The Righteousness of a Young Chinese Practitioner

Xinzhu is a nine-year old Falun Gong practitioner; she is very innocent and lovely. She is very bright and does well in school and also studies the Fa [the teachings of Falun Gong] diligently. Her parents are both practitioners. At the age of three, she was able to read three thousand words, and when she first started to practise Dafa, she read Zhuan Falun [The main text of Falun Gong] from cover to cover a total of five times. She practised the five sets of Falun Gong exercises and studied the Fa every day with her parents. Since she first began to practise in 1997, she has been studying and practising constantly. From the outset of her practice she has always sat in meditation for more than an hour. She participated in group exercises and group Fa study every Sunday no matter whether it was very cold or very hot outside.

Whenever little Xinzhu encountered conflicts with her friends, she always looked within to see how she could improve her character and lived up to the standard of the Fa. She not only read and memorised Zhuan Falun herself, she also encouraged her parents to study. She saves the money she might spend on new clothes or toys and spends it on activities regarding the thing that she loves most, Falun Dafa.

Xinzhu and her parents went to Beijing to peacefully appeal on July 20, 1999. When they returned home, her parents were imprisoned in the local detention centre. Because of this, Xinzhu has to live with her grandmother in a different town. Xinzhu's mother insisted on practising Dafa while in detention; therefore in November 2000 she was sentenced to five years in prison. On May 14, 2002, Xinzhu's mother was tortured to death whilst been detained in Heizuizi prison, Jilin province. Xinzhu's father was sentenced to two years in a forced labour camp because he also persisted in practising Dafa. Afterwards, he was able to walk out of the labour camp due to his fearlessness, dignity and strong righteous thoughts.

For several years Xinzhu has been exposing the lies of Jiang's regime and clarifying the true facts about Dafa to all of her friends and classmates in all kinds of ways. Whenever anyone who knows the details of her tragic situation and whom ask Xinzhu if she misses her mother since she was killed or if she misses her father who was forced into homelessness because he refuses to give up his practise in Dafa, Xinzhu always replies firmly that her parents are practitioners and so they are the best of people, and that what they did were the most righteous and sacred things.

Once, when an elderly female practitioner spoke to her about how wonderful it was that Falun Dafa was being spread so widely in the world, and of the urgent need to make materials to clarify the facts, Xinzhu took out all of her savings from her little piggy bank, and said calmly and firmly, "This is my savings from my New Year's gifts, and the small amount of money that I have been saving through the years. Please use this money to make truth-clarifying materials to enable more people to wake up."

All the practitioners who heard her say this were moved to tears by this little practitioner's pure heart.
