  • Mourning the Death of Practitioner Ms. Li Shuqin

Ms. Li Shuqin gave me all her support and encouragement. She also taught me how to help my husband to accept my practice of Falun Dafa, and gave me our Teacher's new articles. I was very much moved by this.
  • Five More Confirmed Deaths of Falun Gong Practitioners From Three Provinces in Northeastern China

    The persecution of Falun Gong is most severe in these three provinces in northeastern China. According to statistics from the Clearwisdom website, among the 876 confirmed deaths, 346 were from northeastern provinces. This is more than one third of the total number of deaths. Among the 346 cases, 138 victims were from Helongjiang Province, 110 were from Jilin Province, and 98 were from Liaoning Province. Based on the fact that the information about Mr. Song Gang, Mr. Liu Ming, and Mr. Wang Xidong's deaths did not come to light until four years after the fact, it makes sense to conclude that the death toll from this persecution instigated by Jiang Zemin's regime far exceeds 876.
