I'm He Qun from Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. When I woke up from the nightmare in May 2002, I found nothing could be reversed: My happy family was broken, I was thrown into the jail, and my old parents had to pay the family debt after my wife and daughter left because of my mistake. All these happened just because I fell deep into Falun Gong.
It was in 1997 that I was introduced to Falun Gong labelled with "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." From then on, as asked by Li Hongzhi to "read thoroughly and repeatedly" and "really do cultivation," I spent lots of time reading his scriptures everyday. So my mind was controlled by these fallacies gradually. I refused to take medicine when I was ill because "Gong can eliminate viruses," and I treated my families carelessly for Li Hongzhi said that "Ordinary people live for emotion (qing), but as a cultivator, you can't confuse yourself with an ordinary person." As time passed by, these false thoughts were intensified, and my view of life and the world changed totally. At that time, I believed that the ultimate meaning of life was "to reach Consummation" or "to escape from the abyss of misery and return to Paradise."
"Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and "To be a good man" camouflaged Falun Gong. Swindled by its fallacies, I ignored my greediness, and I couldn't see through the cult nature of Falun Gong. In 1999, when the government banned Falun Gong, I could not accept the fact that Falun Gong was a cult. Meanwhile, Li Hongzhi published "the scriptures" continually overseas, saying that "the time of 'Consummation' was getting immeasurably nearer, and those who wouldn't go out (against the government) would lose their chance and would be eliminated and destroyed." Terror-stricken and for the sake of my Consummation, I began to initiate my illegal activities. Finally I was arrested for illegally printing a mass of Falun Gong leaflets.
In the detention house, I still protested against the law by going on a hunger strike asked by Li Hongzhi. When my parents heard of this, they came with my wife and child to persuade me. My mother knelt down in tears, begging me to rethink about them and my little child. I was not moved by her words at all, and on the contrary I blamed the policeman for arresting "the good man" and hurting my parents. At that time, I even could not tell what is good and what is evil. So now, you can see to what a degree Falun Gong can poison one's mind and destroy his humanity.
In March 2001, I was sentenced to seven years imprisonment. It was such a heavy blow to my wife and daughter that they left me and my family. Then, my old parents had to carry the burdens of life and pay the debts of the family.
While I am serving my sentence, my old parents do all they can to pay the debt. At the weekends and in holiday vacations, when other families gather happily for celebration, my parents could do nothing but cry bitterly at home. Whenever I think of this, my heart is filled with endless remorse and agony. Li Hongzhi promises that the family of the Falun Gong practitioners would "be rewarded," but I finally realize I have brought my family members nothing but sorrow and agony. I also find out that "to remove Karma for others" means to purposely harm others, and that's Li Hongzhi and his Falun Gong's vicious logic.
