Conference
1. [Changji, Xinjiang Province] Practitioner Geng Zhenjie Tied Up in a Soaking-wet Bed for Two Months
Geng Zhenjie was an assistant director at the Changji practice center. Because he kept doing Falun Gong exercises and clarifying the truth to people even while under detention, Geng was placed on a completely soaked quilt and tied up in bed, and he was kept in this position for two months. When they finally untied him, his back was festering and ridden with maggots. After his release, Geng quickly joined in the Fa-rectification, and his back is now completely healed. Geng was arrested again while posting Falun Gong literature and remains in detention.
2. [Sichuan Province] Large Amounts of Falun Dafa Literature Appear in a Sichuan City
Encouraged by the Teacher's new articles, especially the lecture in Washington, DC, practitioners in a city in Sichuan Province hit a new peak of exposing the evil and clarifying the truth. Recently, countless Dafa flyers, banners, and posters appeared in the downtown area of the city, dumbfounding the police and evoking the benevolent nature of the local people. Practitioners are offering people salvation under the guidance of the Teacher with the great benevolence of Dafa disciples. They are quickly maturing in their cultivation, validating Dafa, and establishing their own mighty virtue.
3. [Northeast China] Practitioners Successfully Hold an Experience-sharing Conference
A successful experience-sharing conference took place recently in northeast China. It was not on a large scale, but just as solemn and sacred as bigger conferences. Practitioners from different areas exchanged experiences and lessons learned in their cultivation practice and in clarifying the truth. They were greatly encouraged by earth-shaking stories of other practitioners who have let go of the attachment of life and death. Many saw the difference between themselves and those practitioners, and they felt themselves rising to a new level. At the same time, they realized the importance of sharing experiences and reading articles from Clearwisdom. The conference also provided an opportunity for people to learn about many unique ways of clarifying the truth. Afterwards, the practitioners understood that in this period before daybreak, we must catch up with the process of Fa-rectification and emit the brilliance of a Falun Dafa disciple.
4. [Qi County, Henan Province] An Example of Retribution
Li Xiucheng, 31, chief of the Politics and Security Section in the Qi County Police Department, has gone out of his way to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. It was through him that all the arrested practitioners in Qi County were illegally sent to jail or brainwashing class. When a practitioner recently exposed the evil conduct in Qi County, Li Xiucheng was suspended from work and put under investigation. It is said that the police in Qi County are sending people everywhere to find the practitioner who exposed them.
We solemnly warn the officials who persecute Falun Gong: even if you do not believe in retribution or heavenly justice, you should know that politics in China are always changing. Once the policies change, what will happen to you? How can you be sure that the present state of Li Xiucheng won't be your fate in the near future?
5. [Beijing] Thunder and Lightning Strike Beijing
At 11:00 p.m. on August 15, 2001, there was continuous thunder and lightning in the sky over Beijing but not much rain. The thunder claps sounded loud and crisp, sweeping over the sky from south to north, one after another. Having grown up in Beijing, we have never seen such weather. Perhaps it was cleaning up the evil beings in other dimensions in Beijing.
6. [China] When Those in Power Are Degenerate, Good People Are Wronged
There is a thug in my neighborhood who was unemployed and often disturbed people living in the area. Yesterday, I was surprised to see him riding a new bicycle and wondered who dared to hire such a person. An old man in my neighborhood said that he was enlisted in a joint-defense squad with a monthly salary of 800 Yuan (translator's note: Yuan is Chinese currency. The average monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan.) His lunch and supper are paid for, and they gave him a new bicycle. His job is to arrest Falun Gong practitioners, and his bonus is based on the number of practitioners he arrests. While those in power are degenerate, the good people will be wronged. "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" are being slandered, while "Falsehood, Evil, and Violence" run rampant.
We solemnly warn these hoodlums: stop persecuting Falun Dafa immediately. Otherwise you will meet retribution in the near future.
7. [Haikou City, Hainan Province] Local Officials Hold an Exhibition Slandering Dafa
The officials in Haikou City are holding an exhibition slandering Falun Dafa from August 16, 2001 to August 25, 2001. Please send out righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil.
8. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Employees Working for Over 30 Years in the Harbin Bus Company Are Sent to the Wanjia Labor Camp
Gao Weidong and Sun Xiurong were employees of the Harbin Bus Company. One day, the police came to their workplace and took them to the Security Department of the company. They were then sent to the Wanjia Labor Camp, and the "crime" according to their arrest warrant was "disturbing social order." It was because they had been to the home of a practitioner, and her husband called "110" (the police emergency number). How can visiting someone disturb the social order? Can the police arrest people simply because of a phone call? How can the bus company let the police take their employees away like that?
9. [Fuyang City, Anhui Province] A Practitioner and His Family
In mid-February, a practitioner was arrested and detained. As a result, six of his relatives' homes were ransacked. His two sons and a son-in-law were detained, and all of them were tortured. The police found the Teacher's articles in his daughter's purse and took away the purse and the cash in it.
10. [Wei County, Hebei Province] Police Ignore Law, Send Practitioner to Labor Camp
On August 7, 2001, Qi Ai, a volunteer assistant of the Wei County (Hebei Province) Falun Dafa Assistance Center, was deceived by police with the excuse of "chatting with supervisors" and taken from his home. The police sentenced Qi Ai to three years in labor camp at the notorious Kaiping Labor Camp in Tangshan City without notifying relatives or following any due process of law.
Since exposing the inhumane actions of the authorities responsible for the crackdown on Falun Dafa on Minghui Net on numerous occasions, practitioners in Wei County have been improving rapidly as a group. They are stepping forward, validating Dafa, actively revealing the evil, thoroughly clarifying the truth and offering salvation to those deceived by the state-controlled media propaganda. Recently, authorities have stepped up the persecution, arresting practitioners and illegally searching their homes, forcing some into a life of homelessness to avoid an otherwise almost certain arrest.
11. [Heilongjiang Province] Crimes Committed by Changlinzi Labor Camp Chief Shi Changjing and His Associates
Changlinzi Labor Camp Chief Shi Changjing and his associates are using every possible way to persecute practitioners. One month before and after the "key dates" (such as Teacher's birthday and July 20), they did not even allow non-practitioners to receive any visitors.
Rules were also made for visitors of practitioners. Practitioners who were resolute in their practice of Falun Dafa and who most strongly resisted attempts to be "reformed" were not allowed to have any visitors at all. All visitors (friends, relatives, children) were forced to write statements in the registration book slandering Falun Dafa and Teacher Li. Only those who wrote the slanderous statements were allowed in by Shi Changjing. In this way, many innocent people were intimidated into defaming Falun Dafa.
12. [Yantai City, Shandong Province] Criminal Record of the Zhifu District Education Committee of Yantai City
In April 2000, lawless officials of the Zhifu District Education Committee forced nine Falun Dafa practitioners who were attending schools affiliated with the Committee to undergo brainwashing. These practitioners had either gone to appeal in Beijing or participated in group practice. They extorted 200 Yuan [Approximately half a month's wage for an average urban worker in China] per day from each practitioner as "living expenses." During the first 13 days, practitioners were given only a piece of bread and a tiny portion of pickled vegetables per meal. The brainwashing class lasted for a month. The practitioners detained were: Sun Shuxiang, Qiu Shaojie, Li Shuhua, Mou Aiming, Jiang Yuhua, Jiang Cuiying, Sun Benjuan and two other practitioners whose names are unknown.
In March 2001, the Zhifu District Education Committee held its second unlawful brainwashing class. Practitioners Qiu Shaojie and Li Shuhua escaped. Sun Shuxiang protested the brainwashing by going on a hunger strike and was then illegally sentenced to three years in labor camp. Practitioner Chu Xingong from Yantai City No. 4 Career College escaped from the brainwashing class but was later arrested again. Currently, his/her whereabouts are not known. 2,000 Yuan were extorted from each of Mou Aiming, Jiang Yuhua and Wei Xingang, all from Yantai City No. 4 High School, as "living expenses."
Practitioner Sun Benjuan from Yantai City No. 4 High School was illegally arrested from her home for the second time by her work unit in April 2001. She was put into a brainwashing class in Zhifu District.
Practitioner Wang Zhongli from Yantai City No. 4 High School retired from the school in October 1999. After retirement, Wang went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa and participated in Fa rectification several times. Since that time, Wang has been detained for a total of two and a half months. At the beginning of 2001, Wang was forced to leave home and was fined about 20,000 Yuan by the Education Committee and No. 4 High School, which also cut his/her retirement pension.
"Good is rewarded with good, and evil meets evil" is a heavenly principle. If the Zhifu District Education Committee continues to help Jiang Zemin and his associates in the persecution of Dafa practitioners, then they will most surely meet retribution.
Zhifu District Education Committee:
Director Geng Jianwei
Former Political Secretary Zhang Gaoqiang
Current Political Secretary Jiang Daikun
Yantai City No. 4 High School:
Principal Yu Yuejun
Political Secretary Hao Peixin
13. [Yantai City, Shandong Province] Suggestion for Yantai Practitioners
We were told that the authorities persecuting Falun Dafa in Yantai City are planning to hold another brainwashing class. We hope that our fellow practitioners can maintain righteous thoughts at all times and break the arrangements of the evil forces.
14. [Beijing] A Young Teacher Arrested During Class
Sun Chunhua, a 29-year-old practitioner in Beijing, formerly worked for Northern Transportation University. For her persistence in cultivating Falun Dafa, she was fired by her school, after which she had little choice but to work as a relief teacher outside the school to earn a living. After a class, she passed out a flyer revealing the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution to every student in her class. On May 25, she was arrested by police during class and detained at Paoju Detention Center. Sun has been illegally sentenced to a term in labor camp. Sun's husband Duan Yi (26 years old) was also fired by the university in 2000. Duan went to Tiananmen to appeal for Falun Dafa on July 21, 2001. Right now, he is also under illegal detention.
Just for speaking the truth, people are being sentenced to prison terms. Where are our laws and human rights?
15. [Haizhu Town, Guangzhou City] Practitioners Illegally Sentenced to Prison Terms
Practitioner Chen Lixia from Haizhu District, Guangzhou City was forcefully arrested by police just 10 minutes after arriving at a fellow practitioner's home for a visit this May. The perpetrators put Chen Lixia into a brainwashing class in Haizhu District. Recently, Chen was illegally sentenced to a two year labor camp term at Chatou Labor Camp.
