News from China
A practitioner left home and wandered the streets to avoid further persecution. His wife, also a practitioner, stayed at home alone with their child. Because she suffered frequent harassment at home, she was unable to take care her crops. But her crops grew very well themselves. People comment, "Your land hasn't been properly tended to yet those crops grow so well!" She said to them, "It's because Dafa goes beyond human being's rules."
Practitioners Exchange Insights and Experiences
Singapore Practitioners Experiences about Making Phone Calls: One day, I talked with a person on duty in a paper mill for more than one hour. At the beginning, he kept saying that we are against the government. After talking for a while, he changed his tone and said, "It's OK if you just practice Falun Gong at home." Then he further changed his words and said, "I'll not be against Falun Gong." I realized that Dafa penetrates all the universes levels from the top to the bottom. What we have done in clarifying the truth to the public, is actually a reflection of the lowest universes level based on our understandings of Dafa. Through speaking out the truth, we are able to let people get to know how good Dafa is so that they all can be saved.

An Overseas Letter to the General Office of Education and Liaoning Engineering & Technology University in, Hubei Province
To Whom It May Concern:
My nephew Cao Qun was dismissed from the university in 2001 because he practices Falun Gong. Later on, "giving up his belief" was a condition of his reinstatement in school. In 2001, he was sentenced to a 2-year prison term in Dalian, Liaoning Province for clarifying the truth to the public. After completing his term he has returned home. A highly regarded institution of learning took away a person's human rights to education. This type of intimidation is totally ridiculous in the modern society. The United Nation's Constitution and Human Rights Conventions protect obtaining an education and enjoying freedom of belief. China has signed those treaties. Currently, Cao's case has been reported to the United Nations. Cao's experience has also been published on the Internet. The whole world is watching Cao Qun's case. I sincerely hope you are able to handle this case with wisdom and with a long-term perspective in mind, allowing Cao Qun to return to university and continue his studies.
