Praising Falun Gong practitioners' effort against persecution
In commenting on the piece about the persecution of Falun Gong, she said that she wished everyone supported human rights and would protest the persecution. She praised the practitioners' steadfast efforts to explain the facts of the persecution. She wished more people could work together to change that miserable reality in China.
