Words From a Taxi Driver in Beijing
2005-03-31I was driving a reporter home who worked for China Central TV. During our conversation the reporter complained, "Doing work for the Communist Party, you have to do whatever they want. If they want you to be a donkey, you have to be a donkey. If they want you to be a horse, you have to be a horse. We are again doing overtime to prepare materials for slandering Falun Gong. All the video clips you saw on TV about Falun Gong were fabricated! Some of them were done with digital editing. Some were done by actors. -
Understanding the Systematic Nature of the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong through a Notification from the Gaocheng City 610 Office
2005-03-30When Chinese society is in all sorts of upheaval, including politics, the economy, the environment, and morality, the CCP still mobilises and calls on all of society to fight with the cultivation group that follows the principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance."

Prisoners Protect Falun Dafa Practitioners after Learning the Truth about the Persecution
2005-03-30One day, they wanted to learn the Falun Dafa exercises and asked me to demonstrate them. I had started an exercise but didn't see the approaching guard who was patrolling the cells. When the guard saw what I was doing, he angrily dashed into the cell brandishing a club.

A Witness to the True Nature of the Chinese Communist Party
2005-03-30After reading the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," I completely agree with the description of the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The words about the horrendous massacre are all true. I would like to share my personal experience about how the CCP used a school janitor to make trouble for the senior principal in my hometown of Fujian Province. I also hope that all people will carefully read the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party." -
Thirteen Methods of Torture Used in Today's China
2005-03-28According to the article, there is a worldwide trend condemning the use of torture. China has co-signed the United Nation's Convention Against Torture and other Cruel Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and other relevant documents.

After Learning the Truth, Policeman Stops Persecuting Practitioners and Tells Others the Facts
2005-03-28One time I was doing the exercises, and he beat me again. However, I didn't stop practising, and I didn't feel any pain.

After hearing this, the policeman asked the husband, "Is that true?" The husband replied, "It is true, and my arm hurt for several days afterward." Then the policeman said, "Falun Gong is so amazing. I want to know more about it later if there is a chance." -

Here we announce that our signatures are completely void. We want to use this opportunity to tell people that Falun Dafa is great to make up for our mistakes. -
Self-Examination and Soul Searching: The Fallacy of Dialectically Evaluating the Chinese Communist Party
2005-03-27In reality, when a person commits a murder, everyone will condemn him with anger. When a person murders hundreds or thousands of people, the world will call him a monster or a maniac. But the CCP has murdered at least 60 million Chinese people. Why are the Chinese people afraid of calling it by its rightful name, monster or demon? The reason is that, like the young maiden in the earlier story, the Chinese people have been held hostages in the CCP’s den for over five decades. -

Township Government Officials Bring Falun Gong Practitioners Presents for Chinese New Year
2005-03-24Everyone in the township now knows that Falun Dafa is good and "Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance" is good. The policeman who used to be the most ruthless in his treatment of practitioners now avoids them.

A Righteous Senior Citizen: "Young Man, Let's Distribute the Materials Together!"
2005-03-24I heard someone calling out from behind me, "Young man! Wait for me!" I turned my head and saw the man who had read the poster hurrying toward me on his bicycle. I smiled and asked, "Uncle, is there anything I can do for you?" The elderly man said, "Do you still have the posters here with you? If you do, give me one, please." At that time it was not easy to get hold of such materials, thus, in order to let more people know the truth, I usually only put them up as posters and did not distribute them freely. However, since he requested one, I gave him a copy. -
