  • Regaining My Life

    I'm a 21 year old woman living in a remote mountain area in Gansu Province of China. I'm a practitioner who started to practise Falun Gong in 2002. I feel that it was only since I began to practise did my life truly begin, as my first 20 years were controlled by illness. When I was only a little girl, I had already suffered from tracheitis, hepatitis and gastroenteritis. There was a problem with my eyes as well. My eyesight deteriorated and my eyes were red and swollen. Each day I had to take medicine and injections. The various illnesses made me very weak. Though my parents kept taking me to see different doctors, the doctors could not help either.

  • France: Human Rights Groups Discuss Organ Harvesting

    “Falun Gong has been acknowledged and accepted in many countries around the world. In France, some organisations have understood Falun Gong, but many people and media have yet to really understand Falun Gong at present. We don’t know why the Chinese regime would regard this absolutely harmless spiritual movement based on the universal principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance” as a threat to the nation and perpetrate the cruel persecution against it. We are against all the atrocities of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners."
