Why I appeal in front of the Toronto Chinese Consulate

August 17, 2001

My name is Jin Ye, and I am 14 years old. I will soon be in grade 9. I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 5 years.

I've benefited very much from Falun Dafa. It has cured my hepatitis C, and has also taught me how to be a good person in society. My aunt had been fired because she went to appeal in Beijing, and my uncle was just released after 8-month of detention. I need to tell the truth to the society, that Falun Dafa is good.

So I told mom and dad that I would like to use a whole month of my summer holiday to sit in front of the Chinese Consulate to appeal to the Chinese Government to stop its brutal persecution. I will sit every day of August for 9 hours each day.

I would like to tell the Chinese Consulate that Falun Dafa is good. Its principle of truth-compassion-tolerance is beneficial to everyone in the world.

I hope all kind-hearted Canadians will know that Falun Dafa does no harm to anybody or any country, I hope the Canadian Government can help us stop the crisis happening now in China.

Recently, the Chinese Consulate has turned on the sprinklers in the morning. Every day we had to practice in pouring water. I think the reason why they put the sprinklers on is because they don't wish us to practice there. However, I think we should continue.

In China, many practitioners stepped out bravely to peacefully appeal to the Government that it is wrong to persecute Falun Dafa. I think we should sacrifice a bit in order to raise the awareness of all kind-hearted people. I hope what I did will persuade the Chinese Government to stop the torture of good people.
