Descending to the Earthly World

With the turning of Falun there is sure to be madness,

A whole nation's resources drained, working on me.

I quietly observe the buffoon's devilish play dying out,

Only the last vestiges of dirt now blow to and fro.

Five thousand years of reincarnation through shifts and change,

I brush off the enshrouding dust, and all their realities are seen.

Who is really the gallant lead in this gigantic play?

I made this trip just for the sake of sentient beings.

RFA: Article 23 Triggers a Wave of Concern from Chinese People All over the World

(Clearwisdom.net)

Radio Free Asia reported on January 24, 2003 that the implementation of Article 23 of the Basic Law stirred up discontent among many of the people of Hong Kong. Given that the implementation of Article 23 happened only five years after Hong Kong's return to China, it is certain that it was not something the government of Hong Kong wanted. If it weren't for the repeated pressure from Beijing, the government of Hong Kong would by no means make any laws or regulations to restrain the freedom of Hong Kong and its people. Even if the government of Hong Kong originally didn't realize the serious consequences of enacting Article 23, they would have known it through the wave of opposition from Chinese all over the world, foreign democratic governments and civil groups. They should have realized that the implementation of this evil law would have dramatically damaged Honk Kong's position in the international community as the pearl of East Asia.
