High School Student Steps Forward to Clarify the Truth about Falun Gong

I am a high school senior and I am also a Falun Gong practitioner. I did not retreat when I was faced with the government's persecution and the slandering of those who did not know the truth about Falun Gong. Rather, I was more determined than ever to help people come to know what Falun Gong is. When I came to school, I would bring some materials that showed what Falun Gong is with me and display them in the classroom to show to my classmates. After reading the materials, some believed what was contained in them while some didn’t. I would then talk to the people who didn’t believe that Falun Gong is good in order to enable them to realise the truth. The results were usually good and I was able to allow more people to see how vicious the persecution of innocent Falun Gong practitioners is.

One day in class my political science teacher […] mounted irrational attacks about Falun Gong. I thought to myself: "I need to clarify the truth. He has been deceived by the propaganda, but I will not allow his bad ideas to have an effect my classmates." I stood up and said to him genuinely: "You are all deceived by CCTV. That was all untrue. Please look around and see for yourselves if a Falun Gong practitioner is like what they say on CCTV?" The teacher and the students were all stunned. The teacher said to me solemnly: "Why did you say Falun Gong is good? What do you know?" Not intimated, I replied calmly: "I have read Zhuan Falun [The main text of Falun Gong]" The teacher and the students were even more appalled. The teacher said: "How dare you read Zhuan Falun?" I said: " Why not? Some say Falun Gong is good, some say it is not. To find out whether it is good or not, why shouldn't I read it myself? After reading it, I found it is indeed remarkable. It is a truly precious book. I suggest that you all read it too." By this time the teacher had calmed down, and the students were listening quietly, as though they were intrigued by my speech.

I digressed a bit: "Under the same sky, why has only China, with its 5000-year-old history, treated Falun Gong in a totally opposite way than all other countries? People are practicing Falun Gong all over the world, in dozens of countries. Are all these countries stupid? Also, who would not want to live happily and peacefully? In order to save people from being misled by the vicious propaganda, Falun Gong practitioners have been beaten, sent to prison, forced out of their jobs, and even persecuted to death, yet they continue with their practice. How can all these people be stupid? Please, my teacher and fellow students do believe that Falun Gong is good." From then on my political science teacher and the whole class all recognized that Falun Gong is indeed good.
