Solemn declaration
I am 16 years old now and learned Falun Dafa in 1998, together with my parents and my elder brother. My school study records have improved and my relationship with classmates became better and better since I started practicing Dafa. Then Falun Dafa suddenly encountered Jiang Zemin's persecution. My mother and I again went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa.
After we were sent back from Beijing, my brother and I were immediately detained at school and were forbidden to go home for several days. Whenever a "sensitive day" came, arrangements were made to eat and stay in our teacher's home and our teacher would monitor us. In the Spring 2001, the Education Bureau set up a brainwashing program. The officials did not allow me to take regular classes. Many teachers surrounded me and talked nonsense to me. They said that if I didn't write the "guarantee statement" I would have to copy defamatory reports that slandered Falun Dafa from the newspaper; otherwise I would be sent to a brainwash session and have to pay two thousand yuan.
Due to pressure from the school and the feelings toward our teacher as well as the thoughts of my father's unlawful arrests and my mother's recent release from illegal detention, I copied the sentences from the newspaper that defamed Falun Dafa. During the course of writing I cried. I knew that I had violated Dafa and betrayed our Master. As a youngster, I even felt that my life had lost its significance.
Although what I have done was wrong and I am regretful to Dafa and Master, I didn't realize the seriousness of what I had done. In the past few years I was trying to find various excuses to distance myself from that. During a recent discussion with my mother I felt that I should break through this obstacle and should not always have a negative mindset. Today, while my mother and I were reading Minghui articles and saw the fellow practitioners' experience sharing, writing a declaration, I realized that what I did was not only a bad spot on my cultivation and had impacted the image of Dafa, but, if I don't raise my level, I would also provide a place for the evil to exist. This also interferes with Master's Fa-rectification to a certain extent. Thus, I hereby solemnly declare that all I did and said before that don't conform Dafa become invalid from now on. I will do my best to do the three things that Master asks us to do -- study the Fa, explain the facts and send upright thoughts - to make up the loss in my future cultivation and validation of Dafa.

Solemn declaration
In March 2001, my school held a so-called "Oppose the cults" signature ceremony. My class teacher knew that I practice Falun Gong, so before the signing of our names, no one in our class was told that this signature ceremony was specifically against Falun Gong. I signed my name on a large banner without knowing what it was for and felt extremely distressed afterwards. Now I declare solemnly that my signature on the banner is invalid! I will make this up by working hard and catch up with the Fa-rectification process. I won't disappoint our Master for his grand mercy and tremendous efforts for saving us.
