"While working, I can get cold, dirty and strained. Some of my colleagues will speak say dirty words; it is really difficult to reach the level of “Tolerance”. Sometimes, I make it, I feel very happy. Sometimes I fail to do it well, I will try to look inward and make an effort to do it well next time. Actually, how we are thinking, every thought and every idea is very important."

Before July 20th, 1999, Luo Gan, head of Chinese Communist Party’s Central Political and Legal Committee colluded with other Chinese officials to take advantage of their power to unreasonably persecute Falun Gong practitioners believing in the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance in order to achieve promotion.

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Cao Dong is one of the practitioners that met with the European Parliament Vice-President to expose the persecution on May 21st, 2006. He is now suffering brutal persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while in jail and trying to request his wife to hire a lawyer for him. The CCP is trying to stop this from happening and trying to prevent him from contacting international media through intimidating his wife.

On October 9th, 2007, four practitioners went to visit another practitioner, Ms. Wang Yanjun. Several policemen broke into Ms. Wang's house. Without showing any warrants, they ransacked and confiscated belongings. Mr. Kang, who is more than 70 years old, went downstairs to confront the police but because he is old, sick, and weak, he was pulled back upstairs. Mr. Wang was taken to a criminal police team and two policemen handcuffed his hands behind him on an iron chair. He refused to answer the officers' questions. One policeman slapped him and then forced mustard oil into his nose and mouth. Mr. Wang was handcuffed for a long time, resulting in a loss of feeling in his hands that persists even today. Witnesses said that after the torture session that night, Wang Cunlai's face was swollen and his mouth and hands were bloody.

On January 8th, 2008, Liu Jing went to the National Security Team of the Sanhe City Police Department to enquire about the situation of her mother, Yang Huirong. Her mother had been arrested by the National Security Team a couple of days earlier. On the night of January 2nd, 2008, Ms. Yang Huirong, in her 60s, and Ms. Wang Lanhua, in her 40s, were taken away. Liu Jing intended to take her mother home. However, Liu Jing herself was detained. Then the police from the National Security Team ransacked her home and searched her mother's home again.

On October 18th, 2007, when Falun Dafa practitioner Zhu Guilin was going downstairs in her home, 610 Office agents, who had been waiting downstairs, grabbed her and dragged her down. Zhu Guilin's clothes were torn and her upper body was exposed. Zhu Guilin shouted that officials were arresting an innocent person. A number of bystanders witnessed the arrest, and many of them denounced the officials' conduct. In spite of sharp criticism from the bystanders and the protest of her family, these people forcibly took Zhu Guilin to the Changde City Brainwashing Centre. Zhu Guilin started a hunger strike to protest the persecution and was brutally force-fed.

May Fang was a hotel manager in Wuhan before she came to the US two years ago. "The show was magnificent and the music was excellent. It was very exciting and spiritually uplifting." Fang said, "There were so many westerners in the audience. I am very happy and very proud to see so many Westerners appreciating our precious culture."

Ms. Wilson said she liked all the performances in the Spectacular, especially the "Drummers of the Tang Court." She appreciated the Chinese culture so vibrantly presented in the Spectacular. When asked what aspect of the show made the strongest impression on her, Ms. Wilson said, "I like Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance the most.. It is an idea that can connect all people in the world."
