  • Article from Danish Newspaper: The Different Refugee

    "While Xuezhi lived in China he did not have any problems practising his faith. But since Falun Gong was banned in China in 1999, the authorities have fiercely attacked many of the movements' members and Xuezhi is sure that he would be arrested if he were to return to China. Giving up his faith is out of the question. For Xuezhi his belief in Falun Gong is connected to the belief in a better world. Its main principles are Truth, Compassion and Tolerance and in Denmark he can meet freely with other Falun Gong practitioners to practise his faith. This is what nourishes his spiritual life while he is waiting to be able to start from scratch in Denmark."
