On April 28 and 29, Falun Dafa practitioners in Ba De City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan held a Taiwanese dialect Fa study and experience sharing meeting in order to create a better group study and sharing environment for those elderly practitioners who do not speak Mandarin [Taiwanese is the native language in Taiwan while Mandarin was imported after 1950] or cannot read.

On the subject of immediate retribution, someone said, "Why are ordinary folks receiving retribution? Why isn't Jiang Zemin the only one to receive retribution?" Let us use the situation of war as an example to explain. Those soldiers who charge in the front lines are the first to die while the commanders are protected in the back. Only when the shielding layers are cleared away can the main target be reached. The time when Jiang and Luo receive their retribution will be the time when the entire process will be finished and many bad people will be eliminated. If everything ends now, there will be too many people who got eliminated who unknowingly committed atrocities against Falun Dafa due to the false propaganda and state-terrorism policy of Jiang's regime.

Today, 84 people made solemn declarations that what they said and did during the vicious brainwashing and cruel pressure of the persecution, that is not consistent with Dafa's standards, is null and void. From now on they will make up for the losses they caused by redoubling their efforts in clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to people and following Teacher in the Fa-Rectification process.

Talking about "cultivators." From the past to the present, people around the world very much respect true cultivators. The main reasons are: 1. True cultivators are disciples of true, great-enlightened beings (Buddhas, Taoists, Gods). People respect and give to the Gods, so of course they will respect and provide for cultivators; 2. Although true cultivators live a poor life right now, they will have an incomparably bright future. By treating cultivators with kindness, people are also creating a bright future for themselves; 3. Although everyone has Buddha nature, cultivation is nevertheless very difficult. People respect and admire cultivators from the bottom of their heart.

Examples of my truth-clarifying experiences during phone calls to China: Through many phone conversations I have found that most people who work for the government, such as in TV stations, broadcast stations, police departments, government agencies, newspaper agencies and others like to listen to the truth. However, when I call the places directly responsible for the persecution such as the "610 Offices," forced labor camps, prisons and brainwashing centers, most people will hang up after hearing only one or two sentences. As for those who are especially evil, I tell them examples of immediate retribution. Even if they only hear one sentence, they will be shocked, and it will work to suffocate the evil.

I'm now doing research at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom as a post-doctoral fellow. My Chinese passport expired on April 10, of this year. Staff from the Chinese Consulate told me that it was only possible for me to get my passport renewed if I claimed that I was not a "chief member" of Falun Gong. They refused to show any written document about this policy. I hereby protest the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners overseas invoked by the Chinese Consulate using its authority and I also object to its cowardliness in not daring to admit what it is doing.

The happiest thing in my life: I'm now 65 years old. I live in Keelung, Taiwan. When I was young, I took a job doing heavy labor to make a living. By the time my children had grown up and I had bought a house, my health . I had a sore waist and an aching back. I was not even able to do housework. I had been bed-ridden for about 3 to 4 years. After practicing Falun Gong for only one month, my back recovered. Now when I get up every morning, I practice Falun Gong. It has become the happiest thing in my life.
