My solemn declaration was once written by my younger sister on my behalf and published on Minghui Net in 2001. However, now I feel the need to write down the solemn declaration myself.
My name is Chen Zhumei and I started to practice Falun Dafa in July 1999 in France. On the 18th of July, 2000, I went to Beijing to validate the Fa and was arrested and detained for a month after being beaten cruelly by police. As I did not study the Fa [Falun Dafa principles] sufficiently, lacked deeper understanding of Dafa principles, and failed to let go of my basic attachments, I did not use my righteous thoughts in the face of hardship. Being unable to endure the hardship and afraid of the threat of death, I did what a Dafa disciple should never do even though I knew it was not from my true heart and I compromised with the evil. Now I would like to declare solemnly again: I do not acknowledge what I wrote in prison. I will firmly do the three things our Master requires us to do: study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the facts, in order to become a real Dafa disciple in the Fa rectification period and to help Master's journey in the human domain.

Solemn declaration
In July last year, my younger sister Chen Zhuli from the USA and I from France made an appointment to peacefully appeal in Beijing. On July 18th, after it was discovered that we were practicing the exercises in the hotel in the morning, we were kidnapped in the afternoon when walking to the front door and detained in a detainment house of Beijing Security Bureau. Although we did not write anything that damaged Dafa, a penitential letter was written and stated, 'I did not violate the country law and will not do anything against the country in the future'. We thought that there was nothing wrong to write that down but acknowledged the fellow practitioners from Beijing who came to collect us, we also did not ask for our Dafa book back on our return .
Now we realise that what we did was to comply with the evil. We declare solemnly today: what we wrote and signed is all null and void. In the future we will not cooperate with the evil anywhere, anytime. We will cultivate ourselves to the end and never change. Here we want to warn the evil to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners immediately.
