The Truth Has Walked into People's Hearts
Since August 20th, 2001, Falun Dafa practitioners in Vancouver have been sitting in front of the Chinese Consulate for more than 170 days and nights. Many moving stories happened during this period of time, which show us that people support Falun Dafa, and that their kind nature is awakening. Falun Dafa practitioners in Vancouver will sit in front of the Chinese Consulate until the Fa rectifies the human world.
News from China
Today 45 people declared solemnly that they deeply regret all they did and said which harmed Falun Dafa, and all of it is null and void. They will redouble their efforts to amend what they have done, firmly cultivate Dafa, get rid of their impure minds and deviated opinions, eliminate evil, closely follow the Fa-rectification process, and be genuine Falun Dafa disciples.
A high-ranking elementary schoolteacher suffers persecution
A teacher who is praised by students, parents, colleagues and superiors was illegally, unconstitutionally sentenced to three years of forced labor because she insisted on keeping to her faith in Falun Dafa. She was carried into a brainwashing class by force and as a result, was forced to leave her 80 year-old mother and her son without any one to provide for them and become homeless, moving from place to place to avoid being locked up in the forced labor camps or brainwashing classes again.
This is a brief description of the persecution I experienced for the past two years. I was illegally detained, tortured and had money extorted from me many times. Around 4 p.m. on July 29, 2001, I was kidnapped by a group of policemen from Shuiyuesi Police Station who broke into my home and later brutally tortured me. They sent me to Cangzhou City No. 1 Detention Center where I was further persecuted.
By the end of the year [Chinese Lunar Calendar], I went to Tiananmen Square and unfurled a banner while declaring loudly, "Falun Dafa is good! Restore my Teacher's good reputation!" Four or five police guards ganged up on me and beat me. Inside the Chongwen Detention Center, I took advantage of the opportunity to clarify the truth to the people around me. I also advised them to be good. Five days later, I went home with dignity.
Falun Dafa Overseas
Practitioners in Osaka, Japan clarified the truth to the local Chinese people on Chinese New Year's Eve. Even in the cold wind, many passers-by accepted the truth-clarifying newspapers. Often, the practitioners were so busy passing out the papers that people were politely waiting in line to get theirs and no one left until after getting their copy.
Falun Gong practitioners speak at the organizing committee of the New York Flushing Community Spring Festival Parade: we come here because we hope you can learn more about Falun Gong, maintain that bit of kindness deep down inside, uphold justice and hold to the rules set forth by yourselves. We do not want to see community leaders be controlled by the Chinese Embassy and become their tools to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
Cultivation Experiences
Expose the evil and clarify the truth at all times with our righteous thoughts. On January 21, last year, the police sent us to a forced labor camp. We clarified the truth to the doctors who gave us medical checkups. After learning the truth, the doctors scolded the police harshly and refused to admit us into the labor camp. On February 26 last year, the evil deceived me into a brainwashing class. After I clarified the truth, people in the room all shed tears. The brainwashing class was then aborted.
