Facts of the Persecution
1) In the Longshan Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, steadfastly cultivating Falun Dafa practitioners had their terms unlawfully extended. They were forced to do heavy labor for more than 14 to 15 hours a day. Sometimes when they could not finish their assigned productivity goals, they were deprived of a night's rest and still had to go to the next morning's labor shift. This was only the physical torture. They also had to endure unprecedented mental torture, such as daily brainwashing.
2) The inside secrets of a brainwashing class held by the "610 Office" of Xi'an City Party Committee have been revealed. The brainwashing is divided into three sessions. The first session is total isolation for about a month. This means Falun Dafa practitioners are locked individually in a small room, and closely monitored by brainwashing assistants 24 hours a day. Also, they are forced to view brainwashing materials and to write reports. The second session is partial isolation, and is also about one month. This means Falun Dafa practitioners are forced to watch videos that slander Falun Dafa in a group, and are forced to write reports. The third session is a "reinforcing" period. This one is about two to four weeks long, during which practitioners who have already given in are forced to write the "Four Statements."*
3) The following are some cases of persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners that took place in the Fangcheng County "610 Office" in Nanyang Prefecture, Henan Province. (1) Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Chenglin, female, age 68, was unlawfully detained after going to Beijing to validate the Fa in April 2000, and was released after she went on hunger strike to protest. In December 2001, she was again detained for more than one year. (2) Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Yuzhen, female, age 54, was sent to the Shibalihe Labor Camp in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province for 18 months in April 2000 because she went to Beijing to validate the Fa. She was arrested and sent to the same labor camp again on March 25, 2002, where she now remains. This was all because she wrote a letter to appeal after the first time she was released. (3) Falun Dafa practitioner Yu Hao validated the Fa in April 2001. She was then detained by the Fangcheng City police, and sentenced to labor camp in Xuchang City.
4) Falun Dafa practitioner Xu Bingwen from Qingdao City, Shandong Province was unlawfully abducted and brought to the Qingdao Labor Camp in August 2003. He has been on hunger strike for more than two months. During this period of time, he was locked in isolation, and punished with the "sitting board" torture for about one month. Currently he is kept in isolation in the No.3 Team, with two people watching him, and he is being force-fed every day. Other detained Falun Dafa practitioners are Liu Xitong, Shao Chenglo, and Wang Kangning.
The Truth and People's Hearts
My mother was sick with a brain disease for several years, and she lost the ability to talk for many years. Her condition was getting worse this year, and she was living on intravenous injections for more than three months. She was unable to defecate or urinate, and was only skin and bones. We, her children, all knew Mom didn't have much time left. I went home to visit her recently. Seeing my mother's suffering, I thought it would be a blessing if she could learn Dafa, whether it be in this life or the next. Thus, each day I read her one lecture from Zhuan Falun while sitting beside her. By the fourth day, she could walk several steps without others' holding her arms. By the seventh day, she could walk from the sofa in the living room to her bed all by herself, which stunned our live-in attendant. After finishing the 9-lectures in 9 days, my mother looked like a completely different person.
Practitioners Exchange Insights
My classmates from 30 years ago were waiting for Dafa! We had a class reunion on October 18, in Penghu, Taiwan. Students who had graduated thirty years ago all came back. We were happy to see one another, and I introduced Falun Dafa to them during our dinner party, and passed out all the newspapers I brought. Later on that night, at our elementary school class reunion, my classmates said I had not changed one bit, except for becoming more energetic. I thanked Master for allowing more predestined people to obtain the Fa. I taught them the first, second, and third exercises. All of them had very good inborn quality. They followed my movements and did very well. They all felt very warm, and could feel the energy. Some had their headaches cured. One person immediately felt the rotating energy, thus, he thought Falun Gong was incredible! They had to leave the next day. I prepared exercise instruction DVDs and other materials for everyone who was there the night before. Those who did not join us the night before also asked for some materials.
