The Call of an Elementary School Pupil from China

I am an elementary school pupil. When I was little, my mom started to practise Falun Gong. I still remember that everyday I would listen to the audiotapes of Teacher's lectures on the principles of Falun Gong along with my mum. Even though I couldn't understand much of Teacher's lectures at that time, I gradually came to know many principles of being a good person.

Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance) became deeply rooted in my heart and it has shaped my path of growth. Now I am 10 years old. I try to live up to the principles Zhen-Shan-Ren at all times. At school, I care about and help my classmates. I never fight back when being beaten. When my classmates bully me, sometimes I will feel upset, but soon my anger will disappear because Zhen-Shan-Ren reverberates in my ear. I do not hate my classmates. Instead, I use compassion to treat them and we therefore become good friends. There are many other such stories; all of them are manifestations of Falun Dafa.

Even though I do not have a deep understanding of Zhen-Shan-Ren, I know that it will guide me to become a pure, selfless and noble person. I 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 hope that kindhearted people around the world can extend their help to stop the persecution of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners. The world needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. Let the voice of justice be heard all over the world and shake both heaven and earth!
