Mother's Unfinished
"Lotus Flower" Painting
(Clearwisdom.net May 24, 2003) Ms. Li Guozhen is our mother. She is 86 years old. In October 1997, together with my sister and I, she began to practice Falun Dafa. She had lived with us for several years before we took up Falun Dafa. Prior to the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Mother went back to China for a visit. Because the brutal persecution has continued on, she has been unable to return to the Netherlands to reunite with us.
Over the past few years, Mother has been arrested and detained multiple times in China, and once she was detained for as long as three months. She is under surveillance around the clock, constantly deprived of her freedom.
The entire family of our second elder brother Wang Kuihe in China are Falun Gong practitioners. Mother has been living with them. Currently, they are still under the police's surveillance. They are also deprived of the right to visit our eldest brother Wang Yuanhe, also a Dafa practitioner in China, who has been illegally imprisoned for more than two years.
In the last four years, my sister and I have been appealing to the Dutch government, people and the international community in the hopes that Mother can return to the Netherlands soon and safely, and that the persecution in China will end. At the same time, we call upon all kind-hearted people to help stop this persecution that should have never taken place.
The photo is an unfinished painting entitled, "Lotus Flower" that Mother had painted and left for us prior to her return to China.
