[A reprint from The Overseas Chinese Time 1/21/2001]

The news of Professor Zhang Kunlun's return to Canada has spread quickly. The people who were deeply concerned about his situation now smile again and they all wish him a happy reunion with his two lovely daughters. From now on, Prof. Zhang can practice Falun Gong with his fellow practitioners in this free and democratic Canada. Falun Gong has made both his body and mind healthy.

Before Prof. Zhang's release, some people doubted whether the rescue effort from the Canadian government and its people could really accomplish anything. Now the release of Prof. Zhang has given us more confidence. Everything in this world develops according to the law of history. The power of justice and peace will defeat evil and bring victory in the end.

Some leaders from the Chinese government have gone astray and have used extremely ruthless violence to suppress Falun Gong, a cultivation practice which follows the highest principles: Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. It has been more than 18 months now since they attempted to force millions of practitioners to change their belief. This kind of evil behavior is utterly unconscionable and is detested by more and more kind-hearted people. Leaders of various levels from the central government to local governments and many policemen have become more aware of the terrible consequences of this reckless crackdown against its honest and kindhearted citizens and the shame and suffering it has brought to the government and millions of its people.

In the past 18 months, the Canadian government and its people have further learnt about Falun Gong practitioners and the high price they have paid for their right of freedom of belief ?more than 120 practitioners have been tortured to death while in police custody, millions of practitioners are still being detained and have lost their jobs and freedom. For example, the husband of Canadian Chinese and Montreal resident Li Jingyu has been detained in a labor camp by the Chinese government for more than a year now and his whereabouts still remains unknown.
