(Clearwisdom.net) [This article is published for our readers' reference, and may not represent the understandings of Falun Gong practitioners.]

Falun Gong practitioner Wei Xingyan is a young lady and a graduate student at the Department of High Voltage Electricity Transportation at Chongqing University. She was kidnapped, detained and raped by policemen because she upheld truth and freedom of belief.

When this violent incident was reported overseas, no media in China, from the local to the central government reported the truth of the incident or condemned the authorities' actions. No administration at any level punished the criminals. Instead, the Party, administration, police, procurator, news media and educational venues were all mobilized to cooperate with the "610 Office" to conceal the news. The policemen who committed the crime were relocated to other places. The victim, people who knew the facts of the situation and the students living at the same dorm building were forcibly separated and now cannot be located.

Especially shocking were the lies evident in the three statements made by the administration of Chongqing University. They claimed that the victim and the victim's department did not exist. As educators, they have blatantly violated a basic set of ethics expected of those to whom we entrust the education of our young people.

When the news could not be completely concealed, the authorities sent agents to the Chongqing University campus. They purposefully displayed their modern surveillance equipment, publicly searched and arrested Falun Gong practitioners and people who might leak the truth out. They acted like bandits who are above the law. It appears that they have once again resorted to utilizing fear and intimidation to suppress public opinion.

However, I would like to advise those tyrants not to be so reckless. The measures the authorities took under the cover of so-called "stabilizing the overall situation" actually added more evidence of their crime. The measures that were used to cover up their shameless actions trampled the constitution, and at the same time, exposed their crimes even more.

Since Jiang's regime seized power, sexual violation of female citizens has occurred at an alarming and unacceptable rate. However, the incident of Wei Xingyan has the following unique characteristics.

1. The scale and depth of the government's involvement was exposed in varying degrees.
2. The face of a dark society and the attitude of reckless intimidation were vividly exposed in front of the eyes of the people.

They didn't realize that it may be easy to remove a name or a department from a website, but to remove the criminal act of a government from a person's memory is impossible, even if you have unchecked power. The authorities failed to realize that covering up a criminal act merely empowers the criminals. Their original intention was to cover up the incident, but the result was instead to expose their own deeds. Moreover, the more they tried to cover it up, the more they were exposed. This time, they cannot deny it any longer.

This event was abhorrent to both heaven and to the people. In order to expose the deeper implications of this event, I must mention a heroic tragedy in Chinese history as a reference point. For the last fifty years, the venom of atheism was widely spread and deeply rooted in China. Atheism was ruthlessly forced into Chinese peoples' brains with propaganda by the Party. Under attack by both "anti-feudalism" and "sexual liberation", the virtue of Chinese traditional culture has been rendered unrecognizable. The moral values and the principles of virtue were radically transformed. The citizens of China could not smell the stinking odor because they had breathed it for too long. If I don't compare this with a historic event, it will be difficult to expose the evil and awaken the people to their crimes.

When we recall the revolutionary heroine Qiu Jin, who landed a place in Chinese history for thousands of years to come, we cannot forget the heroic act of her facing death with a smile at the gate of Guxuan Pavilion, Shaoxing City in 1907. However, she made two requests: "Do not publicly display my head, and do not take off my clothes," and both were accepted.

Qiu Jin shed her blood for the country, caring little about losing her life. However, before her heroic death, she did uphold the dignity of a mother. Obviously, in the eyes of this heroine, there was still one thing that transcended life and death and transcended the value of a prestigious life. In my opinion, these requests displayed two aspects of Qiu Jin's greatness: first, she was a great mother and a great revolutionary. On the other hand, the confrontation between the late Qing dynasty and Qiu Jin was one of life and death. Despite the confrontation, torture could be applied, life could be taken, but the dignity of a mother could not be violated. At this point, the teetering Qing dynasty reached an agreement with Qiu Jin.

The greatest principle of humanity could not be greater than a mother's dignity, which is holy and inviolable. We will lose our humanity if we forget the dignity of mothers. Thus, a reference has been established to measure the evilness: How high is a mother's dignity and how deep are the sins of the Jiang Zemin regime?

Sexual violation is a trademark of a sinister society. Now the current regime of China that has called itself a republic for over 50 years has become such a dark organization. This is the misfortune of the Chinese people and a shame for the pioneers who shed their blood for the ideals of the republic.

Here, the Jiang Zemin regime can be best described using its own political terms. This political group has established a systematic criminal organization, the 610 office, which is above all law and order, from the central to local government. Their political guidelines are: "wipe out all destabilizing factors before they appear", "do not believe that the materialism of Marxism cannot defeat Falun Gong". Their slogans are: "destroy their reputations, bankrupt their finances, wipe them out physically", "beat them to death without bearing responsibility, beat them to death and count it as suicide". "There is no need to act according to law, no need to find out where they are from, just cremate them". Summarized in one sentence, there is no need to care about the consequences. The police, the Procuratorate, court, administrative offices, and neighborhood committees were all mobilized. All of the national media were spreading lies all day long. The tortures and means of the dark societies throughout history and across national boundaries were adopted, including killing innocent people and sexual violation of women.

This national calamity can be more accurately described as "the machinery of a nation becoming the machinery of a gangster society", or "The gangster society becomes nationalized". The image of a nation should be the symbol of righteousness. The function of a nation is to crack down on evil and to protect virtue, to uphold righteousness, to protect the property of its citizens, and especially the holy and inviolable rights of women and children. Just the opposite is being done in China. The tools of dictatorship were used to suppress its citizens; the means of gangsters were used to trample on women. The Jiang Zemin regime has united with criminal offenders and encouraged them to participate in this shameful crime by tempting them with reduced jail terms. The criminal offenders become the extension of the nation's immense machinery of terror.

There is nothing wrong with "ruling a country with virtue". If it is truly practiced, a country will be well governed. However, the Party selected Jiang Zemin. You would understand the true meaning of "ruling a country with virtue" in China if you listen to Jiang's words! When journalists asked him, "What is your opinion about the female college student activists for democracy in 1989 that were gang-raped?" On CCTV [China's state run television], he answered without hesitation, "As ruffians of 'June 4', it serves them right!" According to him, sexual assault of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience is justified.

I'd like to remind readers that this is not that unusual. Whoever holds the power of the Party, administration and the military is able to label people with a fabricated crime. In one shot, he has completely trampled basic human dignity under the banner of "national stability." In just a few words, he showed his true face of what he thought about the inviolable dignity of women in our society. Sexual assault became a punishment for political and ideological prisoners. The practice of torture by sexual assault actually became a part of the police's repertoire.

Let's see what kind of inhuman deeds they have done. Just for refusing to recant their belief in Falun Dafa, 18 female Falun Gong practitioners were stripped of their clothes and thrown into a male jail cell. In the streets of the capital city, female Falun Gong practitioners who posted truth-clarifying materials were publicly beaten and raped. The sexual organs of female Falun Gong practitioners were sodomized using shoe brushes, four toothbrushes bundled together, and electric batons of over 10,000 volts, and so on and so forth. Jiang and his underlings have stopped at nothing in their shameless rampage.

One of the most sacred things in Chinese tradition, and other traditions for that matter, is the sanctity of women, even in times of war.á Jiang has totally destroyed that in trying to achieve his objectives, dragging down an entire society with it, and people everywhere with a sense of decency and honor should recognize that, condemn what is going on, and do everything in their power to put a stop to it.
