Hu Qingyun
A Falun Dafa practitioner
Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province
(detailed address omitted by editor)
Dear President Jiang Ze-Min, Premier Zhu Rong-Ji and other leaders concerned,
I was an officer of the High Peoples Court of Jiang-Xi province, and a former Communist Party (called Party hereinafter) member. I had worked in the area of law and regulation for 16 years. I have never been against the Party or the government, and I am always honest and appreciative to the Party and the government.I have never thought that, because I practiced Falun Dafa after getting a deadly sickness, leukemia, that I would be pushed to the opposite side of the government and would be arrested. With the attitude of being responsible to the Party, to the government, to the people, and to history, I hereby report to you my current situation and the truth of my experiences. I hope that you can make an objective analysis and a thorough judgment through my experience and the facts.
(Part 1)
On August 21, 1999, 'Nan-Chang Evening' published in its headline that there was a Falun Gong practitioner instructed by the assistance center to write an article about "Falun Gong" giving him a "second life".But this practitioner was actually a patient in critical condition who had spent 300,000 Yuan RMB on medical expenses over his six hospitalizations. The article stated that I washospitalized six times while practicing Falun Gong, from June 28, 1997 to the present (at that time, August 21, 1999)".It was said in the newspaper that I, Hu Qing-Yun, had spent most of my time in the hospital.The newspaper used this as evidence to accuse Falun Gong of cheating the world.
The truth is that before I practiced Falun Dafa, I suffered from many sicknesses including stomachaches, sore throats, nose infections, pain in my neck, insufficient supply of blood to my brain and regenerated anemia.Therefore, I never had a comfortable day.I had to take medicine daily, and a large amount of medical expenses were accumulated.Unfortunately, in 1997, I developed an incurable disease, acute leukemia, which is one of the most difficult types to cure among all forms of leukemia. I had little ability to produce blood. During emergency treatment, I was also infected with the hepatitis B and C (the hardest to be cured among the different types of hepatitis), and pulmonary tuberculosis. Five major hospitals in Shanghai and Jiang-Xi Province gave me emergency treatments and doctors held group consultations many times.On two occasions, a doctor at the Chinese Academy of Science held a group consultation in person for me.Finally, all the experts concluded that there was not any medicine that could cure my leukemia and that I would only live for one to three months. While receiving treatment in Shanghai, the doctors suggested that I go back home (Jiang-Xi province) as soon as possible. Thus, a senior nurse accompanied me back to the hospital in Jiang-Xi to wait for the end of my life. In February 1998, at the final stage of the three-month period concluded by the doctors in Shanghai, the doctors in Jiang-Xi told my family members that I had at most three days to live. They suggested that preparations be made for my funeral.
At the last moment of my life, I obtained the precious book Zhuan Falun. I read the book and started to cultivate according to what is said in the book. Then, a miracle really happened. My life was prolonged, the time limit of my life expectancy made by the doctors was surpassed. One month later, I started to practice the exercises in bed. Not long after I practiced, I gradually stopped chemical treatments, blood transfusions, medications and all other treatments.At that time, the bad cells in my blood had already increased from 30% to 65% after chemical treatment. The medicine and the treatment were ineffective, the bad cellscontinually increased throughout the treatment. I lost 18kg and could not eat (only taking liquid food). I could not go to the bathroom, could not turn over in bed and I had pain all over my body. After practicing in the hospital for more than two months, my body recovered gradually. My experience showed that there was a remarkable effect in my body due to the cultivation and practice of Falun Dafa. Under my insistence, the hospital reluctantly agreed to release me from the hospital with the diagnosis ofleukemia.They strongly suggested that I return to the hospital for a treatment in one month.I firmly cultivated and practiced Falun Dafa after being released from the hospital. I never again went back to the hospital for chemotherapy, blood transfusions or other treatments.
However, the newspaper intentionally claimed that my being hospitalized five times prior to the practice of Falun Dafa had actually happened after or during my practice, disregarding the fact that I never again went back to the hospital for treatment.Therefore, the newspaper lied by claiming that, after my practice of Falun Dafa, I was admitted to the hospital six times and stayed for a long time.And the picture published in the newspaper with the caption Hu Qing-yun, on his bed, said to the reporter that: I stayed in the hospital six times in the past two years, it is science and the country that have given me a second life.They made up this lie to deceive people, the Party, the government and the leaders.
During the several months I was in the hospital, my medical expenses were as high as 320,000 Yuan RMB.However, even with this money spent, my health condition didnt improve. Instead, the cancer cells increased from 30% at the beginning of the treatment to 65% after the treatment. My body completely lost its immunity and resistance to disease. I almost died in the hospital several times. The medical scientists and doctors could not save nor prolong my life. However, a miracle occurred through my practice of Falun Dafa.This is a fact that nobody could possibly deny.In regards to my treatment history and the treatment results, professors Wang Zhen-Yi (the director of the Blood Section of the Shanghai Medical Science Institute), Sheng Zhi-Xiang (the vice director), Sun Guan-Lin (the vice director of the Blood Section of Shanghai Rui-Jing Hospital), Liu Mao-Fa, Shao Yi, and Wu Shi-Li (of the First Hospital of Jiang-Xi Medical Institute) were all very clear.
After I practiced Falun Dafa, I always kept in mind what Master Li Hongzhi teaches, There is a criterion, however, that the life prolonged beyond your predestined time to live is completely reserved for your practice. If your mind goes wrong a little bit, your life will be in danger because your lifetime should have long been over.I truly understood that cultivation is a serious matter, so I persisted in reading the book, cultivating my heart and practicing the exercises daily. My life was prolonged and I was released from the pain of illness. The heavy financial burdens and the mental pressures on my family were also relieved. And also a large amount of medical expenses were saved for the country. (With the normal treatment, every leukemia patient spends 100,000 - 200,000 Yuan RMB per year, not to mention the special cases. Even after so much money is spent, the life of patient will likely not be able to be saved.)
(Part 2)
In August 1999, Nanchang TV stations and newspapers broadcast the news that I was once again sent to the hospital. A reporter interviewed one of the senior doctors of the Blood Section of the First Hospital in Jiang-Xi Medical Institute, who had never met me before and did not know anything about my treatment history. This doctor said, Hu Qingyun left after his leukemia was cured by our hospital. There was nothing to do with Falun Gong. After that, I asked this doctor why he lied. He said that anybody would say the same thing under this "big climate" and he asked me not be too serious about it.
The truth is: On July 21, 1999, I was detained by the police under the allegation of disturbing the social order with other people.While I was being arrested, I stated that I was once a leukemia patient and according to what doctors said, I was a patient with a fatal illness, without any immunity and any resistance to disease. As a practitioner with a prolonged life, I could not stop practicing the exercises. My life would be in danger once I stopped practicing. I thus asked the police to change their forceful measures.A policeman who was in charge at that time, said, You cant threaten us using this (leukemia). They put me into jail and I stayed with criminals. Every leukemia patient and their family all understand that a leukemia patient does not have any immunity or resistance to disease. They could not be in a draught, could not eat anything cold, could not touch cold water, could not catch a cold and could not be infected. If any of these were to happen, the patient's life would be in danger and he or she would not be able to be saved.
In the jail, I was not allowed to practice and read the books. Everyday, I had to drink cold water, wash my face and feet with cold water and take a shower with cold water, but I was not beaten. In a few days, I began to bleed from my mouth and nose and I developed blood spots all over my body.I lost consciousness twice in the jail. I asked my inmates not to report and I endured it by myself.For me, I had already been near death several times, so I did not mind dying once more. I insisted on enduring it for 20 days.On August 9, 1999, as I lost consciousness once again, the people in my cell were afraid of undertaking the responsibility so they reported my situation to the officers in charge of the detention station and the police department.The police sent me to the Blood Section in the First Hospital of Jiang-Xi Medical Institute to receive an emergency treatment.After the examination, the doctors said I had very low blood pressure, the leukemia was really serious, and it was better to take some measure of treatment as soon as possible.
I understood deeply that before practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered greatly from this fatal illness and struggled with pain. I almost died several times in the hospital.I knew that the medical scientists and the doctors would not be able to save me. Whether I could live or not was unimportant to me. What was important was that I had practiced Falun Dafa and I truly understood what the purpose of being a human being is. Thus I refused all the arranged treatments, no more shots, no more pills and not a single drop of blood transfused.I rested in the hospital for 15 days and then left.
I firmly believe that as long as I continue my cultivation practice, my life will be prolonged continuously until I reach the final goal of my cultivation. The facts show that in one and a half years from February 1998 when I started practicing Falun Dafa (the end of my life concluded by the doctors from Shanghai) to July 21, 1999 when the police detained me, I practiced Falun Dafa in a peaceful environment. My life did not end, instead, it had been prolonged and my health was improved gradually.After I was detained, the police deprived me of my right to practice. Within twenty days, the "leukemia" got worse, I was bleeding all over my body and with low blood phase.After being released from jail on August 9, 1999, I resumed the practice and book reading.Even though the hospital diagnosed me with leukemia and that my condition was very serious, my life continued and my health was gradually recovered again.
However, the TV stations, newspapers and the people with ulterior motives disregarded the facts and made up the story of my entering the hospital again and that Falun Gong had not cured me, etc., to deceive the public.I would like to ask them a question: is the fact that my life was saved the result of how much money was spent or the contribution of the hospital? When I was released from the jail, I didnt take any shots, or pills and did not receive a drop of blood, instead, I persisted in practicing and reading the books. I have stayed alive for more than 7 months, from the time when I was released from the jail to the present. And my health is getting better and better.Is there any advantage for the world and the public to read this kind of report that presents false information and makes white into black?Why don't they dare to report the miraculous effects and the supernormal scientific phenomena of Falun Dafa?
(Part 3)
In October 1999, the police department arrested me again with another charge, which was "running a business illegally".The truth is that I assisted two bookstores to order the legally published books, video tapes and audio tapes of Falun Dafa on four or five occasions (all had valid documents from the government and the publisher) after they provided me with the list (there was the address, the contact, the type of goods and the unit price on it). I was neither the legally responsible person, nor the shareholder or the salesperson for them. I didn't participate in the sales and management, nor pay any checks to the employees or get paid a penny from them myself. Where did "running a business illegally" come from? I was told that while a policeman was questioning the boss of the bookstore, they wrote a deposition"I helped Hu Qing-Yun run the business, the profit was passed to him and then he sent it to the assistant center", and then they asked her to sign. After she refused by erasing this statement, the policeman swore at her and threatened her.
In December 1999, the tax authority found me and said that the bookstore evaded taxes and they must pay a fine. I was responsible for the fine. They said that the police authorities decided to fine me, that was why they came to see me (they didn't follow the legal procedure to let the court judge know who was the salesperson and the person who was legally responsible).I claimed many times that I was neither a legally responsible person, nor a salesperson, and all my money was confiscated when the police authorities searched my home. I did not have money left to pay this great fine. However, the official of the tax authority said, "if you don't pay the fine, we will execute it with force. And finally, we will sell your house at an auction to offset the fine".
It was on July 21, 1999 when the police authorities arrested me for "disturbing the social order with other people".They searched my home for several hours and took away about 9,000 Yuan RMB in cash, a bank savings' book of about 80,000 RMB, a computer of value around 14,000 Yuan RMB, two private home certificates, two cellular phones, 8 pieces of jewelry and all the receipts from people who borrowed money from me. In October 1999, they informed me orally that the cash and the money in the bank they took away were all confiscated without a confiscation receipt. I said that I still owed others some money and I wished I could take back a portion from the money confiscated, I was not allowed. According to the law, my debt could be paid back by what had been confiscated. The police did not follow the regulations of the law.
My total medical expense is 320,000 RMB, I only received the reimbursement of 110,000.The majority of it will not be reimbursed due to all kinds of reasons. Since I have practiced Falun Dafa, I didnt receive any paychecks from my work unit. My properties and savings were all confiscated. I must also pay the fine of 60,000 RMB and I am facing a trial. How can I survive?
In December 1999, I was expelled from the Party by my work unit. The reason was that I participated in the petition to the provincial government, wrote a cultivation experience article and sold books to the bookstores. Recently, I was told that the work unit is going to fire me.
The purpose of this letter is to invite you to find the truth of the persecution I received. Try to imagine how an everyday person, a leukemia patient who did not practice, could endure such persecution and the detention in jail? Would he not prefer to leave this world?It is because I practiced Falun Dafa that I have such a supernormal ability to endure so much tribulation and persecution. As a person who has "died" several times, and was sentenced by the hospitals with death, there is nothing that I can't let go of. I am not interested in politics and I will never do anything to against the Party and the government. I dont want to be used by politics to defame Falun Gong, nor to be used to attack the Chinese government.I sincerely wish that you could meet the genuine practitioners (instead of non-practitioners or fake practitioners), to see what they are thinking and doing.
Finally, I would like to say a few words from the bottom of my heart -- the truth. Falun Dafa practitioners benefit from their practice and cultivation. They understand how to be people of high moral standards and to be extra-good people. They dont believe in preaching, or mind control. Unless practicing cultivation, the everyday people will never understand the benefits received by practitioners. Is it possible to ask them or force them to give up their practice?
