Upon hearing such a ridiculous lie, many residents in the apartment building began to reproach Mr. Lin out loud, "Trust an idiot to run the State Security Bureau! It's nobody's business whether we need to repair our roof!"

There are no Falun Gong practitioners in the company. However, even this law abiding company was not able to escape from this type of harassment.

The authorities never give the reason for these extortions or issue any receipts. Many Falun Dafa practitioners' families have had to suffer a great deal in order to scrape together or borrow the money, and they have travelled very long distances to pay the extortion fees to release their family members.

I said to the principal: "I am a working teacher and the classroom is my work place. I did not do anything wrong by practicing truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. Why won't you let me come back to work?" The principal got very mad at me, "Even now you still think this way, how can you come back to work?!"...I found the secretary and asked him for my job back. The secretary told me the school does need a teacher like me, but I would have to write a guarantee letter saying that I will never practise Falun Gong again. I refused immediately
