Facts about the Persecution

The Tax Bureau of Sa District, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province is persecuting two employees that practice Falun Dafa. One practitioner was detained and sentenced to two years of labor camp. The other practitioner was arrested four times, twice sent to a forced labor camp. She went on hunger strike for 48 days in the last labor camp, and was released because her life was in danger. Upon being released, she was not even fit to take care of herself, but her employer still tried to send her to a brainwashing center.

News from China

Falun Dafa practitioner Ding Lihong was illegally arrested by the Huaidi Police of Shijiazhuang City in August 2001. He refused to cooperate with their interrogations and went on hunger strike. He was released one month later. Ding Lihong is sincere and serene, and his fellow practitioners like to share experiences with him. No matter who it is that has been arrested, he always goes with fellow practitioners to visit their families, to help their family members who do not cultivate to understand Dafa, and to establish their righteous thoughts.

The following is an excerpt from "A Letter to 'Transformed' Practitioners in Yunnan Province."

I used to be a "transformed" Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province. I returned to Fa-rectification cultivation and experienced Master's grand mercy. I am determined to always from now on live up to the benevolent salvation Master offers, to walk my path righteously, and to be a genuine Dafa disciple.

Practitioners Exchange Insights

The following is an excerpt from the article "Redouble Our Efforts, Keep up with the Fa-rectification."

Some practitioners know that they have fallen in levels, and they feel it is hard to keep up. They imagine that Master will allow them to cultivate after the Fa rectifies the human world, so they anxiously but passively await the arrival of the Fa's rectification of the human world. In fact, as long as there is even one day left before the end of the Fa-rectification, we still have a chance to cultivate back to our true selves and catch up. We should urgently do well with the three things that Master has asked us to do.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "Walking out of a Labor Camp in a Dignified Manner."

The evil tricked me and sent me to a labor camp two years ago on January 11, 2001. I did not accept the sentencing because I did nothing wrong, so I wrote appeals. The police asked me to write transformation letters, otherwise they would beat me, and I would be deprived of sleep and food. Then I wrote down, "People have to walk their own paths. No one can change another's path. As a Dafa disciple, doing well in the Fa-rectification is of the greatest importance." With righteous belief in Master, I walked out of the labor camp in a dignified manner several days later. I was illegally sentenced to two years, but I left in five months.
