A Student in Xi'an City, China: "The Truth about the Persecution of Falun Gong Has Shocked Me"

The big trend of withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has entered into its third year. Three million Chinese people have already withdrawn their memberships from the CCP and/or its affiliated organisations, thereby breaking all ties to the Party. A student from Xi'an City said that the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is "illegal" and "ruthless."

In regard to the severe persecution in China, this biology student told the reporter, "I have been paying close attention to the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. During my first year in college, I found very limited information about Falun Gong through on-line search engines. Based on that, I came to the conclusion that Falun Gong was absolutely not what the Party had depicted. Later on I met some friends overseas on the Internet and obtained software that helped me break through the Internet blockade, enabling me to gain access to a lot of precious information. Comparing this information with the Chinese Communist Party's denouncements against Falun Gong, I became convinced that my original conviction was correct. The CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is ruthless! When I deeply understood the truth about how Falun Gong was persecuted, I was profoundly shocked and stayed in shock for many days. I realised how indifferent I and the people surrounding me are."

The student went on to say, "I think every Chinese citizen has a responsibility and an obligation to understand Falun Gong and end the persecution. This is a real crime, and it is very severe. The fact that it could happen, shows that the political system is incurable. Amidst the Chinese Communist Party's insane persecution of Falun Gong, we should all ask ourselves if we have participated in it. Did we hold onto to our good values and refrain from helping the authorities do evil? If so, then the persecution would not have happened or lasted so long, and people would not have been so numb and indifferent.

He stated, "Regarding the Falun Gong issue, every Chinese person must conduct a self introspection and, accordingly, carry out his or her responsibilities. One should not only be responsible for him/herself, but also for others and the society. If we are indifferent, keep silent, and do nothing about the persecution, then there is bound to be a day when everyone in the system will become a victim. If we keep a blind eye toward the plight of others and refuse to hear about it, then when it's our turn to suffer, who will help and care for us? I call on all Chinese to take a look at themselves and see the persecution rationally. The CCP must stop the persecution."

In regard to the big trend of withdrawing from the Party, he said, "The emergence of this movement lets people in the dark see the light. The rational, peaceful, and nonviolent way of dealing with this is very good. Only by ridding itself of the Chinese Communist Party can China have a future and hope."
