Survey Conducted by a Dafa Practitioner in a Detention Center


(Clearwisdom.net) During my year-long illegal detention, I conducted a special survey of the detainees in which I asked them to write down answers to my questions.

Backgrounds of the people surveyed:

  1. Those surveyed include young criminals, drug addicts, and white-collar criminals of different ages with a variety of knowledge and from all different walks of life.
  2. When the Chinese media was slandering Falun Gong for its so-called "attack on the Sino-satellite," I conducted a special opinion exchange and survey that struck a chord in the hearts of the people involved. The survey consisted of three questions concerning Falun Gong.

Now I am making public three of the answers to the questions on the survey in their entirety.

Case 1: Female; education: middle school.

(1) Question: What is your opinion of Falun Gong practitioners?

Answer: Regarding Falun Gong practitioners, I have the following points of view. (a) As I understand, they touched people's hearts with their own hearts, and they won their popularity by following their virtue. (b) They are happy to help people. To them, no matter how big a mistake they make, if they recognize it and want to rectify it, then they are good. As far as this is concerned, common people cannot do that.

(2) Question: What is your opinion of the Chinese media's reports on Falun Gong?

Answer: Once, it was reported on TV that a Falun Gong practitioner had killed someone. However, what you hear may be false, but what you see [in person] is the truth. I have seen Falun Gong practitioners and they don't look like the people depicted on that TV show.

(3) Overall, what is your general view of Falun Gong practitioners?

Answer: Generally speaking, all the Falun Gong practitioners I have met are very nice people. They are kindhearted and willing to help people. They are not the type of cruel and malicious people mentioned on TV. I love Falun Gong practitioners and treat them as uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers. These are my comments regarding the practitioners of Falun Gong.

Case 2: Female, 35-years old. Education: elementary school.

(1) After becoming familiar with Falun Gong practitioners, what is your opinion of them?

Answer: Falun Gong is cultivation of the spirit, and it is good for any person. Falun Gong asks people to be nice to others and not to do bad things.

(2) Question: What is your opinion of the Chinese media's reports on Falun Gong?

Answer: Those reports from the media are all lies and are all incorrect.

(3) Overall, what is your general opinion of Falun Gong practitioners?

Answer: Falun Gong practitioners helped me and made me clear-minded. They often did kind deeds for me. We should learn from them. Many thanks to the Falun Gong practitioners who taught me.

Case 3: Female; 30-years old; bank clerk.

(1) Question: What is your opinion of Falun Gong practitioners?

Answer: They are persistent. In any situation, they prefer to believe their Teacher and persist in their practice. They adhere to their principles. Whenever one has difficulty or gets into trouble, they will try their best to help them and make them see the point.

(2) Question: What is your opinion of the Chinese media's reports on Falun Gong?

Answer: The "practitioners" portrayed by the media don't look like the ten practitioners I met here. The practitioners are not, in any sense, the kind of cruel people who have no compassion towards their relatives.

(3) Overall, what is your general view of Falun Gong practitioners?

Answer: I have met several practitioners. They are all easy-going, willing to help people, free from worldly strife, and they have no complaints about their own situation. Furthermore, they are relatively healthier than common people. They are all happy people with the aspiration for self-improvement.

-------------------------------------

Although these were just several thin sheets of paper with less than perfect handwriting, I have cherished this, as it is proof of people's understanding of and support for Dafa. The truth cannot be covered up. The lies will not last long. Among all the things one can possess, justice and conscience are the most valuable things in the world. I hope that more Chinese people will awaken to justice and the truth.
