[Heilongjiang Province] Tahe County Dafa Practitioner Walks out of the Monster's Den with Righteous Thoughts

At 11pm on August 7, 2001, about ten policemen from the Xinlin Police Office and Tahe County Police Office illegally ransacked Dafa practitioner Sha Zhaojin's home in Tahe County, Heilongjiang Province. Sha Zhaojin was illegally detained. The police acted like bandits, taking away a personal computer, about 60 CDs, 40 floppy discs, 1,500 Yuan cash (about $188, $60 is average monthly income in China) and even the stapler from his home. A hand made banner that read, "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance," and some Dafa books were also confiscated. They couldn't take the bike away because the police vehicle was already full.

The police took Sha Zhaojin to the Taergen Police Office and interrogated him, "Do you know why we arrested you?" Sha Zhaojin answered, "No, I don't." Then the police twisted his hands behind his back and handcuffed him. They tied the handcuff to a high place with a rope, causing Sha Zhaojin to bend down from his waist at a 90 degree-angle and with his toes barely touching the ground. They told him, "You will be hanged like this unless you figure out why we detain you." After some time, they covered his head with a plastic bag. Later, they found that he was sweating so they poured cold water on his head. It was already midnight, and they left 2 policemen to watch Sha Zhaojin while the others went to sleep. Sha Zhaojin sent forth righteous thoughts to let the 2 policemen fall asleep (He had been sending forth righteous thoughts since he was detained.). After a while, the 2 policemen fell asleep on a bed. Sha Zhaojin untied the rope and walked out of the evil den. When the vicious police found that he was gone, they became very scared. In Tahe County, every police office allocated 4 policemen to try to catch him in the streets and railway stations. Sha Zhaojin left Tahe County on the second day and melted into the mighty current of Fa-rectification.

[Sichuan Province] Many Dafa Truth-Clarifying Banners Appear at the Entrances of a Local Government Building and Police Office

During last month, a lot of Dafa truth-clarifying banners appeared at the entrances of the local government building and police office in an area of Sichuan Province. This effectively frightened the vicious forces and encouraged Dafa practitioners. The county committee director called the director of the police office in and angrily yelled at him. It was said that one practitioner was illegally detained afterwards. The detailed information needs further investigation.

[Xiangcheng County, Henan Province] In Xiangcheng County, a Twelve Year old Dafa Practitioner is Detained; a Hail Storm in June Serves a Warning to the Vicious People

Twelve year old Xiangcheng County Dafa practitioner Wang Hui went to Beijing to validate Dafa with her mother Sun Shimei. On June 1, 2001, she was escorted back and has been detained until now. June 1^st is the International Children's Day, a holiday for children around the world to celebrate. However, in the place where the vicious people commit crimes at will, a 12-year-old child has been put into jail until now simply because she clarified the truth to the public and spoke out "Falun Dafa is good." This was not the only case where Dafa practitioners were persecuted. We heard that the Xiangcheng County police arrested more than ten practitioners in the last couple of weeks. Some practitioners were taken away when they were taking a bath at home, and they were not even allowed to put on their clothes. After practitioners were detained in jail, the police handcuffed their hands behind their backs. They made the practitioners suffer more by dragging the handcuffs back and forth. The police also did not give practitioners any food or water for 3 days. Those practitioners who had not been arrested had to leave their homes and live in exile.

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is met with evil. On June 20, a hailstorm swept through Xiangcheng County in the hot summer. Afterwards it rained heavily. The water on the street was about two feet high. People, who are being deceived by the lies, please wake up!

[China] "Master Definitely will Bring a Wonderful Future to You"

Practitioner Ms. Li often spread Dafa and clarified the truth to her colleagues. They all enjoyed listening. One of her colleagues felt very sympathetic toward Dafa. When Ms. Li did not bring the truth-clarifying literature to her, she would ask her, "Why don't you bring us some information?" Every time when she received the flyers, she not only cherished them, but also put them into a bicycle basket to let more people share the truth of Falun Gong.

Once, this colleague of Ms. Li heard someone repeating the lies spread by government propaganda. She seriously told them, "What do you know? My colleague Ms.Li practices Falun Gong. She is over 50 years old. She is very healthy and kind-hearted. Those things broadcast on TV are all lies. Every Falun Gong practitioner is a good person." Upon hearing what she said, those people couldn't say a thing.

Ms. Li told her after she heard what had happened, "Well done. To safeguard Dafa is to protect your own life. My Teacher will definitely bring you a wonderful future." Now this colleague of Ms. Li has begun to read Dafa literature.

[Hefei City, Anhui Province] Determined Dafa Practitioner Ji Guangkui is Illegally Sentenced

In March 2001, the vicious police tried to arrest Dafa practitioner Ji Guangkui when they found him distributing Dafa truth-clarifying materials to the public. Ji Guangkui tactically escaped and lived in exile. In June, police arrested him in Yunnan Province. As he did not cooperate with the vicious forces, he was beaten black and blue. But he still did not give in. The police tortured him more severely. They gave electric shocks to his tongue and forced yellow beans into his anus. They attempted to shake Dafa practitioner's righteous thoughts with all indecent means possible. However, the vicious people will never know that Dafa practitioners' belief is indestructible.

Now the vicious police has transferred Ji Guangkui from Yunnan Province to Hefei City and sentenced him to 2 years in jail.

[Hefei City, Anhui Province] The Immoral Doctor Zhang Duanping in Hefei City Mental Hospital Inhumanely Persecutes Dafa Practitioners

When Dafa practitioners were forcibly sent to the mental hospital, Zhang Duanping personally gave overdose injections to them. Ten days later, a practitioner was tortured to the degree that his mind was out of control. He was extremely weak and could not even walk. At the time, Zhang Duanping came to talk with the practitioner. She stabbed at his head with a club shaped key while verbally abusing Dafa. She forced the practitioner to curse Dafa with her. If the practitioner refused her, she would poke the key deep into the practitioner's skin. She was very cruel.

[Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province] University Students of Good Conduct and Learning Suffer from Persecution Due to Their Firm Belief in Falun Dafa

At the beginning of 2001 when the term began, North-West Industrial University called for collective signatures from all staff and students to slander Falun Dafa. No student was spared in this activity. The university paid special attention to those who were not willing to sign or had reservations regardless if the student practiced Falun Gong. The leaders ordered them to take a firm stand and called their parents to put pressure on them. The first association that specifically deals with Falun Dafa has been established on campus and a website that slanders Dafa has also been set up on the main page. Practitioners on campus have either been arrested or expelled. Many practitioners distributed Dafa literature or mailed letters on campus, but some ordinary people submitted the materials or letters to the university authorities under high pressure. As a result, no voice of Falun Gong practitioners could be heard on campus. The former and new secretary of the Party committee Li Baoyi and Yang Shukang, respectively, as well as the department that administers students' affairs have played a despicable role in the process.

Among all the colleges and universities in Xi'an, Xi'an Traffic University has been at the forefront in persecuting and slandering Falun Gong. Li Yonghong, Liu Haichao, Cang Jing and many other graduate students of good conduct and learning who got Masters or PhD degrees have gotten in touch with their work units. However, the university leaders called the employer and said, "This student practices Falun Gong, why do you hire such a student?" Under such pressure from the university, the employer had to cancel the contract with the student. Then the Xi'an Police would meddle directly to take the students away, and then investigate or forcibly brainwash them. Other colleges and universities, consequently, followed the example of Xi'an Traffic University. Cheng Ran, a graduate student of the class of 98 with a Masters degree from Xi'an University of Architecture Science and Technology, has never returned to the Company (he just signed the contract with them) after he went to the university to complete the procedure for leaving school. Now he has lost his personal freedom.

We strongly appeal all the kind-hearted people around the world to pay attention to the unjust persecution against the Falun Gong practitioners in colleges and universities by the lawless people in Xi'an--the ancient capital of China. These practitioners are at their full potential and promise, and they are at the age that is well prepared to contribute to the country and its people. They should have an admirable and wonderful future but it has been ruined by Jiang Zemin's criminal regime.

[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Lawless Officials Holding Painting Exhibition Slandering Falun Dafa Reveal Their Guilty Conscience

Recently, Chengdu TV (Channel 15) reported that lawless officials held a painting exhibition slandering Falun Dafa, but they did not dare to disclose the place and time of the exhibition.

[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Lawless Officials in Shuangqiaozi District Put Pressure on Dafa Practitioners Through Pension and Unemployment Insurance

Recently, the officials in Shuangqiao District, Chengdu City, escalated the persecution of Dafa practitioners. They stipulated that all retired and unemployed practitioners are not allowed to take the pension and unemployment insurance from banks or related offices. Instead, they are asked to go to a newly founded police station--Xihua Police Station to take the money. It is really a strange tale! They also stipulated that these practitioners must clarify their positions (not to practice Falun Dafa) before getting the money. The vicious people try to change practitioner's firm belief in Dafa by breaking their economic resources. But the vast number of Dafa practitioners still persist in their cultivation practice and their hearts are not affected.

[Changchun City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioner Liu Yaqian is Illegally Arrested

Clearwisdom.net published the news on June 28, 2001: All blocks in Changchun City today held a meeting and passed a secret order that offers a 50,000 Yuan reward for illegally catching Dafa practitioner Liu Yaqian. An insider disclosed that Liu Yaqian has been secretly arrested but no details are known. Please pay attention to this case and send righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil and help free this practitioner from the danger as soon as possible!

[Beijing] Several Xinhua Bookstores in Beijing are Selling Books Defaming Dafa

Recently, many Xinhua Bookstores set up a new category titled Disclosure and Criticize and openly display books that defame Dafa. Dafa disciples in the Beijing Area, please use all means to effectively eliminate the evil. Don't give them any chance to commit crimes and poison sentient beings.

[Sichuan Province] Neighbors Tearfully Ask Why Such a Nice Child is Sent to Labor Camp

Mei Lunxian is a Dafa practitioner from Sichuan Province. When he was young, he was a very nice and kindhearted child. He was always ready to help people and gained a very good reputation in his village. While studying at a university, his neighbors collected money for his education because his family was poor. Since July 1999, when Jiang's scoundrel group shamelessly defamed Dafa and our Master, he went to appeal in Beijing four times. Finally, he was sent back and detained in a local detention center. In the detention center, police tortured him in order to subdue him and instigated criminals to beat him. Once, he was seriously beaten up and could not even move for days. However, his righteous thoughts had made him brave. The police thus illegally punished him with 3 years of forced labor. After hearing this news, his neighbors all went to see him. They said in tears that how such a nice child could be sent to serve in labor camp.

[China] The Virtuous Courage Of Dafa Practitioners' Families and Colleagues

In one county, officers of the National Security and Public Security Department intruded into a Dafa practitioner's house and wanted to take her away from her family. Her family angrily said, "You had already forced her to stay away from home. What is wrong that she just wants to do the exercises?" The officers of the Public Security Department tried to scare them by saying that they would get a permit so they could seize their house. However, her family was not afraid and said, "If you seize my house today, you won't get out from this door." Their quarrel drew the attention of her colleagues. Many of them also said that she was not so healthy before but she gained a health body after doing the exercises, and what's wrong with doing the exercises? In the face of the condemnation, these officers thus left.

[Hebei Province] Man in His 80's Reads Zhuan Falun and His Serious Illness Gets Cured Without Medication

In Xinji County of Hebei Province, there was an old man in his 80's. Last year, he did not feel well and went for an examination and found a black spot on his liver. The doctor told him that it was a tumor but he didn't know if it was benign or malignant. The doctor thought that the man was too old and he didn't know if the treatment would work, so he gave the old man some medicine and let him go home. For 9 months, the old man could only eat cornmeal and drink milk. His daughter gave him Zhuan Falun during that time. The old man read it and said that it was a book to treasure. His daughter asked him why. He said that his eyes didn't get tired while reading this book and the words would get bigger while he was reading. The old man treasured this book very much. He used a plastic bag to protect it. He was afraid that little kids might spoil the book, so he returned it after reading through the book a couple of times. Without thinking about it, his illness disappeared. Gradually, he could get off from bed, eat noodles, and go out for walks. His family saw it and was very happy. They then often tell people how miraculous Falun Dafa is.

[Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Liang Jigui from Shuangqiaozi Street Administrative Office Embezzles Dafa Practitioners' Properties

Liang Jigui, the vice director of Shuangqiaozi Street Administrative Office in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, has been rampantly persecuting Dafa practitioners and made use of every opportunity to embezzle their properties. This year, after the brainwashing class failed, he blackmailed a practitioner by the last name of Yu by lying, "All the other practitioners have handed in 500 Yuan, shouldn't you hand in 500 Yuan as well?" He attempted to blackmail money and put it into his own pocket. He even illegally held many practitioners' identifications and private seals in order to prevent them from collecting their unemployment subsidy, with the intention of collecting the money himself and spending it as he pleased.

[Sanhe City, Hebei Province] The Criminal Records of Zhang Baofu, the Director of Sanhe City Education Bureau

Zhang Baofu, the director of the Sanhe City Education Bureau, forced teachers and students to sign and declare their stance on the so-called "one million signature drive." [Note: Jiang Zemin's order to forcibly collect 1 million signatures against Falun Dafa] He also published a book to slander Dafa at his relative's printing factory and used his position to force students to buy the book so as to take credit and make huge profits out of it. He also instigated his followers to suspend the salaries of practitioners Wang Zhanqing, Shang Chao and Liu Fengling, who are determined in cultivating Falun Dafa. During the period of two national conferences in 2000, teacher Zhou Chunxiang went to appeal in Beijing. As a result, she was then forcibly brainwashed, illegally held and sent to Shunyi County Mental Hospital for over 2 months by Zhang.

[Chongqing City, Sichuan Province] Wicked Policemen from Mawang Village, Dadukou District of Chongqing City Beat up Dafa Practitioners

During the first half of 2001, a practitioner from outside came to Chongqing to distribute Dafa truth-clarifying materials. He (or she -- gender undetermined by name) was caught by several wicked policemen from Mawang Village and was beaten almost to death on the spot. After being held illegally for over 2 months in the Mawang Village Police Station, his family members came to claim him. The police station promised to release him after they received about 5,000 Yuan. But after his family members handed in the money, the authorities refused to release him and replied that they wouldn't release him until he wrote the so-called "guarantee statement ." (to give up practicing Falun Gong) When this practitioner's mother saw him, she could hardly recognize her son (or daughter). She tried to call his name beforehand so she could make sure that it was her son. This practitioner was beaten so severely by the policemen that his face was totally deformed, and he was bruised all over his body.

[Sichuan Province] "Having Heard the Dao in the Morning, One Can Die in the Evening" -- a Story from a Detention Center

Some Dafa practitioners from a county in Sichuan Province were illegally detained for validating Dafa. In the detention center, with their great benevolence they continued to convert those prisoners and guards. Among them was a female prisoner. She had always been crying about being treated unjustly and killed a person by mistake. After practitioners spread the Fa to her with great compassion, she started to cultivate Falun Dafa as well. She said she would not have made such a big mistake if she had known about Falun Dafa previously. After she attained the Fa, she often spread the Fa to the guards and director and strictly abided by xinxing (mind and heart nature) standards. Her changes attracted the director's attention. He exclaimed, "It would be easy for us to manage if all prisoners could study Falun Dafa. But we have no alternatives; Jiang Zemin wants to arrest you Falun Gong practitioners. If it is anyone's fault it is his fault."

This female prisoner who attained the Fa not long ago suddenly remembered Teacher's words -- "Having heard the Tao in the morning, one can die in the evening." When the judge sentenced her to the death penalty, she was reciting Teacher's articles. Everyday she asked the director to release her from the execution bed and let her practice Falun Gong exercises for two hours. On the day she was executed, she walked out in radiant health and she didn't forget to spread the Fa to the policewoman. She said, "I've attained Dafa, I will die with nothing to regret."
