Summary from China
Since July 1999, some State Departments have adopted various illegal and inhuman methods to treat my family, fellow practitioners and myself, which have caused enormous harm and loss to us emotionally and materially. I now call for help from all social circles to stop the brainwashing classes trampling our freedom of belief and to stop the brutal persecution of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners by the Jiang regime.
Birthday wishes from a mother in prison: My baby, today is your 9-year-old birthday. In sadness, mom can't light the birthday candles for you in person. But no matter where I am, I will give you, my lovely baby, the deepest wish--Happy Birthday! Mom has lost her personal freedom. Although with a single lie of breaking away from Falun Gong, I can be released and return to your side. However, Falun Dafa is innocent, how could I make black into white? One day, when you grow up, you will understand what I am doing now.
A practitioner does not have much money. She rents her apartment to someone else, while she, herself lives in a less expensive place. In this way, she uses the saved 50 Yuan to make Dafa truth-clarifying materials. There is another female practitioner whose workplace only offers her the minimum living fees. Although she needs to take care of her son's expensive tuition, she took out 500 Yuan to make Dafa truth-clarifying materials.
Practitioners Exchange Insights
Report of the Fa-rectification activities at Russia and Iceland (1): [Russia] On the morning of June 3, 38 Taiwanese Falun Dafa practitioners gathered together at the CSK International Airport, starting our 17-days of Fa-rectification journey. On June 5, we obtained the permit to hold activities at a place that is only 100 meters away from that intensively guarded hotel. We held an eighty-hour sending forth righteous thoughts activity there. We understood that all Dafa practitioners' activities including peaceful appealing and sending forth righteous thoughts are all for the sake of letting sentient beings know the truth about Dafa and thus offer salvation to them.
Natural and Man-Made Disasters Are Warnings to Human Beings
The evil of Jiang's regime is the root cause of all natural and man-made disasters that are happening in China -- an account of the disasters in Hunan Province: Xinhuang County in Huaihua Area encountered the heaviest windstorm and hail in thirty years, causing severe damage to crop growth. There have been serious infections of schistosomiasis in Hunan Province. The size of the infected area ranked number one in the whole country, while the number of infected people and animals ranked second. The schistosomiasis appears to be spreading toward the cities from the countryside. A serious coalmine accident occurred in Xinhua City in Hunan on May 15, with 18 people killed. The direct economic loss was over 1 million Yuan.
The terror of Jiang's regime is worse than that of a tiger, causing disasters one after another: A coalmine in Jixi City of Heilongjiang Province had an explosion from methane gas, causing 111 deaths, and 4 missing. Many coalmines in China are illegally operated, some not even providing the most basic safety measures. They resort instead to higher pay to induce miners to enter into the mine and work. Mine accidents are reported on the news almost daily.
