Has the Natural Environment and Climate of Mainland China Generated the “Evil”?
2005-11-03
During the past five thousand years, Chinese culture has been based on the semi-theistic civilisation of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. China has always been referred to as the “Land ruled by Heaven’s Laws” and “Divine Land” But during the last fifty-odd years when it has been under the dictatorial and autocratic rule of the evil Party, many evil things have occurred. What caused the evilness is not the natural environment or the climate of China, instead it is the inherently evil characteristics of the wicked Party. -
A Principal and Teacher in China Stand Up For Falun Gong
2005-11-03All the school leaders present, including the principal in charge of political education and the homeroom teacher, tried to help the Falun Gong practitioner. As a result, the 610 Office people did not find any proof. In the end, the principal invited the 610 officials into his office and gave examples of how kind and hard-working the practitioner was. He also expressed his sympathy for the practitioner, who had been persecuted for over six years. The principal said, "Of the over 200 teachers and staff in the school, everyone thinks that the teacher is a good person." -
After Hearing the Truth, an American Government Official Comments, "Now I Know How to Help You!"
2005-11-02Talking about the relationship between the persecution of Falun Gong and the U.S. Government, and explaining how the Chinese Communist Party regime uses cheap labour to rake in international capital and then utilises the money to persecute Falun Gong and trample on human rights, is very effective. It helps many people understand why Falun Gong practitioners continue to have a strong public presence on the streets of Manhattan. -
"What I Experienced is Only the Tip of the Iceberg" - An Interview With Ms. Li Weixun - Part 2
2005-11-01Although I am living in the USA "where the sun shines brightly," my heart is always in China. I worry about my family, my fellow practitioners living in exile, my fellow practitioners being persecuted in prisons and labour camps, my fellow practitioners who are risking their lives going from door to door to let people learn the truth about Falun Gong, my compatriots who have not yet learnt the truth, because they are still travailing in the darkness before dawn. -

"What I Experienced is Only the Tip of the Iceberg" - An Interview With Ms. Li Weixun
2005-10-30I held a hunger strike to protest. I hadn't done anything wrong so I refused to answer their questions. The police folded a soft-cover book and hit my head with it. They handcuffed my hands behind a chair and lifted my arms until the handcuffs cut into my wrists and blood oozed out. They stepped on my toes with their hard boots and ground them back and forth. They kicked my ankles and shins and struck my shins with three-inch thick metal bars. I gritted my teeth and refused to talk to them. -

Contrasting Photos
2005-10-29When I speak to people in Mainland China about Falun Gong and the persecution, I find that people often use the arrests of protesters in other countries as excuses why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should be allowed to persecute the people of China. They say that "all crows are just as black under the sky." If Western countries can arrest protesters, then it's all right for the CCP to abuse human rights. These Chinese people feel justified to be indifferent about this unprecedented persecution that is currently happening in China. -

A Young Girl Starts a New Life After Meeting Falun Gong Practitioners in a Detention Centre
2005-10-29Before long Tang Xiaohong, the prison guard in charge of the female cells, learnt about this and called the girl to her office. "You are not allowed to practise Falun Gong! If you continue I will handcuff you!" For the first time in years, the girl spoke very politely and sincerely, "Officer Tang, you know very well what kind of attitude I used to have and how bad a person I was before. You can see with your own eyes that I am really a different and much better person now. Why don't you let me practise?" -
Falun Gong Human Rights Newsletter: Where in China Are Your Dolls and Toys Made?
2005-10-28
What Falun Gong practitioners have further revealed is the absolute cruelty in the Chinese laogai system that had previously evaded academic description. Hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been incarcerated in labour camps and detention centres. At great risk to their lives, these practitioners continue to send firsthand information on the torture, killing, and slave exploitation of prisoners throughout China. -
"I Never Thought I Could Meet Such Nice People"
2005-10-28My sister-in-law and I stood up. The driver and other by-standers moved the carriage and pulled my husband out. He breathed in for a while, and he felt pain in his legs. However, he still said that he is a Falun Dafa practitioner, and then he managed to get up himself. The by-standers were so surprised. They all said that learning Falun Gong is really good, and if this had happened to other people they would have died instantly. -
One Thought Can Have Great Consequences
2005-10-28Many people feel indifferent to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China and think it has nothing to do with them. However, "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" is the law of the universe, including the whole world where human beings exist. How could one say the persecution of "Truthfulness, Compassion Forbearance" has nothing to do with him or her? -

Two 610 Office Officials from Mengyin County of Shandong Province in China Suffer Retribution
2005-10-25Each time we publish news of this nature, we do so with heavy hearts. These people started off as public servants, but under the intense pressure applied by former president Jiang Zemin and his followers, they were pushed into persecuting those who practise Falun Dafa. In the process of destroying the lives of kind, law-abiding citizens, they have sealed their own fates and inevitably faced karmic retribution as punishment. If it weren't for Jiang's wicked orders, perhaps their fates would have been different.
