2004-04-17Ms. Wang Guimin is a retired worker from Kuangshan Machinery Plant in Jining City, Shandong Province. She is seventy-five years old. I met this gentle, elderly lady quite by chance. She related to me the great changes she had experienced both physically and mentally after she started practising Falun Gong. She also told me about the persecution she suffered since July 20, 1999. She showed no bitterness or regret. I was quite moved by her attitude, welling up with tears. Although I do not know much about Falun Gong, her steadfast belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance" should tell people that we need to wake up as soon as possible and uphold truth and justice. -
