(Clearwisdom.net) I was shocked at learning the news that Charles Li, an American citizen, was arrested as soon as he got off the plane in China. The reason was merely that he is a Falun Gong practitioner. I would like to share some of my thoughts here.

From Germany to Iceland, from Hong Kong to America, and from the East to the West, we have seen the talons of the dictator reaching out to every corner of the world. However, when people gradually see through the ferocious and evil nature of the dictator, and when they are touched by the compassion of Falun Gong practitioners, they stand up to call upon China to stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. During the process, Falun Gong has become well known in the world, gaining more and more support from various organizations, governments, and kindhearted people.

Seen from the big picture of the persecution of Falun Gong, the arrest of Charles Li is not an isolated event. This incident once again proved that the persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's regime has extended to other countries and is not hesitant at all in arresting foreign citizens brazenly.

The earth is a big family. Every being who lives on this earth, including animals and plants, all have countless ties with one another. The prosperity of one group affects the entire human race, so does the persecution of one group. The stability of the world is closely bound up with everyone's fate. Any evil element existing in one region or country will spread to other regions or countries. Today this group is the victim; tomorrow you may be the next victim. Today this region is suffering; tomorrow another region may be suffering. The nature of the evil is just evil. It will poison people regardless of who they are.

Safeguarding the justice and peace of humanity is the responsibility and obligation of each and every one of us, regardless of our race and nationality. In order to build a wonderful future for everybody, we need to work together to eradicate the evil and uphold justice. Helping innocent people is helping ourselves and establishing a beautiful future for ourselves.

Do not overlook the strength of each individual. As long as we are helping others from the bottom of our heart, things will change for sure. Countless facts have proven that collective efforts have huge strength.

It is a heavenly principle that good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
