• Give Me Back My Dad, Give Me Back My Teacher

  2009-04-05
  My dad Cui Hongde is a very kind man and would never harm anyone. He takes great care of me and my younger brother. A very warm-hearted man, he never hesitates to help those around him. He is very honest and has taught us how to be good people since we were young. In 2002, my father was detained and sent to a labour camp for around two years. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) slandered him and even told my mother that he had an affair to try to break up our family. Ms. Liu Duanai was my Chinese language teacher when I was a freshman in high school. She was very strict as a teacher, but a very gentle person. The last time I saw Ms. Liu was about six or seven years ago. Such a kind teacher was attacked by the 610 Office only because she practises Falun Gong. How can that be right?
