(Clearwisdom.net) We are a group of middle-school students in China. We have seen many news stories and heard much "information" about Falun Gong on television, in the newspaper and from some of our teachers. We were afraid, terrified and filled with hatred, not even daring to come into contact with Falun Gong practitioners as a result of what we had been told. We thought we were really smart, and felt sorrow for Falun Gong practitioners' misfortune, but angry with them for not giving up their belief. We have lived in hatred for four years. The seeds of hatred took root in our hearts and germinated.
One day this year, we met a Falun Gong practitioner on a vehicle. She told us how innocent Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted and many touching stories of their practice of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." She also gave us a truth-clarification VCD. Only then did we come to understand the real story.
We felt that we had been cheated and deceived by the propaganda. It is hard to describe it. We had treated honest and kind Falun Gong people as our enemies, even treated them with hostility, all in our ignorance. What makes us most indignant is that while Jiang Zemin uses many virulent methods to suppress Falun Gong, he actually uses deceit and lies to instigate hatred in the hearts of over one billion citizens. He would have billions follow him and spread the lies. He would have children expel their elderly mothers who practice Falun Gong from their homes.
What crime is there in people practicing exercises and becoming better people? We hope to bring Jiang Zemin to the justice at the earliest, and end this disaster soon.
Release the Falun Gong practitioners from the jails. Let them practice and live freely. Let people have peace and good health.
