[Hebei Province] Brief news from the conference at a county in Hebei Province
On Nov.12, 2000, several dozen Dafa practitioners from more than ten towns of a county in Hebei province assembled and held the largest Dafa conference since July of last year.
In the center of the conference hall was the portrait of our Great Teacher. When the practitioners paid respects to the Teacher, tears welled up in their eyes, and myriads of thoughts came up in their minds. Teacher has given too much!
The participants studied together Teacher's articles, mainly studied the Teacher's recent speech at the Western US cultivation experience sharing conference. They compared their own deeds to the requirement of Dafa, shared experiences and found where they had lagged behind. They are determined to use the parts that have been successfully cultivated to help the Fa-rectification and to safeguard the Fa.
Some participants said, we should quickly transcend the confinement of self-cultivation and actively use our benevolence to purge the wicked, awaken the people and rekindle their conscience and upright heart, expose the lies of Jiang Zemin's sort and let the people with predestined relationships have a good future. In particular, we must cherish the precious time the Teacher has extended for all sentient beings, and strengthen the force in spreading the Fa and safeguarding the Fa. We should remove one's various human notions and attachments and thoroughly promote one's function as a particle of Dafa.
[Tuanhe, Beijing] Pprison forcibly injects psychotic drugs on practitioners
Five to six Dafa practitioners in some districts of Beijing were sent to Tuanhe to attend compulsory "Transformation Class". They have been forcibly injected with psychotic drugs. The drugs were even put into the drinking water. One of the practitioners had been given clues by the Teacher and refused the injection and the drinking water. He used cold water to pour on his body when he could not bear it any further. Three days later he passed through, and was released. The remaining practitioners were all converted. They felt very regretful after being released. Later, their working units wanted to send them to the "Transformation Class" in Tuanhe prison again and they firmly refused to go.
[China] Falun gong becomes key question in entrance exams
I have attended some classes for the graduate school political entrance exam of 2001. The teacher thinks Falun gong is one of the most important topics in the coming exams, and even as a major discussion question with big scores. There also appear in the textbook many questions related to Falun gong. Students from other assistance classes on political exam said their situation was the same. Many books on the graduate entrance exams, including the relatively more authoritative reference books, have included Falun gong topics.
My investigation shows that all sorts of assistance books for the college entrance exams, high school entrance exams, and even exams for middle schools and elementary schools have the same types of questions. These youths and teenagers are going to face their tests to reposition themselves. Fellow practitioners, let's continue pushing our effort to save these young lives, to save the children!
[Xingtai, Hebei Province] The police of intensify the persecution of Dafa practitioners
Because the number of practitioners from Xingtai going to Beijing during the National holiday (Oct. 1) was among the highest in the province, the police of Xingtai intensified the persecution of Dafa practitioners. During the interrogation, they first beat and electric-shocked practitioners before asking questions. Especially after they received hints from upper administrations that "beaten to death counts as suicide", they acted without any restraints.
[China] Dafa banners appeared in a city of northern China
In the middle of October the city police took over ten computers and over ten copy machines from practitioners' homes and copy centers. However, practitioners' determination on cultivation has not been suppressed. On Oct. 19, practitioners unfurled three large, shining banners in some residential areas, "Falun Dafa", "Falun Dafa is Good", "Those who attack the benevolent must be evil". Several days later, large banners appeared again in another area of the city.

[China] Distinguishing the truth from the false, and the righteous from the evil in complex situations.
Recently, some policemen and spies have been fabricating and spreading lies like "practitioner so-and-so in the detention center has been transformed " and "majority of practitioners have been transformed" etc. They even gave false information about the determined practitioners persisting in the cultivation practice, saying that they were also transformed and told other practitioners not to have contact with them. Some practitioners who did not know the truth also helped to spread the rumors. We consider this is another vicious approach the evil beings are using to damage the validation of the Fa, to make confusion, to shake the belief of the practitioners. We hope that practitioners could distinguish the truth from the false, the righteous from the evil in the complex situations, not be cheated by the pernicious rumors, and should not unintentionally help to spread the vicious rumors. We should get rid of the disturbance and refine ourselves --particles of Dafa, to be purer and unbreakable.
