[China] Practitioners Successfully Hold an Experience Sharing Conference in a Northern Capital City
At the beginning of the year 2004, Dafa practitioners received "Master's New Year's Day 2004 Greeting to Dafa Disciples." In a northern capital city, some Dafa practitioners broke through the heavy blockade and obstacles to successfully hold an experience-sharing conference along with a few other practitioners from another city.
In the experience sharing conference, the visiting practitioners related their own experiences of righteous thoughts and righteous actions, including:
1. Studying the Fa in a group environment;
2. Clarifying the truth to people face-to-face;
3. Realizing the magnificent power of sending righteous thoughts collectively;
4. Exposing the local evildoers to the local people.
Since a large number of provincial departments and units are involved in persecuting Dafa in that capital, practitioners exposed the evildoers in these places, such as the Provincial Forced Labor Bureau, the Political & Judiciary Committee, the Provincial "610 Office,*" the Provincial Police Department, the Bureau of Justice, the Forced Labor Committee, the Provincial Forced Labor Camp, Prison, Detention Center, Prison Hospital, Mental Hospital, and also to all kinds of brainwashing classes that directly persecute Dafa practitioners. Practitioners realized that we must persistently send righteous thoughts, everyday, regarding those departments to clean out the evil behind them in other dimensions, and agreed to collectively send righteous thoughts at 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 p.m. everyday in addition to the normal times for sending righteous thoughts.
Those who have turned away from Dafa as a result of the persecution also need practitioners' compassionate help and persistent righteous thoughts. Practitioners realized that as long as the Fa-rectification is not yet over, there are opportunities for those who have gone astray to make amends.
Another topic involved working on letting go of human notions and the attachment to fear, and letting go of a selfish and narrow self-protection mentality is breaking old forces' arrangements. Walking a righteous path is the key of offering salvation to sentient beings.
From this conference, the practitioners realized the importance of cooperation and coordination as one body. Practitioners further understood that time is very precious and pressing, and had a clearer understanding of our responsibilities and missions. Practitioners realized the old force's time is up, and it's Teacher's boundless benevolence that is keeping all sentient beings in existence.
Practitioners collectively sent righteous thoughts before the meeting was concluded. Two of the practitioners witnessed magnificent and unusual flowers being cast from above. This has strengthened our practitioners' determination and courage to strive forward in cultivation and assisting Teacher during the Fa-rectification.

[Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Excruciating Police Torture Causes Mental Breakdown for Practitioner Ms. Wu Meijuan
Dafa practitioner Ms. Wu Meijuan from Dalian City is 40 years old. She lives at No.2, 7th Floor, Gate 1, Chunliu Xinhua Book Store and sells stationary on the 5th floor in the Chunliu Commercial Building. At 6:40 p.m. on January 20, 2003, personnel from Beigangqiao Street's Administrative Committee abducted her while she was posting Dafa truth-clarifying signs and sent her to the Huanghe Road Police Station. Policemen there tortured her with excruciating methods in order to force her to reveal the source of the materials. They beat Wu Meijuan into unconsciousness, and then even said that she was faking it. They continued to beat her until she had a mental breakdown. She could not recognize her child, husband, family members or anybody else. That same day her home was ransacked twice, and she was sent to the Yaojia Detention Center. The police are planning to send her to a mental hospital later.
We call on overseas practitioners to make phone calls, write letters and send righteous thoughts to rescue Wu Meijuan.

[Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Arrest of Two Practitioners
In the beginning of November 2003, practitioner Ms. Gao Limei from the Caidian District in Wuhan City was arrested while clarifying the truth about Dafa. Police put her into a brainwashing class and threatened her that her son could not go to school unless she gave up Falun Gong. The "610 Office" personnel promised that as soon as Dafa practitioner Ms. Gao would write the "guarantee statement," to announce giving up Falun Gong, they would release her, so she wrote it. However, she was then sentenced to one year of forced labor. As practitioners, we should resist the persecution at any time with righteous thoughts and righteous actions, and refuse too let the old forces latch on to any excuse to persecute us.
