It is an ordinary small house in southern Taiwan. But it often has a group of people there, of different ages and different backgrounds and life experiences. However, the one thing common to all of them is that they are all happy and they cherish getting together to help stop the persecution of their fellow practitioners in China.
This is a group of Falun Gong practitioners. After practising Falun Gong, they have greatly benefited both spiritually and physically. They view everything in their lives with the principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance," so they can calmly face any difficulties and conflicts. The owner of the house said that Falun Gong saved him from a fatal illness, changed his bad temper, enabling him to live a happy life.

Young practitioners talk about Falun Gong to people in China |
After starting to practise Falun Gong the children grew more friendly and their behaviour also improved. They now take the initiative to do things and think about other people first. Two young sisters were regular visitors to the group exercises and study. Seeing how their fellow young practitioners in mainland China are expelled from school, forced into brainwashing classes or tortured, their parents jailed in forced labour camps and sometimes tortured to death, the girls are saddened and want to let the Mainland Chinese people know how good Falun Dafa is.
This desire changed a simple book-reading meeting to a time where Falun Gong practitioners would gather together to phone people in China to explain to them about Falun Gong and the persecution. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea to use the phone to call the Chinese people, police stations, forced labour camps and related authorities.
At the beginning of the phone calls, they could feel the fear of the Chinese people. When the people in China heard the words "Falun Gong," many Chinese were frightened and hurried to say, "I am not practising Falun Gong. I have no relation to it." Some repeated the lies they heard from the former President Jiang Zemin and his faction like, "You are a political group and are destroying the national security."
Once, a professor picked up the phone in China. At first, he angrily criticised Falun Gong, repeating the lies of Jiang's faction that Falun Gong was acting in collusion with other nations to defame the reputation of China. The Falun Gong practitioner patiently listened to him and then shared with him the reports from the World Organization To Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. He explained the suspicious points in the staged "self-immolation" incident and talked about how kindhearted people the world over are working to rescue persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. The ones who truly defame China are Jiang and his gang. In the end, the professor said calmly that there were many teachers and students practising Falun Gong in his university. They were honest people with compassionate hearts. So the practitioners asked him to help them, to which the professor agreed.
The phone calls to the Forced Labour Institute and "6-10 Offices" helped to reduce the persecution and remove some of the lies that are deeply formed ion peoples minds. Many policemen and jail wardens were shocked to hear that their evil behaviour was listed on the Internet in such detail. They were afraid they would be prosecuted too, like those after the Cultural Revolution. Some asked, "What can I do?" Some said they would stop persecuting Falun Gong. When the practitioners called them again later, some of them had quit their job.
The practitioners in Taiwan have benefited so much from practising Falun Gong, so they spend their own money and time to help the Chinese people know the truth. Sometimes they encountered people who didn't understand Falun Gong and returned their efforts with insults, but the practitioners knew that it was due to the lies from the state-controlled Chinese media. No matter how difficult the person on the other end of the line, they wanted to explain the matter clearly and help that person to feel their good intention. When they heard the people on the other end say, "Thank you, now I understand," their hearts were filled with happiness.
In this group, the Falun Gong practitioners understand that the only way to help the Chinese people know that Falun Gong is being slandered is to talk to them. When more and more people understand and stand up for righteousness, the Jiang faction's persecution will come crashing down.
