Commentary: The scoundrels in these and other areas in China willingly dedicated themselves to being Jiang Zemin's accomplices. They completely lost their conscience, persecuting Dafa and committing all kinds of crimes, incurring the fury of both human beings and gods! As the depraved person in power brings inconceivable tribulations upon the innocent and compassionate Falun Gong practitioners, he also brings endless calamities upon the everyday people. For people living in the everyday world who are witnessing this evil persecution aimed at Dafa, playing politics and looking out for one's personal self interest is actually pandering to the evil in a disguised form! The only way to get far away from the calamities is to recognize good and evil, distinguish right from wrong, conform to the law of the universe, and thus assure a bright future for yourself and your family.
