Overcoming Hardship: Thoughts after Following the Progress of the Divine Performing Arts
2007-05-10I live in Berlin. I have had the opportunity to meet people that suffered under the former East German Communist regime. Since the fall of the Berlin wall 18 years ago, they have been battling to keep people from forgetting the crimes committed by the Communist Party, as well as forgetting the suffering of the victims. They are still striving for their rights. They are striving for the opportunity to speak. Their efforts continue to remind people who live in the free society that, just as in the past, there people today who don't live in the freedom that som many of us take for granted. -
Former Drug Addict in China Finds out About Falun Gong Whilst in Jail
2007-05-10Having heard that the daughter of a relative had been jailed two years ago for taking drugs, I gave her a copy of an article entitled, "A Letter to the Beijing Residents." When she read the letter, she screamed with surprise. "I was asked to do the same thing to a Falun Gong practitioner when I was in jail. Everything it says here is true. Why does this still happen? Isn't it disgraceful?" Overwhelmed by the incident, she related to us her experience while she was in jail. -
Who is Really Undermining the Law in China Today?
2007-05-09The persecution of Falun Gong has been going on for nearly eight years, yet it has spread from ten to more than 80 countries. Is this the issue that the Communist regime can't handle? The act of defining a belief as "evil religion" is itself a violation of human rights, and that, in fact is what is "undermining the implementation of the law . -
Ottawa Citizen: Organ Harvesting Is Happening
2007-05-05The letter states that China abides by World Health Organisation standards on transplants. Yet Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have decried the harvesting of organs in China from prisoners without consent in violation of international standards, harvesting Chinese officials have themselves admitted. -
Human Rights Attorney: Will China Continue to Violate Chinese law, International Law, and the Moral Constituents of Our Humanity?
2007-05-04The lessons of history have unfortunately been ignored by the ruling elite in China today. The peaceful appeals staged by participants in the civil rights movement in the United States effectively taught Americans to judge people not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character. -
Falun Gong is Really Magnificent
2007-05-04This story happened on the road facing the Jiangnan Wholesale Market on Jilin Street in Jilin City, China. On March 4th, 2007, which was the Lantern Festival, the whole Jilin City area had a severe snow storm, which was historically rare. Two days after the snow, the road was still covered with a slippery layer of ice and snow. It was really hard for people to walk on the road because it was very slippery. The road conditions were very dangerous. -
Promoting the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular Is A Way of Letting More People Learn the Facts
2007-05-03I am a Falun Dafa practitioner working in a large U.S. corporation. Today I would like to share with everyone how I negated arrangements and removed my mental obstacles to clarify the truth and promote the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular and Christmas Holiday Wonders in a U.S. corporation so more people might have a chance to see the performances. -
What a New Falun Gong Practitioner Wants You to Know
2007-05-02So, what is Falun Gong? Why did the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) want to suppress Falun Gong? Why do Falun Gong practitioners risk their lives to keep their belief? Although I had been a CCP member for about forty years, I knew that CCP leaders change CCP dogma whenever they want to. I knew I could not trust statements from the CCP. Thus, I wanted find out the truth. I started reading the book Zhuan Falun after someone introduced me to it. -
Everlasting "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" - A Look Back at the April 25th Appeal Eight Years Ago
2007-05-02The "April 25th", 1999 Appeal was a magnificent feat by Falun Dafa practitioners, as they exposed the barbaric nature of the persecution to the government peacefully and rationally. It was a magnificent manifestation of Falun Dafa practitioners' broadmindedness, and of Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance. -
Remembering April 25th, 1999
2007-05-01Ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners appealed at Zhongnanhai (China's central government building) on April 25th, 1999 and peacefully requested premier Zhu Rongji to resolve the illegal arrest of Falun Gong practitioners in Tianjin City. It was the 88th anniversary of Tsinghua University's founding; it is more than mere coincidence--there is a reason for everything. Each year, as a Tsinghua University alumnus, I always have a lot of feelings during this special time. -
Article Submitted by a Tourist from Mainland China in Hong Kong
2007-05-01Last year, on January 15th--the Lantern Festival on the lunar calendar--her boyfriend's nephew, who was riding on a motorcycle, crashed onto a moving concrete mixer truck.

The hospital notified his family: Be prepared for his death! -
Forbearance Manifests Through Truthfulness and Benevolence--On the Eighth Anniversary of the "April 25th Appeal"
2007-04-30Beginning with the ten thousand practitioners who appealed on April 25th, 1999, Falun Gong has gone through eight years of peacefully resisting the persecution in China. We have endured so many turbulent storms, and it is hard for people to imagine the miserable hardships that practitioners have suffered in the past eight years. Nonetheless, Falun Gong practitioners have made it through. -
Sharing My Shallow Understanding with Fellow Practitioners Who Don't Know How to Look Inward
2007-04-30As a matter of fact, I don't really have a deep understanding on how to look inward. Whenever I encountered conflicts and could not pass through certain tribulations, I became anxious. I looked inward, but could not find the fundamental attachment. I would tell myself, "Forget about it. I will try to do well by following the Falun Gong teachings." In this way, I did not truly let go of the attachment. -
Truth-Compassion-Tolerance Forges the Milestone of Moral Nobility - Part II
2007-04-29But on July 20th, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members, under the influence of Jiang and Luo, began the genocide of Falun Gong practitioners, people who believe in Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. The peaceful appeal of April 25th was misrepresented and characterised as "a political scheme" and "an attack on Zhongnanhai." This peaceful appeal became the main "excuse" for the persecution. -
How I Became a Falun Dafa Practitioner
2007-04-29I always thought that the Party was right in every respect. I even believed that in the past prisoners of war had been humanely treated in their "transformation" and even more so the peaceful Falun Dafa practitioners, who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." But I tell you that I really did witness these things in the prison. I saw the horrible torture with my own eyes and heard the screams with my own ears.
