1. [Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province] Truth-Clarifying Flyers Are Spread Everywhere on Chinese New Year

Around the time of Chinese New Year in 2004, many Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials were put at places like the City Hall Building, the Department Store Building, the Railway Station, the Residential Buildings of the Financial Bureau, the Police Department, and the Environment Protection Bureau. Especially on Chinese New Year' Day, the flyers about the "Global Trial of Jiang Zemin" could be found everywhere and became a focus of conversation. Meanwhile, the police were in an extremely panicked state. On the third day of the New Year, they conducted a door-to-door search in some areas, focusing on the visitors and non-residents.

9. Advice to Practitioners Making Phone Calls into China

I once heard a story: A non-practitioner had received a phone call from an overseas practitioner. He hung up the phone right away when he heard it was from overseas, fearing that he might have to pay a lot of money for the phone bill. It is free for receiving domestic long distance calls and local calls if someone is using a home phone. Some people might not know that receiving international calls is also free, due to ignorance or rumors spread deliberately by someone trying to stop those who have lost their jobs or are in poor economic conditions from hearing the truth. Practitioners making phone calls to China, please kindly remind the recipients about this issue and eliminate their concerns.
