A University Student in China Stands by His Father, A Falun Gong Practitioner

I am a university student living in China. Although I do not practise Falun Gong, my father does and so I, too, have suffered along with countless Falun Gong practitioners who remain steadfast in their belief.

My father once told me, "Child, as long as you believe that I am doing something noble, then I will have nothing to regret." When he said this, I could see tears in his eyes. I cried over his words. I believe in my father, and I am proud of him.

Even though I am scared that I will never see him again, as his son, I cannot let him lose face! I have to reveal everything I know about the countless good people who are being persecuted in China as I write and as you read. People with righteous hearts, please extend your helping hands and let justice prevail.

My father is a Falun Gong practitioner, and so he likes to help others. He is a good person and a good father who has spent his entire life thinking about others. Starting when I was a child, he often told me that I should become an asset to others and the country.

When my father was first arrested by the plainclothes policemen, I was left alone that night, feeling as though everything had come to an end. I did not know whether I would see my father again, and I became irrational. At that time, I felt great hatred toward the world, but I remembered what my father had told me: I must remember to be a good person in any circumstances.

I do not understand why they are persecuting such a good person as my father! Those involved in the persecution knowingly act against their conscience when doing these evil deeds. Doesn't true justice lie within one's heart? I cannot believe this is happening, and I must let other people know. Like many others, I am not a cultivator, but we all should have the ability to distinguish between good and evil!

Maybe when someone close to you or you yourself are caught in a life or death situation, only then will you understand who are the true villains of the world. Human beings are pure at birth, but many notions that we accumulate growing up affect our rationality. I wish everyone could live for truth.

The land of China has benefited from 5,000 years of civilisation, but many righteous people are being unjustly persecuted for defending the truth. These people know how to treasure and make good use of their limited time. As a bystander, I feel deep respect for them all. They are genuinely good people.

Good people will be rewarded for their goodness! The dark cloud cannot cover the radiance of the sun forever, and light will shine through eventually. Kind-hearted people, please treasure your lives! Please help for the sake of truth!
