Comments from a Non-Practitioner on the Lawsuit Against Jiang Zemin and the Founding of the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners
By Jinze
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, there have been many news items on the Internet concerning Falun Gong. First, Falun
Gong filed a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin in a United States federal court for crimes of genocide in
his persecution of Falun Gong. Soon after that, the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners was formally established in the United States. One day
later, the first list of litigants and parties involved in the "Tiananmen Square
Self-Immolation" was released to the public to obtain evidence. I don't how others feel, but personally, as a Chinese, I could not turn a deaf ear to Falun Gong
during these past three years. I have watched them walking resolutely on the difficult path of
peaceful resistance in the face of the brutal suppression against them. I deeply admire the power
that they demonstrate. Reflecting on the past three and a half years, it is as if I have been watching a frenzy of
violence in a boxing ring, which is so out of control that it is completely against the game rules.
The stronger party went crazy -- determined to deprive the other party of dignity, or else kill
him. Brutal and heavy fists fell in a torrent on the weak. The latter in turn looked completely
helpless, but still managed to keep telling the people in the stands, "Look, what a ridiculous
thing it is. He is killing me. You should uphold justice. Help me to stop this brutal murdering,
please!" However, the murderer was too powerful and too horrible. Except for a few onlookers in the stands
with social backgrounds and status who dared to speak out in fairness for the weak, the rest chose
to keep silent. And I was one of the latter, except that I had sympathy in my heart and concern in
my eyes. Some cold-blooded scoundrels in human clothing were even cheering from the excitement
brought about by the bloody violence. Thus, the performance lasted for three and half years. However, the attacker is gradually
becoming less powerful due to the exhaustion of its energy. And those who used to cheer for the
violence are losing interest. Some of them left, tired of too much violence. And more people are
beginning to shout, "Stop!" At this point, the stronger party is only passively shaking
its violent fist in order not to lose face and power. But to our surprise, the weak party, with its
endless endurance and persistence, has not only survived the past three and a half years, but has
become more and more flexible and vigorous. Even more dramatically, it is firmly putting forward the
suggestion that the evildoers should be punished through legal procedures for the crimes it has
committed in the past three years. My life experience had led me to believe that this was a tragedy in the human world that could
not be changed. I believed that we had to wait until our offspring, when they compiled history, to
finally castigate the bloody dictator and cherish the memory of those who suffered while bravely
fighting for the sake of truth. However, Falun Gong practitioners have changed history, and have
greatly brightened my view of life. I cannot help but wonder what strength has made them become more
and more mature, rational, strong-willed, powerful and full of wisdom instead of being destroyed
during the inhumane persecution of the past three and a half years. They don't have power, wealth or other aid, and they stubbornly insist on the principle of not
fighting back when beaten or sworn at. Conversely, Jiang has all the power that nobody on earth is
able to compete with. Yet I, as a viewer in the stands, cannot help but experience an invisible
strength in Falun Gong. I feel that it is righteousness, invisible but irresistible. It brings hope
to all people of goodwill and justice. It helps strengthen their belief in being good people. The
helpless thought that kind people are always taken advantage of has been changed in this battle
between the good and the evil. I feel so proud that such a significant historic feat has manifested
itself in the Divine Land of China. I am also anticipating the day for this righteousness to fully
penetrate through the cosmos and come to the Divine Land as soon as possible. |
