[Guangzhou] "Heavenly Girls Scattering Flowers" to Pedestrians and
Professors
"Heavenly Girls Scattering Flowers": Thousands of Dafa leaflets
drifted down from the top floor of the most prominent building in Guangzhou,
Wangfujing Plaza on October 29. Tourists and pedestrians in the area were eager
to catch hold of the leaflets and many held on to them after they finished
reading and put them into their handbags.
Mailing to Campuses: Professors on university campuses in Guangzhou have
recently started receiving mail containing Dafa materials. The contents include
articles like "The Historical Responsibility that Jiang Zemin Cannot Shrug
Off" and other leaflets that clarify the truth of Dafa and expose those who
are responsible for the vicious persecution. A famous professor who teaches
Ph.D. candidates said after reading the materials: "Although I don't know
much about the theory of Falun Gong, but I think people should be allowed to
have their beliefs. Just like Buddhism and Christianity, people's freedom of
belief should be permitted. Issues of faith cannot be resolved by
suppression." Many of the professors who received the letters seem to share
the same view.
[Yantai, Shandong Province] Security Guard Pours Boiling Water On
Practitioner
Xu Chengben was a practitioner of Yantai Fishing Company. He went to Beijing
to appeal and was arrested by local police. After he was released, the security
department of his work unit took him back to the work unit. The security
director asked: "Who is Li Hongzhi?" Xu answered: "He is my
teacher." This question and answer was repeated three times. Then, the
security director took a pot of scalding hot water and poured it on Xu's head.
He asked the question again and Xu gave the same answer. So he poured another
pot of hot water on Xu's head. Then a third time he asked the question and Xu
answered, he poured a third pot of hot water. Xu's head and face were burned and
the scars still remain. After this, he used handcuffs to lock Xu to the iron
front gate of the work unit to show this punishment to the people passing by.
Brutality and mercilessness are at the extreme.
[Niutang, Jiangsu Province] Policeman Dies Shortly After Brutally Beating
Practitioners
Some practitioners from Niutang, Jiangsu Province stepped forward to validate
Falun Dafa and were arrested by policemen from Niutang. One of the policemen
maliciously beat one of the practitioners and the practitioner bore the torture
silently without any hatred toward the policeman. Later on, the practitioner
asked the policeman kind-heartedly what he would do if the process of Dafa
rectification were successfully concluded. The policeman said without even
thinking: "Let me die." A few days after the conversation, the
policeman suddenly died.
That policeman was tall, strong and healthy. His death stunned the other
policemen and since then, the policemen have not dared to brutally beat Dafa
practitioners.
[Jiamusi, Heilongjia Province] Special Agents Defraud Family Members Of
Detained Practitioners
In Jiamusi city, there are two people surnamed Zhang and Cao who are
pretending to be Dafa practitioners who contact family members of detained
practitioners. They claim that they can help bail out detained practitioners
and, in this way, they've defrauded tens of thousands of RMB yuan (Chinese
dollars). They also pretend to distribute Falun Gong materials so as to gain the
trust of genuine practitioners. That way they can find out the source of the
materials and who is going to Beijing. Then they inform the police of where to
go to search the homes of practitioners. Several practitioners have had their
houses searched to date.
[Shandong Province] Recent Events in Shandong
- During the National Day holidays, banners were seen on Weilai Freeway and
the Laixi section of Yanqing First Grade Highway in Shangdong with the words
"Falun Dafa is the Righteous Fa (law)", "Falun Dafa is
good", etc. This magnificent move of practitioners forcefully validated
the mighty power of Dafa and will help to suppress the evil forces.
- Around October 20, huge banners were hung up along major streets in Laixi
City with the words "Falun Dafa" and "Zhen-Shan-Ren
(Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance)." This surprised the people of
the town, encouraged practitioners, and tremendously frightened those
enforcing the persecution.
- Recently, the [Chinese Communist] Party Committee of Laixi City called for
a meeting of directors in charge of each working unit based on orders from
the Party Committee of Qingdao City. Tasks were handed down to all those in
attendance to inform on those practitioners who distribute materials to
reveal the truth about Dafa. It demanded that all cadres and workers not
pass along or read any Falun Gong materials. If received, these materials
must be destroyed immediately. At the same time, a telephone number to
receive informants' calls was given to the public. The reward is set at 300
RMB Yuan (about US$38, or half a month's salary of an average worker). This
is to encourage people to betray each other and sell out innocent people. We
shall denounce this de-moralizing policy. To date, the following
practitioners have been sentenced to labor re-education from Laixi City: Gao
Yang (male), Li Guoxiu (male), Wu Guoqing (female), Zhao Hongyong (male), Ju
Ruihong (female), and Zhan Shuxin (male).
- The Party Committee of Qingtao City in Shangdong Province has announced
the malicious "Severely Cracking Down" policy. It took October 1
as a dividing date line. For all practitioners who went to Beijing to
appeal, to practice, or to unfurl banners after this date, "Triple
Expulsion" will be applied: Party members will be expelled from the
Party; Students will be expelled from school; and Government office clerks
will be expelled from public duty. Practitioners who have been to Beijing or
distributed Dafa materials on several occasions will be categorized as key
members and organizers of Falun Gong and will all be sentenced to three
years of labor reeducation.
- In late October, the public security departments of Laiyang City in
Shandong province arrested many practitioners who had printed Dafa materials
and others who were involved in administration. The details of their
experiences are not known. The former head of the Laiyang Dafa assistance
center, Song Suguang was arrested. Also arrested at the same time were Song
Jilong, Liu Aili and others.
- Because the number of Dafa practitioners from Jiaozhou City ranked number
one in Qingdao City among those who went to Beijing and unfurled banners or
practiced in Tiananmen Square during the time around October 1, the Party
Committee of Jiaozhou City was severely criticized by the Party Committee of
Qingdao City. The vicious forces in Jiaozhou City have subsequently
escalated their persecution against Dafa and Dafa practitioners. Over twenty
practitioners have been sent to the remote northwest region of China for
labor reeducation and over seventy people have been detained. As reported
previously on Minghui Net, the Jiaozhou Politics and Law Commission is still
carrying out the evil act of using mental hospitals to persecute
practitioners. The former head of the Jiaozhou Dafa assistance center Zhou
Caixia and other two practitioners have successfully escaped from the mental
hospital and are now homeless.
[Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province] Recent Events in Shijiazhuang City
- One Dafa practitioner was captured by a hoodlum while distributing
materials. Sources say that the Public Security Department of Shijiazhuang had
hired many hooligans and offered them a reward of RMB5000 (US$602) for
arresting a Dafa practitioner. Their aim was to stop practitioners from
revealing the facts about how Jiang Zemin and his followers are oppressing the
people who practice Falun Gong. We hope practitioners will use their wisdom to
break this vicious scheme.
- Because more than 50 practitioners from Xinji Shijiazhuang city went to
Beijing to appeal during the national day holidays, many city government
officials were dismissed from their positions. Two of them were the General
Secretary of the Communist Party of Xinji city and the Mayor. They complained
that they had followed all orders from the 610 offices during the national day
holidays and that they had used both the administrative and Public Security
channels to monitor Falun Gong practitioners. The monitoring and controlling
tasks were subcontracted down to every layer of those two channels to stop any
practitioners from going to Beijing. They also said that the government should
lead and control the people who practice Falun Gong so as to guide the force
to contribute to economic development. The present merciless brutal
suppression cannot be accepted by the people and has caused anti-government
sentiments among the people. People were no longer even allowed to appeal
through legal channels, and more and more practitioners were driven to go to
Beijing to appeal. Without solving the basic problem of what causes people to
go to Beijing but instead, using various ways to shut people's mouths and put
them into custody, it is obvious that the policy is wrong. They added that
because of Jiang Zemin's wrong decision to deprive people of their freedom and
to kill the innocent, the higher officials put the responsibility on us to
enforce the wrong policy. We believe that there will be more and more
officials dismissed because they were unable to carry out these incorrect
orders.
