A Journalist and a Manager's Just Words About Falun Gong

1. "What you told me is only one-tenth of the level of the persecution against Falun Gong"

I am a Falun Gong practitioner from Hebei Province. On a sweltering day in August 2002, when I was posting truth-clarification materials, someone saw and followed me in silence. I walked for quite a while before realising someone was following me. He stopped me and said, "The plainclothes police have been assigned to each street with patrols twenty four hours a day. Aren't you scared?" He showed me his press ID, "I work for a newspaper. The authorities have planted agents using journalist ID's all over the country." I talked with him about the true situation of Falun Gong for almost an hour. "What you told me is only one-tenth of the level of the persecution against Falun Gong," he urged me, "You must be cautious from now on, please don't forget this! You are a good person!" Gazing at his receding figure, I wished him good luck in my heart

2. "After thousands years of advocating the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, why is it banned now?"

When a development manager from a company went to dinner with some people, he suddenly thought about something, "I've no idea who pushed those materials through my door yesterday. It says that the propaganda slandering Falun Gong on TV is all lies."

The others nodded their heads, "Yes, without a doubt."

The manager added, "Falun Gong must be amazing, otherwise why is Jiang trying like crazy to beat it? They are just practising exercises. Just let them go all out to do the exercises, what would be wrong with that? After thousands years of advocating the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, why is it banned now? I really can't understand it!"
