1. [Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioners Broadcast the Truth at the Luotai Resort Brainwashing Center
On the evening of October 6, 2003, Dafa practitioners went to Luotai Brainwashing Center in Fushun City, Liaoning Province and broadcasted Dafa music and truth clarification recordings. According to information provided by fellow practitioners, Luotai Brainwashing Center is located in a remote, well-hidden place. When the practitioners set out, the bright moon lit the road for them. The practitioners put up a machine with a timer and then left. At the same time, lightning and thunder covered the sky unceasingly, but the rain was light. To quote Master:
"The Heavens shrouded in darkness, the Earth enveloped in gloom.
The thunder of the Gods explodes, dispersing the dark, dense haze.
And sweeps across the rotten demons who sought to ruin the Fa.
Do not say that our mercy is somehow lacking."
("The Heavens Become Clear Again")

Don't you know my mother's conduct?" The police were unable to advance any further arguments to justify themselves, and threatened: "If you intervene again, you will be arrested as well!"

Song Guirong has worked for Changbai Hotel for over seven years and is a top-notch pastry chef. This happened only because she practices Falun Gong, believes in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," and refused to compromise with the evil and write "Guarantee Statement." [A statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.] She was forced into retirement.
10. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Dafa Practitioner Zhang Yufan Resists the Persecution with Righteous Thoughts
In November 2001, when Changchun City Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Yufan was handling out Dafa truth-clarifying materials, she was illegally arrested by the police. She refused to cooperate with the perpetrators: she did not tell her home address, her name or the source of the materials, nor she did not betray fellow practitioners. A young police officer asked her to defame Teacher and Dafa, and when she refused him she was slapped on the face twice. She maintained strong righteous thoughts, and sat to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. The police shouted that she would be sentenced to ten years re-education through labor if she still did not answer. She was not moved at all, saying, "Go ahead. Regardless, I won't betray Teacher, I won't betray Dafa. I am already over 70 years old. I had many illnesses before practicing Falun Gong, such as heart disease, tracheitis and rheumatism. It was Teacher Li who gave me a healthy body, and I would rather die than betray Teacher."
Ms. Zhang firmly believes in Teacher and Dafa. With her powerful righteous thoughts and righteous actions, she walked out the den of evil with dignity and returned to her Fa-rectification mission of clarifying the truth and saving the sentient beings.

Let's all send forth the most powerful righteous thoughts, and destroy the arrangements of the old forces.
12. [Hebei Province] An Unforgettable Experience Sharing Conference
Not long ago, Hebei Province Dafa practitioners broke through layer upon layer of resistance, removed all sorts of disturbances, and successfully organized an experience sharing conference.
We talked about many topics, ranging from respecting Teacher and Dafa, to the deeper meanings of Dafa's principles; from sending forth righteous thoughts with a calm heart, to globally suing Jiang; from looking inwards, to the importance of studying the Fa; from face to face clarifying the truth, to the urgent sense of saving the sentient beings; from pure thought, to "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities." Other topics ranged from natural and man-made disasters, to the necessity of cosmic changes; from personal experience of righteous thoughts and righteous actions, to writings about deeply touching cultivation experiences on "Minghui Weekly;" from how to make truth-clarifying materials that are willing to be accepted by everyday people, to how to save sentient beings with our hearts, with no formality; from "there is sacrifice in forbearance" to "selflessness and altruism;" from improving as a whole body, to walking every step well on the path of Fa-rectification...
The conference began at 1:00pm and finished after 4:00pm. We were all immersed into the peaceful and compassionate atmosphere and did not want to leave. Many practitioners overcame the pressure, got rid of interference and came out to share experiences. We looked for our shortcomings and improved together. This kind of chance is really precious.

13. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Perpetrator Fled to Daqing in September
Central Political Committee member Huang Ju is one of the key people in Jiang's regime that persecutes Dafa and Dafa practitioners. In September, he went to Daqing in the name of inspecting the reconstruction of an old industrial base. He called in some Party and political leaders, such as Sun Shuguang from Daqing Oil Field Company etc., to inquire about the situation of Falun Gong. As a result, the local authorities once again ran rampant on the surface for several days. We should not treat things lightly, all the time of cultivating ourselves well. We should pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth completely.
