(Editor's note: Hu Qiao is Mr. Hu Qingyun's son. Mr. Hu's article (a letter to the leaders of the government) clarifying the truth of his experiences was published on Chinese Minghui on March 28, 2000. Mr. Hu was arrested on April 21, 2000 and his situation remains unknown.)
I'm Qiao Hu, twelve years old, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Nanchang city, Jiangxi province. My dad used to suffer from leukemia, and it was Falun Dafa that saved him, prolonged his life. Now, I am a student at No. 14 Middle School. When I was in primary school, my grade was nearly zero in some subjects. Even worse off, my conduct was very poor, so bad that I had once set fire to someone else's door. Now, I am in middle school. After I practice Falun Dafa, my English ranks second, Chinese is above average, and even Mathematics, which was zero before, has been boosted up to 70 out of 100. Isn't this a great progress?
On July 21, 1999, the Public Security Bureau charged my dad with racketeering for Falun Gong books. Actually he did not do anything wrong besides lending money to others. Yet, the police detained him and later, he was released. It happened again on April 21, 2000. My dad was taken away by the Public Security for the second time. This time, the reason was that an article titled "The Truth" written by my dad was posted on the Internet. (The excerpt of this letter is posted on English Minghui today - by editor)
My mom and I went to Beijing on April 28 to appeal. Since then, I have given up many attachments: school, grandma, and frolicking. I did not know what to say when I first got to Beijing, even though I was clear with my intention. Somehow I was hinted to say, "What you are doing to Falun Gong is all wrong; Falun Gong is a virtuous teaching; you can not slander our Teacher; you will regret for what you have done now in the future."
In the article "Distinction" of the book "Hong Yin" (a collection of poems written by Mr. Li Hongzhi - by editor), Teacher said, "Buddha came to the human world, but the ordinary people have not gotten enlightened to that and are still lost in the maze. The wicked have even borne malice to Buddha, which has set a distinction between who is evil and who is compassionate." Isn't this what is going on in Mainland China? As Falun Dafa practitioners, let us strive harder in our cultivation and return to our heavenly world as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Qiao Hu, a young Falun Dafa practitioner
