Two Practitioners, from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Hebei Province, Died As a Result of Persecution
2009-03-18Ms. Xie Cha followed the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in all aspects of her daily life. She was considerate of others in all respects. Since the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, Ms. Xie has been persistent in her belief. Therefore, she was treated as a key persecution target by the CCP. She was harassed, threatened, monitored and detained by Party agents. Before the Olympic Games, the town government dispatched its staff members to harass Xie Cha repeatedly, and tried to force her to write an statement to give up Falun Gong. Under huge pressure, she was utterly exhausted both physically and mentally. Her health worsened rapidly. Ms. Xie passed away on January 24th, 2009, only in her forties. -

How My Happy Childhood Turned Miserable
2009-03-15I am a young Falun Gong practitioner from Qiqihar. In 1999, the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong. I was 9 at that time. I was afraid. Later my dad was sentenced to forced labour and imprisoned at the Fuyu Forced Labour Camp. He was put through brainwashing sessions and suffered brutal torture. I felt very lonely and miserable. I asked myself again and again why such a good practice was slandered. In 2002 my dad was imprisoned again and I was left alone and had no one to depend on. At school, the director treated me very rudely. He pushed my chest and yelled at me. Other students frequently insulted me and scratched my face shouting at me, "He practises Falun Gong."
