News and Activities Around the World

Reference: By April 15, there have been 61 deaths from SARS in Hong Kong. When SARS was identified last November in Guangdong Province, the government tried hard to cover up the facts. Hong Kong officials also learned from Beijing how to cover up the truth. Many viruses have been exported from China through Hong Kong, which has been crowned the chief culprit by the WHO. Other regions mistreat people in Hong Kong, and now they are taking the blame for Tung Chee-hwa (Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) and the ruling Party in China.

The Truth and People's Hearts

I was very lucky in March 1999 when I learned Falun Dafa by chance. I felt my body become so light that it seemed like I was reborn. My physical sicknesses and mental stress were all gone. My mother-in-law and family continued creating conflicts in my life, but I forgave them from the bottom of my heart. I now take care of my mother-in-law without any discontent or hatred, and I treat my brother-in-law and sister-in-law kindly. I have my own business now. My business is doing very well when everyone else's is not so good. People who know me said Falun Dafa cultivators are truly blessed! I said this is all because of the power of Dafa!

I had a colectomy operation in 1984. As a result, I had a severe case of intestinal adhesion. I had to use drugs to sustain my life. I suffered like this for twelve years. I was lucky to obtain the Fa in 1996. My sicknesses disappeared naturally, including other problems I had. I felt so light without any sickness. On July 20, 1999, Falun Dafa began being persecuted, and I lost my cultivation environment. Master has been slandered, and Dafa has been slandered. My home was searched, my ID was taken away, and my exercise music tape and Dafa materials were all taken away by the police. Police often come to my home to threaten me, and harass me day and night. They have made a large amount of trouble for me.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "A Plum Blossom on the Path of Fa-Rectification"

There is a fellow female practitioner Meihua in my county who is a farmer. She never puts off spreading the Fa or clarifying the truth no matter how busy she is in the field. She had to become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being unjustly arrested at home last year. But she still joins in the mission of Fa-rectification. She walked through seven townships, which contain dozens of villages. She posted truth materials on the gates and walls of local police stations, and even inside the station yards. Once Meihua and her fellow practitioner were hanging banners along the road. Police found them and chased them frantically with motorcycles. The two practitioners quickly lied down. The lights from the police motor cycles swept across their bodies many times, but the police could not see them. Another time Meihua clarified the truth at her relative's wedding party. More than 200 people learned the truth. Meihua posted the list of villains who persecute Dafa all over my county seat, and even posted one in the evil police station. Her act of safeguarding Dafa powerfully shook the evil, and the director of that police station took three months of sick leave.

News from China

I was only a fifteen-year-old girl when I obtained the Fa. From when I was fifteen until now, I have been arrested five times. I was deprived of the right to enter a good university which I qualified for. I had to go to a regular college. I was dismissed from my school because of spreading Falun Dafa, and they unjustly sent me to a labor camp. Under mental and physical torture, I did what a Dafa disciple should never do, and signed my name when my mind was not clear. After my mind was clear, I wrote a solemn declaration, that I would still firmly cultivate Dafa. It was Master who gave me another chance to do well, save more sentient beings, and fulfill our grand vow made before history.

The following is an excerpt from the article "CCTV Serves China or Iraq?"

During the war in Iraq, CCTV editors searched through the world's media everyday for any sentence that does not favor the coalition forces, then repeatedly broadcasts them in front of over a billion Chinese viewers. There have been dozens or even more than a hundred reports everyday which exaggerate the difficulties faced by the American forces or defame American forces. Those military or international affairs experts that CCTV invited could not hide their enthusiasm about having contributed to Saddam's dictatorship. It appears as if they were the "Chinese Brain of Saddam." The Iraqi Information Minister al-Sahhaf, a hero in the eyes of CCTV's editors, tried with all his might to deceive the world's media and their own people. This is not a surprise because he is one of Saddam's men. But his lies have become the centerpiece of CCTV's focus news. The hosts repeat his words several tens of times everyday. People cannot help but ask, is CCTV a Chinese television station or Iraqi?
