Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference

Teacher: Now that I think about it, the last time I sat down at a Fa Conference to answer questions for you was... seems like I haven't done it since July 20 of 1999, right? (Warm applause) (Reply: "Right.") Then today I'll really answer questions for you. (Applause) Things that you've been unable to resolve for long periods of time in your personal cultivation, or in the process of validating Dafa, or those that you've encountered--you can bring up all of them. But the time is still limited, so not everybody's can be answered. But Master will answer them as much as possible. (Applause)

College Student: Even a Good Person Like My Father Has Suffered From the Persecution

I am a college student and son of a persecuted Falun Dafa practitioner. Although I do not practice Falun Gong, I am also being persecuted. My father told me, "As long as you believe that your father is doing something great, I will not have any regret." I believe in my father and I am proud of him. I would like to tell you what I know: in China many good people are being persecuted. I hope that people with a sense of righteousness will offer their helping hands to obtain justice for those Falun Gong practitioners who are being persecuted.

Dafa Practitioner Yan Shanzhong from Luohe City, Henan Province Tortured to Death

(Clearwisdom.net)

Yao Sanzhong, male, 34 years old, was a teacher at the School of Art in Luohe City, Henan Province. He held a bachelor's degree. Because he firmly cultivated Dafa, he was sentenced to 3 years of forced labor by the Luohe City "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) and sent to the Xuchang Forced Labor Camp in Henan Province to be detained. As he firmly refused to give up his belief in Dafa, he was brutally tortured by the evil police there until he was on the verge of death. In order to avoid responsibility, at the end of December 2002, the labor camp had some people carry him away and dump him on the side of a road in another city. Later, his family heard of this and sent him to a hospital for emergency treatment for about a month, at the cost of several thousand Yuan. However, Mr. Yao still passed away in mid January of 2003 in spite of the rescue efforts. At present, the "610 Office" has placed his wife and child under strict surveillance to keep them from exposing their crimes.
