  • My Students Begin to Support Falun Gong As I Continue to Talk to them

    Campuses all over China have been haunted with homicides and suicides lately. As a schoolteacher, it breaks my heart to see what the students in China have come to. As a Falun Gong practitioner, I concluded that the climbing crime rates on today's campuses would not be so high if not for Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, who conduct themselves according to Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
  • High-Ranking Officials In Heilongjiang Province Receive Karmic Retribution

    In August 2004, the Heilongjiang Province Forced Labour Bureau formally made a decision: all Falun Gong practitioners illegally sentenced to prison in Heilongjiang Province had to serve their sentences in Hulan Prison. Hulan Prison usually imposes long sentences on prisoners. Since August, 2004, practitioners Liu Fenglin, Han Jianmin and others were transferred to this facility and persecuted.
  • An Act of Great Compassion

    ...is it not right to broadcast on Chinese TV networks TV programs that contain the truth about Falun Gong in order to safeguard the most fundamental virtues of the mankind, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” to call for help to rescue kindhearted people who practise Falun Gong, and to awake the conscience of the Chinese people who have fallen prey to the Chinese Communist Party’s slanderous lies?
  • 154 People Declare that their Words and Deeds Under Forced Brainwashing are Null and Void

    A "solemn declaration" is a person's public statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practise again.
  • Comments on Xinhua News Agency's Repeated Fabrications about the TV Tapping

    This time, instead of calling the responsible person a "Spy for Imperial America" as occurred during the Cultural Revolution, the crime became "conspiring with Taiwan Independence Activists." When you thoroughly read Xinhua News Agency's "report," you find no witnesses or hard evidence, only words designed to provoke hatred by taking advantage of the antagonistic feelings of those Chinese people who do not support Taiwan's independence. This method is just like what was used during the Cultural Revolution.
  • People Comment on Falun Dafa in New York

    Two college students arrived to view the Falun Gong display board on a rainy day. Practitioners came over and told them the facts about Falun Gong. One student replied, "We learnt this in our ethics class. The teacher assigned Falun Gong as a discussion topic, handed out information about Falun Dafa to each student, and had us discuss this. All of us know about Falun Gong."
  • A Judge In China Starts to Practise Falun Dafa

    The next time we met, the judge graciously thanked me. He told me that when the suppression of Falun Gong started on July 20th, 1999, he had participated in it. When Falun Gong books were confiscated, he kept a copy for himself out of curiosity. After reading it over, he didn't think there wa's anything wrong with the book. Still, under the unprecedented pressure of Jiang's regime, and without an environment for cultivation, he never learnt how to do Falun Gong exercises. He knew that one of his neighbours practised Falun Gong but because of his occupation, however, the neighbour did not dare to contact him.
  • Comments on an Absurd CCP Statement - How Much Food Does There Need to Be Before Freedom of Speech Can Be Allowed?

    Facing human rights denouncements from the international community, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has worked out an absurd statement about "Chinese characteristics," claiming that "the right to survive supersedes all human rights." The CCP often uses this as an excuse to reject criticism of the human rights situation in China
  • Where Does the Money for Falun Gong Activities Come From?

    Some people think that one source is behind-the-scenes financial backing from a political party. In actuality, there has never been any evidence put forward to support this theory. In many cases, theories like this one are a direct or indirect result of the influence of the Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin and his cliques using propaganda as a way of accusing Falun Gong of having "political motives" and getting support from "overseas anti-China forces."
  • Parents Who Have Lost Children Because of the Persecution are Living Witnesses to the Party's Lie, "This is the Best Period of Human Rights in China's History"

    Countless Chinese parents have suffered this indescribable heartache as a result of the Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin and his faction's persecution of Falun Gong. The persecution of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance was carried out and is still going on in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China. According to a report dated at December 10th, 2004, in the past five years at least 1,157 Falun Gong practitioners have died from torture. Their average age is 46 and many of them left behind young children and elderly parents. This persecution has and still is inflicting a tremendous disaster upon the people of China.
  • Comment on the "Three Stops" Policy Recently Implemented by China's Ministry of Justice

    During the persecution of Falun Gong, China's Ministry of Justice has being Jiang Zemin's accomplice, but recently, it has called on prisons to put an end to all maltreatment of inmates. This directive may have been issued because of the power struggle that has arisen. With Jiang now out of office and the voices of condemnation inside and outside of China becoming louder and louder, there was a need to establish another smokescreen to hide the truth.
  • An Open Letter to Those Wishing to Know the True Facts Regarding the Persecution of Falun Gong in China

    On the day the reporters were to arrive, camp officials transferred steadfast Falun Gong practitioners and people without specific tasks, to a remote section of the west building until the reporters had finished their inspections. Many people wanted to tell the reporters what the real situation was, but they were blatantly denied the right to do so.
  • Jiang Zemin’s Henchmen Escalate Their Thuggish Acts with the Progression of the Lawsuit against Jiang Zemin in Australia

    In her letter to the police on the following day, Ms. Zhang wrote, “I was shocked and horrified by the scene and could not held back my tears and even today, my front yard is still covered by the blood.” She added, “As the Chinese Government has been attempting to prevent Falun Gong practitioners from filing lawsuits through a variety of indecent ways in different countries, I have no doubt that the incidents are not isolated and they must be related to my case..."
  • A Collection of Stories about People Being Rewarded with Blessings Via Falun Dafa

    On the afternoon of the 24th of June, 2004, there was a hail storm in some villages and small towns in Guangzhou County, Hebei Province; and it lasted over ten minutes with the largest hailstones the size of a fist. Xiaobaishi Village, Guangzhou County suffered serious damage from the hail storm; and, many branches, leaves and cotton crops were crushed by the hailstones. However, there was an exception: Falun Dafa practitioner Yan Peixian's cotton field suffered from very little damage. Other than some leaves that were crushed, the cotton crop was intact with no damage at all.
  • The Collusion of Jiang Zemin with the Chinese Communist Party to Persecute Falun Gong

    Jiang Zemin lacks both ability and moral integrity. Without a finely tuned, killing-and-lie-driven-machine like the CCP, he would never have been capable of launching this genocide, a genocide that is widespread throughout China and that even penetrates overseas. Similarly, under the international atmosphere of its current open policy and endeavours to connect to the world, the CCP would not have easily gone counter-current if there was not a self-willed dictator like Jiang Zemin who was determined to have his way.
