The Truth and People's Hearts

I handed a flyer to a lady selling cabbages. I said, "Hi, please read this! You are lucky to receive this, and you will be rewarded if you pass it onto others!" The lady took the flyer and started to read very curiously. The young woman next to her got closer and also started reading. A young couple selling yams across the street said, "Let us be fortunate also!" His neighbor, a middle aged man wanted to read as well, and asked for two flyers. With a smile, I gave a flyer to the woman selling carrots. She looked at it, quickly put in her pocket, and said, "Thank you!"

News from China

The following is an excerpt from the article "Big Brother's Letters (II)"

The so-called "transformation" during the forced brainwashing is the result of mental and physical torture. They try to coerce us through brutal torture, hoping that we would turn away from "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." We must negate this evil act and fundamentally eliminate it from the cosmos with strong righteous thoughts.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "Torture or Fake Kindness Cannot Shake My Righteous Thoughts."

On January 24, 2002, police brutally tortured me. They cuffed both of my hands and feet apart, and put a stainless steel garbage can over my head and on top of my shoulders. They poured cold water on me, with windows open in this cold winter weather, and turned on the electric fan to make me even colder. They banged the garbage can loudly, hoping that I would give my fellow practitioners away and betray Dafa. I remained rock solid. These police saw that their methods were not working, so they turned to being "nice" to me. I was able to keep calm, rational and firm. I clarified the truth to them. At this moment, Dafa showed me its magnificence. The cold water that they had poured over the top of my head tasted sweet. I was not cold at all when they used an electric fan to blow on my soaking wet body. I could not hear the loud noise when they banged on the garbage can. With my steadfast heart and mind, I was able to overcome anything that the evil sent my way.

The following is an excerpt from the article "Terminal Illness Cured through Studying the Fa and Cultivating the Heart, I Never Wavered When Facing the Persecution."

One day at the end of September 2001, I was abducted to the "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) brainwashing class. I thought that I should not be in there, and that I needed to go out to expose the evil and save sentient beings. Under the protection of our benevolent Master, and with powerful righteous thoughts, I walked out of the brainwashing class in a dignified manner and rejoined the current of Fa-rectification.
