“The CCP’s long arm has reached into other Asian countries. It also controls the rallies and the speeches and democracy in Western societies, which is a great challenge to basic human values. Falun Gong has persevered for 25 years to counter this phenomena. This has moved me greatly. Actually, Falun Gong practitioners are not the only ones persecuted by the CCP. Falun Gong helps people to become aware of the true nature of the CCP.

“Falun Gong is wonderful. They are not a political party nor a political group. But they help counter the infiltration and counter the persecution. They have accumulated boundless virtue.”

A man from Chiayi City said, “People who practice Falun Gong have positive energy. Every one of them looks kind.”

Doctor Huang Shiwei said, “Organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners is the utmost evil—something that has never happened before. The US Congress passed the Falun Gong Protection Act, which demands that the CCP stop the persecution of Falun Gong immediately and will punish those who are involved in it or who participate in organ harvesting.

“On the day the truth is revealed, every one of us will have to ask ourselves what we did to end this persecution.”
