Clarifying the Truth and Breaking Through the Information Blockade

Several lessons learned while making phone calls to Mainland China regarding the persecution: First prepare the relevant materials, then send forth righteous thoughts before calling to eradicate the evil, and do not stick to one pattern while clarifying the truth. While eradicating the evil use righteous thoughts from our enlightened side (the side that has been cultivated well); if the other party hears it, even only one sentence, it is enough for the evil force behind him to completely collapse.

While calling the Public Security Bureau of Gansu Province, which tortured Yuan Jiang to death, the person who answered hung up the phone before I even spoke. Before, while making the phone calls, my mind was mixed with hatred against the evil people, but now my mind is "seizing every living being at the edge of the cliff." What the evil fears the most is benevolence. They have their rational sides and know they have committed heinous crimes.

Clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa to my college classmates: I sent an email to my classmates in my former college and told them my current situation and the reason why I became destitute and homeless. One of my classmates wrote a long letter to the whole class to express his great appreciation and admiration of me. He thought one would be practically undefeatable if he/she still insisted on speaking the truth while the price for speaking the truth was so high. Later, the whole class participated in a discussion on Falun Gong and me; a lot of my classmates expressed their high regard for my steadfast belief in Falun Dafa.

Worldwide Support

A private publishing group, Rainer Wagner based out of Germany, attached an eye-catching orange colored page to introduce Falun Dafa and the brutal repression of Falun Dafa in China in their book list for their Christmas promotion. The group got to know Falun Dafa from the Falun Gong web site and voluntarily called on their readers to pay attention to the situation in China.

According to the Russian Human Rights Group Pulima [Name translated from Chinese] Information Center's report on November 26, security officers at Moscow's Izmalovsky [Name translated form Chinese] Market illegally detained several Falun Gong practitioners as they distributed flyers on November 24, 2001. Security personnel confiscated their coats with the Falun Gong emblem and also Chinese-language pamphlets and several thousand flyers. Local police have begun to investigate this incident.

News from China - 12/01/2001

Today 113 people declared solemnly that what they did and said against the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance while they were under pressure of the evil forces and under their own fear are null and void. From now on they will firmly re-commit themselves to cultivation in Dafa, treasure this rare opportunity, double their efforts to amend the damage they did to Dafa and follow the Fa-rectification process closely.

Bai Minghua, female, over 50 years old from Huainan City, Anhui Province, was blind from birth. Because she practices Falun Gong, the government detained her and tried to send her to a forced labor camp. The labor camp refused to take her (perhaps because of her disability - translator). To avoid the government's attempts to force her into a brainwashing class in this cold winter weather, she and her daughter and infant granddaughter are living the lives of homeless persons and are wandering about. This three-generation family now cannot go home anymore.

Wang Yi, a young teacher at Beijing's Northern Jiaotong University and a Dafa practitioner was forced out of his home at the end of December 2000. People from the university administration office and from Dazhongsi Police Station jointly monitored his father for a long time. On Septermber 30, 2001, they arrested Wang Yi and sent him to Haidian District's Qinghe Detention Center for torture and persecution. The evil person responsible for this is Xu Ming, phone number 011-86-622-56622 ext. 2770. Jiaotong University's Operator: 011-86-622-56622. One can request connections to other departments. Another operator's number that can connect anyone to the Foreign Language department of the College of Humanities is 011-86-622-56644.

Incidents of Immediate Retribution in this Lifetime

Jiang Yandang is the Party Secretary of the Dongwangfuzhuang Village, Nanchun Township, Pingdu City, Shandong Province. He was involved in ransacking Falun Dafa practitioners' homes, fining and even threatening to kill them. He received retribution when a fire broke out in his house and caused his father to suffer severe burns. The principal of Zongjiabu Elementary School ordered students to paint over or wash off Falun Dafa slogans. He suffered a broken finger when it was slammed into a car door. Jiang Yandang's son recently died in a car accident.

Police in Zoucheng City and Jining City of Shandong Province were involved in atrocities such as illegally detaining and extorting money from Falun Dafa practitioners, forcing practitioners into mental hospitals, and torturing practitioners to death. Their actions have brought disaster to the local people. 60,000 mu (translator's note -- Chinese unit of area which equals 1/15 of a hectare) of farmland were recently destroyed. It takes approximately 10,000 Yuan (translator's note -- approximately 20 months of wages of an average urban worker) to restore one mu of farmland.

A practitioner has experienced profound changes in his mental and physical health since practicing Falun Dafa, convincing his colleagues of the power of Falun Dafa. Some of the colleagues are starting to read Zhuan Falun. When one of them received a phone call from an overseas practitioner, he said immediately, "I know that Falun Dafa is good."

Cultivation Stories

Dozens of practitioners were illegally detained for validating Falun Dafa. On the eve of the New Year, they shouted together in the detention center, "Falun Dafa is good," "Our Teacher is good," "Restore the reputation of our Teacher." In the face of handcuffs, beatings and electric batons, the practitioners succeeded in clarifying the truth to hundreds of detainees who were held there for not carrying proper identification. Some of them have obtained Falun Dafa as a result.

Stories of Several Fellow Practitioners in Detention

A female practitioner from Hunan Province works in the medical field. She unfurled banners supporting Falun Gong many times on Tiananmen Square and was arrested and brutally beaten by the vicious police. She was beaten unconscious in the detention center, then woke up when the policemen were burying her alive. She was dragged back to the center for more tortures. However, even though one of her hands was shackled, she still used the other hand to pass [Dafa] materials to other people. Her lips which validated Dafa could not be sealed.

Big Sister Liu did not give in when being illegally detained, and validated Dafa with righteousness. Her husband went to Beijing many times to protect Dafa. He was persecuted many times and was illegally sent for labor education. Her mother-in-law organizes truth-clarifying materials of Falun Gong, folding them and putting them in boxes. Big Sister Liu and the kids take them, hand them out and put them up along the streets. They have left their footprints in many villages.

Newly wed Younger Sister Liu was arrested for practicing Falun Gong. Her husband and her family still do not know her whereabouts. While in the prison she practices Falun Gong. She was beaten and kicked by the vicious police, and shocked with electric batons. She went on hunger strike many times. The vicious people stepped on her legs, squeezed her neck and her nose, opened her mouth and put a water bottle in it. She still maintained a righteous attitude.

News from Overseas

On November 23, the Norrkopings Tidningar of Switzerland reported that Falun Gong practitioner Magdalina, who went to Tiananmen to appeal, said that the policeman rudely dragged her to the police van, pulled her hair and slapped her in the face. In China there are over 300 Falun Gong practitioners that were killed. She said: "We must appeal to governments of other countries and all the kind people to stop the torture together."
