• Teacher Zhu, Everyone is Looking Forward to Your Return Home

  2010-10-14
  I remembered my chemistry teacher, Ms. Zhu Huimin, whom I had studied with at the Wuhan First Business Vocational School. I went to visit her and she looked very excited and told me that she was practising Falun Gong. Ms. Zhu simply said that after she started practising Falun Gong, her headaches, insomnia and all other diseases disappeared. I was worried about Ms. Zhu at that time because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was doing so many bad things, including defamation, disinformation, and attacks against Falun Gong. Ms. Zhu was handing out flyers in a shopping centre and the police had sent her to Hewan Labour Camp for a year of forced labour.
