Breaking the Media Blockade, Clarifying the Truth
The Austrian Diplomatic Institute held a seminar at the end of October. A Chinese Ambassador was slandering Falun Dafa at the seminar; he even made the ridiculous accusation that Dafa books are too expensive. The audience made lots of noise, and some loudly expressed their disagreement. One audience member pointed out that Dafa books can be downloaded free from the web. The Ambassador fell silent because people realized that he was completely wrong.
A letter to author Ye Xin and others who do not know the truth about the persecution against Dafa asked, "How would you feel if you saw the vicious police and their assistants beat up, insult, and mentally abuse Falun Dafa disciples, and also not allow them to sleep? The mass resistance from Falun Dafa practitioners, who lay down their lives for justice, is the most praiseworthy!"
Break through the old forces' (ie. the old forces in the universe) suppression of all predestined people. Clarify the truth of the persecution of Dafa to major world corporations, all levels of governments, and all news media.
Mainland China
Ninety people solemnly declared that the documents they signed and actions they took under duress are null and void. A practitioner said, "Cultivation is serious and holy. It does not allow any doubt or disrespect. Maybe some of my mistakes have already been amended, but I need to once more declare with dignity, from the bottom of my heart (that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner)."
One wife of a Falun Dafa practitioner argued strongly on sound grounds, and spoke with the force of justice in facing the evil. She loudly stopped police from taking one practitioner away. She said, "Why can't my family have friends over?" She threatened, " If you dare to take her away, I will immediately strike my head against the wall and die!" She took back the illegally confiscated computer as well as other confiscated materials. She told them, "Police are supposed to protect people's private property, how can you steal these from my house?"
Police illegally abducted a Falun Dafa practitioner at the Daqing Linyuan Oil Refinery, and then tortured him. He sent forth righteous thoughts during the 24 hours of his detention, and he never cooperated with the evil. He walked out of the black den with dignity.

Cultivation Story
A truth-clarification flyer was stuck to the ground in the middle of the road. Cars rolled over it and people stepped on it. In order not to let the flyer get mangled further, a practitioner picked up the pieces with his fingers, and was watched by many people. He rationally told the truth to passers-by who inquired. They could feel the power of benevolence.
When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I was diagnosed with anemia and dropped out of school. It didn't get better even after I took medication and shots all year long, and I lived in pain for five years. After practicing Falun Dafa, my body recovered to perfect health in a short time, and I returned to school, something I desired for a long time.

Completely denying the arrangements of the evil forces, a practitioner openly clarified the truth of the persecution of Dafa to the policemen trying to arrest him, to the surrounding crowd, and later to the nurses and doctors in the hospital. He told them that participating in the persecution of practitioners is actually helping the evil. He didn't follow any of the demands or directions of the perpetrators.
Around New Year's Day, a group of policemen broke into the house of a practitioner, robbed him of all his money and property, beat him, and sent him to the maximum security section of No.1 Detention Center, Changchun Police Department.

Several of them said that they would practice Falun Dafa after they were released.
