Concerned People Telling the World about Falun Gong and the Persecution in China: 2008-06-01

(Clearwisdom.net) Representatives of the World Organization to
Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WIPFG), Epoch Times, and "Quit
the CCP" Service Centers held a forum and press conference in Washington, D.C.,
on June 5, 2008. Spokespersons from the different organizations reported on the
recent CCP-instigated incidents in New York in which mobsters attacked Falun
Gong practitioners and the CCP-controlled Chinese language media misled the
Chinese community, spreading lies to slander Falun Gong around the world through
the Internet, video, and other channels in attempts to shift attention away from
its own imminent collapse. Congressmen at the forum strongly condemned the CCP
and asked the American government to expel the criminals involved.

Forum to discuss violence and mayhem in Flushing incited by the Chinese
Communist Party.

Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher

Mr. Li Dayong, representative of the Quit the CCP Service Center

A video of the CCP-instigated mobsters attacking Falun Gong practitioners in
Flushing was screened at the forum.

Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) strongly protested the CCP's
involvement in these activities. He said the case would be submitted to the
United Nations Security Council and hoped that the American government would
respond.

"I believe that the Chinese consulate and others were responsible for
organizing these thugs and attacking people who were peacefully going about
their business," he said. "The government of the United States should
investigate this and, if I am accurate in my assumption about the cause, should
lodge a protest to the government of China and take as strong an action as
possible, including the request for the removal of the offending parties.

"We cannot have in this country violations of citizens' basic rights being
perpetrated by people who did not respect them in their own country and who try
to impose these kinds of 'values,' if you will, on dissidents in our country."

Referring to the Chinese Consul General for New York, Mr. Peng Keyu, who was
caught on tape about his involvement, Tancredo said, "This guy who organized
this thing--who even admits it--he should be ousted. He should be thrown out of
the country--and a strong protest following that to the government of China.
That's what we should do." Congressman Tancredo said he would contact the White
House and the State Department.

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-California) said, "Falun Gong is standing up
as a symbol of what the true heart and soul of China could be if it wasn't
polluted and tainted with Communist tyranny. The soul of China could be
benevolent and spiritual in nature. They would not trample on the rights of
anyone in the world, and they would be part of the human family.

"And that message of Falun Gong is something that tyrants fear more than
guns, more than weapons. What tyrants fear is the facts. What they fear is the
exposure of their evildoings. There is a good and positive alternative to that
evil--and that is virtue. I admire Falun Gong, and I'm proud to stand up here
with Falun Gong, not just in China, but especially with the Falun Gong
practitioners active here in the United States and facing intimidation."

Congressman Rohrabacher said, "What we have to do is be very diligent, that
in the United States, at least here, we protect the rights of people who are
struggling for freedom. I know in the past we have had our own shortcomings, but
the fact is, today, if the Statue of Liberty means anything, it means that here
in United States, those people who would like to bring liberty and justice to
different parts of the world will be protected... I call on this administration
to make a stand. If we're not going to make a stand anywhere else in the world
against this horribly repressive regime, it should be at least in the United
States that we make that stand."

Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, representative of the World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong, said that, a few days before the Flushing incident,
his organization released an "Investigative Report on the CCP's Control of
Overseas Chinese and Global United Front Work Strategy." The report, released on
the WIPFG website on May 15, was quickly reprinted by websites and BBS not
controlled by the CCP. It covers the CCP's global united front strategy,
overseas forces in action, major tactics used by the CCP to control overseas
Chinese, and how it seeks and gains worldwide resources through an Open Door
Policy. The CCP has established a Chinese immigrant political strategy and
procedures that specifically target the overseas Chinese. They have conducted
systematic, long-term deceptive propaganda and indoctrination of Chinese
Communist ideological concepts. The regime has worked on exploiting Chinese
immigrants' sentimental emotions towards their homeland, confusing them and
lumping together the notion that China and the CCP are the same, and instigating
them to believe that it is legitimate to act loyally to the Chinese Communist
Party.

The report revealed that the CCP controls most of the overseas Chinese media
at different levels and has periodically trained overseas Chinese community
leaders. Mr. Wang said, "It is no secret in the Chinese community. I hope
governments of all countries pay attention to this."

Mr. Li Dayong, a representative of the Quit the CCP Service Centers,
announced that 37,950,000 people had quit the CCP and its affiliated
organizations as of June 5.

New York Police Department: Assaults in Flushing Cannot
Continue

(Clearwisdom.net) The Service Center for Quitting the Party recently
returned to its original site in front of the Flushing Library, and set up four
more service spots in the neighborhood. The New York Police Department (NYPD) is
concerned about the assaults experienced by volunteers at the Service Center.
Andrew Schaffer, NYPD's Deputy Commissioner for Legal Affairs, flanked by two
NYPD legal affairs colleagues, said that the assaults cannot continue, and that
NYPD will protect practitioners from attack.

In the morning of June 5, Schaffer met with the Falun Gong spokesman Erping
Zhang and Norman Siegel, attorney for Falun Gong. Siegel said the meeting was
serious and positive; the NYPD heard the complaints that the rights of Falun
Gong practitioners were not well protected and they promised to improve the
situation. Siegel said his understanding is that the NYPD will have enough
manpower to protect Falun Gong practitioners in future activities.

Mr. Zhang also reported that the meeting was positive. "We planned to meet
with the police from 109 Police Station in Flushing, but the assaults were very
serious and the media has gotten involved, so NYPD is concerned about it too.
Thus we met at NYPD headquarters," Zhang said. "The Deputy Commissioner for
Legal Affairs and two colleagues met with us. They promised to take action
against those who attack and harass Falun Gong practitioners."

Siegel said the focus of the meeting was Falun Gong practitioners' rights
protected by the Constitution. Siegel said they were glad to see that NYPD is
paying attention. "We will see how NYPD carries out their promises in Flushing,
Chinatown and other places in New York," Siegel said.

"Passing out materials and having rallies are rights protected by the
Constitution. Those who attacked them will be punished by the law," said Siegel,
who is a famous human rights lawyer and the chair of the New York Chamber of
American Civil Liberties Union.

Siegel said that freedom of speech is protected by the Constitution.

Siegel said NYPD promised that those who violate this principle and attack
others will be tried as criminals. At the meeting, a five-minute video was
played to show the violent attacks in Flushing. The record of a phone call
conversation between an investigator and the Chinese Consul General Peng Keyu
was also played.

Siegel said everybody at the meeting agreed what happened in the video should
not be allowed to happen again.

Siegel mentioned that violent attacks and damaging practitioners' materials
are not tolerable. He suggested that every practitioner bring a small camera and
take photos of any future incidents, and to report them to the police
immediately.

AFP - US lawmakers blame Chinese government for Falun Gong
attack (excerpts)

(Clearwisdom.net) An AFP report June 5 discussed the recent attacks on Falun
Gong practitioners in New York. Here are some excerpts:

"Two US lawmakers accused the Chinese government Thursday of instigating
attacks on practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual group in New York and
called on Washington to lodge a protest with Beijing."

The practitioners were attacked last month in Flushing, in the New York City
borough of Queens, when they were passing out fliers urging people to join the
36 million who have already quit the Chinese Communist Party.

"Six people were arrested -- three charged with assault and others with
disorderly conduct, the New York Times reported at the weekend, quoting local
police."

The practitioners "circulated what they said was a recording of a telephone
conversation in Mandarin between an investigator working on their behalf and a
high-ranking official in the Chinese Consulate in New York in which the official
was heard approving of the scuffles in Flushing, the newspaper said.

"Republican lawmakers Tom Tancredo and Dana Rohrabacher charged Thursday that
the Chinese government were behind the attacks and called on President George W.
Bush's administration to lodge a protest with Beijing and seek an immediate
explanation.

""I believe that the Chinese consulate and others who were responsible for
organizing these thugs and attacking people who were peacefully going about
their business," Tancredo, the representative from Colorado, told a forum on
Capitol Hill.

""The government of the United States should investigate this and, if I am
accurate in my assumption about the cause, should lodge a protest to the
government of China, and take a strong an action as possible, including the
request for the removal of the offending parties," he said.

"Judy Chen, 48, a Chinese-American mother of two sons serving in Iraq with
the US military, said she was among those assaulted.

""Am I in China or America?" asked Chen, who said she emigrated to the United
States after her family members were victimized during the Cultural Revolution."

"The two lawmakers said the attacks on the Falun Gong practitioners were a
clear violation of the right of religious freedom in the United States.

""We may not be able to help the people of China directly but we can help the
people who live here directly," Rohrabacher said, adding that the US Congress
would push the authorities to get to the bottom of the issue.

People in Spain Express Support for 37 Million Withdrawals
from the Chinese Communist Party (Photos)

(Clearwisdom) On May 31, 2008, the Spanish "Quit the CCP Service
Center" and the Falun Gong Association held a rally in Madrid's Phoenix Square
to condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong and
express support for the 37 million that have withdrawn from the CCP and its
affiliated organizations.

Though it had been raining for quite a few days in Madrid, the people were
not deterred at all, and popular Phoenix Square was bustling and noisy.

When the volunteers from the Service Center were setting out pictures
depicting the CCP persecution of Falun Gong, people immediately gathered to
look. When they saw pictures of the Chinese police beating unarmed elderly
women, electric shocking them, and other kinds of torture, they were indignant
and sad. After viewing the pictures an elderly gentleman repeatedly shook his
head and sighed, "Wherever it goes, the Communist Party will bring disaster. It
is a really human disaster " After seeing the pictures, many people came up
without hesitation to sign the petition to oppose the persecution and support
the 37 million people that have quit the Chinese Communists Party, the Youth
League, and the Young Pioneers. People continued to come up and sign their
names. Sometimes a long queue formed in front of the signature collection table.

Soon after the rally started, it started to rain, but the warmhearted
townspeople, students, and travelers from different countries continued signing
to support Falun Gong and the Chinese people that have quit the CCP. A gale came
up and blew down the picture banner, but the pedestrians soon came and helped to
set it up again. A middle-aged man from Eastern Europe was eager to help
reinforce the banner. He said, "I lived under a communist regime for more than
30 years. I quite understand the evil of the Communist Party, and I support you
guys. You will win in the end."

The people who signed were from different countries and of different ethnic
groups, including Chinese. Chinese people were quitting the CCP on the spot
after learning the truth. A young Chinese man said his grandfather was killed in
the Cultural Revolution, and his father was persecuted as well. Many Chinese
people took copies of the

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party as well as VCDs about Falun
Gong.

Germany: Falun Gong "Information Day" in Freiburg to Raise
Awareness about the Persecution (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners from Germany and
Switzerland held a Falun Gong "Information Day" in Freiburg to disclose the
Chinese Communists' brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and demand
the immediate cessation of the persecution.

It was Saturday, and the weather was fine in Freiburg, so there were many
people out shopping and drinking coffee. The information booth was set up on
Emperor Joseph Street in the city center near the cathedral. Posters were
displayed on the sidewalk so that people could see them easily as they passed
by. A variety of leaflets and other handouts were spread over the exhibition
table so that people could select them easily.

The information day activity started at 9 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. Many
pedestrians who passed the exhibition stopped and stood before the display. They
read the evidence of the CCP's crimes of cruelly persecuting Falun Gong
practitioners and were very surprised. Some requested further information, and
others came to the booth to sign in support of bringing the persecution to an
end. Although some pedestrians did not see the leaflets, once they heard about
the situation, they immediately asked for information. Some asked for several
copies to bring home to their families and friends to let them know that such
horrendous crimes are still occurring in the world today.

At a taxi station at the other end of the street, there was a long queue for
information. On the benches along both sides of Emperor Joseph Street, people
sat, reading practitioners' leaflets. Even in the open area outside the coffee
shops, people were reading truth clarification materials.

Recently, the German people have expressed particular concern about China's
human rights issues. At the exhibition table, many were actively discussing
these issues, such as how the CCP had acted was so different from its decades of
propaganda, and so on.

Facts of the Persecution

Two Brothers and a Sister Arrested and Tortured

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Fu Hongru is over 50 years old and lives in
Tonghua City, Jilin Province. On April 23, 2008, he was arrested by the Tuanjie
police and for the next two days was shocked with electric batons and beaten.
When he was taken to the Changliu Detention Center on April 25, he was covered
with cuts and bruises. To cover up the truth, the police officers wrote on the
arrest warrant that he was arrested on April 25.

Fu Hongru's brother, Fu Hongjian, 46, and sister, Fu Lisa, were also
arrested.

Mr. Fu Hongjian was also arrested by the Tuanjie police. At the police
station, he was so brutally tortured that he was unable to walk. He had to be
carried to Changliu Detention Center. Results of a physical examination showed
that all of his injuries were caused by the Tuanjie police. Just 12 hours after
arriving at the detention center, he was taken to the central hospital of
Tonghua City for medical treatment. After nine days in the hospital, he was
allowed to go home. But the cuts and bruises had not healed and his left eye was
so severely injured that it is permanently damaged.

Seven or eight police officers from Tuanjie Police Station moved Mr. Fu out
of the hospital, telling family members that he could be released on bail for
further medical treatment. When his family arrived to collect him, he was lying
on a stretcher, his left eye was covered by a cloth, and he was very pale. The
hospital staff said they could do nothing more to help him, but his family did
not want to take him home, as he looked so sick. The Tuanjie Police Station
chief lied and said, "All his injuries were incurred when Fu Hongjian tried to
beat up the police." But when the hospital requested a medical fee of four
thousand
yuan,
the police chief said, "The police station will pay the cost."

At present, Mr. Fu Hongru is still in Changliu Detention Center; the
whereabouts and condition of Mr. Fu Hongjian are unknown. Their sister, Ms. Fu
Lisa, was arrested on April 27, and has since been detained at Tonghua Detention
Center.

When the Tuanjie police arrested Fu Hongru, Fu Hongjian, and Fu Lisa, they
confiscated pictures of Fu Hongru and Fu Hongjian with Master in 1993 and 1994
and a bag containing Dafa books.

15 Practitioners and Family Members Arrested in Beijing

(Clearwisdom.net) On May 13 and 14, 2008, the National Security
Brigade from the Beijing Public Security Bureau arrested 15 Dafa practitioners
and members of their families.

At approximately 10:00 p.m. on May 14, 2008, three police officers broke into
Liu Baoguo's home in Haidian District, Beijing. The police ransacked his home
and then arrested him and tenant Jingjing (Dafa practitioner Chen Manxin's
niece). Their whereabouts is unknown. Liu Baoguo's home is in a mess because of
the police ransacking. Since Liu Baoguo is a well-known honest fellow, his
bitter experience has raised public anger.

After experiencing constant harassment, Liu Guifu, wife of Liu Baoguo, moved
abroad in forced exile. Liu Baoguo stopped practicing Falun Gong when the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999 because he
was afraid of what the CCP would do to him and his family. He suffered a relapse
in his health and has struggled with daily pain ever since.

Around 9:00 p.m. on May 13 or 14, 2008, several police officers from the
Third Policing Area, Shunyi Shengli Police Station, Beijing, broke into Liu
Guijin's home (Liu Guifu's older sister). The police ransacked her house, and
arrested Liu Guijin, who has been persecuted by police so much she has become
disabled. She is currently detained at Nihe Detention Center, Shunyi District. A
police officer said to her: "We will send you directly to a forced labor camp in
a few days." In other words, no formal charges would be laid and there would be
no trial to determine her guilt or innocence.

Ms. Chen Manxin of Yanqing District, Beijing, approximately 38, was arrested
on May 13. Her sister, Chen Manping, over 40, who lives in Badaling, Yanqing
District, was arrested on May 14. They are both being held at Yanqing Detention
Center. Their arrests left two elderly, paralyzed relatives at home with no one
to take care of them.

Ms. Tang Liangyou (the fourth sister) is about 55, and lives at Shuangyushu,
Haidian District, Beijing. It is said that she was also arrested on May 13 or
14. Her detention location is unknown.

Ms. Zhang Xiaoli, who lives in Haidian District, Beijing, is over 40. She
recently returned from Guangzhou after visiting relatives. She was arrested by
police after they followed her home.

Husband and wife Jia Shouxin and Xue Weiwei, employees of the Electrical
Engineering Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, were also arrested
by the Beijing National Security Brigade on May 13. Their current situation is
unknown.

The situations of the other Falun Gong practitioners who were arrested around
this same time are unknown.

Following Years of Persecution, His Wife Already in a Labor
Camp, Disabled Man in His 60's is Arrested (Mengyin County, Shandong Province)

(Clearwisdom.net) On May 9, 2008, Falun Gong practitioner Li Zongping,
a disabled senior from Mengyin County, Shandong Province was arrested by police
officers from the local
610
Office and Jushan Police Station. Before this happened, his wife Wang Fafeng
had been sentenced to eighteen months in a labor camp. She was sent to the No.1
Women´s Labor Camp in Shandong Province on January 28, 2008.

Mr. Li Zongping, in his 60s, is from Zhoujiagouzi village in Mengyin Town.
His right arm is disabled, one leg is disabled and he is blind in one eye.
Basically he is unable to work. Before his wife started to practice Falun Gong,
she suffered asthma all year round. When her illness was in a serious state, she
had to lay in bed all the time and could not work either. Their economic
condition was very bad. However, her health improved a lot after she started to
practice Falun Gong.

During the nine years of persecution of Falun Gong, the couple has been
arrested several times. Their home was searched by police. Authorities have
extorted a total of 9260 Yuan from them in so-called "fines." There home was
used as a practice site for local practitioners before the persecution began.
Because of this, Jushan Township officials (now as a part of Mengyin Town) took
500 Yuan from them.

On February 20, 2000, Jiao Yuxiang, Jiang Liangjun and several other
Communist party members established a brainwashing center in Jushan. They
captured more than 30 practitioners including Li Zongping, Gong Weijing, Gong
Fangjian and confined them in the brainwashing center. The practitioners were
forced to watch videos that slander Falun Gong. They were also forced to make
statements that they would not practice Falun Gong anymore. At the same time,
they were forced to curse the founder of Falun Gong. Among all the
practitioners, Li Zongping, Gong Weijing, Gong Fangjian, Du Xiangzhong, Cao
Jinfu and Lu Chuanjiang were persecuted the most severely. They were watched by
guards every night. Any food sent by their family members was taken by the
guards.

Jiao Yuxiang and Jiang Liangjun asked some guards to get drunk and beat Li
Zongping, Gong Weijing, Gong Fangjian, Du Xiangzhong, Cao Jinfu and Lu
Chuanjiang. After being detained for nine days, the authorities of Yushan County
extorted 5000 Yuan from Li Zongping. He was forced to stay in the brainwashing
center for three months. He was also asked to pay 200 Yuan there.

On Febuary 20, 2000, Li Zongping's wife Wang Fafeng was arrested and taken to
Jushan Township Brainwashing Center. She was extorted of 3000 Yuan. She was
forced to stay in the brainwashing center for three months.

The couple are typical victims of this persecution. Even after being
released, because Li Zongping refuses to give up his belief in
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance, he is not allowed to live in peace. Jiao
Yuxiang and Jiang Liangjun often order their subordinates to harass them.

In January 2001, Li was arrested for appealing to the Beijing authorities.
Several days after that, he was released as he refused to reveal his name and
address. On his way back home, he was arrested again at the train station in
Jinan City. Police escorted him back to his hometown of Mengyin. There he was
detained at the local 610 office for more than three months and was asked to pay
260 Yuan for the detention there.

In the beginning of March 2001, the CCP authorities in Jushan Township held a
brainwashing session again to persecute more then thirty local practitioners,
including Gong Weijing, Gong Fangjian, Du Xiangzhong, Li Zongping, Cao Jinfu,
and Ju Chuanjiang. Jiao Yuxiang slandered Falun Dafa and forced the
practitioners to do the same. Anyone who did not obey was locked in a dark room.
Later Li Zongping was detained at Chapengling in Mengyin County for more than a
month.

In December 2001, the 610 Office people tried to capture Li Zongping and his
wife. The couple left home in order to escape capture. Someone else took care of
their teenage child.

In February 2004, the police arrested the couple at their home. Police
smashed their door, pots and pans and other property.

Before the national holiday in Oct 2005, Li Zongping was arrested by the
agents from the 610 Office. He was detained there for 22 days.

In Fall 2006, the 610 Office agents came to search their home and took a DVD
player and three audio players.

At 5 P.M. on December 20, 2007, Wang Fafeng and her fellow practitioner from
Tangjiazhuangzi Village, Jiuzhai County, Wang Zifeng, were reported to the
police when they were clarifying the facts to the villagers in Xiezhuang
Village. Policemen from Jiuzhai Township Police Station came to arrest them.

After Wang Fafeng was arrested, Jiuzhai Township Police Station transferred
her to Mengyin Town that night. Policemen from Mengyin Town searched her home.
They took away Dafa books, identity cards, certificates for disabled people,
welfare card and resident registration book. After the search was done, the
policemen also arrested Li Zongping and detained him at Mengyin County Detention
Center. Finally they set him free after one month. Wang Fafeng was detained at
Yinan County Detention Center. She was sentenced to eighteen months at the labor
camp after one month. Currently she is detained at the No.1 Women´s Labor Camp
in Shandong Province.

After his wife was taken to the labor camp, it became hard for Li Zongping to
have any peace. His life became more and more difficult. He has recently been
arrested again.

Ms. Zhong Fangqiong Tortured in National Security Division of
the Wuhou District Police Department in Chengdu City, Sichuan Provence

(Clearwisdom.net) Chengdu practitioner Ms. Zhong Fangqiong was
arrested on August 1, 2007. Her family was unable to locate her, later
discovering that she had first been "illegally detained" at the Jinhua
Brainwashing Center in Wuhou District and had then taken to the Chengdu City
Detention Center. In November 2007, Ms. Zhong was

illegally arrested under orders from the Wuhou

Procuratorate. About two weeks ago, her case was transferred to the Wuhou
District Court. In the National Security Division of the Wuhou District Police
Department, CCP members beat Ms. Zhong and then smeared some sort of hot
mustard-like chemical on her face that stung very badly. Every part of her skin
in contact with the chemical developed a rash and peeled.

More than ten practitioners were arrested by the Wuhou Procuratorate
including Ms. Mao Kun, Mr. Liu Bangcheng, Mr. Jiang Zonglin, Ms. Liu Jia, Mr.
Ding Zeyang, and also Ms. Zhou Huimin, who has been tortured to death. These
arrests were all ordered by Wang Pengfei (male), head of the National Security
Division of the Wuhou District Police Department.

Around 4 p.m. on August 1, 2007, Ms. Zhong Fangqiong was riding her electric
bike after leaving Ms. Fu's home. Within three minutes after she drove away, she
was forced off her bike by one car and then surrounded by five or six others.
She was then arrested. (It was later learned that those that arrested her had
been waiting in a tea shop below her apartment since 11 a.m. that day). They
then ransacked her home and arrested practitioners who were making flyers in her
home. In fact, the police had already been monitoring her contacts with other
practitioners.

On August 3, Wang Pengfei secretly tok Ms. Zhong Fangqiong, Ms. Liu Jia, Ms.
Xu Xiaorong, and Mr. Li to the second floor of Yuanyuan Hotel in Jitou Town.
After placing them in separate holding areas, they handcuffed Ms. Zhong to a
chair and directed a very bright bulb into her eyes. Police officers took shifts
torturing her in different ways over 24 hours and did not let her sleep.

Because Ms. Zhong did not cooperate with them, around August 13, her "case
manager," Yuan (first name unknown, a police officer in charge of persecuting
Falun Gong, First Division), had already tortured her for ten days. When he
didn't get any results, at around 2 a.m. that night he used police equipment to
stab Ms. Zhong's lower back and thighs in front of the security guard, each time
for about an hour. When she fainted, he would apply the stinging chemical on her
upper and lower eyelids, temples, inside her nose and even in her mouth. Every
inch of her skin touched by the chemical developed a rash, swelling, and peeling
skin.

After depriving Ms. Zhong of sleep for half a month, her feet became swollen
from sitting; the skin on the bottoms of her feet was peeling; her hands had
swollen and started to fester, especially in the wrist area because of the
handcuffs; she became humpbacked due to the handcuffs being affixed to the
ground; and her lower back was intolerably painful. Then, on August 17 from 1
p.m. to around 5 p.m., Pengfei Wang, police officer Yuan (first name unknown)
from the First Division, officer Zeng Tao (male) from another police station,
and a security guard beat her as they drank beer. They shouted, "If we beat you
to death, then we will fill out some random name on the cremation form and
cremate you."

They beat her with their fists and a spindle-shaped rod. Blood poured from
her lips, she saw stars, her head ached, and she felt like fainting. They still
ordered police officer Yuan to apply the stinging chemicals to Ms. Zhong's
already-disfigured face. A strong odor of ammonia overcame Ms. Zhong, and fluids
from her nose, mouth, and eyes all came pouring out. Ms. Zhong was in shock, her
entire face in severe, stinging pain, and she fainted immediately.

Police in Huai'an City Arrest a Head Nurse

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Hu Yunqin, 45, is the
head nurse at the Chinese Medicine Hospital in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province.
On April 15, 2008, she was taken by police from her workplace and detained for
15 days. During her detention, she was subjected to physical and mental torture.

After her release, Ms. Hu was still in a lot of pain, according to reports.
Her left eye still has blurred vision. She had been beaten, her eyes left
bleeding. She sees black dots in front of eyes. The wound around her wrist has
not healed. More details follow:

Ms. Hu Yunqin is very dedicated to her work and never complains. Around 9am
on April 15, 2008, Qinghe District "610" office policemen Zhang Shulin,Wang
Jianhuai, and two other policemen came look for Hu with the help of Wei Yujie,
the head of the security department at the hospital. They wanted to search Hu's
home. Ms. Hu refused to cooperate with them and continued to work.

The police surrounded Hu and took away her keys, cell phone, ID card, a few
pens, and other items related to her work. The officers handcuffed Ms. Hu and
dragged her toward the police vehicle. The handcuffs cut into her wrist and left
a blood stain on her clothing.

Once Ms. Hu was forced into the police vehicle, policeman Wang Jianhuai
started beating her, grabbing her hair and slapping her face. Several police
took Ms. Hu's key and went to her home led by Wei Yujie. They took away a
computer, a MP3 player, two U-discs, a picture of Teacher, Dafa books, CDs, and
personal items.

Ms. Hu Yunqin was detained at Huai'an Detention Center. Because she refused
to cooperate with police at the detention center, a policeman named Wang beat
her so badly that her left eye had hyperemia, and she lost control of her
bladder. The next day, she still had blood in her mouth and nose, and her face
was covered with bruises.

During her detainment, policemen Wang Jianhuai and Zhang Shuling went to the
detention center several times to torture her. Ms. Hu's family was not allowed
to visit her.

After being detained for 15 days, Ms. Hu Yunqin was released on April 30.
None of the articles the police had taken from her was returned.

I Saw Shenyang Police Openly and Illegally Arrest Three
Practitioners

(Clearwisdom.net) At around 9 a.m., May 23, 2008, I passed by the
Street Neighborhood Council of Fengyutan in Shenhe District, Shenyang City,
Liaoning Province. I witnessed six policemen arrest three practitioners.

There were many people surrounding the neighborhood council. I approached
them to see what was happening. I saw a young man pushed into a police car and a
policeman guarding him. A young policeman grabbed an old lady by the arms and
dragged her around. The old lady pointed to the young man in the police car and
said, "Let my son get out of the car. My son does not practice Falun Gong. Why
did you arrest him?" The officer said, "As long as your son is with you, we will
arrest him."

After a couple of minutes, another police car came by and stopped near the
old lady. The policeman pushed her roughly towards the car. She resisted getting
into the car and asked, "Why are you arresting me?" He answered, "To ask you
some questions." She said, "What kind of law did I break? I practice Falun Gong,
but I did not do anything wrong. How can you arrest me? Whatever you want to
ask, just ask me here, in front of all these people." The policeman said, "I
will ask you after you get into the car." The old lady said, "There is no need
for me to get into the car, just ask me here."

The old lady turned around and saw two policemen pushing another old lady,
her relative, into a police car. "Why are you arresting my relative? Leave her
alone!" The policemen said, "She was with you. Whoever is with you, we will
arrest them as well." They lifted her relative into the car. The old lady asked,
"You are arresting people so casually. Do you have ID?" One policeman showed her
his police ID and said, "We are from the Shenhe Branch of the Police
Department."

The police pushed and dragged the old lady into the police car and took her
away. We don't know where they went.

After the police left, I heard people around me saying, "That practitioner
lives nearby. She had just left her home with her son to do some business, then
she got arrested. These policemen are crazy! They not only

illegally arrest Falun Gong practitioners, but also arrest anyone with
practitioners!"

Others said, "The Chinese Communist Party only exercises its power over
common people. This kind of suppression will definitely make many people
indignant."

Practitioners Exchange Insights and Experiences

My Understanding of Passing the Test of Sickness Karma

(Clearwisdom.net) I've experienced sickness karma again. While
enduring the suffering this time, I thought, "But recently I have felt that I
have been diligent in my cultivation." Actually I was not strict with myself and
was not meeting the requirements of a Dafa practitioner. That night when I fell
asleep, a loud voice woke me up. I clearly remembered the scene in the dream. In
the dream I was very busy, just like I was in ordinary society. I had been busy
all day and my mind was not on the
Fa.
I was allowing myself to be affected by everything in ordinary society and was
horrified when I realized this. And then it seemed that Master asked the old
forces and rotten demons to stop persecuting me. However, they shouted, "Look at
her, shouldn't we persecute her?" Hearing this, I woke up.

I came to understand that Master had arranged for me to hear this, to
enlighten me so that I could rectify myself.

Although I intended to be diligent, I was not always diligent. Before I
obtained the Fa, I was on the verge of death health-wise. Then I started
practicing Falun Gong. After I became a practitioner in 1996, I was in the state
of perceptually understanding the Fa. Sometimes I was diligent and sometimes I
would slack off. Each time when I read other practitioners' experience sharing,
I felt I should be diligent. However, after interacting with ordinary society, I
could not hold myself to a practitioner's standard, and I would act just like an
everyday person. Sometimes I repented for not cherishing the Fa and not being
diligent. I was often affected by false appearances and did not genuinely
cultivate. In addition, I did not treat cultivation seriously and instead
cultivated on the basis of living a good life in ordinary society. In regards to
Fa study, Master told us the importance of Fa study again and again. Every day I
studied the Fa, but I treated Fa study as just accomplishing a task. Sometimes I
was drowsy as I read, and sometimes a lot of impure thoughts would emerge.
Master told us, "When your mind isn't at peace, studying the Fa is not
effective. You should study it with a peaceful mind." ("A Heavy Blow" in
Essentials for Further Advancement)

During the past few years, although I had been studying the Fa, my mind was
not on the Fa and I did not solidly cultivate myself. Therefore, when I met with
the sickness karma, I did not understand it with righteous thoughts. I simply
thought that I had not cultivated well and still had some karma to eliminate. As
a result of this thought, the sickness karma became more severe. My child said,
"You've this issue several times." He reminded me, "Master told us that veteran
practitioners will no longer have sickness karma."

I studied very few lectures in which Master addressed this issue after July
20, 1999. I always looked outward instead of inward and felt that I didn't have
enough time and that I was too busy working. But as soon as I would experience
sickness karma again, I would make time to be diligent; the rest of the time, I
relaxed my righteous thoughts. A few days ago I dreamed that when I bought rice,
there was a hole in the plastic bag and rice fell out, so I covered up the hole
and continued walking. I even tried to conceal the hole from others. I came to
understand that Master was enlightening me to this: that I do not cultivate
steadfastly and I only cultivate to amend the loopholes. My basis of cultivation
is not righteous. As a being, I should assimilate to the Fa diligently;
otherwise, even though I appear to cultivate perfectly on the surface, my

xinxing does not meet the requirement of the Fa, so I am not
genuinely cultivating, which will be harmful to others, including myself. I hope
that through my experience sharing, other practitioners who are in the same
state can rectify themselves immediately. I hope they can learn a lesson from me
and treat cultivation seriously and not let Master down.

Previously I did not intend to send this article to the Minghui/Clearwisdom
website. I felt so embarrassed and was afraid that nobody else cultivated as
poorly as me. After reading the articles that were posted on the "Minghui
Weekly," I learned that when fellow practitioners were persecuted by
sickness karma, practitioners around them helped them compassionately. I should
look within. At the same time, I hope my experience will be helpful to other
practitioners.

Please kindly point out anything improper.

I Found My Fundamental Attachment

(Clearwisdom.net) I have always considered myself very diligent in my
cultivation. Aside from the

three things Teacher asked us to do, I was extremely reluctant to do
ordinary work. In addition, whenever I did not finish the goal I set for myself
every day, I would feel bad. I was nervous and did not dare to stop. I felt as
if I would lose something if I stopped. But I did not dig deep to find the
reason. Rather, I thought that this could force me to be diligent. A fellow
practitioner once reminded me that I was too attached to my personal cultivation
and tried to hide my attachment. I did not pay attention and thought that "there
was nothing wrong with being diligent."

Several days later, I shared experiences with this fellow practitioner again.
He mentioned that people who will be left behind will have to bear lots of
hardship before they can enter the new universe. I looked into his eyes and
said, "I must cultivate to reach consummation. I will never be left behind." I
was frightened by my strong attachment. He said immediately, "You must have an
attachment. It is the fundamental attachment that made you start cultivation."

I recalled my cultivation path. Before I started practicing Falun Gong, I
suffered hardships in ordinary society and often felt that life was hard. With
the mindset of getting away from bitter ordinary society, I started practicing
Falun Gong. In 2000, after I unfurled a banner in Tiananmen Square, I was taken
to a detention center for several days and was tortured. When I saw the torture
other practitioners had suffered, my heart of not being willing to bear hardship
surfaced. I hid and studied the
Fa
at home after that. Because I did not keep up with the pace of Fa-rectification,
I quickly dropped down to the level of ordinary people.

In 2006, I was shocked by the death of my mother-in-law. Witnessing her
suffer miserably for three months, I was moved. I started to think, "Although I
need to bear hardship if I practice Dafa, I can ultimately escape from the pain.
To remain human, however, I must bear hardship endlessly because of accumulated
karma." I then made up my mind to become resolute in my conviction to practice
Falun Dafa. and to never be shaken. In the past two years, I was indeed very
diligent. Fearing that it would interfere with my doing the three things, I was
unwilling or dared not to work in ordinary society. Now I realize that this is
not true cultivation. It is instead pursuing my own personal interests from
within Dafa. In other words, I still have not given up my fundamental attachment
to this day.

I am ashamed of myself, as fellow practitioners are whole-heartedly saving
sentient beings in the Fa-rectification period. Many practitioners completely
let go of their own selves and make Fa validation and saving sentient beings
their priority. But I am still here with my filthy selfish thought.

Letting go of my fundamental attachment is a breakthrough on my cultivation
path. I will eliminate my selfishness and truly melt into Dafa and become a Dafa
particle. With a pure heart, I will do the three things well and live up to
Teacher's compassionate salvation.

Reflections on Attending the Parade in Manhattan

(Clearwisdom.net) On May 25, 2008, over 2000 practitioners attended a
grand parade through the streets of New York in Manhattan Chinatown. I felt a
true war between righteous and evil during the parade. The evil was wiped out by
a soul-shaking power so strong that I couldn't calm down long time after I went
home.

The Divine Land Marching Band led the parade, followed by sections dedicated
to "the beauty of Falun Dafa," the "truth of the persecution," and "quitting the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP)." It was the first time I heard the Divine Land
Marching Band play so close to me. Magnificent energy radiated outward, imbued
with compassion and inviolable dignity. I was thrilled and felt there was a
stream of energy coming from inside of me. This made me think that Dafa offers
salvation with compassion, which coexists with dignity. When a being is offered
choices but refuses to do the right thing, the only choice that is left will be
elimination.

The parade set off at noon, following a couple of hours of getting ready, and
sending righteous thoughts. The procession stretched out along on the narrow
streets in Chinatown. When I used to parade in California, most people simply
clapped when they knew that it was a Falun Gong parade. This time was different.
Passersby read every word on the banners carefully, and some even out loud. A
group instigated by the CCP to make trouble during the parade hid under the
shadow of an overpass and yelled at us. I figured some of them had been involved
in beating practitioners at the "quitting the CCP booth" in front of the
Flushing Library. The banner I held said "the CCP is being eradicated." People
reacted differently in front of me, the CCP supporters cursed me and those who
knew the truth gave loud applause and cheered.

Before we got to the underpass where the troublemakers were gathered, my
heartbeat rose and my legs felt fatigue. I didn't know why. Suddenly a
practitioner next to me said, "quickly send righteous thoughts." I knew Teacher
was giving me a hint and I did so immediately. The second I said "mie
(eliminate)," I saw a golden screen as wide as the street come out and in no
time swept through every corner in front of me and cleaned all the evil. I was
suddenly energized. I realized no matter how a person is on the surface, Teacher
wants to save him/her. Buddha's grace is immense. Teacher gave the CCP's
followers another chance by cleaning the evil behind them in another dimension.
As long as the last moment hasn't yet arrived, they still have a chance to be
saved and see the grace of Dafa. Practitioners can do very little on the
surface, Teacher is the one who can truly save people, and he will not give up
on anyone. We need to keep our righteous thoughts and one thing in mind, "saving
people." Teacher saved the CCP's followers by cleaning their demonic side, to
lay a foundation for their future salvation.

When I walked under the overpass, I felt as though I was infinitely big, as
if nothing exists anymore besides one thought, "save people quickly." As we
walked by the overpass, I heard applause and cheering from a group of passersby
in front of us. One of them shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" I almost cried. I knew
that Teacher was encouraging us. Teacher omits nothing and thinks about us in
every detail. How lucky we are to be practitioners, there is no reason for not
doing the three things well.

My fellow practitioners, let us work together and walk every step well during
the Fa rectification. No matter whether we receive cheers or curses on the way,
we have Teacher and the Fa. We should not be conceited or discouraged; we should
walk to the end openly and nobly.

Sharing from a Practitioner Who First Learned Falun Gong in a
Detention Center

(Clearwisdom.net) I first learned Falun Gong in a detention center in
April 2001, during a time when the persecution against the practice was very
rampant. I have been practicing and studying the
Fa
consistently for just over two years. Although I haven't done well, I would like
to write down my experience to share with fellow practitioners and also to
encourage myself.

I relied on studying the Fa to maintain righteous thoughts. On the Minghui
website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom), I read a lot of sharing articles
written by fellow practitioners and learned about the

three things we should do. To

clarify the facts, I made brochures and weekly publications from information
on the Internet and distributed them myself. I found that the process of making
brochures was also a process of cultivation. I was able to eliminate a lot of
attachments, such as the attachment to doing projects.

In residential areas with security guards, it was relatively easy to
distribute truth-clarification materials, because for each building, there was a
mailbox for each unit at the bottom of the stairs. However, many advertisements
were also distributed there, and people often threw them away immediately. In
order to help those with predestined relationships learn the facts, I put the
materials in envelopes and sometimes printed pictures on the envelopes as well.
I complemented the brochures with the weekly publications. When I made a
brochure, I would ask myself if I would want to read it myself if I were an
ordinary person and what types of materials would interest me. I started with
where I lived. The first time I did it, I prepared the material the night before
and waited until the evening. Because my husband returned home late, I told my
child that I was going to be out for a little and left. But even before I
reached the bottom of the stairs, my legs started shaking and my heart was
pounding. I reminded myself that what I was doing was the most righteous thing
in the universe and that I was looked after by Master. Still, I was afraid of
people seeing me, as though I was a thief. Actually, nobody saw me. It was only
that I lacked righteous thoughts. Although Master was protecting me, I was still
scared. Distributing the materials didn't take very long, and I didn't have any
trouble at all. I was delighted. I only hoped that people with predestined
relationships could learn the truth and be awakened.

Gradually my fears went away. I thought it was better to hand out information
during the day. I started with my own residential area and expanded my coverage.
Once I was handing out materials in a residential area with a great many
security guards. When I saw that there was no security guard near me, I
distributed a few more brochures in one particular building. As I turned around
to walk towards another building, a security guard stopped me and asked what I
was doing. At first, I didn't remember to use righteous thoughts to eliminate
the evil elements behind the security guard and was a bit flustered. I told him
that I had an appointment to sell insurance. The security guard asked which unit
I was visiting. I didn't know what to say. He asked me to open my bag. I said he
didn't have the right to check my bag. We debated for a while and I didn't know
how to escape. Suddenly, my compassion emerged. I thought, "I can't just let him
be destroyed like this." As my thoughts changed, he signaled for me to leave and
escorted me to the gate. My only regret was that I failed to clarify the facts
to him. When I returned home, I looked inward and saw that I had attachments to
fear and to doing projects. Actually, human beings are very weak. If they
weren't controlled by other elements, they couldn't do anything to cultivators.
If my first thought had been to eliminate the evil factors that controlled him
and then I clarified the facts, wouldn't that have been great! Aren't we here to
save people? Otherwise, why are we handing out truth-clarification materials?
All of this is about saving people. I didn't do well because I hadn't studied
the Fa well, and my one thought led to my failure to clarify the truth to him.

Some fellow practitioners were sending forth righteous thoughts close to
different targets. I followed a route near a prison to send forth righteous
thoughts. Along the way, there was a lot of interference, and I felt very
afraid. I learned from other practitioners' experiences and repeated to myself,
"Falun Dafa is great, 'Truth-Compassion-Tolerance' is great." Shortly after, my
hands stopped sweating profusely, and my heart stopped pounding. The bus
transfer also went very smoothly. After one hour of sending righteous thoughts,
I returned home safely.

I also write facts about the persecution on
yuan
bills and use them to clarify the truth. The first time I did it, I walked
around three times in the supermarket to observe how vegetable vendors collect
money. I saw that they didn't check the bills at all, so I spent the marked
bills in a hurry. Later I realized that if people didn't look at the bills, my
efforts would be in vain. I began sending forth righteous thoughts when I wrote
on the bills to help those with predestined relationships learn the facts. As my
righteous thoughts became stronger, my heart also calmed down. Now, everyday, if
I don't spent some bills with persecution facts on them, I feel that I have
failed to complete an important task.

I once dreamed that I followed Master to the human world, but I did not do
well to meet Master's requirements. In the last few months, I have lagged
behind. Even when I realized this, I had a hard time correcting myself. From now
on, I will continue to improve through Fa study and continue to be diligent. I
will do even better in the three things Master asked of us.

Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.

Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners.

To Be a Dafa Disciple and Truly Cultivate Myself

(Clearwisdom.net) You will find the true meaning of life as long as
you have the predestined relationship to obtain the
Fa.
Whenever you truly cultivate Dafa, you will understand the hardship of
cultivation and the bitterness and happiness involved in improving your
character and letting go of your attachments. I would like to share some of my
cultivation experiences in the hope of inspiring people to learn the truth and
obtain the Fa. I also hope that it may provide some help to fellow
practitioners.

Return to Dafa

I obtained the Fa in 1996 and almost immediately I could feel the Law Wheel
spinning in my body. The constipation and migraine headaches that I had suffered
from for years disappeared, and both my mind and body were purified. But my
understanding of Dafa remained at the level of perceptual knowledge and I didn't
cultivate myself truly and diligently.

During July 1999, the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spread lies about
Master and Dafa, and the cruel persecution of Dafa disciples began. I stopped
cultivating for three years. I walked along the path arranged by the old forces
because of my attachment to laziness and a longing for comfort. I didn't study
the Fa diligently, and I behaved just like an ordinary person. I accompanied the
guests of our company to go out eating and drinking, and I played cards during
the day and danced at night. On the surface, it appeared that I was having fun,
but I felt very hollow inside. The pressure of work, family disharmony, and
getting ill tired me out both mentally and physically.

In July 2002, when my husband announced that he wanted to divorce me, I
suddenly got a fever as high as 40 C. I stayed in the hospital for two weeks,
but the fever persisted. At that time I just didn't want to live anymore. Then I
thought about the injustice of the persecution against Dafa disciples and how
Master and Dafa were being slandered. Even I, no longer diligent, was always
under the surveillance of the police station, the government, and my company,
and I couldn't do as I pleased. At the moment I had one thought: "My death would
be of no value. I must validate the Fa and live for Dafa."

I took down the case from attic and held

Zhuan Falun in my hands. At that time, I hadn't read the book for
three years. When I re-read the First Lecture, I felt a Falun rotating from my
left arm to my whole body. Suddenly, I felt relaxed and energetic.

At that moment, I held the picture of Master, and, kneeling down before His
picture, I swore, "Master, I give you my life and will walk the path you
arranged. I will cultivate diligently and doubly compensate for the losses I
brought to Dafa and Master. I will cultivate in Dafa until the end."

The Miracle of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

When I returned to cultivation practice, the interference I experienced was
very strong at the beginning. When I learned that we could send forth righteous
thoughts to eliminate them, I sat on my bed and sent forth righteous thoughts to
the police station, the government, and
610
Office to clear out their records containing my information and pictures. At
first when I held my hand up to send forth righteous thoughts, my hand would
involuntarily wobble and I knew that this was the fight between justice and
evil. I kept on doing it until I had cleared them out. In the end I heard people
from the government saying that they didn't have any records of me and nobody
watched me any longer.

In August 2002, when my husband saw that I had resumed my cultivation
practice again, he was both happy and worried. He was happy because I no longer
quarreled with him, I treated him very well, and I looked healthy. But he was
worried that if my company knew that I had started to cultivate again, they
might fire me.

When I saw his mood, I just had the thought that, "I must save you." One
night, I used my finger to write the character "eliminate" on his back while he
was asleep. I sent out righteous thoughts towards him all night. The next day,
he read the

truth clarification materials and even Zhuan Falun.

When my daughter saw this, she also entered cultivation practice. Three of us
in our family cultivated Dafa together under the compassionate arrangement of
Master.

"But in spite of this, Master only looks at the fact that they came down to
obtain the Fa initially. So regardless of who it is, as long as he develops the
thought of wanting to cultivate today and enters the practice, Master will offer
him salvation." ("Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia")

Distributing Truth Clarification Materials

After Master's new article "Hurry Up And Tell Them" was published, I worked
during the daytime and went out to distribute truth clarification materials to
different villages at night. Soon, we began to run out of truth clarification
materials, so we bought some red paper and made signs saying, "Falun Dafa Is
Good," "Falun Dafa Is the Righteous Fa," "Restore Our Master's Good Name" "Falun
Gong Is Wronged." We posted these on the telegraph poles in different villages.
The first time I posted the signs, I walked for more than eight hours in my high
heeled shoes and there were big blisters on my toes. I used a needle to open and
drain them. The next morning when I got up, there were no marks on my feet at
all. I felt as light as gossamer and it was wonderful.

In the summer of 2003, I made more than one thousand copies of Dafa truth
materials and distributed several hundred on the first day. The next day I
wanted to distribute the remaining ones. (I used to distribute the materials on
a rotation of five or seven days so that the CCP could not figure out my
distribution schedule.)

Some practitioners heard about my ideas, and they went with me to very far
away villages to distribute the materials. Five of us, all women, took the bus
to a village at 8:00 p.m. The moon was full and bright, lighting up the village.
The farmers there were enjoying the cool night air, and we found a place to send
righteous thoughts to make all of them go back home to sleep. Because there were
so many of us and we might be easily discovered, we divided ourselves into two
groups to distribute the materials. But fellow practitioners were not familiar
with the surroundings and didn't cooperate with each other well. One
practitioner kept worrying that she forgot to bring her house key with her and
she might not be able to get in if she returned late, so she was distracted by
this human attachment. When we got to the second village, the CCP cadres there
found us out. When we were distributing materials at the third village, the
police came by in a police wagon and found us.

As I saw a police wagon driving toward me I thought, "They all know me, but I
need to go to work tomorrow and I can't let them find me." When the other four
practitioners saw the police wagon, they ran toward me. The police didn't see me
and just ran after the other four. The four practitioners ran straight ahead,
far away from me. I could hear the sounds of the the police arresting them. I
felt very pained. I thought, "How can I rescue my fellow practitioners?" But I
drew a blank. A police officer was standing opposite of me, just a meter away,
and he couldn't see me even in such bright moonlight--I knew that Master was
protecting me.

The police tried to force the practitioners to tell them where "the person in
white clothes" was (they were told that one of us dressed in white). My fellow
practitioners knew that I had escaped by the skin of my teeth and were very
happy. I stood there in stillness, sending righteous thoughts the whole time.
Then I suddenly heard somebody say, "It is very dangerous here. Run away fast!"
But I had gone there together with my fellow practitioners, and I thought that
we should go back together. I wanted to ask practitioners at home to send
righteous thoughts to rescue the four practitioners being held by the police. I
entered a restroom and called them on my cell phone, but there was no signal for
my cell phone. I left and connected with my family and other practitioners at
home. I told them, "We had an incident. I escaped but the other four
practitioners need to be rescued."

On my way back, I thought that it was all my fault and that I had made fellow
practitioners suffer. I had taken them out, and so I was responsible, therefore
I must suffer, too. (Actually, if I did suffer for them, wouldn't I be
acknowledging the persecution of the old forces? I was not clear about this
principle of the Fa.) I lost my way as I walked back. I then saw a
one-meter-wide ditch in front of me. I tried to jump over it but fell in.
Usually I could easily jump over such a ditch. There was a little water on top
but full of slime at the bottom. I couldn't stand up. I thought then, "Even if I
drown, I must protect the materials. I still need to save people." Suddenly
there was a kind of power sending me upward. When I got out of the ditch, I
found that the materials were not wet at all. I thought, "Thank you, Master!"
However, with all the mud on my shoes, I was sliding instead of walking. I took
off my shoes and walked along the dirt road in my bare feet. There were some
bricks and glass on the ground. I didn't notice them and stepped on them,
gashing my foot. I didn't pay much attention to it and went on walking toward
home. I walked for more than two hours and came to another village. I
distributed materials until all of them were gone.

On my way back, I saw three more police wagons driving around searching for
me. I arrived home in my bare feet at 2:00 a.m. and found my husband sitting on
the floor sending forth righteous thoughts. I couldn't fall sleep and sent out
righteous thoughts until quarter past seven in the morning. I had just gotten
up, when the young woman practitioner that had been with us the night before
came to my home. She told me what had happened to her. She said that when she
ran into a farmer's vegetable field, the police caught her. At first, they
wanted to put her into the wagon. An old practitioner told her not to move. She
thought herself, "As solid as diamond." Three policemen couldn't lift her and
they called another two policemen to come and help. But they still couldn't
carry her away. At last they had no other choice but to let the young
practitioner go home. They took the three older practitioners to the police
station.

In the morning when I went to work, I kept on sending forth righteous
thoughts. I was focused on the thought that the other practitioners would return
home before noon. At noon, when I got off work and went home, the three
practitioners really had come back. They told me that when they arrived at the
police station, the chief (who strangely became insane the next day) and the
other officers beat them. The practitioners stretched out their arms to show me,
and I saw that their arms were all black and blue. They told me that then they
kept on sending righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth to the police. The
chief saw that nothing was to be gained and released them at 10 the next
morning.

Threatened with Being Sent to a Brainwashing Center Twice

Right after the 2003 New Year, I went to a village secretary's home with two
town cadres to arrange some work. I saw that the deputy head of the village was
painting over phrases such as "Falun Dafa Is Good,"
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Is Good" on a telegraph pole with a bucket
of oil paint. Some practitioner had risked his life to write those messages on
New Year's eve. I said quickly, "Don't paint those over! They are for saving
people! You will receive retribution for doing that."

Then I clarified the truth to all of them and told them the truth about the
staged "Tiananmen Self-immolation incident." However, when I got home, I didn't
send righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil manipulating them. When one of the
cadres I spoke to went home, he met the head of the 610 Office and told him
about my truth clarification that day.

The head of the village's 610 Office told my company leader that I had
clarified the truth in the village and ordered my company head to deal with me
thoroughly. My company head went at once to my husband's company and threatened
to stop his salary. She also told my husband that she would come to our home.

That night my company leader came to my home. She tried to persuade me to
give up my cultivation by using the stick and the carrot method and also asked
me to hand over all my Dafa books and relative materials. She asked me which one
I chose: keeping my job or practicing Falun Gong. I said, "I will not give up my
cultivation and Falun Gong is being persecuted. There are only these few copies
of truth clarification materials. Please take them home to read." Then I handed
her the materials. She stood up and said as she walked out, "You even want to
persuade me! I will give you one week to reconsider. You cannot go to work until
you promise not to practice Falun Gong." I talked with my husband and we sat
down to send forth righteous thoughts to deny all the old forces' persecution.

The next morning I went to work as usual. I went to the leader's office and
said, "I don't need a week to consider. I want to answer you today. The words
'Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance' are in my every cell and it is
impossible for me to give my practice up." She turned quite green and said,
"Let's go to the head of 610 Office and tell him clearly. You will be sent to
brainwashing center." I said, "It is not wrong to be a good person." I thought,
"I am in no fear. I walk on the right path and nobody can harm me as Master will
protect me."

We went to the government office and they were having a meeting. I started to
send righteous thoughts to clear out all the evil factors that persecute Dafa
and Dafa disciples in the government officials and eliminate all of the evil
factors immediately. I said to Master from bottom of my heart, "Master! Your
disciple will only walk the road you arranged. Whether I do well or not on my
path of cultivation, I will walk it to the end." Half an hour later, my company
leader asked me to go to 610 Office with her. As soon as she saw the head of 610
Office, she pointed to me and said, "Send her to brainwashing center to punish
her." I smiled and said, "I have done nothing wrong. Why do you want to
brainwash me?" The head of 610 Office said, "Somebody reported that you told the
truth about Falun Gong to town cadres and they also said that you clarified the
truth at another village in 2002 and broadcast Falun Gong music at a
broadcasting studio. People from several villages heard it. You are a state
cadre and now Falun Gong is forbidden by the government. You should be a little
bit cautious. This time it is OK, but I hope next time I will not hear such
kinds of things about you. Go back to work. I will feel sorry for you if you
lose your job." Thus I returned to my company to continue my truth clarification
efforts under Master's compassionate care and protection.

In October 2003, officials from 610 Office came to our town to find young
practitioners to send them to be brainwashed. They went to a couple's family and
told them to be ready to go to a brainwashing center. They also claimed that I,
too, would be taken there. The couple asked another practitioner to tell me
quickly and said that they would stay away from home to avoid the persecution.
They suggested that I also do this.

When my husband told me about it, he was scared and worried. I was surprised
to hear this, but I quickly calmed down and said, "Don't be afraid. Master said,
'Our Law Wheel protects you if you're a true cultivator. My roots are all deeply
planted in the universe, and if someone could affect you, he could affect me,
and to put it directly, he'd be able to affect the universe.' (Zhuan Falun,
2003 translation version) I refuse to go anywhere. We should send righteous
thoughts tonight and make them fail to have the brainwashing session."

The next morning other practitioner tried to persuade me to stay away from
trouble. I said firmly, "Thanks for your concern. I will not live away from home
and that is not the way I will deal with this. I will face it confidently. I am
not afraid of anything now and I will see who will win. As for the older
practitioners going out of their way to avoid trouble, I think that it is better
not to. There are still two days for them to have the brainwashing session. The
main thing we should do now is to study the Fa and send righteous thoughts
frequently, making them unable to do it."

After the practitioner returned, he shared my thoughts with the older
practitioners and talked to them. The couple decided to live away from home. All
the other practitioners calmed down. In the end, they didn't hold the
brainwashing session after all.

That's it. I went through the tribulation twice about the brainwashing
sessions. It is true, "Cultivation is up to you, gong is up to the master." (Zhuan
Falun) Without Master's compassionate care and protection, we might stumble
at every step! How vast and mighty Master's benevolence is!

People's Hearts Determine Their Futures

Falun Dafa Saved My Grandpa

(Clearwisdom.net) My grandpa, who has had high blood pressure for the
past 50 years, was diagnosed with another major problem - tumors in several
sections of an artery in his abdomen, the biggest being 50mm x 30mm. They are
like time bombs. Hearing this, my 78-year-old grandpa just collapsed mentally.
He did not want to eat or move around - not even to go to the washroom.

To prevent the "bombs" from exploding, he went through surgery. He was given
general anesthesia and when he woke up 12 hours later, he could not think
clearly and half of his body was numb. He had a stroke on the right side of his
brain, for which there were no effective cure. He was in grave danger and could
have died at any time.

My grandma practices Falun Gong. She whispered "Falun Dafa is good" and
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" to him all the time. Two weeks
later, Grandpa was fine and could walk on his own. Everything seemed fine and he
was getting ready to go home for the Lunar New Year.

However, walking down the hospital hallway, he had an excruciating pain in
his right leg. When he got back to his ward, he found his right leg pale and
cold. The doctor found that the artery in his right leg did not work any more.
They would have to amputate his leg. So his family agreed to the operation to
save his leg. On the day before New Year's eve, Grandpa had five hours of
surgery while his family waited outside. On the following day, he had another
stroke in his brain. He was sent to the intensive care on New Year's eve. Family
members took turns sitting on the bench outside his ward and spent an
unforgettable Chinese New Year.

On the seventh day of the New Year, he got better and was moved out of
intensive care. But then he started to pass blood. The doctors used all
medicines available to stop the blood from coming, but it did not help. For the
third time, we received notice from the hospital that Grandpa was dying.

Grandma said to all those attending, "At this point, only Falun Dafa can save
Grandpa's life. Everyone please say silently "Falun Dafa is good.
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." Grandpa followed along. On the
third day, he held my grandma's hand and said, "I saw Teacher. Teacher came to
save me. I have suffered so much and I am safe now because Teacher came to
protect me."He also said to me and my mom, "When I go home, I will burn incense
to worship Buddha. Dafa is magnificent." Many people heard him then. Grandpa got
better day by day ever since.

On the tenth of March, Grandpa came home and is recovering well. He can look
after himself now. Although I have not started practicing Falun Gong, I am
trying to help out any way I can for Falun Dafa.

Several Cases of Karmic Retribution

(Clearwisdom.net)

Editors' note: In both Western and Chinese cultures, the principle of
karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own
actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the
characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The
universe will reward acts that are in harmony with this principle, while doing
things such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic
retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while
evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a
compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing.
While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the
universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions,
and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape
retribution.

Cao Youzhen, a policewoman from Wuhan Police Sub-bureau, died of cancer

Cao Youzhen was a police officer from Yijiadun Police Station, Qiaokou Police
Bureau, Wuhan City. After the Chinese government began to persecute Falun Gong
on July 20, 1999, Cao Youzhen participated in the persecution many times. During
the first half of 2000, she went to Etouwan Brainwashing Center in Qiaokou to
use all her strength to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. In order to earn
more money, anytime someone was needed to cover the night shift in the
brainwashing center, she always volunteered. Later on she was transferred to
Zhipingshe District, Chenjiadun, Qiaokou District. She confiscated
practitioners' books, tapes, and so on, but she never provided a list of
confiscated items or showed a search warrant. Practitioners

clarified the truth to her, but she did not listen. In September 2007,
during the the 17^th CCP Central Committee meeting, Cao Youzhen
illegally searched and tried to take practitioner Xiao Yingxue into custody.
Because the practitioner resisted and the neighbors had righteous thoughts, her
attempt failed.

After that, Cao Youzhen developed cancer. Less than half a year later, she
met died on April 3, 2008. She was just over forty years old.

Villagers hostile toward Dafa from Xincheng, Han Dian Town, Shuangcheng
City, Heilongjiang Province, experience karmic retribution

Qiao Zhiguo, a villager from Xincheng Village, followed Jiang's regime to
persecute Falun Gong ever since July 20, 1999. In order to make more money, he
monitored what practitioners did every day, abused them, took down truth
clarification banners, scratched out truth-clarification messages, and tore up
flyers. He also threw copies of the

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party into a toilet. Dafa
disciples told him the truth many times, but he did not listen to them. In the
spring of 2005, he had cerebral thrombus and was confined to a hospital. He
spent several thousand

yuan but did not recover.

A villager, Sun Chengzhi, always acted as a CCP accomplice, tore up Dafa
flyers, and scolded Dafa disciples on the street many times. In the winter of
2001, he and his sons chased down several practitioners and beat and abused
them. In a short time, one of his two sons was arrested and the other one was
sentenced. They are both still detained. At the beginning of 2008, he saw
several practitioners and said to them, "In 2008 during the Olympic Games, the
CCP will persecute you to death." Only a few days later, he died suddenly.

Brothers Wang Yongguo and Wang Yongbang suffered much persecution during
the Great Cultivation Revolution because their family were landlords. They
unfortunately forgot the pain of their own experience. When the CCP began its
persecution of Falun Gong, both of them followed along. Wang Yongbang took
down banners, tore up flyers, and abused Dafa disciples. Later on, he had a
serious disease, which cost him almost 10,000 "yuan". Wang Yongguo did not
listen when practitioners went to his home to clarify the truth to him many
times. Each time, he threw them out and heaped abuse on them. Not long after,
Wang Yongguo drove a horse-drawn vehicle to handle matters in town. The
vehicle turned over in a ditch and he broke his leg. After this, he had a
quarrel with another person who stabbed him with a knife. On April 27, 2008,
the brothers Wang Yongguo and Wang Yongbang had a dispute over money. Wang
Yongguo's nephew hit him in the head with an iron tool. He is still confined
to a hospital. Wang Yongbang was detained.

Yu Guanghong, a policeman from Changchun Road Police Station, Chuanying
District, Jilin City, accidentally shot himself and died

Yu Guanghong is 54 years old. Since July 20, 1999, he followed Jiang Zemin to
act as a vanguard to persecute Dafa disciples. Up until last year, over 20 Dafa
disciples had been

illegally arrested, persecuted, sent to forced labor camps, imprisoned, and
sent to brainwashing centers due to his actions.(He was on the list of evil
people in 2005.) On the evening of April 24, 2008, when Yu Guanghong was on-duty
and trying to stop a fight, he fired a shot in the air. In the confusion, he
fired a bullet through his own neck and died instantly. We hope more police
officers become clearheaded, cease doing evil, and quit the CCP and its
associated organizations as soon as possible to be saved.

Zhang Yumei from Duolun County, Inner Mongolia, persecuted Dafa and
practitioners and met with retribution for her evildoing

Zhang Yumei was from Duolun County, Inner Mongolia, was already retired. She
once worked at the town resident committee of Duolun County. Since Jiang's evil
regime began to persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, she closely cooperated
with the local
610
Office and police station to illegally monitor practitioners and participate
in the brainwashing sessions. In order to gain fame and self-interest, she did
not listen to good advice and acted willfully to persecute practitioners. In
July 2007, she was diagnosesd with leukemia. On January 24, 2008, she died at 49
years old. Before her death, she said she was guilty and that she should not
have participated in persecuting Dafa and practitioners.

69 People Declare that their Words
and Deeds Under Forced Brainwashing are Null and Void

A Total of 391741 Declarations Have Been Published To Date

(Clearwisdom.net) A "solemn declaration" is a person's public
statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under
duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these
statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to
express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had
signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practice again. Also,
as more and more people in China learn the truth about how they have been
deceived and lied to by the Jiang regime, many non-practitioners are also
submitting "solemn declarations."

Here are some examples of the Solemn Declarations:
