Lanzhou University set up a designated "610 Office," which has actively followed the persecution activities of the city "610 Office." The above faculty and students in Lanzhou University cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and they work and study hard. Some of them were recommended and guaranteed to enter graduate school. Some were class leaders. They were excellent in their studies. To these good employees and students, the university not only did not protect them but helped Jiang's group to persecute them. In order to please upper level officials, the university often holds persecution activities targeting Falun Gong practitioners. The purpose is to cater to the upper level officials and deceive the students.
