The mother of Lan Hongyu, a Falun Dafa practitioner who was tortured to death, appealed for her wronged son. She revealed that unjust policemen from the Zunhua City Detention Center, Hebei Province tortured her son to death. They cuffed his arms and legs and stretched his body in four directions while he was on an iron bed (a form of torture known as the Dead Person's Bed). Zunhua City Detention Center (Tel): 86-3156613234. Shimen Town Police Station (Tel): 86-3156099110.

111 people declared solemnly that all they said and did under the severe persecution and their mentality of fear are null and void. They refuse to accept the arrangements by the old forces. They will redouble their efforts and amend the damage they brought to Dafa during their validation of Dafa from now on, so that they are worthy of Master's benevolent salvation.

My "very common" story during the persecution: My home was searched, I was harassed, fined, sent to a brainwashing class, etc. These incidents were occurring incessantly. My over 80-year-old parents are all practicing Falun Gong, because of their health conditions. But the evil forces would not leave them in peace. Our story during the persecution is too common. Over the past two plus years, almost every Dafa practitioner has not been able to avoid this treatment.

A high school student was forced to become homeless and move from place to place. He was abducted from the College Entrance Examination by police and neighborhood administrators. They sent him to get brainwashed. After college started, the administrator in the college tried to scare him. In order to resist the evil persecution, he had to give up his studies. He was not very diligent with practicing before, but now he has started cultivating Falun Dafa whole-heartedly.

From the practitioners in China to the 36 fellow Western practitioners who came to Tiananmen Square to Rectify the Fa: Your heroic feat inspired us! Dafa practitioners are one body. Let's work harder in clarifying the truth and welcome the wonderful moment of Fa- rectification of the human world together.

Returning to the righteous Fa: On December 31 of last year, I was arrested in Tiananmen Square and was forcefully brainwashed in Chatou's Forced Labor Camp in Guangzhou City. Under that pressure I wrote "The Three Statements" [that claim I would give up Dafa practice] against my true will. Now I solemnly announce that all I wrote and said during that period is completely void. I will double my effort to make up for the loss I caused to Dafa, clarify the truth and become a qualified Dafa practitioner.

On November 27, I went to Tiananmen Square to unfurl a banner and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" I was shoved inside a police van and sent to Yanqing County in Beijing. Later that night I was detained and while there, I was brutally beaten numerous times. An old man with the last name of Tang from the Appeals Office of Yanqing County Police Department grabbed my neck and beat me with a thick iron "screw stick" until I passed out. The hospital refused to receive me and I was eventually released.

Falun Dafa has changed me from a vulgar person to a virtuous and elegant person through continuous improvement of my inner character and mind. The Jiang Zemin regime illegally fired me because of my determined belief in "Truth, Benevolence and Forbearance." However, my mind is guilt free, since I am becoming a truly enlightened being in Dafa.

The Chinese state-run media has fabricated a story to slander Falun Dafa in which a 19-year old attempted self-immolation in his dream. Eastern Family Newspaper in Zhengzhou City, Henan province, and other newspapers carried the story. It is really absurd that the Jiang Zemin regime could use a person's dream to frame Falun Gong.

To people who are kind and still have conscience we ask: never let the false TV reports blind your eyes. Please treasure the materials that Dafa practitioners have risked their lives to give to you. Their only motivations are so that people can have some positive understandings of Falun Gong, be aware of the real story about Falun Gong, and make a judgment with rationality.
