Dear uncles and aunties working in the community and local police precincts,

Greetings! I'm a 6th grade student and a 13-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. I have had a dream for several years, which is to have an environment for us to speak the truth. Today, for you, your family and your children's future, please allow me to tell you some words that I have been keeping in my heart for the past several years.

When I was younger, I had a wonderful and happy family. Both my parents loved me dearly. But just when I started my schooling, my parents began to quarrel with each other and later they even started to fight. Every time, I cried and screamed to stop them from fighting, however, the quarrels happened every other day. What had happened? As I grew up, I gradually got to know that it was because my dad had a lover outside the home. I was very angry and firmly stood on my mom's side, criticizing my father. As time passed, my mother suffered from heart disease, neurasthenia, and insomnia due to grief and anger. The family misfortunes hurt my heart. I was absent-minded every day and skipped classes, which resulted in my grades dropping fast. In addition, I often lost my temper with my classmates. In the end, one day, my parents decided to divorce. I cried and said, "I can't leave mother, nor can I leave father. If you divorce, then I will not live any more." As I went all out to protect my family from breaking apart, and because my parents truly loved me, they did not get divorced, and the days passed by with quarrels every day.

In the summer of 1998, my mother had a chance to attain Falun Dafa, and she changed into a totally different person. She pulled herself together and was always in good spirits. She participated in group Fa study and exercises. At home and outside, she was always the first one to do the hard work. All her illnesses were gone before we knew it. Most importantly, she no longer fought with my father. She did not hate anyone or complain about anything. She was happy every day. She no longer lost her temper. Upon seeing all those changes, I thought, "Wow! Falun Gong can change a person so fast. It's amazing."

Under mother's influence, I gradually understood that Falun Gong is taught by Master Li and it is a high-level cultivation system in the Buddhist school. And it is based on the highest principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." In Zhuan Falun, Master Li uses modern science to explain cultivation principles and methods in simple language. After reading this book, many people have experienced significant changes both physically and mentally. They begin to realize the true significance of their lives. Most of them try their best to be a good person and then gradually achieve a higher morality, not pursuing fame or personal interest. They are strict with themselves according to the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance."

Gradually, I also started to cultivate. I now do not quarrel with my classmates. I respect my teacher and like my school; I am strict with myself based on the standards of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." I became the top student in my class, and my classmates and teachers liked me a lot more. My father also gave up his bad habits and supported us in practicing Dafa. It is Master and Dafa who made our family reunite.

In July 1999, however, the persecution of Falun Gong began. My mother and other Dafa practitioners stepped forward and went to the Appeals Office in Beijing and told the officials about the benefits of practicing Falun Gong. They acted according to their right to freedom of belief and the right to appeal, which are give to everyone by the Constitution. They hoped that the government would stop the persecution of Falun Gong. Was it not showing their trust in the government? But they were illegally detained for 15 days. A year later, they were tricked and taken to a brainwashing class. Because my mother held firm to her belief, and did not lie nor give up the practice of Falun Gong, she was sent to a forced labor camp. At that time I was only 10 years old. I missed my mother. My mother is a good person, and she had not done anything illegal. Why was she locked up with criminals, and why did the police detain good people?

I missed my mother and I cried secretly because I was afraid I would make my father feel sad. Every night it was hard for me to fall asleep. I would cry myself to sleep. Once I had a nightmare. I dreamt that my mother was hung to the metal window in prison, and a policeman instigated two criminals to whip my mother. I ran to protect my mother and yelled at the criminals... My father woke me from my dream, and I cried hard in my father's arms. My father held me in his arms and cried with me for a long time. I raised my head and asked my father, "Is it wrong that mother cultivates Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance? Did she violate any laws?" Father replied, "Your mother is the best mom on earth, and I feel sorry for what I did to her in the past. Don't worry, my darling daughter. I will try my best to bring her back."

Later, a message came from the forced labor camp that my mother was demanding her unconditional release, and that she had already been on a hunger strike for a week. When I heard that, I was very anxious. I did not want my mother to die! I wanted mother released! I cried and did not want to eat or sleep. So I also began a hunger strike. Afterwards, my father and I went to the forced labor camp. Even though we did not see my mother, we met with an official from the labor camp. We reasoned with him and pointed out that Dafa practitioners are not guilty of anything and that the persecution is violating the law. We told them that if any misfortune happened to my mother, we would not let off any responsible criminals. We also demanded her immediate release. In addition, we patiently woke the buried kindness in this official and clarified the facts to him. We hoped that he could make a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil and discern the truth from the lies. Finally the official understood the truth and thanked us. In this way, through the efforts inside and outside, my mother was finally released after 13 days of being on a hunger strike. I was so happy that I followed my mom around everywhere. I stroked her thin face gently. Our family was finally reunited again.

Nevertheless, I cannot forget that thousands of children's parents are still in detention just because they are following a teaching that leads people to be good, and upgrades human morality according to "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." They have been brutally tortured and put near the edge of death. These children surely wish to be united with their parents. And many children still have no knowledge that they will never see their parents again due to Jiang's policy of, "Ruin their reputation, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically," and, "Death of Falun Gong practitioners from beating is nothing, and is counted as suicide; no need to check out their identity, cremate the body straight away locally."

Dear police uncles and aunties working in the police precincts and local communities, you also have spouses, children, parents, siblings, and most importantly, a sense of justice deep down inside, which the evil cannot destroy. Good is rewarded with good and evil gets karmic retribution, and this is an everlasting, heavenly law.

Dear uncles and aunts, please treat Dafa practitioners kindly and help Dafa practitioners. Don't do Jiang's bidding, so that kids like myself won't be separated again from their parents or be forced to wander the streets, and also so that you and your families will have a bright future. Jiang can no longer protect himself from justice, and good will overcome evil. Your futures are decided by yourselves. Dear uncles and aunts, please wake up from the lies! Use righteousness to uphold justice and truth, and truly save our culture and nation. Let's keep a piece of pure land in the world. An awakened new mankind will come into being from "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance."
