  • The Persecution I Suffered in a Chinese Prison

    My name is He Lizhi. After suffering prison life for three and a half years in China, thanks to the help of the international community, I came to Canada this May. Practitioners and the Canadian Government made arduous efforts to rescue us. After my release, I was granted priority by the Canadian Immigration Ministry. Now I have reunited with my wife after three years and ten months separation. I was greatly moved by these kind people's actions for justice, and hereby cordially express my gratitude.

    Dear Mum and Dad: How are you? I have not been able to see you for several years. I miss you very much in my heart.

Since you were cheated and deceived by lies, and because you have fostered the old concept of "people do not fight with their governors" deep in your minds all these years, you could not understand what I do.

Thus, many Dafa practitioners didn't cooperate in fabricating the stories.
