2011-02-14

The Minghui website [Chinese version of the Falun Gong website Clearwisdom.net] published an article reporting that fellow practitioner Hu Dali had been tortured to death. I was deeply saddened. I haven't seen him for about 10 years, but I'd been waiting for him to return home and practise Falun Gong again. He suffered many hardships, and, in the end, the Communist regime tortured this wonderful young man to death.
