I am a girl who grew up in a rural area of China. When I was in junior high school, there was a question on my exam paper regarding Falun Gong. The teacher told us: "The person who defames Falun Gong the most gets the highest grade." At that time, I complied with the vicious beings' intention to slander Dafa because I did not know the truth about Falun Gong, and I was also tempted to get a "high grade." Now I am in the working world, and my boss is a Falun Gong practitioner. I have noticed that he and his fellow practitioners all have compassionate and pure hearts, it is totally different than what was depicted on television. Their words and activities are not against society or humanity. I like to be with them because they are all very peaceful and compassionate. They never have bad intentions toward others. If I haven't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would never have believed they are good people.

When I was still in school, the television programs and teachers deceived me, and as a result, I wrote things that defamed Dafa, now I terribly regret it. Although I am not a Falun Gong practitioner, I know that a good person will not side with bad people to spread rumors that will hurt others. I now declare that every bad thing I wrote about Falun Gong while I was in school is all voided. At the same time, I hope all fellow students like me can awaken to the truth about Falun Gong because they have been deceived as well. I am also reading the book now. I am in the process of gaining a better understanding of Falun Gong: why are Falun Gong practitioners so benevolent?
