(Clearwisdom.net) Accompanied by her mother, Dai Zhizhen, and local Falun Dafa practitioners, Fadu arrived at an elementary school in Gothenburg. With only a few simple words and sentences, as well as hand-folded lotus flowers and peaceful Falun Gong exercises, Fadu appealed to Swedish children to assist in stopping the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and to rescue the children of the Falun Gong practitioners who are experiencing tremendous suffering.
What Fadu has been through is an example of how children have suffered in the persecution of Falun Gong in Mainland China. The age of children affected by the persecution ranges from eight months to seventeen years old. Some have lost their lives, some have lost their parents, and some have been deprived of their right to education.
On November 7, 2000, an eight-month-old baby boy named Meng Hao and his mother, Wang Lixuan, both died from torture in Beijing's Tuanhe labor camp.
Rongrong, who is just over four years old, and does not have a mother or father. As young as she is, Rongrong was separated from her parents three times before their ultimate loss. Sometimes when she remembers her relatives, she will stand on a stool to reach up and kiss her father's cremation casket. She tells people, "My father is in heaven."
Xuanxuan has not seen his father for three years. He was forced to flee from his home with his family when he was only two years old. In February 2004, when three family members who lived with him were arrested, Xuanxuan was left unattended and had to stay overnight by himself.
Liu Qian, a twelve year-old girl who lived in Gege Village in Hebei Province, was diagnosed with acute leukemia. She fully recovered from the disease after practicing Falun Gong. However, she was denied enrolment to school because she would not give up practicing Falun Gong. Liu Qian died suddenly about one month later.
Chen Si, a thirteen year-old girl who lived in Sha-Ping-Ba District of Chong-Qing City, was arrested in the summer of 2001 while distributing materials that explained the truth about Falun Gong. She was sent to a brainwashing center and a psychiatric hospital for two weeks. When the school term began, the staff of the local "610 Office"* refused to let her return because she would not abandon her belief.
In China, it is not only the families and children of one hundred million Falun Gong practitioners that suffer from the direct persecution, the persecution actually affects every family and every child. China's education administrators were forced to defame Falun Gong, and an anti-Falun Gong signature collection drive was launched in schools to incite hatred against Falun Gong and to poison children's pure hearts.
When Fadu danced harmoniously to a piece of music composed by a Dafa practitioner, all of the children watched quietly. The teacher could not help bursting into tears. Learning about the experience of children like Fadu in China was summoning their conscience and sense of justice.
