People's Hearts Determine Their Future

There is a forty-five-year-old woman in Huolinguole City, Inner Mongolia, who frequently had stomachaches and her gallbladder and her bile duct developed stones. Taking medicine was ineffective. Moreover, the more medicine she took, the more her appetite declined. When this woman was preparing to go for surgery, a Dafa practitioner taught her to say aloud "Falun Dafa is good." Every day, besides saying aloud "Falun Dafa is good," she just read Zhuan Falun (1) with a peaceful mind. Her stomach began to hurt less, and she could eat more food. When this woman went to the hospital for a check-up, all the gallstones had vanished!

Facts of the Persecution

Ms. Ma Yongan from Xiantao City, Hubei Province suffered from relentless persecution. Ms Ma is 56 years old now. Just because she practiced Falun Gong, she was imprisoned seven times and was tortured to extreme distress. On October 3, 2001, the head of the "610 Office" in Xiantao City, He Guohua, dragged Ms. Ma downstairs to do military training. Because her body was so weak that she could not run, they forced her to walk along the drill ground. The vicious guard, Hong Gang, wearing a pair of leather shoes, kicked her in the right side of her ribs. Ms. Ma's whole body was kicked in the air and flung to the ground. They still hauled Ms. Ma halfway around a basketball court. Finally, she was dragged to a room where she was soaked with water.

The facts of the persecution that Mr. Shao Changpu from Fuyu County, Jilin Province, suffered: On May 4, 2004, police officers Guo Yiping, Li Mingzhou and Zhang Mingcai forced criminals to commit perjury to bring a false charge against Mr. Shao. Claiming articles written by Teacher were found under his bed, they kicked and beat Mr. Shao until his entire face was misshapen. Then Mr. Shao was locked up in a small cell for nine days. Mr. Shao wrote five letters to report to the authorities in detail, accusing these three wicked police officers of intimidating the criminals to commit perjury, using violence, extortion of confession by torture, illegal imprisonment and other illegal acts. On May 30, 2004, Mr. Shao was sent to the "strict management" production brigade that was specially set up to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Every day, Mr. Shao suffered from some form of corporal punishment.

The persecution experience of Dafa practitioner Zhang Shuwei from Jincheng Town, Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province: On December 30, 2000, I exercised my legal right to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Along the road, I was abducted twice by the police and beaten, but I still made it to Beijing. At Tiananmen Square, I unfolded a Dafa banner, then was arrested. When the Shuangcheng police tried to extort 1,200 yuan (2) from my family members, they did not succeed. They sent me to the Shuangcheng Municipal Second Lockup. Several days later, I was sentenced to forced labor for one year and sent to the Wanjia Labor Camp. Chief Lin asked the collaborators (former practitioners who have turned against Dafa under brainwashing and torture) to be personal "instructors" (meaning to bombard me with their deviated reasoning) and personal "helpers" to me. I was deceived by their hypocritical, deceitful tricks. I now solemnly declare that everything I did at the labor camp that does not conform to Dafa is invalid.

The persecution experience of Dafa practitioner Ms Zhang Xiucun from Langfang, Hebei Province: At the end of October 2002, Ms Zhang found a purse on the road, but she did not pocket the money she picked up. However, when she turned in the purse to the police, she became subjected to persecution. She was sent to the "610 Office" brainwashing class in Anci District and was tortured for seventeen days. Her husband was also illegally detained in the local police station. Under the authorities' relentless intimidation, he became mentally disoriented. On May 26, 2004, Ms. Zhang was again arrested. She was persecuted to the point of being extremely weak. The persecutors feared to take the responsibility in the event that she would die, so they sent her back home. On July 23, Yang Baoyin brought people to abduct Ms. Zhang from her mother's home and sent her to Tangshan Forced Labor Camp for one year.

The secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee in Huanren County, Benxi City, Liaoning Province, Sheng Xueying, closely followed Jiang's regime to persecute Dafa practitioners in Huanren County. He was in charge of arresting Dafa practitioners, confiscating their property, sending them to the detention center and brainwashing classes, and sentencing them to forced labor or prison terms. The vice-secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee, Wang Xuancai was the assistant to Sheng Xueying and a key figure in the persecution of Dafa practitioners. Xu Yanbo, Vice-secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee, was also active in persecuting Dafa practitioners. Since the first brainwashing class until now, he has mainly been in charge of all brainwashing classes. Wang Lixian, the County Public Security Bureau chief and Sheng Xueying are the prime culprits in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Hua from Xijiao Town, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province suffered from many diseases and was confined to bed for a long time before she began practicing Falun Dafa. After she started to cultivate and practice Dafa, she was free from sickness and pain. She truly felt from her innermost being that Falun Dafa and Teacher had given her a new life. After the persecution began, on December 29, 2000, Ms. Liu went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. Later on, Tang Youzhi, chief of the local Xijiao Police Station, beat her savagely. As a result, her whole body was black and blue. From January 4, 2002 to March, the authorities tried to abduct Ms. Liu twice, but they failed, so instead they took her husband Mr. Zhang Xingfa to the township government office to be persecuted. They beat and kicked him and hit his ears and head. On the evening of May 21, 2004, Wang Liwei, Zhang Hongjian and others came to Ms. Liu's home and attempted to abduct her. Ms. Liu fled, all the while sending righteous thoughts. Her husband, Mr. Zhang, was illegally detained for fifteen days and finally released.
