The Epoch Times: Fifth Anniversary of a Deadly Hoax in China
2006-01-27
Five years ago this week, a group of five Chinese appeared on television screens across the world in a shocking apparent suicide attempt. The news reports said the five set themselves on fire in a stunt they thought would lead them to heaven. The storyline, as told by state-run media in China, where Falun Gong has been the target of a well-documented persecution, has tried to link the incident with Falun Gong. It has become the number one supporting argument for the Chinese communist regime that Falun Gong is dangerous and the crackdown against it is thus justified. -

Human Rights Group of the Parliament of Finland Writes to the Chinese Government about Lawyer who Defended Falun Gong Practitioners' Rights
2006-01-25Although we are aware of your government's position that the firm was closed because it had failed to re-register with the authorities after moving into a new office, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom disputes this assertion.

Shenyang Prison Guards' "Poems" and Funeral Songs
2006-01-25Zhang Zhixin's name is well known in China because of her unyielding character and the inhumane tortures she experienced. She was intelligent and beautiful, a very bright lady. The Communist regime had her brutally murdered because she had doubts about the CCP leadership at that time. What shocked me, though, are the "poems" written by the guards in the Shenyang Prison who inhumanely tortured Zhang Zhixin with various methods. Their brazenness is beyond the comprehension and grasp of rational people. -
Two Stories that Illustrate the Principle that Good Will Be Rewarded with Good and Evil Meets with Retribution

Once there was a group of people in her store and someone brought up the issue of the Chinese Communist Party's campaign to promote the Party doctrines. She said with a loud voice, "Promote the Party doctrines? Look at those Falun Gong practitioners! If everyone practised Falun Gong, we wouldn't have so many bad things happening." -
"The Same Song" Used as Psychological Torture Against Falun Gong Practitioners
2006-01-24"The same song" has happy, easy-going lyrics and can be considered a romantic song. It is sung by famous singers with great emotion and was Sometimes it was accompanied by children's voices. The CCTV has a programme entitled "The Same Song." However, this song is a major tool for the Chinese Communist Party to engage in spiritual persecution and brain-washing and mind-transformation of Falun Gong practitioners. -
"The Same Song" -- A Tool of Psychological Torture in the Chinese Communist Party's Persecution of Falun Gong
2006-01-22An originally saccharine Chinese song with a children's chorus and the emotional rendition of popular singers, and the namesake of a musical performance organised by CCTV, "The Same Song" has been used by the Chinese Communist Party as a major tool in psychologically persecuting, torturing and brainwashing Falun Gong practitioners. Behind this seemingly benign song lies the suffering, blood, and tears of millions of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in Mainland China. -
My Newborn Baby's Kidney Tumour Disappeared
2006-01-22My daughter was born safely. On the third day following her birth, she had a thorough exam at the hospital. Both of her kidneys were normal and everything was fine. The kidney tumour had disappeared. The doctor could not believe his eyes and re-examined her again. He said with amazement, "I have never seen anything like this before. How could I make such a mistake?" Actually, it was not because the doctor made a mistake. We were all clear that it was because of the miracle of Falun Gong that my daughter was fine. -
Cases of Karmic Retribution in Liaoning Province
2006-01-22The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. -
"March of the Demons": A Song That Destroys Morals and Minds
2006-01-21Those who are familiar with China's political affairs know that "The Same Song" has been used to persecute Falun Gong practitioners on a nationwide basis. The composer and writer of the lyrics finished the song in 1990. They did not know that this song would be used for such an ignoble purpose, and expressed dissatisfaction with CCTV for playing this song over and over again without paying royalties. -
Over a Billion People Thirst for the Truth That Luo Gan and His Fellow Felons Fear
2006-01-21The CCP media lacks fundamental legitimacy and credibility, as they obscure and block the truth about "SARS," bird flu, and other important issues. They covered up the truth of "the pollution of Songhuajiang River" and fabricated incidents, including the "Tiananmen self-immolation incident." The suppression of such news continues unabated. It does not therefore seem unreasonable to declare that this New Year's wish is an honest reflection of ordinary people's present living situation. -
Why Do The Police In China Act So Brutally
2006-01-20They didn't stop until the practitioner shouted aloud for help. Later one policewoman went into the room and asked what had happened. When she heard about the situation, she was not surprised by such brutality at all. In the end the practitioner asked her, "We are all women and women should be kind-hearted. Why do you still cruelly harm other women?" The policewoman answered, "That is my job!" and then she turned around and left the room. -
A Person in China Comments: "Society Needs People Like This"
2006-01-19I again asked them, "Why did you go to Beijing [to appeal for justice for Falun Gong]?" They told me that the purpose was to make the central government leaders know the real situation of Falun Gong, which is that practitioners follow the principle of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance). They want to know why the government thinks there is anything wrong with that. Hearing this, I knew that this Falun Dafa is really great. All the Falun Gong practitioners I have known are indeed like this. -

The elder recites "Falun Dafa Is Great" and Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance Are Great". When the Falun Dafa practitioner left that family's home, the elder said: "I will never be able to find a nicer person than you! Please find me other people like you who believe in Falun Dafa."
