• 487 Villagers in Kangping County, Liaoning Province Appeal for the Release of Practitioners Sun Lianjiang and Jing Yong'an

  2007-06-27
  Our father taught us how to become good people by his verbal instructions and his exemplary conduct. He always strictly required us to be kind to others, to be polite, to do more good deeds, and to refrain from doing bad deeds. Especially after our father started to practice Falun Gong he taught us to conduct ourselves according to Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. When our father not only recovered from his illness but opened an electronics repair shop to serve our neighbourhood, we were all very happy. All our fellow villagers liked his service, and our family started to have a steady income. In the past few days that our father has been detained, many people have come to request repair services. We cannot help crying when they come to ask for help, only to realise that our father, who presided over the repair shop, is not there. We miss our father dearly.
