Changchun City Cable Television Network Broadcasts the Truth of Falun Gong - A Breakthrough That Reverberates Throughout the World
Who is afraid of 'broadcasting' the truth? The heroic act of several practitioners in Changchun City is the first lightning that lacerates the heavy dark clouds. The truth will spread like wild fire-- people who have learned the truth will pass it on to others. The evil thrives on suppressed truth and in people believing its lies. When the truth is revealed and crimes are exposed, evil will meets its doom. All kind hearted and righteous people, it is now the time to break down the blockade by clarifying the truth.
After Changchun City Cable Television Network broadcast the Falun Gong truth-clarifying programs on March 5, Jiang initiated the illegal order to "Kill Falun Gong practitioners without mercy." Regions across China are reportedly compiling lists of specific Falun Gong practitioners to execute, following Jiang's command. Such flagrant state terrorism is not only the massacre of the Chinese people, but also attacks the principles of "truthfulness- benevolence- forbearance." We must stop Jiang's massacre of Falun Gong immediately!
Changchun Daily website disclosed on March 8 the news coverage of the truth-clarifying broadcast by the Cable Television Network. It admitted that on the evening of March 5, a "Falun Gong" film appeared twice on the Cable Television Network's programs in four districts in Changchun.
The people who have broadcast the truth of Falun Gong to the millions of viewers through the Changchun City Cable Television Network are saints in the human world. You were fully aware of the consequence of doing this, but you were strong enough to move forward. You have safeguarded the truth of the whole universe! The splendor of this moment is reverberated throughout the cosmos, the moment that Falun Dafa practitioners have let go of life and death will be remembered forever.
Media Reports
On March 7, the Japanese Business and Financial News reported that the Changchun City Cable Television Network's program was intercepted by a Falun Gong program for nearly 50 minutes on March 5. The number of the contract households of the Cable Television Network in Changchun City is about 270,000. March 5 was also the day of the opening of the fifth meeting of the Chinese Ninth National People's Congress.
Voice of America, in its March 7th report, relates that the Chinese police authorities arrested seven foreign Falun Gong practitioners for staging a brief demonstration in Tiananmen Square against Beijing's persecution of the cultivation group, and among them are at least three Australians. The protest was near Beijing's Great Hall of the People where China's Congress was holding its session. In the last month alone, China expelled more than 50 Westerners who held similar protest activities.
In the Central News Agency's March 6th report we are told that the Chinese government intensified its persecution, and gun-toting police fired on Falun Gong practitioners in Anshan City, Liaoning Province and Mishan City, Heilongjiang Province. Before the Chinese New Year, Changchun City Police Department personnel launched several rounds of "search and arrest" of Dafa practitioners. The police had received an order that states: "When Falun Gong practitioners are seen posting flyers or hanging up banners, it is permissable to 'shoot to kill' on the spot."
The Central News Agency's March 5th special dispatch reported: the first historic Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Meeting was held in Jakarta, Indonesia on March 2, 2002. The State Governor of Jakarta sent a representative to deliver a speech in which he pointed out that Indonesia respects human rights, supports freedom of belief and advocates that people of different belief systems can live together in peace and harmony. He also expressed his belief and admiration towards Falun Dafa, and support for Falun Dafa.
On February 22, the Taiwanese Freedom Times published an article entitled "Bush, China and Falun Gong," which introduced Falun Gong and exposed the truth about the Chinese government's persecution of Falun Gong. It called for help for the suffering Falun Gong practitioners who are waiting for understanding and support from those people around the world who love peace and respect human rights.
New Climate in the Fa Rectification
"The Buddha light illuminates everywhere," [Teacher's poem collection Hong Yin] and the clouds are cleared out. The sister of a Dafa practitioner is in charge of an elementary school. With her sister's effort she learned about the truth. Once, the school held a "ten-thousand people signature drive" during which students were forced to sign a Dafa slandering document. This lady went to see the school party secretary and said, "Our responsibility is not to get the children involved in politics; getting them involved in politics is not good!" The secretary immediately said, "Yes, yes. Please immediately notify the other schools and tell them not to bring their kids over to sign." Several hundred children escaped a great catastrophe in their lives.
A fellow practitioner was posting truth-clarifying flyers when several children playing nearby ran after her and shouted, "Get her!" She was lucky because she ran fast and the children didn't catch her. How malicious are those who follow the orders of China's dictator and his minions! They even poison the minds of little children! During our in-depth, comprehensive and thorough truth-clarification to the Chinese people, don't overlook the children! We should consider the children as important as the adults. Many children came to obtain the Fa, so how can we ignore them?

His personality has changed a lot too, and he no longer lies to me. He acts more responsibly towards our family.
