Painting: Memorial

This painting is in remembrance of some of the more than 1200 Falun Gong practitioners who are known to have died under the brutal and illegal repression taking place in China. The artist said, “I painted the faces of 280 practitioners to let more people see these good people and to help stop this persecution. Look at how happy they were! They were all very good people in the society. Whenever I think of them, I cannot hold back my tears…you know, some of them were only seventeen or eighteen years old when they were tortured to death.
