Gigantic parade supports 10 million people resigning from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The parade was ten blocks long and drew tremendous attention.

(Clearwisdom.net) A parade of more than 1200 people in Washington D.C. supported the wave of over 10 million people who have resigned from the CCP. The parade was held on the afternoon of April 19, 2006, and was organized by the Global Service Center of Quitting the CCP. The parade covered 10 blocks around the the White House and drew tremendous attention. A rally was held in McPherson Square after the parade. People attending the rally condemned the atrocities of live-harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs by the CCP and called for investigation of Chinese forced labor camps and end of persecution of Falun Gong.

Collapse of CCP Imminent as the Number of Withdrawals Reaches 10 Million

Rally in support of 10 million people resigning from the CCP.

Dr. Li Dayong, Chair of Global Service Center of Quitting of the CCP and Chair of Global Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice, said at the rally that the people who had quit the CCP were from all walks of life. They were workers, farmers, policemen, lawyers, officials, athletes and even soldiers, CCP agents and national security staff. A big proportion of Chinese have realized the evil nature of the CCP. The CCP can no longer stop its imminent demise.

Dr. Li thanked more than 100 branches of the Global Service Center of Quitting the CCP and thousands and thousands of volunteers for their dedicated service. They provide venues for the Chinese to quit the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Youth Pioneer League through phone, fax, TV and the Internet.

Bring Murderers to Justice

Ms. Guo Jun, Chief Editor of the Epoch Times, played a voice recording of the witness' testimony about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, representative of World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, played recorded audio evidence found through investigation. His organization found more than one hundred hospitals in 22 Chinese provinces engaged in making profit from harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs for transplant.

Michael Horowitz, Director of the Hudson Institute's Project on Civil Justice Reform and Project on International Religious Liberty

Michael Horowitz, Director of the Hudson Institute's Project on Civil Justice Reform and Project on International Religious Liberty, happened to pass the rally and gave an extemporaneous speech. He said on hearing the news about the CCP's live-harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners' organs, he swore to not let it go until the murderers were brought to justice. They would have to be punished. Dr. Horowitz put on a yellow T-shirt printed with "Falun Dafa Is Good." He said he wished to testify to the world about the misery of Falun Gong practitioners.

Executive Director of Worldrights Mr. Timothy Cooper said the CCP had three weeks to destroy evidence after the news of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs was publicized internationally before they responded. If the international community treats the charge seriously, an unrestricted investigation of any detention center or forced labor camp at any time should be insisted upon. It is the only effective way to find the truth. Mr. Cooper called for random investigation by the international community to stop the atrocities, like the investigations conducted by international nuclear regulatory bodies.

Mr. Zhao Zhangji, Chairman of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG), said having paid close attention to the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP in the past seven years, CIPFG called for the international community to join the investigation team to make independent, direct and unrestricted investigation in Chinese forced labor camps, jails, detention centers and hospitals. He hoped the international community would see clearly the trick of transferring victims by the CCP and focus on forced labor camps, jails and other facilities where Falun Gong practitioners are imprisoned.

Seven Years of Persecution Undeniable

On behalf of seven Falun Dafa Associations in the U.S., Dr. Wei Pengfei said the CCP fears Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. They destroyed evidence in Sujiatun out of fear, because they knew the crime of the persecution in the past seven years had been monstrous. They could destroy evidence in all concentration camps. They could turn all forced labor camps to gardens, but more than 40,000 documented bloody cases of the persecution in the past seven years, together with the testimony of witnesses who had stepped out, could never be covered up.

Falun Gong practitioners on a street close to the White House.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of April 19, 2006, Head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Hu Jintao arrived in Washington D.C. To protest against and condemn the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP and to call for the end of the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners unfolded banners at all street crossings around the White House that Hu had to pass. Their banners stated in both Chinese and English, "Falun Dafa Is Good!" "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." "Bring Jiang, Luo, Liu and Zhou to Justice." "Bring Police Persecutors to Justice." "Call for Complete Investigation of Chinese Forced Labor Camps and Jails." "Immediately Stop Live-Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners' Organs." "The CCP Is Doomed." "Support 10 Million People Quitting CCP."

Truth-Clarification to "Welcome Crew"

Falun Gong practitioners met the "welcome crew" hired by the CCP Embassy at the west street crossing behind the White House. Although Falun Gong practitioners had positioned themselves, the "welcome crew" tried all means to block Falun Gong banners and display boards with their blood-red flags. However, it didn't seem to work well. Falun Gong banners still stood out.

Falun Gong practitioners and the Chinese in the "welcome crew" stood next to each other. Many practitioners took the opportunity to clarify the truth to the "welcome crew." Ms. Wang came all the way from the U.K. She said, "Many Chinese asked me if what the display boards said was true. I could tell many of them had sympathy when I told them about the persecution."

Mr. Yang, a Falun Gong practitioner from Canada, told his fellow Chinese in deep and peaceful voice through a speaker, "The Chinese nation has five thousand years of splendid culture. The Chinese Communist Party is no equivalent of China. We love China as much as you do. But we don't love the Communist Party. Countless Chinese have been killed during the dozens of years of CCP's ruling. The CCP doesn't represent China in any way. We all hope that China will do well and Chinese people will prosper. China would have been better without the CCP and dozens of years of its political movements. We sincerely ask you to quit the CCP if you are a member. Leave yourself a route of retreat. You will witness the CCP collapse pretty soon."

Mr. Yang added, "We have the freedom of expressing ourselves here, but we can't do the same thing in China, not even have the freedom of belief. Didn't we leave China to look for freedom and better life? Why can't we go back to our motherland to enjoy freedom?" All Chinese listened quietly.

Ms. Zhao, a Falun Gong practitioner from Virginia, stood across the street. When Falun Gong practitioners shouted, "CCP is a party of corruption. CCP is a party of murder. CCP is a party of hooligans..." Ms. Zhao asked a member in the "welcome crew", "Don't you think every word is true?" The member of "welcome crew" couldn't say a word, but kept nodding. Ms. Zhao said, "You can shout Falun Gong Is Good with us." He said, "Can I say it silently?" Ms. Zhao replied, "Yes, it is the same thing. It will bring you and your family reward." He nodded quietly and wiped his eyes in tears.

Falun Gong practitioners played a recording of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to their fellow Chinese at every street crossing. The peaceful but powerful voice pierced the sky. The listeners were shaken. They played some revolutionary songs and shouted slogans at first. But then they all concentrated on listening.

A Call for Justice

Hu Jintao's motorcade passed the street crossing east of the White House around 10:15 pm. No "welcome crew" was found at this crossing and the crossing at Lafayette Park, which they also passed. Dozens of huge Falun Gong banners stood out. Falun Gong practitioners shouted to the motorcade again and again, "Falun Dafa Is Good!" "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." "The CCP Is Doomed."...

Hu must have seen the banners and heard the cries clearly when he passed and when he got out of the car.

The "welcome crew" at crossing west of the White House turned around. Their blood-red flags ended up being behind Falun Gong practitioners' banners. Their welcome slogans were lost in Falun Gong practitioners' voice.

A practitioner from New York, Mr. Wei said, "We hope Hu Jintao will treasure his opportunity. So many Falun Gong practitioners have died from the persecution! It has been so long! He should have realized it. We hope he will be able to tell the right and the wrong, give up his illusion about the CCP and choose the right path."

The "welcome crew" was quickly dismissed. Something dramatic happened at this time. The police moved the security bars back by a dozen meters. Falun Gong practitioners were able to get closer. They called neatly, clearly and loudly. Their compassionate voice penetrated the dark sky, shaking everyone's heart. Falun Gong practitioners shouted for more than a half hour and sent forth righteous thought before they left.

Many local Falun Gong practitioners stay overnight to send forth righteous thought with pure mind to eliminate the evil in other dimensions.

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 16 2006, in simultaneous actions in nine countries of the Asian Pacific area, Falun Gong practitioners from Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Hiroshima and Fukuoka rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate in Fukuoka, protesting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocity in forced labor camps and calling for an urgent investigation by the international community.

Falun Gong practitioners protest CCP's atrocity and call for international community awareness

Many people and cars passed by the rally. Some of them came to ask for more details, read the display boards and take the flyers. When they learned that the Chinese Communist Party jailed good people who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and harvest their organs to sell for profit, they were very shocked and angry. Many asked how they can help to stop this Fascist atrocity.

A news agency reporter came to the rally. After he learned the truth about the forced labor camps, he wished to join the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong" (CIPFG).

An official from the local police office came to learn more about CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. He said he disliked the CCP's behaviors. He bought a book "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party" and said he wanted to read it.

A protesting Falun Gong practitioner said that all kindhearted people dislike the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. When the truth is fully exposed to the world, the Chinese Communist Party will collapse. He wishes that those people who are still assisting the CCP to persecute Falun Gong will stop immediately and expose the CCP's atrocity to save themselves. He also urged those people who have evidence to step up and choose a bright future.

(Clearwisdom.net) Many Falun Gong practitioners in Germany wrote letters to their elected representatives to tell them the truth of the concentration camps, and to ask for their help to perform a complete investigation into facilities where practitioners have been incarcerated and to help stop the genocide of Falun Gong.

In the past few weeks the practitioners received many replies from their Members of Parliament. The MPs condemned the persecution of Falun Gong and the violations of basic human rights. Various political parties in Germany all confirmed the respect for human rights and the efforts for improving human rights in China.

An MP in Southern Germany wrote: "The realization of global basic human rights is an important humane foundation of German foreign trade. Improving human rights and setting up human rights organizations is very important to the German government. Thus, the German government pays a great deal of attention to the human rights situation in China. The incident you mentioned in the letter is intolerable and should be subject to the most severe punishment."

Meanwhile, an MP of the German Green Party enumerated several recent moves taken by the Green Party to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. The letter pointed out the Green Party is very clear the CCP government is capable of doing anything in order to persecute Falun Gong. However, no concession can be made on the issue of human rights. The pursuit of economic development alone can not improve human rights situation.

An MP from Bavaria said that the existence of secret concentration camps is shocking. He assured the practitioners and said that the police and constitutional protection committee will guarantee the safety of people living in Bavaria and encouraged practitioners to continue the rescue efforts.

(Clearwisdom.net) One of six "US SOS Urgent Rescue Car Tour Teams" bound for Washington DC passed by Philadelphia and Wilmington on April 17, 2006. The team began their journey in Boston. The car tour team and local practitioners in Philadelphia called on the US government and people to pay attention to the atrocities in China. A dozen local practitioners joined the car tour team in the final leg to Washington DC.

At 4:30 p.m., the team arrived at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Banners were hung on the car and worded "Stop persecution of Falun Gong, The most brutal killing in 21^st century, CCP kills 80 million Chinese people in its 50 years control, please read Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.

At a press conference, Ms. Joy from Boston said that they started at 6 a.m. from Boston and held press conferences on the way to protest the seven-year long persecution of Falun Gong. She said, "My father teaches in Department of Biology in Qinghua University. He was not surprised after hearing live organ removal. His department often harvests organs from prisoners to conduct experiments. They don't care who the prisoners are. In China there are no human rights or dignity. Who cares whether Falun Gong practitioners are tortured to death for their belief in Truth, Compassion, Tolerance?" She said it was because of CCP's brainwashing for many years that made his father and others lose the basic conscience.

Passers-by stopped to learn the facts after seeing the banner worded "Chinese labor camp revealed! Organ removal from live Falun Gong practitioners". A lady tourist named Nancy was shocked and said, "There is nothing more cruel than this! Is it the same as Nazi's holocaust?" His husband took photos of the scene.

At 6 p.m., the car tour team reached Wilmington and held another press conference. Local people were shocked too. A group of high school students stopped playing. One of the students said, "This is too horrible. This is like the Nazis! I'll tell my friends." Another man said after reading the handouts, "How come such a horrible thing happens? What is their government doing?" A lady working in a nearby bank said, "This is too horrible. We feel sorrow. In today's world there is such totalitarian regime. I don't understand why our government still does business with such regime."

Several congress representatives from Pennsylvania co-signed a letter to President Bush urging him to demand Hu Jiatao to allow investigation of all labor camps and prisons and stop persecution of Falun Gong immediately.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 13, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners exposed the atrocities occurring in CCP forced labor camps and concentration camps. They distributed flyers and held up banners and display boards on Low Plaza at Columbia University.

It rained off and on, but passersby stopped to find out about the persecution when they saw the banners. Five hundred flyers were distributed in two hours, so practitioners prepared new flyers and continued to distribute them until evening.

People stopped to find about the persecution.

(Clearwisdom.net) On behalf of all the Turkish Falun Gong practitioners, the Turkish Falun Gong Association recently sent a petition to the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) to expose the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities of persecution and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in over thirty concentration camps. The petition called on the Turkish authorities concerned to help put an end to the cruel persecution and reckless killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China, which has lasted for over seven years.

On April 4th, 2006, Mr. Mehmet Elkatmis, senior member of the TGNA and chairman of the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the TGNA, signed a reply letter in person to explicitly express the Committee's strong condemnation of the Chinese regime's atrocities. The following is the translation of the text of the reply letter:

Letter of the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Date: April 4th 2006.

Dear Ms. Goldring and Mr. Kocman of the Falun Gong Association:

With regard to the petition addressed to this Committee, in which you explained that Falun Gong is illegally banned in China and the fact that Falun Gong practitioners are being cruelly tortured and persecuted in China, this Committee has fully reviewed your appeal.

According to the international human rights convention, cruel torture and abuse are absolutely prohibited, and these inhuman deeds are entirely unacceptable. Around the world, no matter where it is, this kind of cruel torture and abuse are crimes against humanity. This Committee therefore strongly condemns the behaviours of cruel torture and abuse against Falun Gong practitioners.

Sincerely,

Mehmet Elkatmis.

Chairman
The Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly
Member of the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Nevsehir City

(Clearwisdom.net) On Good Friday in Brno another event to support Falun Gong practitioners in China took place.

Falun Gong is practised freely throughout the world, Falun Gong founder Mr. Li Hongzhi has received recognition and many awards from the governments in many countries. On the contrary, people who practise Falun Gong in China are severely persecuted. The cruel methods used by the communist government aimed at destroying these innocent people are beyond imagination.

Even though the communist regime is trying hard to cover up all the evidence of its atrocities, some information has come out, however, things which are shocking and unbelievable.

Recently, people have learned the truth about the many concentration camps in China from which no one has escaped alive.

People who are detained in such camps are considered as nothing more than raw material. Organs are taken from live prisoners and they are still alive in most cases. Organs are then being sold for profit. After the operation the body is thrown into an incinerator in the nearby crematorium to destroy all evidence.

The people of Brno learned this truth on Good Friday's event and many of them were deeply moved. Nazi concentration camps are still in the minds of the Czech people.

It was obvious to some of the gypsy population. These people with the first mention of the atrocities of the Chinese concentration camps ran to sign the petition. One older man when he heard about it shouted: "No, No, Nobody can do this. This cannot be happening." while moving to the petition table. One elderly woman was very moved when practitioners where explaining the facts to her about the organs being removed and the persecution of Falun Gong in China. She couldn't read or write but her strong expression of support showed her good heart.

History is repeating itself yet again in another country, with a regime which is different but its cruelty is just the same.

Falun Gong practitioners who participated in the hunger strike protest distributed several thousand flyers with information about the concentration camps in China and also material about the Nine Commentaries and Chinese people leaving the communist party. Many people decided to help with their signature to stop the atrocities in the concentration camps. At the end of the activities there were close to three hundred more signatures on the petition calling for an investigation of these crimes in China.

We thank from our hearts all the people who gave us support and expressed their sympathy. They have created their own bright future.

(Clearwisdom.net) If a murder were reported to the police, would the police wait until the murderer invited them to his home three weeks later to investigate? Would you expect such an investigation to yield any murder weapon or evidence?

Three weeks after the news that the Chinese Communist Party has been harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit, officials from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and the consulate in Shenyang visited the scene of the crime in Sujiatun on an investigation tour arranged by the CCP. Naturally, no evidence of the organ harvesting was found.

Photo: In spring 2001, before the International Olympics Committee arrived in Beijing to evaluate the city's qualification to host the Olympic Games, the CCP ordered dried up grass to be spray-painted green to improve Beijing's appearance.

The CCP had three weeks to move and destroy witnesses and evidence. The tour was arranged by the CCP. How could such an "investigation" be of any use? The CCP has a long history of lies covering up its murderous actions, from the Great Leap Forward in the 1950s to SARS in 2004. They even went so far as to paint grass green in public parks to cover up the truth and deceive Olympic officials visiting Beijing. When such an experienced liar arranges a tour, the investigators may unwittingly become pawns in the murderer's hand.

The organ harvesting exposed at Sujiatun was only the tip of the iceberg. The brutal persecution of Falun Gong in the last seven years in all the labor camps, prisons, brainwashing sessions, and mental hospitals, are the iceberg under the surface. The tip of the iceberg cannot exist without the iceberg. Hiding the tip also does not mean the iceberg never existed or has disappeared.

Three weeks have passed since the news broke that the CCP has orchestrated organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. The investigators should not merely follow the CCP's arrangements and try to collect evidence after the fact. Instead, they should demand that the CCP allow them to visit and independently investigate all labor camps, prisons, brainwashing centers, mental hospitals, and other facilities where Falun Gong practitioners are or have been detained. Such an investigation would be responsible and credible.

In June 1944, the Nazis permitted the Red Cross to tour the Theresienstadt concentration camp. The concentration camp was dressed up as a peaceful, beautiful community with cafes and shops. The international community was deceived. Today, the CCP, which is even more brutal and devious than the Nazis, has set up the same trap. The international community, media, and governments of various countries should not repeat its mistake.

The Falun Dafa Association and Clearwisdom.net have founded a "Committee to Investigate the Facts," requesting a comprehensive, independent investigation on the CCP's persecution against Falun Gong for the last seven years in the locations where the practitioners were detained. We welcome international organizations, including representatives from the United States government, to join this committee, and to join us in truly investigating the CCP's crimes.

(Clearwisdom.net) (Minghui correspondent report) The Chinese Communist regime kept silent for three weeks before they invited a foreign international agency to investigate Sujiatun. A foreign news agency recently reported that the American officials stationed in the Beijing and Shenyang Embassies visited the Sujiatun facility with a permit from the Communist regime, and did not find any incriminating evidence.

Many people who understand the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) stated that they were not surprised at the results arranged by the Communist regime. Mr. Lin Mu, the secretary for former president Hu Yaobang, on being interviewed by reporters abroad, said the following: "It is most likely they will move the concentration camp. You will find no evidence when you come to visit. Three weeks is enough time to move the concentration camp and to destroy evidence, but if you start to investigate across China, you will find more problems."

Yan Peng, who is a member for China's democratic movement responded by saying, "There is evil that people cannot imagine but there is no evil which Communist China cannot commit. Anything can happen under the Chinese Communist regime. Three weeks is enough time to destroy all the incriminating evidence, and if it never happened, why didn't they invite international groups and personnel to investigate this allegation at the very beginning? Why wait three weeks to deny the allegation? Why issue a permit for a visit now? The credibility and the results of this investigation are not satisfactory."

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Peng stated that deceit and fabrication are the sort of tricks consistently used by the CCP. It is meaningless to visit and to investigate under this type of an arrangement. The Falun Dafa Association and the Minghui/Clearwisdom website founded the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG). CIPFG has demanded a thorough investigation of the truth of the persecution in all labor camps, prisons and related hospitals and facilities in order to truly expose the persecution behind the cover-up.

Ms. Peng also expressed her serious concerns about the fate of the Falun Gong practitioners who were transferred out of Sujiatun. On April 6, the Clearwisdom website sent an urgent public announcement stating: "Within three weeks, the underground concentration camp in Sujiatun was quickly relocated. Meanwhile, some hospitals and transplant centers in China are rushing to perform a large number of transplant operations: A slaughter to destroy witnesses/victims of the concentration camps is happening..." The purpose is to eliminate the human testimony and witnesses. A patient from Taiwan called the military hospital in Guangzhou within the last two days and inquired about a kidney transplant. The doctor's reply was, "Hurry, hurry, we have kidneys and livers and we can do both transplants at the same time. We will have several rounds of supplies before May 1. I am doing the transplant surgeries daily, I still have three transplants to do after 3:00 p.m. today. I am fully booked tomorrow and the day after, you have to wait until next Monday if you want to do the surgery." The doctor also mentioned that they have a "warehouse" of organs with all blood and tissue types.

Ms. Peng hopes that people from all walks of life won't be deceived by the CCP and be manipulated to deceive the international community. She urges people to pay close attention to this event and help the CIPFG enter China and launch an independent investigation.

(Clearwisdom.net) Martin fell asleep and the things in his hands fell down.

Yes, he was tired. He rushed to Washington DC from Germany. At 7 a.m., he and other Falun Gong practitioners from Germany and Austria stood in front of a metro station in the rain before people went to work. They held banners, sent forth righteous thoughts and distributed truth-clarification materials. When passengers became fewer, the group of practitioners went to a US government building, held banners and distributed handouts to government staff during lunch hour. After the lunch hour, they returned to the metro station for passengers during rush hour. After these activities, he sat down and fell to asleep.

Martin and Falun Gong practitioners across the world are acting quickly. The news from China is so urgent. The CCP transfers Falun Gong practitioners from concentration camps to labor camps, prisons and hospitals, trying to hide their quiet and secret genocide. These practitioners being imprisoned are regarded as "live organ donors" and face the danger of live organ removal and cremation of their bodies to destroy evidence. As confirmed by World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, main hospitals and organ transplantation centers in China are hurrying to conduct large scale organ transplantation. In fact, the practitioners imprisoned and eyewitnesses are probably being slaughtered.

Falun Gong practitioner (first left) explains the fact to passers-by in metro station

Practitioners around the world work hard to expose the CCP's atrocities. The head of the CCP is now visiting the US. Practitioners are holding large activities in Washington DC. Many practitioners like Martin arrived early and hoped to help American people, government and congressional representatives learn the urgency of the issue. Many practitioners visited offices of congressional representatives, VIP and media. Some senior ladies don't speak English, but they visited VIP offices with young practitioners. With their righteous thoughts and actions and their personal experience of suffering CCP's persecution, they explained the fact to officials and staff. It was moving.

Practitioners who did not visit VIPs held banners and distributed handouts in metro stations and parks crowded with people. In the afternoon, it was sunny and many people accepted practitioners' handouts. In front of US State Department, a member of Chinese delegation had a photo taken in front of banners and said to the practitioners, "What you are doing is important." Another official seemed he was well informed and wished practitioners good luck.

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhao Yuqin, 53, from Dadong District in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province had been illegally arrested, detained and sent to brainwashing centers for repeated persecution by personnel of the wicked Chinese Communist Party. She was forced to become destitute and homeless to avoid arrest. After enduring years of harassment, surveillance and persecution for a long time, Zhao Yuqin died on February 24, 2006.

Zhao Yuqin had contracted a blood disease long ago. Before her retirement, she worked in the health clinic of Shenyang Ceramics Factory and was constantly exposed to radioactive rays. This work seriously damaged her body and she could not work or live normally. Not long after practicing Falun Dafa, her illness vanished completely. After her body was restored to health, she returned to her work post.

After July 1999, when the wicked Party started persecuting Falun Gong, Ms. Zhao Yuqin went to Beijing in October to appeal and clarify the facts. She was arrested, detained and sent to brainwashing centers. She was persecuted this way five times. In December 2001, she was arrested by officers from the local police station and sent to Shenyang Sitaizi for a detention of 15 days.

In August 2002, Ms. Zhao Yuqin was captured by lawless personnel of the local police station and taken to Beida camp brainwashing center. Later she walked out with her righteous thoughts and had little choice but to become homeless to avoid being arrested again. In July 2003, the local police station, in conspiracy with the neighborhood administration office, again sent officers to her home to arrest her. She jumped out from the second floor window of her home. After that she was destitute and homeless for half a year.

In December 2003, Zhao Yuqin once again was sent to Shenyang Zhangshi brainwashing center.

Because of years of harassment, surveillance and persecution from the lawless officials of the wicked Party, Ms. Zhao Yuqin's body and mind suffered enormous damage. As a result of the relentless persecution, Zhao Yuqin died on February 24, 2006.

(Clearwisdom.net) Nanmusi Women's Labor Camp officials in Zizhong, Sichuan Province (telephone: 86-832-5212050) have rampantly persecuted Falun Gong practitioners for a long time.

I was illegally imprisoned in Nanmusi Women's Labor Camp twice and recently released. Hereby I am exposing its persecution to the world and hope all kind-hearted people will condemn this 21st century atrocity that was and is still happening in the Chinese Communist Party's so-called "harmonious society." Highlighted below are some of the indecencies, humiliations, abuses and torment the Falun Gong practitioners were subjected to in the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp:

The guards forced drug addicts to remove the clothes from Falun Gong practitioners who refused to be "reformed" and doused them with cold water from head to toe in the cold winter. The practitioners were trembling from the cold. Other tortures include forcing them to drink a lot of cold water but forbidding restroom use; hitting practitioners with a iron clothes rack until they bled; burning the private parts with cigarette butts, inserting toothbrushes into the vagina. This was happening every day.

Falun Gong practitioners were mainly detained in the fourth and seventh teams. At present, the seventh division has more than 50 people while the fourth team has more than 40 people. The seventh team was more vicious. The original seventh team head Zhang Xiaofang's evil conduct was disclosed many times by the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. Later Li Qi became the head. Now it is Ren Fengming. Deputy head Wu Yunhui, political head Wang Hongmei, and guards Liao Jueru, Lan Xiumin and Liu Daocui, are all directly involved in torturing practitioners or even murdering practitioners. The guards forced drug addicts to carry out the persecution of Dafa practitioners.

The guards would tie up practitioners at any time and forbid them to rest at night or deprive them of sleep for a long time. Prohibiting restroom use was even worse. If Dafa practitioners' endurance reached the limit and they were compelled to relieve themselves into their clothing, the drug addicts would throw the excrement onto the practitioner's head, body and bed. Furthermore, practitioners' miserable cries from brutal beating and torture can be heard every night.

The guards handed the steadfast practitioners to drug addicts and said wickedly, "You have to 'convert' her today." Under the threat from the guards and with the temptation for rewards and term reductions, these criminals used all manner of ruthless methods to persecute Dafa practitioners. These drug addicts are called "personal cangues" and all are vicious persons the guards had chosen. The seventh team's most virulent "personal cangues" are Li Jing (From Qu County), Song Yimei (from Yibin), Yang Huali (from Shifang). The methods they used to torture Dafa practitioners are sinister and ruthless. The pain and suffering of these tortures was worse than death. These drug addicts are never lenient. In addition, Xu Zheng (from Mianyang), Yu Tingting (from Xichang), Ye Yuhan (from Shifang), Mai Zhonglian (from Xichang) are all ruthless hatchet men who inhumanly abuse Dafa practitioners.

Because Dafa practitioners upheld the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance everywhere and at every moment, they didn't complain or show hatred when humiliated and were kind all the times, many "personal cangues" were moved. Whenever the guards discovered which "personal cangue" was sympathetic toward Dafa practitioners, that "personal cangue" would be immediately transferred to another team that had a much more intense workload. Therefore, any "personal cangue" didn't dare to be lenient in their abuse of practitioners. The more violent they were, the more reward and appreciation they got from the guards.

Under the intense pressure and with no justice in sight, many people suffered a mental collapse. I knew five persons who suffered a mental collapse. They are Ye Peiqi, Yang Shaopei, Yang Hongying, Tong Guiqin and one anonymous. One steadfast practitioner, Lu Yanfei, was a former women's director from Leshan City in Sichuan Province who had been named as national top ten women heroine. She was illegally sentenced to forced labor. She is still confined in solitary confinement in the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp. Because she refused to give up Falun Dafa, she had experienced all the tortures mentioned above. I once saw in person that she was beaten by more than 20 drug addicts. She was beaten by a "personal cangue" named Lin Yan (from Ziyang). She is now disfigured and has suffered a mental collapse from torture; however, the torture continues.

Dafa practitioner Gong Xincan from Shifang could not endure the inhuman suffering and torture; she jumped from fourth level in the seventh team's buildings, but survived. (Note: suicide and self-mutilation are not in line with Dafa teachings) Her forehead hit the ground first and led to a brain injury. After the guards sent her to the hospital for rescue, she was still in danger. Being afraid to take on the responsibility, the guards called her family member to take her back. Internally they just said that she was careless and fell. Dafa practitioner Luo Biqiong from Nanchong was also unable to endure the suffering and jumped from the fourth floor. She had a broken back and injured foot. After a two-month treatment, the guards did not release her. Currently she is still bedridden in the labor camp.

All practitioners and the detainees are forced to work. Most Dafa practitioners are in their 50s to 60s. Their hair had turned gray and their eyes dim. Their hands and feet are no longer agile. However, they are still suffering from torture and are forced to work.

The most brutal torture Dafa practitioners are forced to undergo is brainwashing that is aimed at destroying practitioners' conscience. Practitioners were forced to study other religions' books, read books that defame Falun Gong, buy these books and watch TV programs that defame Falun Gong. After each day's brainwashing session, they were required to write critical comments and slander of Master and Dafa, as so-called "ideological understanding."

All practitioners benefit from Dafa. Many practitioners fully recovered from all their illnesses after practicing Falun Gong. Their xinxing rose, which helped them to strengthen their belief in cultivation. Ordering them to slander Dafa and Master is more painful than death. That is why they chose suffering instead of criticizing Master and Dafa. This kind of torture is like forcing a firm Christian to slander Jesus, or forcing an ordinary person to speak disrespectfully of a beloved parent who give birth to him. One cannot imagine such agonizing, overwhelming mental torment. This is what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) calls a "harmonious society."

After I was released, I heard about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where the brutal CCP harvests thousands of Falun Gong practitioners' organs. It is heartless, barbaric conduct. I am at a loss for words to express my grief. Experiencing so much inhuman persecution for years, I have one hundred percent reason to believe that this is completely factual. Several thousand people's organs were taken while the victims were alive. That is a barbaric conduct that is one hundred times worse than death. It is completely unimaginable and unacceptable for any normal individual who still has a little bit of conscience and human nature remaining! This world tragedy is the shame of mankind! It is tarnish on the entire human history!

Witnesses like us who experienced persecution in person strongly appeal to the international community, to each country and each person to condemn and stop the CCP's atrocities! Clean this entire humanity's shame! Return justice and rule of law to China! I hope that each and every person whose conscience has not vanished might stand up and tell the wicked CCP "Stop the persecution. Stop killing. Respect human dignity!"

(Clearwisdom.net) No practitioner wants to recall the miserable suffering they experienced in the concentrations camps (labor camps) under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime. I was shocked when reading a report that stated the purpose of subjecting Dafa practitioners to medical checkups was to remove their organs. I realized then that at one time I was mostly silent. Now I am coming forward to awaken people's conscience, so that together we can expose the demonic atrocities the CCP agents committed and are still committing.

It was in late November 2001, the second day after we returned from a labor site some distance away. The police officer in charge suddenly came into my cell and ordered me to pack my belongings, saying that they would send me back to the labor site. This was quite unusual, because the work team that was working at the site would soon be finished and they were to come back. I said I did not want to go. The officer then left.

The environment in that brigade had already become relatively relaxed as a result of our truth-clarification, and some people had already gained some positive understanding about Dafa. I was able to do the Falun Gong exercises and send forth righteous thoughts. We achieved all these with hunger strikes. I did not want to lose this environment; besides, I did not want to cooperate with the persecutors. I also knew that the vicious police would not leave the matter at that.

Prison inmates at the Guanshanzi Concentration Camp were also monitoring Dafa practitioners. We had become "prisoners of inmates." Two of the inmates were assigned to "supervise" me. They would get a day's deduction in their term for each day they

"supervised" me. This was a big reward from the inmates' point of view, as for them one day in the camp seemed like a year. The police took advantage of this mentality to incite inmates to persecute Dafa practitioners. So, the two "supervisors" did not want me to go either.

Not long after, I was put in handcuffs and locked up in a small solitary cell. I was handcuffed onto a metal ring on the wall for days. They shaved my head to humiliate me. I started a hunger strike to protest. Four days later, the team working at the labor site returned. I stopped the hunger strike and asked to go back to the team. They did not release me from the small cell. Two more days passed and the skin around my wrists started to fester and I developed symptoms of lymphatic inflammation. I asked my "supervisors" to tell the guards. Prison doctor Zhang Fan came to take a look and said that I needed to take medication; otherwise my armpits would become ulcerated. The doctor said I needed to take intravenous Ciprofloxacin [an antibiotic], two bottles of fluid at a time.

I had the first infusion in the prison clinic. The second time it was done in the small cell. I noticed that unlike before, the doctor was extremely careful with the medicine this time, so I became suspicious of the medicine. However, if I refused to take medication, there would be more severe persecution. So, I sat on the toilet bucket, hooked up to the infusion. When there was no one watching, I would disconnect the line from the syringe and let the medicine run into the pot. However, as blood would run into the syringe needle, I had to put the line back onto the needle before the blood ran through. After a few times of doing this, the 100 ml bottle of medicine soon ran out. The doctor changed the bottle. I did the same thing again, to let the medicine run out. In less than half an hour the fluid was gone. Later I said to them that I did not need any medicine any more. "Is this up to you?" The doctor rudely countered. I was feeling unwell and wondered if it was from the medicine they put into my body.

The third day they put me on an infusion again. The police had become suspicious and came to check from time to time. Perhaps they felt that it was not normal for the medicine to run through so quickly. I took a chance and pulled the needle out of the vein and left it in place under the adhesive tape used to hold the needle. This way, the police could not see anything on the surface, but the medicine ran into the pot along the back of my hand. This went on for five days. In the end they stopped giving me the medication due to my strong resistance.

Afterwards, I felt that my memory became sluggish. One day, the hospital people insisted that I must go for a health exam, even though I said I did not want to go. I was determined then, thinking that I must not just go along with what the evildoers wanted of me. I should, however, not handle the situation in a tit for tat manner. I thought about it and suddenly had an idea!

After I was taken to the Guanzishan Hospital, the doctor took my blood pressure and wrote out a list of tests for me to take. They refused to show me the names of the tests, so I refused to let them take blood from me. I wanted to do what I had planned. Consequently, they took me to have an electrocardiogram and scan. They did a particularly careful kidney scan and told me to give them a urine sample when we returned to the ground floor. I told them I did not have any urine right now, but they said I had to provide a urine sample anyway. I said they would have to give me some time and leave me alone; otherwise I could not do it. I told them they must close the door. When they could not see me, I sucked out some blood from my gums and spit it into the urine cup with some saliva. Due to the persecution, and the fact that I had not been able to brush my teeth ever since I was sent to the small solitary cell, my gums bled easily. I then urinated a bit and mixed it with what I spit in the cup. Then I handed it over. Afterwards, prison doctor Zhang Fan demanded 300 yuan from me for the test.

I always felt that what I did was not upright and dignified, and that is why in the past I was too embarrassed to mention this. Now, after the Sujiatun Concentration Camp was revealed, I thought perhaps my experience had been a historical arrangement, that I was able to escape that calamity, so that I could tell people about the evilness of the CCP.

I had never believed that the "health checkup" was necessary, but I had never imagined that the purpose of the checkup was for me to become an organ provider. All these atrocities were the direct results of the CCP's evil policy, "ruin their [Falun Gong's] reputation, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically."

At this point, I recalled another incident; whenever newcomers arrived, all of them were asked about their blood type and had blood samples taken in the first month after their arrival. I refused to have my blood drawn at the time.

(Clearwisdom.net) The CCP employs all possible methods to persecute Falun Gong. The 610 Office used to hide behind and control the police system to persecute Falun Gong, but now it has become overt and is directly involved in acts of persecution, such as arrests and torture.

Under CCP dictatorship decrees, agents from the "610 Office," the police and special agents in Sichuan Province assumed that the public is unaware of their gruesome acts. But, they need to know that the laws of heaven are just, that the heavenly net that catches all is immense, and that no evildoer can hide forever.

Every action of persecuting Falun Gong has been well recorded

The incidents cited above are just a small sampling.

Evil will receive retribution

The Buddha Fa is benevolent and cherishes every being. But the Buddha Fa is also solemn. It won't let any evil that persecutes Falun Gong escape. The laws of heaven forbid anyone from persecuting kind people. Since July 20, 1999, many evildoers have experienced retribution, and persecutors had been given many heavenly warnings! We hope police and special agent will wake up and make up for the wrong deeds they have done.

These incidents are examples of karmic retribution coming to those who persecute Falun Gong. They are also warnings to police who are still persecuting Falun Gong.

There are many lawsuits around the world implicating Jiang and his gang for their crimes against Falun Gong. Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, Zhou Yongkang, Zeng Qinghong, Li Lanqing and other CCP officials have been sued by Falun Gong practitioners in more than 30 countries. Bo Xilai, Xia Deren have also been sued in many countries. Some of them have already been found guilty.

When they learned about the lawsuits, some CCP officials started covering their tracks. They got hold of some documents showing that they had been forced to carry out "610 Office" orders, so they [assume they] are innocent. In some areas, the higher-level "610 Office" ordered those on the lower levels to destroy all the files and documents that had been issued since July 20, 1999 that are related to the persecution of Falun Gong.

Think about it: in Nazi Germany, didn't every Nazi member take orders from Hitler? During the Cultural Revolution, didn't every Red Guard army member take orders from Mao Zedong? Today, during the persecution of Falun Gong, who didn't take their orders from Jiang Zemin?

Life is precious and Dafa is benevolent. For those who have persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, take notice that the Falun Dafa Association Announcement has pointed to a way out for you: "The CCP regime is against heaven's will, and is about to collapse. It is now having difficulty sustaining the persecution. Heaven's final judgment of these evil criminals is imminent. However, one of the purposes of the sacred FA of Falun Gong is to save people, including people in all social statuses. Even for those who have committed wrongdoings, there is still an opportunity for them to abandon the evil path and choose to be good. For all those who have committed crimes against Falun Gong but want now to correct their mistakes, they can submit, under safe circumstances, a guarantee statement or regret letter to Minghui (Clearwisdom Net) or to any regional Falun Dafa Association to be archived. We will not investigate the various crimes of those who are determined to correct their mistakes. However we will continue to monitor their actions."

Dafa disciples would love to help every being who truly feels guilty and wants to make up for the mistakes. No matter what you have done to Falun Gong, we hope you will change sincerely, because what the gods look at is your character. We sincerely hope that you will cherish your life and we sincerely hope that you will choose a wonderful future for yourselves.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of March 5, 2006, Officer Chen Gang from the Kandan Police Station in the Fengtai District, Beijing, along with several officers from the Fengtai Police Bureau, went to practitioner Yu Hongmei's home and illegally arrested her. She is being held at the Fengtai Detention Center.

On Feburary 24, undercover agents from the Beijing State Security Bureau invaded practitioner Liu Yanqin's home, took her into custody, and held her at the Fengtai Police Bureau. The incident traumatized Ms. Liu's daughter. When Ms. Liu's husband came home from work, he was too frightened to do anything about it.

Ms. Liu is 50 years old, and her home address is Wujialou Jiajia Garden, #6 Building, Apartment 7-501. On February 24, while she and her daughter were watching TV, they suddenly heard knocking at their door. As Ms. Liu's daughter opened the door, the undercover agents, along with plainclothes officers from the Tiejiangying Police Station - a total of nine people - burst into their home. They ransacked the house and confiscated the Falun Gong books and materials.

After this illegal search, they took Ms. Liu to the Tiejiangying Police Station for interrogation. They took her daughter along as well. At around 4:00 a.m. the next day, they transferred Ms. Liu to the Fengtai Police Bureau.

Police arrested practitioner Liu Yuying, in her 40s, during the period of the National Congress Meeting. She is currently being held at the Fengtai Detention Center. Police ransacked Ms. Liu's home and confiscated her Falun Gong books and materials.

At about 7:00 p.m. on February 22, officers from the Shiliuzhuang Police Station of the Fengtai District arrested practitioner Ms. Su Menghua at her residence, the dormitory of the Beijing Third Leather Factory.

Police arrested Ms. Han Sumei, a practitioner from the Fengtai District. She is currently being held at the Fengtai Detention Center. This is the eighth time police have arrested and detained her.

Wuling Prison captors torture prisoners brutally.

Although the chief of the prison and the heads of each prison ward all signed a guarantee stating, "No torture of Falun Gong practitioners; guarantee the safety of Falun Gong practitioners' lives," they still beat practitioners so brutally that each practitioner who has been incarcerated there has physical injuries. Neither their health nor their lives have been protected at all.

Here are a few examples:

Practitioner Gu Zhihui in the third division is still under strictly controlled monitoring for refusing to work.

Practitioner Xiao Yuanxue in the fourth division is already 60 years old. Prison guard Meng beat him because his voice was too soft when he greeted the officer before entering the gate.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Xuejun, who had been in the second division, died suddenly in 2005. The guard lied, saying that Mr. Wang died because he was sick but refused to take medicine. It was said that 69-year-old Mr. Wang was hung up and beaten for doing the Falun Gong exercises. The guards at one time broke his food bowl in the dining hall for eating too slowly.

In November 2005, Wuling Prison tried to take some video of the prison to apply for the "provincial model prison" award. Practitioner Mr. Zhou Zixian in the fourth division refused to put on the prison uniform. The chief of the fourth division, Huang, ordered the criminal inmates to force him to do so. He also told the criminals that they could do whatever they wanted as long as they didn't beat Mr. Zhou to death. The criminals tore Mr. Zhou's clothes and tied his hands. Mr. Zhou shouted, "Falun Dafa is good! Stop persecuting good people." His voice, which was usually very soft, shocked everybody. He was hung up in the prison factory. The guards also hung some signs on his neck. The signs had words attacking and slandering Falun Gong and its founder. Mr. Zhou, however, was very kind to his captors. He told them that doing bad things would meet with karmic retribution.

The following day at lunch, the criminals forced him to put on the prison uniform and tied his hands behind his back. They pulled him to the dining hall. On the way there, he kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good!" The guards then locked him in the solitary cell for two months for shouting in a public place. Mr. Zhou did not have a coat or shoes in this cell during the winter. His feet hurt from the cold weather. His daughter came to see him from Taiyuan City, which is 1,000 miles away, but his captors didn't let her see him.

It was cold and damp in the solitary cell. Mr. Zhou's hair turned grey and his eyesight got worse, too. Two days before the 2006 Chinese New Year, the new chief of the third team of the fourth division, Hu Wei, came to the solitary cell to release him, but Hu Wei beat him badly so that Mr. Zhou's face was swollen. Mr. Zhou started a hunger strike to protest the torture. During the 12 days on the hunger strike he was beaten badly several times. He was also hung up for eight days. On February 5, five to six guards beat Mr. Zhou so badly in the hallway that his hands bled. The guards who beat Mr. Zhou that day were: chief of the fourth division Zhang Xiankui, deputy chief Zhang, political head Zhang Xuebiao, and deputy political head Sun Hai.

Practitioner Zhang Peng, who is jailed in the first team of the fifth division, was transferred from the Ruanjiang Detention Center. In November 2005, since he refused to wear the prison uniform, guards handcuffed him behind his back. This is a very brutal torture, which can cause people to become handicapped. The guards pulled one of Mr. Zhang's arms over his shoulder and the other up behind his back. Then they handcuffed his hands together. Mr. Zhang was forced to bend down. He was immobilized like this for four or five hours and could not straighten up after his release. The guards out him in a solitary cell in the afternoon.

A few days later he was sent to an intensive jail room. He was released from that room in December 30, 2005. After being released he still refused to put on the prison uniform or wear a prison number button or put on a yellow belt over his clothes. He refused to greet the guards or do the labor. Mr. Zhang Peng also kept asking guards to stop torturing Zhou Zixian. He asked the guard in his team to hand his appeal to the prison chief. He was hung up for an entire morning because of this request.

On February 3, 2006, since he didn't put on the jail's yellow belt over his clothes, guards hung him up at dinnertime. That night several guards took him to an office. They took off Mr. Zhang's pants and beat his buttocks with a bamboo stick. He was badly injured and bled. Later, they locked him in the special jail room. It was snowing and raining that night. They took away his sweater, coat, and pants. They refused to give his clothes back to him, although the practitioners in the fifth division started a hunger strike to protest. The guards who tortured him were: the deputy chief of the prison, Wu Guogang; the chief of the fifth division, Zhang Wenjun; the deputy chief of the fifth division, Li Chunhua; the political head of the fifth division, Dai Minggui; the head of the first team, Liu Yongwen; and the political heads of the first team, Gao Shibiao and Xiong Chaohui.

After the tortures in the Wuling Prison were exposed on the Internet, practitioners in China and overseas wrote letters and called the prison, clarifying the truth. Some guards learned the truth and stopped the torture. The environment in the prison changed a little bit but is still bad.

The prison officials are very brutal to the non-practitioner prisoners, too. The evil atmosphere pervades the entire prison. People often hear the guards say, "Hang So and So up." It is very painful to be hung up. The victim often loses consciousness after being hung up for a long time. Sometime the victim's hands bleed. The guards often extend the time they leave a victim hanging whenever they feel like it: half a day, one day, several days, even half a month. If the criminals cannot finish their work assignments, guards beat their buttocks with a bamboo stick.

The guards also force them to lie down on the ground and insult them. Some guards torture the criminals so badly that somebody might become insane or even kill themselves. For example, Xie Wenqing in the fourth team was tortured to death by guards Pi, Zhang, and Yao in 2004. One criminal in the second team was tortured so badly that he killed himself later. The prison gave his family 80,000 yuan in hush money to put an end to the matter. In 2005, a criminal in the fourth team was hung up and beaten and became traumatized. He was sent to a hospital but died later.

Prisoners don't have free time. Their only breaks are on some important holidays. They are forced to work 12 hours--and sometimes even 14 to 15 hours--a day. The work environment is full of toxic dust, but the prisoners don't have any protection. Some of them have developed lung disease. When the government officers came to inspect the prison, the prison shortened the work hours. The officials ordered the prisoners to tell the inspectors that they always worked eight-hour shifts and that they did have safety protection devices when they worked in the toxic environment.

They don't have good care when they get sick. The equipment and medicine in the prison hospital are very primitive. The sick prisoners still have to work, even if they have a doctor's documentation that they should not work. If they refuse to work, the guards verbally abuse and even beat them. The guards never keep their promises and neither do they obey the law. When prisoners try to assert their legal rights, the guards always reply, "Do you have rights here?"

At the end of 2005, Wuling Prison officials applied for the "provincial model prison" award. While the prison was being inspected, they observed the rules such as an eight-hour work shift and a nap-break after lunch. But after the inspectors left, everything went back to the way it was before. There are some appeals letterboxes in the prison, which are supposed to be checked for mail every seven days. Those who wrote petitions were actually beaten, while none of the guards were ever punished for their bad behavior. For example, one prisoner in the fifth team was beaten by Yang Jinsheng, a guard in the second sub-team of the fifth team, for writing a letter to report that a prisoner was beaten by a guard. This prisoner was beaten so badly that it took a long time for him to recover.

The fourth team is the most evil team. The guards there often torture prisoners severely. They didn't stop torturing even when the prison was applying for the "provincial model prison" award. Hanging them up, locking their hands behind their backs, beating them with a bamboo stick, letting them bake in the strong sun, and forcing them to beat each other with wooden sticks are some of the tortures they often subjected the prisoners to.

Mr. Liang Wencai Is Persecuted to Death

Mr. Liang of Sanhe City, Hebei Province, age 64, started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. After Jiang Zemin first began the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 2999, Mr. Liang went to Beijing to explain the truth. However, he was taken back home to Sanhe City for persecution. In June 2001, while he was distributing truth clarifying materials in Xianghe, police officers from the Shuyang Police Station illegally arrested him and jailed him. Because he refused to disclose his name and address, the police thrashed his back with rubber tubes and then restrained him on a bed with his arms and legs spread apart in a death row cell.

The old man went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and explained the truth to prisoners. In the end, even prisoners shouted along with him, "Falun Dafa is good." Three days later, he walked right out of jail with righteous thoughts. From then on, he was unable to live a normal life or do any cultivation practice due to constant interruption by members of the Chinese Communist Party. His health conditions worsened, and he passed away by the end of October 2003.

Senior Practitioners Died from Persecution in Sichuan Province

Ms. Li Shuya, age 76, was a practitioner in the Wujin District of Xin Jin County in Sichuan Province. She went to Beijing to explain the truth in December 2000. Local police arrested her, took her home, and demanded a huge ransom for her release. After that, Ms. Li explained the truth to local non-practitioners but was always on the run from local evil officials' stakeouts. During the Chinese Communist party's persecution against Falun Dafa and Falun Dafa practitioners for the last six years, her mind and body suffered a great deal. She died on January 30, 2006.

Mr. Yin Xiguo, age 62, lived in Dayudao Village in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. He started learning Falun Gong in 1997. After July 20, 1999, the police ransacked his home many times and threatened him. Police also detained his wife, Zhou Dienwu, and imprisoned her many times. On October 25, 2005, his wife was again arrested and sent to forced labor for two years in the Shandong Wang Chuan Forced Labor Camp. Under this great pressure, Mr. Yuan suddenly suffered a stroke in January 2006 and died on March 11, 2006. Before his death, the labor camp did not even allow his wife to see him one last time.

(Clearwisdom.net) A "solemn declaration" is a person's public statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practice again. Also, as more and more people in China learn the truth about how they have been deceived and lied to by the Jiang regime, many non-practitioners are also submitting "solemn declarations."

Here are some examples of the Solemn Declarations:

• Dafa Practitioners' Solemn Statements [11/9/2005]
• Solemn Declarations By People Who Have Awakened to the Truth about Falun Gong [11/5/2005]
• Solemn Declarations by Young Dafa Practitioners [11/5/2005]

Please click here for more Solemn Declarations.

(Clearwisdom.net) After hearing the shocking news about Sujiatun, I became vigilant about the circumstances of my recent cultivation. Not only had I not been doing very well, but in my Fa validation and my xinxing, I found many omissions and losses. Searching within, I discovered that I was becoming anxious. Having heard the shocking news about the severe and violent events suffered by the practitioners in China, I invariably felt the need for urgent action, to assist those fellow practitioners. Furthermore, I must tell the people of the world the facts, as that is every Dafa practitioner's duty.

But, if the mind is not calm, nothing will be achieved. As we rise higher and higher in levels during our cultivation, our capacity must also increase accordingly; otherwise, our cultivation would stagnate. We would then be like an ordinary person doing Dafa work. That would be making a futile effort. This would indicate that one has not cultivated well and would hold up the process of the great act of rescuing sentient beings.

In the "Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida" Master said,

Master has instructed us again and again that we must study the Fa well, especially at this most crucial period in history. We are battling the old forces for time. They are destroying sentient beings. We are rescuing sentient beings at every moment. If we do not keep up with the Fa-rectification progress and fail to increase our capacity, would that do? If we sink into the mode of anxiety of ordinary people and do not keep our minds calm while studying the Fa, we cannot do well the two other things of the three things that we must do. We might feel tired and become ill tempered. We would then actually tread the path the old forces have arranged.

The occurrences at Sujiatun are a grim test for all the Dafa practitioners. Some are still in doubt and adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Some are in a sorrowful state. Others hold on to the ordinary human mindset with anger and fury and cannot step forward to validate the Fa. If, like me, we cannot steadily do the three tasks well, we are then not walking well on the path Master has arranged for us!

In "Toward Consummation" Master said,

In this present trial, we absolutely cannot accept the arrangements of the old forces; in our cultivation we must treat the Fa as the Master. Only by having a calm mind during Fa study can we discard our basic attachments. Then we can have righteous thoughts and carry out actions to rescue more sentient beings.

Our fellow practitioners in China must be rescued immediately. All Dafa practitioners must take action and clarify the facts to the best of our abilities; that is done also to let the sentient beings choose their future positions. But, by all means, absolutely do not forget to remain calm when you study the Fa. Steadily perform the three tasks! In your righteous thoughts and actions, discard the apathetic mindset, the dependent and wait-and-see attitude, your anxiety and other things that might be detrimental, so as to completely disintegrate the evil with the power of righteous thoughts.

Bad elements must not be permitted to create a separation. We must be rational and clear-headed when walking the final segment of our path.

If my opinions contain errors, kindly correct me!

(Clearwisdom.net) Incarceration of Falun Dafa practitioners is an arrangement of the old forces. Why is it that after nearly seven years of persecution, innocent Dafa practitioner are still being arrested and incarcerated? This is shocking, and yet many people think of it as "normal." Would the harvest of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners happen if conditions didn't permit the widespread detention of practitioners in labor camps, prisons and brainwashing centers? Perhaps we Dafa practitioners should again rationally examine our understanding of Fa principles.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started harvesting Dafa practitioners' organs and cremating the remains to destroy evidence as early as late 2000. This sinister crime has gone on for six years. According to one estimate, about 10,000 Dafa practitioners have been brutally murdered this way.

One can start practicing Falun Dafa on one's own after reading the book, Zhuan Falun, and learning the five sets of exercises. 100 million people were practicing Falun Gong in Mainland China when the persecution began in 1999. From then until late 2000, countless Falun Gong practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for justice. They overcame numerous difficulties to do so. Many kind and trusting Dafa practitioners never returned home from their trip to appeal. Their families were too afraid to look for the practitioners or to petition for them, because they knew that justice is nowhere to be found for a Falun Gong practitioner in China. Some practitioners thought that they should endure the tribulation after they were arrested. They didn't mind the suffering inside prisons, as they thought they could also tell people in that environment that Dafa is good; they could still save people, but they didn't realize that they had fallen into the claws of the old forces.

Between 2000 and 2003, the peak of the persecution, Jiang Zemin's and Luo Gan's group had control over all the nation's resources. This resulted in Dafa practitioners being held in labor camps, prisons, detention centers, police departments, mental hospitals, police hospitals and other facilities. Many labor camps held around 10,000 practitioners. These places became so crowded that it would be difficult for Westerners to imagine or believe these conditions. The secret concentration camps were quietly established under these circumstances.

With these facilities in place, where Falun Gong practitioners have been held long term, the practitioners detained there are not only subjected to slave labor, brainwashing and deception, but also to isolation. The perpetrators drew practitioners' blood samples and did anything they wanted to the practitioners. Many illegally detained practitioners didn't know about other practitioners' whereabouts, or of the experiences of other practitioners who were held at the same camp. Practitioners who shared the same cell today could be separated tomorrow. The old forces took advantage of the kindness and endurance of many Falun Gong practitioners and regarded them as "easily handled."

Between late 2000 and early 2001, the covert harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners' organs and the quietly carried out cremation of their bodies reached such a bloody extent that it's hard to put into words. The CCP clearly explained it with its policies towards Dafa practitioners: "it's nothing to beat Falun Gong practitioners to death;" and, "annihilate them physically." In other words, they do not regard Falun Gong practitioners as human beings but instead as slaves and commercial commodities to be used for huge profits. This crime has happened at all labor camps, prisons, police hospitals and non-police hospitals throughout China. It is still happening at some places now, where the perpetrators are hastening to harvest the practitioners' organs.

In March 2006, after the exposure of this crime to the international community, the criminal CCP group not only didn't stop the illicit organ harvest, but instead, it accelerated the killings. According to a news report by the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) on April 5, many leads and investigations from Mainland China confirmed a hastily-published CCP edict entitled, Interim Regulation for Human Organ Transplant Practice. This was issued after the exposure of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp and other similar places, to the international community. This regulation, however, will not take effect until July 1, 2006, which thus allows the regime time to destroy all evidence of these crimes. All investigations have confirmed that hospitals and transplant centers in Heilongjiang, Hunan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Anhui, Shan'xi and Xinjiang are operating overtime to perform transplant surgeries. Hospital staff members told undercover investigators that a patient should come in quickly if he or she wants a transplant, as they can find matching organs in as short as one or two days, and it will be difficult after this batch of organs is used up.

Faced with this situation, Dafa practitioners and foreign governments and NGOs continue to expose the fact that the CCP is murdering the practitioners and amassing its last blood money. We are racing against time and against the evil to rescue our fellow practitioners and rescue the world's people!

It was already too late when we learned the news from the hospitals and the operating tables, because the practitioners had already been murdered. As long as the CCP is still able to use the labor camps, prisons and other related facilities to detain Dafa practitioners, live organ harvesting and other forms of cruelty, both exposed and hidden, can occur at any time. We cannot always wait to awaken people at the cost of fellow practitioners' lives; otherwise, wouldn't we be cultivating and rescuing people under the old forces' arrangements?

The old forces arranged the "tribulation of incarceration" for Dafa practitioners, which is a very major part of the old forces' overall arrangements, and also a necessary condition for the various crimes of the persecution to take place and continue to exist. We always say that we don't acknowledge the old forces' arrangements and we must break through the old forces' arrangements, and yet this "tribulation of incarceration" arranged by the old forces has affected countless Dafa practitioners. So many practitioners were not able to study the Fa well due to long-term incarceration. As a result, they were not able to do well the three things required of Fa-rectification Dafa disciples due to lack of freedom, because they were shut away from the sentient beings that are waiting to be rescued by them! Many practitioners tacitly bowed to the evil; many practitioners suffered unimaginable abuse including rape, sexual assault and slave labor; some practitioners were driven to the point of mental collapse, and some were injured or disabled. Many practitioners had their organs removed and sold for profit!

Of course, the practitioners who were incarcerated had omissions and didn't do well in certain aspects, and there are complex historic reasons. However, when fellow practitioners are deprived of their freedom, we Dafa practitioners on the outside should learn from their mistakes and do better ourselves, and at the same time grasp the time to expose the persecution, send forth righteous thoughts, relieve the pressure on fellow practitioners, and rescue fellow practitioners from the demons' claws as soon as possible.

When we calmly think about it, isn't it quite common among Dafa practitioners to unknowingly accept and acknowledge the old forces' arrangements? During the past seven years, for example, how many of us have actually accepted the "tribulation of incarceration" arranged by the old forces? If we condone detention in labor camps and prisons as arranged by the old forces, and at the same time oppose a certain form of the persecution, then how can we completely do away with the old forces' arrangements? We must thoroughly expose and lay bare under the sun all places that the evil can use to abuse and barbarically murder our fellow practitioners!

We cannot always wait to expose the persecution after a certain crime has taken place. We should actively clarify the truth about the persecution that has already taken place, to use it to rescue the world's people; but this is only one way to make up for the loss and to break away from the old forces' arrangements. For all the other crimes that have not yet happened, we must do our best to prevent them from happening and destroy all dens where the evil holds our fellow practitioners.

The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG), started by Dafa practitioners, marks a new beginning where practitioners will take the initiative and proactively do away with the old forces' arrangements. Let all Dafa practitioners in the world strengthen their righteous thoughts, join hands and use our wisdom to overcome difficulties, work with each other and achieve all that is required by the Fa-rectification. Let us change from passively to actively opposing the persecution!

The above opinions are some thoughts at my current stage of cultivation, and I welcome any corrections.

(Clearwisdom.net) Something that happened at a recent experience-sharing conference in the North District of Taiwan (Jiantan) provoked some thoughts in me. During the lunch break, as I was eating with my child outside the conference hall, I saw an older woman sitting next to us. She had come up from the south to participate in an event of another group at the Jiantan Recreational Center. I started a conversation with her and told her that I was there to attend a Falun Gong experience-sharing conference.

At that she said coldly, "I'm not interested in this! I saw them passing out flyers in Singapore, too, and I never read them. One of my friends once learned it, and he told me there were too many rituals involved in it." Hearing that, I realized immediately that she had some misperceptions. "I need to clarify the facts to her," I thought.

I began with the topic of family life, telling her how I had changed toward my family after I obtained the Fa. I said, "Our Master taught us that a husband and wife have a profound bond, and that a husband should love and protect his wife, whereas a wife should be understanding and take good care of her husband. I've changed because I followed my Master's words." At this point I saw a smile emerging on the face of this older woman.

So I proceeded to tell her how Falun Gong practitioners were being persecuted in mainland China and that we use peaceful means such as distributing flyers to stop the ongoing persecution. In the end, I noticed that the look on her face became friendly, and I was heartily grateful for Master's arrangement.

What this woman said about us should cause us to think: Is it possible that "rituals" set by ourselves are unconsciously added as we share experiences with new practitioners? When I started out practicing, a veteran practitioner told me that since this practice was so grand, I should do this and that... (They were all the things that practitioners do out of respect.) New practitioners won't have a deep understanding, so naturally they will feel that there are "too many rituals."

Meanwhile, it's important to take new practitioners' state into consideration when we share experiences. Normally new practitioners are welcome to participate in experience-sharing on xinxing improvement; but discussions on Dafa projects may not be suitable for them. One reason for this is because new practitioners who lack sufficient understandings of the Fa-rectification process may convey negative thoughts and misperceptions to their friends and family. So it is important for us to be "... full of great aspirations while minding minor details." ("Sage", Essentials for Further Advancement) We should really be more considerate of new practitioners.

(Clearwisdom.net) There is a story that goes: Once upon a time, a person sought a master in a mountain to learn some skills. After three years, the person thought that he had learned all the skills he needed. He went to his master and said, "Master, your disciple has studied for three full years. He has learned all the skills. It is time for him to leave the mountain."

The master looked at him and asked: "Is it full?"

The disciple said: "Master, after three full years, it is time for me to go down the mountain."

The master said: "Get a bowl and fill it with rocks."

The disciple did as the master said. He brought a bowl full of rocks to the master and said: "Master, according to what you said, I have filled the bowl with rocks."

The master asked: "Is it full?"

The disciple replied: "It is full. It can't hold any more rocks."

Then, the master asked his disciple to add sand to the bowl of rocks. The disciple watched the sand quickly fill the space between the rocks in the bowl. Then, he said, "Master, this time it is really full, the bowl can no longer hold anymore."

Then, the master took a cup of water and poured the water into the bowl. Quickly, the water disappeared into the sand. The master said: "Is it full?" The disciple didn't say a word. He bent his head down and blushed.

After reading this story and looking at our cultivation, isn't it the same! As a Falun Dafa practitioner, after cultivating in Dafa for so many years and experiencing so many years of persecution, we have gone through many lessons, some of which have cost lives. Do we really understand what we should do? Do we meet the requirements of our Teacher? Do we really understand our Teacher's tremendous benevolence and painstaking effort?

When we cannot pass a test, when we are proud of our good deeds, when we fail to reach our personal goals and are angry and feel life is unfair, and when we proudly talk about the glorious experiences of the Fa-rectification, have we paused to consider: what are the higher requirements for "Dafa Disciples" during the Fa-rectification period? Have we eliminated all the human mentalities that we should remove? Have we done the things we should have done to save the sentient beings? Isn't complacency also a lack of diligence? Do we always show that the Fa comes first? Are we falling short in doing the three things well? This inadequacy can only be seen when we continuously study the Fa and try to experience it with our heart.

Falun Dafa disciples are meant to cultivate until Consummation, and we should continuously meet higher requirements. We should follow our Teacher's requirements solidly and do the three things well, walk on the path that Teacher arranged for us, and meet the standards that our Teacher requires of us. Only then can we truly become

"Fa-rectification Dafa Disciples."

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a young Taiwanese practitioner and I am six years old. My health was not very good before I practiced Falun Gong. I had to take medicine all the time and when I was in kindergarten, I frequently had a fever or a cold. My mom was very worried about my health. One night I had a fever again and Mom asked me if I wanted to practice Falun Dafa along with her. I nodded. Then she told me, "Master will purify all the practitioners' bodies to give them an easy way to cultivate themselves. Right now, Master is purifying your body. Are you afraid? Do you want to see the doctor or take medicine?" I shook my head no. Then my mom started to read Hong Yin to me and let me listen to the audiotapes of Master's lectures. I fell asleep while listening to the audiotapes. That night I started to cough badly, which also made my mom unable to sleep. The next day, Mom took me to her office and took care of me when doing her work. At about 5 p.m. in the afternoon, when I went to the toilet it was really smelly. I was embarrassed but I asked, "Mom, it was really smelly when I went to the bathroom. Master is purifying my body. Right?" Mom smiled and said, "Yes." I was very happy and I said, "I do not feel any pain. I am recovered."

After that, I started to practice Falun Gong with my mom. She sent me to the Minghui School. Sometimes, I was mischievous and I liked to have fun and I did not like to send forth righteous thoughts. Every time that happened, my mom would tell me, "The word and notion that, 'I don't like to send forth righteous thoughts' is not coming from your mind. It is the interference from the evil and karma. They don't want you to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate them. So they control your mind and let you think that this is you're real thought. You must clearly deny the notion that 'I don't like to send forth righteous thoughts.' Master tells us to do the three things well. You are a practitioner and you should listen to Master!"

Yesterday, my mom and I went to Ali Mountain to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. I helped to fold many truth-clarifying materials. I really liked doing it and did not feel even a little bit tired. We went back home that night and it was the time to send forth righteous thoughts. Mom asked me to send forth righteous thoughts with her. I told her, "Mom, I want to sleep. I don't want to send forth righteous thoughts." Mom did not pay attention to me and started to send forth righteous thoughts. I sat there in the half lotus position. Then I changed to the full lotus position and started to send forth righteous thoughts with her. After we finished I told her happily, "Mom, do you know why I changed to the full lotus position?" Mom smiled and shook her head, "No." I told her, "It is because I think that the phrase 'I don't want to send forth righteous thoughts' is not from my mind. It is the evil and karma trying to interfere with and control me. Then I thought, 'I want to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and karma.' The evil and karma knew that I sent forth righteous thoughts and were really frightened and said, 'Little Yu, don't send forth righteous thoughts. Don't send forth righteous thoughts.' But I just sent forth righteous thoughts and eliminated them."

I asked my mom. "Right now how many people are imprisoned in that concentration camp (Sujiatun Concentration Camp)? She told me, "More than 6,000 people." "How many were persecuted to death?" I asked. "About 4,000 people. Right now there are only about 2,000 people still alive." She replied. I said, "I will send forth righteous thoughts. The evil will be frightened." Mom kissed me and praised me and said that I am good and that I am Master's young disciple.

Right now I know that I need to send forth righteous thoughts. The words "don't send forth righteous thoughts" are not from my own mind. The evil and karma say that. I will listen to what Master tells us. When Master sees my progress, he will smile.

Right now I send forth righteous thoughts every day. My sentient beings are all very happy when they know I am sending forth righteous thoughts. They said, "Our young master is really good!"

Above is a young practitioner's understanding of sending forth righteous thoughts and is compiled by the young practitioner's mother. Thanks to our revered Master's merciful guidance in leading a young practitioner to gradually understand the inner meanings of cultivation practice based on the principles of the Fa. Should there be anything inappropriate, please kindly point it out for further rectification.

(Clearwisdom.net) People call him Lao Zhao. He used to work in an electronics factory. He had stepped onto a deviant path in ordinary society and become a thief. One day in 1995, when he was shopping with his family, he saw a large group of Falun Gong practitioners doing the exercises. He really wanted to learn but his wife stopped him, and he missed the chance. Soon after, he was put into a detention center for stealing goods worth over 30,000 yuan. Whenever he mentioned this, he was very regretful. If he had obtained the Fa back then, he would never have done that.

Fortunately his mother started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. She sent him the Dafa books and illustrations for the exercises so that he could learn the practice in the detention center. She would correct his movements when she visited him. Lao Zhao cherished the Fa. He studied the Fa and practiced the exercises diligently. Very soon he learned the five sets of exercises and his xinxing also improved. He knew that he could no longer be muddle-headed like before. Soon after that, the verdict came and he was sentenced to a life-long jail term. He was sent to Chuanzhong Prison in the rural area of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, that specifically detains felons.

Lao Zhao kept studying the Fa and practicing the exercises in prison. He promoted the Fa to other inmates and several inmates also started practicing Falun Gong. After July 20, 1999, some inmates reported him and the police confiscated his Dafa books and materials. The police asked him, "Are you going to continue to practice?" Lao Zhao replied firmly, "Yes!" The furious police put him into solitary confinement and tortured him for 20 days. But all the torture did not change his faith. They had to eventually release him. Fearing that he would not be able to endure the torture and would give up, his elderly mother often traveled several hundred miles to visit and encourage him, bringing him Teacher's new articles and telling him stories of other practitioners validating Dafa. When the evil was most rampant, his mother said, "Please never give in. I will be proud of you."

In 2001, CCTV broadcast the story of the "Tiananmen self-immolation incident" fabricated by the CCP. The night following the broadcast, Lao Zhao pointed out to other inmates in a dignified manner the inconsistencies and holes in the story. This caused the police to panic. They once again put Lao Zhao into solitary confinement and handcuffed and chained him in a cross shape to the death bed. As a result, he did not have a bowel movement for over 20 days. It was very difficult but Lao Zhao endured. The police had to release him from solitary confinement and they reported to the Sichuan Prison Management Bureau.

In April of 2001, Lao Zhao was transferred to Deyang Prison. This is the site specifically for persecuting practitioners in Sichuan Province. At that time, they were carrying out so-called "forceful transformation." He did not waver at all. The police then put him along with several other of the most determined practitioners into the most vicious fifth division to be tortured: he was subjected to extended exposure to strong sunlight, was forced to stand for a long time in the position of "a golden chicken standing on one foot," was beaten, and so on. Policeman Li Weidong threatened him, "Lao Zhao, if you insist on not being transformed, you life-long jail term will never be shortened." Lao Zhao replied, "I will still practice even if I serve a life sentence." According to Chinese law, if an inmate with a life sentence does not commit any criminal activity within the first two years in jail, the term will be changed to 18 to 20 years. However, Lao Zhao had been in jail for four or five years, yet his term was never shortened because he did not give up his faith in Dafa.

Fearing that his determination would influence those who had already given in, he was transferred to the fourth division. The environment there was relatively better.

In June 2002, after the officials went to a conference in Beijing, they started another round of torture. Lao Zhao was once again transferred to the 8^th division of the second prison area that specifically persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. Here, police prohibit family visits and block any communication of news. I once again met up with Mr. Lao and found that he was even more mature than before. Although the food was poor and he suffered various physical punishments such as exposure to rain and sun all day long, he had a rosy complexion and his skin was fair. He always considered others first and helped other practitioners, encouraging them to be determined and resist the evil persecution and the nonsense from collaborators.

For the past several years, he not only suffered torture from angry police and inmates, but was also attacked by the collaborators. However, these never influenced his determination in cultivation and he has never left a stain on his path of cultivation. When the police humiliated and mocked him using his previous crimes committed before he obtained the Fa, he replied, "I committed those crimes exactly because I had not practiced Falun Gong. If I started practicing earlier, how could I ever have done things like that? Today I am a cultivator. I want to be a good person, but you don't allow me to do that. When I was doing bad deeds before, why did you not help me?"

In 2002 when I left Deyang prison, Mr. Lao Zhao asked me to tell his mother not to worry about him. However, within two months of my release, I was once again put into another prison and was beaten until my leg was broken. I was only released recently. Now I write down his story to tell his mother and everyone in the world that only Dafa can change a person for the better. Vicious perpetrators can never change the faith of Dafa practitioners. I also wish Lao Zhao the best on his cultivation path.

(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in April of 1996. In June or July of 2005, one side of my head suddenly became very painful. I also started to cough. The symptoms became more severe in October. I had difficulty breathing, and I was completely winded after climbing the three levels of stairs to get to my apartment. My family urged me to go to the hospital for tests. Seeing how worried they were for me, I succumbed to my qing. To keep them from worrying for me, I agreed to have an exam. However, my going for this exam was actually following the old forces arrangements, instead of walking a righteous path.

A CT scan was performed first. The doctor said that the results were unclear, so he needed to inject me with some medicine to increase the clarity of the scan. I agreed, thinking that the results would show that there was nothing wrong with me. I didn't ask about the results of the examination, but my family members looked very worried, so the results must have been bad. Later, I learned from other practitioners that I was diagnosed with "late stage lung cancer." I was not affected by this news, nor did I acknowledge it. I believed that it was evil interference. My family contacted the hospital and found a specialist for me, but I refused to go. My husband was so worried that he tearfully said, "Our family will be finished without you." He called our son home early from his business trip. My husband also called our nephew to come to our home from another city. The whole family rallied together to try to persuade me. My nephew said, "It is normal to go to the hospital when sick!" I said, "Yes, for everyday people it is normal." He asked, "Aren't you an everyday person?"

At this time, my 8-year-old granddaughter who was playing nearby said, "Let me have my say: "If everyday people score 80 out of 100, my grandmother can score 90. Although she can't score the highest, she is not an everyday person, either." My nephew said, "Then let's compromise. You can go to the hospital, and do the exercises at the same time." My granddaughter said, "That would be like trying to step on two boats at the same time. You can't progress at all like that. Going to the hospital means that you don't have confidence in your health." As her mother tried to continue her persuasion, my granddaughter was so anxious that she burst into tears. She said to the entire family, "Why don't you give a free rein to my grandmother? Why won't you let her decide her own affairs? How can you know her physical state better than she does?"

I was deeply moved by my granddaughter's quick words. Although she had been living in a cultivation environment, memorizing Lunyu and Hong Yin, and listening to stories about Falun Dafa from me, she had never really cultivated. Yet she was able to speak such words based on the Fa. I instantly realized that it was merciful Teacher helping me. Teacher was giving hints to me through the child's mouth. It was Dafa's power. Teacher said,

Several fellow practitioners were also very concerned about whether I could maintain my xinxing. They kept sharing with me and strengthening my righteous thoughts. They also clarified Dafa principles to my family. When my family members saw that I was very firm and determined, they gave up the idea of sending me to the hospital, and began to fully support me in doing the three things. Other practitioners suggested that we form a Fa-study group, as this was the cultivation form left by Teacher. They continued to help me strengthen my righteous thoughts and deny the old force arrangements.

As I had already had wrong thinking in allowing the hospital exam, I was taken advantage of by the evil. After the examination, my symptoms worsened. I kept coughing and spitting, and my head pain was so severe that I couldn't lie down to sleep at night. For two months, I had to sit on a sofa and try to fell asleep while sitting up. During this period, the article, "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005" was published. Teacher said,

Teacher's words enabled me to reevaluate my suffering correctly, and gave me the strength to overcome the persecution.

Through this tribulation, I also gained deeper understanding about "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts Are Powerful." Before this tribulation came, whenever I sent forth righteous thoughts, the evil would appear and laugh at me in a defiant manner. The evil dared to be so arrogant because my righteous thoughts were not strong enough. After we set up the Fa-study group, my righteous thoughts progressively became stronger and stronger. Once, when we began sending righteous thoughts together, I saw myself sitting at a high altitude, as high as a big building, with my hands folded in the jieyin position. When looking down, I saw a middle-aged woman trying to look up, but she couldn't see me. Then I rose higher and flew to a more remote place. It felt extraordinarily wonderful. The middle-aged woman I had seen was actually the evil manifesting with a different image. It had intended to interfere with me. However, as my righteous thoughts were now very focused and strong, it couldn't reach me. Several days later, when we sent righteous thoughts together again, I felt a young man trying to approach covertly. I realized it was another manifestation of the evil, coming back to interfere again. When I saw him, he was already retreating, and was more than ten meters away from me. While retreating behind a wall, he shook his hand and said to me smiling, "We are going, and will never come back." I said, "If you come again, Dafa will disintegrate you." I had previously been cultivating with my third eye closed. Seeing these scenes greatly encouraged me to strengthen my righteous thoughts at all times. It was just like Teacher said,

While feeling this constant encouragement from Teacher to defeat the sickness demon, I tried to understand why I was being interfered with so intensely, despite the fact that I had been cultivating for ten years. Though I had not been very diligent, I had been persisting in studying the Fa, doing the exercises and doing the "three things." Teacher said,

Then what hadn't I let go of? I started recalling the process of my cultivation. I hadn't encountered any huge tribulations in the past ten years. My cultivation had been very smooth, and I had never really needed to look deeply within. Some of my attachments were still deeply buried. My fundamental problem was that I hadn't let go of my attachment to illness. Sometimes my lower back felt so uncomfortable that I could not move without pain. There was also a period of time when the corner of my right eye glowed abnormally. Some people said that this could be the retina separating from my eye and that I would probably lose my eyesight. I became very afraid. After my head pained me for several months, and my righteous thoughts failed to improve the situation, one thought came to my mind: "Has anything bad grown in my head?" I felt frightened; but I knew I should not go to the hospital to check. I was often in a perplexed state. This situation showed me that my faith in Teacher and Dafa was not firm enough. I only wanted to eliminate the interference by sending righteous thoughts. I didn't search for the reasons why I was interfered with, nor did I cultivate my xinxing. Because I didn't let go of my attachments, the tribulations came one after another. Teacher said,

My situation was just like this. Because I didn't do well, the evil took advantage of me and created this huge tribulation for me.

After enlightening to these Fa-principles and discovering my fundamental attachment, I felt light-hearted and clearer. My faith in Falun Dafa was strengthened. As I still couldn't fall asleep at night, I woke up at 3 a.m. to do the exercises, send righteous thoughts and study the Fa. When reading Zhuan Falun again, I felt a kind of warmth which I had never experienced before. Every sentence and every character in Zhuan Falun was so precious and comforting. I didn't want to put the book down after picking it up. Although I didn't sleep well during those days, couldn't eat much, still suffered bad headaches, and felt so dim and faint everyday that I didn't have strength and could hardly walk for more than several steps, I persisted in going out to deliver truth-clarification material. I felt that deep within I had a store of endless energy.

Teacher said,

Because I studied the Fa diligently and dug out my fundamental attachment, my righteous thoughts were strengthened. On the morning on January 9, 2006, I suddenly felt that everything was fine with me. The disease which had been torturing me for two months had disappeared without a trace. I could eat and sleep normally again. It was just like what Teacher said,

It is thanks to Dafa's mighty power and magnificence, and merciful Teacher that I have a second life now. From now on, I will do the three things well and not let Teacher down.

(Clearwisdom.net) Countless practitioners have clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to police in China, and many who had previously participated in the persecution of Dafa disciples have awakened to the truth. They have begun protecting Dafa disciples and Dafa materials through their own actions. Recently, a policeman from the 610 Office of Hebei Province approached me and told me about his process of repentance and how he had changed his own actions and thoughts. He also hoped that Dafa practitioners and Clearwisdom/Minghui website would give him a chance to start anew and remove his name from the list of the people who have participated in the persecution.

The 610 Office policeman told me that the way he treated Falun Gong in the past was wrong. After one of his recent break-ins into a practitioner's house was exposed on the Internet and he became listed as one of the criminals who have participated in the persecution, he became very regretful of his actions. He said, "After my name appeared on the web, the whole world seems to know now and it feels terrible. I can't eat or sleep well, as if something is crushing down on me."

He said that he has seen the "Plum Blossom Poem," the truth-clarification CD on the Tiananmen Self-Immolation Incident, and knows very well that those who self-immolated were not Falun Gong practitioners and that Falun Gong's teachings prohibit killing, including suicide. He also knows of a couple that used to slaughter chickens for business, but quit from the job after practicing Falun Gong.

The following are a few instances where he has protected Dafa disciples and treated Dafa materials in a good manner:

Once, he heard someone reporting to the authorities that a Falun Gong practitioner from a certain village was distributing flyers at the market. His superiors ordered him and another teammate to go follow the practitioner and arrest her on the spot if she was seen handing out flyers. When they went to the market, they found the practitioner and he even knew her, but he suggested to his fellow police officer that they go back and just say that they did not see anything.

In autumn 2004, the village 610 Office initiated a campaign to break into practitioners' homes to conduct illegal searches. This policeman secretly warned me to hide my Dafa books and flyers.

In the summer of 2005, the 610 Office policemen burned large amounts of Dafa books, truth-clarification flyers and CDs etc. in the nearby villages and towns. He said that he did not dare to burn Dafa books. While others were throwing books into the fire, he was only throwing waste paper.

I told him it was a very sad thing for so many books to be burned and that I felt terrible inside. He told me that there were still a few more books that have not been burned in the office and he asked if I wanted them. I said I did, and he indeed brought me four Dafa books wrapped up very neatly with newspaper.

Near the end of 2005, the village 610 Office personnel broke into a Dafa practitioner's home to search for books and arrest practitioners illegally. He was there as well. He said that he opened the drawers at the practitioner's home and found Dafa books, but he closed it and said to the practitioner's husband, "There are still things in your drawers at home." In other words, he hinted to him to hide the books. He said that the practitioner was, however, still arrested at a later time and imprisoned in the village, with a fine of 5,000 yuan.

Since his name has been exposed on the Internet along with other criminals of the Chinese Communist Party, he said, "Now that the whole world knows, I feel very terrible and cannot sleep or eat well, as if something is crushing me." I asked him how he wishes to handle the issue. He replied that everything that is written in the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is true. He asked me to help him remove his name from the criminals list on Clearwisdom/Minghui website, and also help him to publish his "three withdrawals" from the Chinese Communist Party.

(Clearwisdom.net) During the Xifeng period of the North Song Dynasty, there was a teahouse located next to the Fan Pavilion in the Capital City. The teahouse business was quite prosperous.

One day, a customer whose last name was Li, talked with his old friend about their past over tea. It was hot that day, so Li took off his sweater and put it on top of his pouch full of dozens gold pieces lying on the table. After he and his friend had finished talking and drunk their tea, he forgot about his gold. He later discovered that he had forgotten his pouch, but he thought that it would be impossible to find it since so many other customers were there.

About four years later, customer Li came to the teahouse again. With no expectation of finding his gold, he mentioned what he had lost years before. The teahouse owner heard him and asked, "Were you wearing a sweater that day?" Li said, "Yes!" The owner continued, "Was your friend wearing a leather coat?" Li replied, "Yes!" The owner said, "I saw what you had left on the table, and I went after you, but you walked so fast that I couldn't find you among so many people. I put it away, because I thought you might come back for it the next day. I never even opened it. It is very heavy, so I guess maybe there are gold pieces inside. If it is consistent with what you describe, you can have it back!" Li said, "If you can find it, I will split it with you." The owner said nothing but smiled.

Li followed the owner upstairs and saw many items such as shoes, umbrellas, clothes, vessels, etc., which customers had left. On each item was a tag, marking the date as well as a description of the person who had left it. If unknown, it was just marked "unknown." In a corner of the attic, they found a cloth pouch, dated, and marked.

After he went downstairs, the teahouse owner asked Li again about the amount of gold inside. Li replied, and his host opened the cloth pouch. The amount matched what Li had mentioned, and the shop owner gave it to him.

Li wanted to express his appreciation by leaving half of the gold for the owner. The owner said, "If I only attached importance to how I could benefit and didn't care about being honest, then I would have hidden your gold. In that case, what could you have done? Couldn't you have taken me to the court? Why did I do it this way? It is because I have to face my own conscience!"

Li realized that the owner would not accept his offer. He was embarrassed but thanked the owner again and again. The owner responded cordially to his thanks again and again. Later he tried to invite the owner to the Fan Pavilion for a drink, but the owner declined.

There were more than 50 people in the teahouse. They all appreciated what the owner had done, saying that such things were rarely seen in the world. Someone said, "This is a perfect example of 'Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, and I know' that Yang Zhen, a well known official from the Han Dynasty, talked about,

The old people often say, "Never do anything that goes against your conscience." The ancients also said, "Human beings are born with good natures." Actually, we can still distinguish good from evil in many situations. It is only when one is interfered with by acquired notions or is tempted by personal interests that one cannot hold to one's purity, generosity, and moral principles. A real gentleman should revere gods and Heaven, follow the moral standards of human beings, restrict himself with "prudence" and "self-discipline," and have a clear conscience about every deed he does.

(Clearwisdom.net)

In the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty, there was a person named Ye Chunren. He was a government officer for over thirty years and he was uncorrupted and disciplined. When he resigned from his position, his subordinates wanted to see him off by sending him a boat. However, the boat did not come until it was dark and the moon was high. It turned out that those officers prepared it as a parting gift for him. They deliberately waited until it was dark so that others would not see it. Ye Chunren turned down the gift and wrote a poem, saying

At midnight, with the moon bright and the wind cool
A farewell boat with gifts came late
I appreciate your caring, but I have to return the boat
Afraid not that others may know, but that I know

"Not afraid that others may know, but that I know" is the spirit of self-control. It tells people that one can control and behave oneself by following certain rules. In traditional Chinese culture people stress "not to misbehave in a dark room," meaning that even though nobody would know about it if we did a wrong deed, we should still follow our moral standards. People who believe in gods and heaven know that our every thought and every move are being watched.
