The Changes in Dr. Teng Chunyan Reveal the Viciousness of Jiang's Political Gang By Tang Wende
(Clearwisdom.net) For the first time since she was illegally arrested in May 2000, a western
reporter conducted a police-supervised prison interview of Dr. Teng Chunyan.
After I read the Associated Press report, a story came to mind that I heard when
I was a child. The story took place in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 -- 476
B.C.) of Chinese history. A citizen of Qi State was arrested in Chu State,
accused of being a thief. The King of Chu State triumphantly said to an envoy
from Qi State, "So your Qi people just behave like this!" The envoy
from Qi answered, "Just look at that citrus tree. A citrus tree would grow
very well in Qi. However, once moved to Chu, it would wither and die. Why is
that? It is because the water and soil of Qi is so rich that the citrus tree can
grow healthily. The water and soil in Chu, however, is poor, so even the
strongest citrus tree couldn't survive here. The same holds for the people. That
person was a very good citizen in Qi, however under the tyranny of Chu, he has
no way to make a living except stealing from others." The King of Chu State
was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word. Teng Chunyan gave up her peaceful, liberal, and comfortable life in the
United States and went back to China to publicly reveal the truth of Jiang's
evil regime and it's persecution of Falun Gong. In the current society where
ordinary people pursue every little bit of physical interest with a selfish
heart, what kind of people let go of their own lives to hold to the truth they
believe in? What motivations could lead a "modern" person do such
noble and selfless deeds? What kind of strength could give such a lady the
courage to challenge the most shameless and malicious government authority in
the world? It is the strength of "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance." Only a
Falun Dafa practitioner who cultivates "Truth, Compassion and
Tolerance" can act in such a pure, selfless, compassionate and greatly
forbearing way. She used to be so outstanding, elegant, full of compassion and energy. Now
she is detained in a prison with high walls topped by barbed wire. The New York
chic that made her stand out in Beijing was gone. She lost her graceful
appearance also. Her once pretty face became even a little swollen. According to insiders, "She was interrogated for hours on end on more
than fifty occasions. She was forced to stand and squat in excruciating postures
for days and nights at a time. And she was even fined thirty thousand Yuan (The
average monthly salary of a typical urban assembly worker is four hundred Yuan)
as a 'service charge' for her own captivity." She was treated so cruelly
that death could be a relief for her. A friend of hers in New York said, "I
don't understand how a person could change so totally. I think she must be
brainwashed." She has changed so much. Teng Chunyan, what have they done to
you? Kindhearted people: we hope you can see from Teng's tragedy the evil nature
of Jiang's regime and the ugly truth of its cruel persecution of Falun Gong. Posting date: 1/17/2002 |
