for their own future. -
Some Thoughts on the 200,000 "Solemn Declarations" Published on the Minghui Website
2005-05-03Over the six years of persecution, we do not know how many practitioners were actually subjected to imposed penance against their will. Nonetheless, looking at the two-hundred-thousand-plus solemn declarations, and the recent drastic increase in the average daily number of people making declarations, we wonder how many kind-hearted people were tormented by this brutal persecution. -

On the Chinese Communist Party's Trampling the Freedom of Belief Under the Banner of "Atheism" - Part III
2005-05-02In discussions about atheism and theism, the atheists often tend to believe that they are more realistic, and thus they feel their perspective is more justified. After all, theistic views cannot be concretely seen or touched. Atheism and theism seem to be incompatible, like fire and water. However, there are some interesting phenomena when we investigate atheism and theism from a broader or world outlook. -
Human History has Already Remembered this Day: Recollections from an Eyewitness to the April 25th Incident.
2005-05-02Some Falun Gong practitioners went to clarify the facts of Falun Gong to the magazine publisher. Thus the Tientsin incident happened in which the police beat and detained the practitioners for no reason. When being informed of the news, I felt obliged to appeal at the Appeals Office of the State Council in the hope of telling the authorities the facts, asking for an immediate release of the detained practitioners, and requesting normal and interruption-free circumstances to practise cultivation. Our appeal involved no appeal for political power. -
What if the April 25th Appeal Took Place Around the White House Rather than Beijing?
2005-05-02The background of the "April 25" event is that some official branches of government had interfered with the Falun Gong practitioners' legal cultivation environment. Falun Gong books were forbidden to be published, and the news media defamed Falun Gong. The police had already started to arrest and beat Falun Gong practitioners. In China, how should these victims react to injustice? What normal people do is clarify the truth to higher government branches, hoping the problem can be solved rationally. -
Reflections on April 25: Appealing for Human Rights Should Not Be Labelled "Being Involved in Politics" and Persecuted
2005-05-01When Falun Gong practitioners sued the ringleader of this persecution in order to stop it, someone blamed them of being "involved in politics." For example, if a government official murdered your family member and you tried to disclose the crimes of that official or file a lawsuit against him, would you be "involved in politics?" When did "politics" become an excuse for persecution and murder? Is politics that terrible? Doesn't Chinese law provide citizens the privilege of participating in politics? How could exercising one's rights be committing a crime? -
A British Practitioner's Perspective about the April 25 Peaceful Appeal In China
2005-04-30After talking to many Chinese people in the U.K, many say that the CCP has improved the economy and people’s standard of living and so the CCP is therefore good. However, what they don’t consider is that although improving the economy is a good thing, when it is at the expense of people’s lives, where human rights are flagrantly abused, it is like covering a rotten apple with sugar to make it taste better – and in no time the rotten part spreads and can not be sweetened. -
A University Department Dean Resigns from His Party Secretary Position after Reading the Nine Commentaries
2005-04-30Later, he passed on the Nine Commentaries to many other fellow teachers to read. He was also the Branch Party Secretary and recently turned in his letter of resignation to the school authority so he could resign from his Branch Party Secretary position. People did not understand why he had to do this, so he explained, "Since I have already learnt and understood the nature of the CCP to be completely evil, I should quit so that I will not be implicated because of the evil CCP."
