Peru: Senior Center Members Benefit from Falun Gong Classes

 August 21, 2018 | By practitioners in Peru

(Minghui.org) Invited by the city government of San Borja, Falun Gong practitioners from Peru held a free meditation exercise class at the local senior center on August 10.

The Peru national TV station, TVPeru covered the event.

Per the invitation of the government, practitioners have taught the exercises at the senior center every week for a month. The classes have been very well-received and more and more people have come to learn.

The government officials were impressed by the physical and mental changes in the beginners. They then added the Falun Gong class to the regular community event list.

Gladys Campos said she has been sharing Falun Gong’s principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” with her friends every day, ever since she joined the class.

“My life has changed,” Gladys said. “I have started to treat everybody around me with compassion and a peaceful mindset. When I step out of the senior center, I smile at everyone I meet.”

Another class participant, Flora Herrera, has been suffering the aftereffects of a stroke for three years. She cannot move her right arm and needs a cane to walk. She said the Falun Gong exercises made her feel better.

“The first time I did the exercises, I felt a warm energy current flowing through my body. The peaceful feeling is so wonderful,” she said.

Nora Cornejo Puente, who had been suffering from insomnia, came to the workshop three times.

“I feel great these days,” she said. “I sleep soundly every day. When I wake up, I am very happy.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

秘鲁“老人之家”欢迎法轮功 电视台采访(图)

 明慧网二零一八年八月十七日】二零一八年八月十日上午,秘鲁法轮功学员应利马市圣·博尔哈(San Borja)区政府的邀请,在辖区之下的“老人之家”(CIMA)为民众教授法轮功五套功法,秘鲁国家电视台专呈前来采访,他们把学员们展示的五套功法及悠扬的乐声一一摄入镜头,还采访了法轮功学员露易莎(Luisa),她向记者介绍什么是法轮大法,在学习“真、善、忍”做好人、提高道德的同时炼五套功法,以达到祛病健身的功效。

露易莎并介绍:一个多月前,受区政府的邀请开始每周一次在“老人之家”(CIMA)为民众教授法轮功,这一简单易学驱病健身的好功法获得热烈反响,要求学功的人不断增加。区政府的工作人员看到大家在炼功之后很短的时间里身心发生的明显变化,都感到很惊讶,为了让更多的人了解功法,于是把学炼法轮功列为社区活动范围的日程。

‘My Kids Cannot Go to School:’ Mother of Three

 By Jennifer Zeng, The Epoch Times

“My twins were born in Hong Kong in 2007, and so have permanent residency. Who could imagine that for years they haven’t received normal schooling in a time of peace?” Ma Xiaoqin, a mother of three, asks the world this question in 2019. Her eldest son, 18, has not had any schooling since he was 12.

‘Hong Kong Saved My Twins’

In 2006, 39-year-old Ma Xiaoqin, living in Shenzhen City, China, and who already had a 5-year-old son, found that she was pregnant. As China still had the “One Family, One Child” policy, she thought she would be forced to have an abortion.

However, her husband Liu Kai strongly objected to the idea, as abortion goes against the principles of his Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) practice, which explicitly state that abortion equates to killing, and killing is strictly prohibited for practitioners of Falun Gong.

Luckily, Ma had a friend who was married to a Hong Kong resident. Her friend suggested that Ma go to Hong Kong for the birth, as Hong Kong didn’t have the one child policy and granted permanent residency to babies born there.

Ma happily followed her friend’s suggestion, and was overjoyed when she learned that she was pregnant with two babies—a boy and a girl.

Thanks to Hong Kong’s generosity and “open arms,” Ma didn’t have to abort her unborn babies unlike many other Chinese women who had no choice.

Things Turned Upside Down

When her twins, Mingxin and Mingyuan, were 3-years-old, Ma sent them to a kindergarten in Hong Kong, where she believed they would receive a better education.

At that time, Ma and her husband were running a successful catering business in Shenzhen. Every day their twins boarded a school bus and traveled between Shenzhen and Hong Kong for their classes. Their eldest son, Ronghe, attended school in Shenzhen.

Life went on relatively smoothly until one day in 2011 when everything was suddenly turned upside down. On June 25, when Liu Kai was about to send Ronghe to school, several police officers suddenly arrived at their home and took Liu Kai away. Liu Kai’s brother, also a Falun Gong practitioner, was arrested at the same time, his home was raided, and all of his Falun Gong-related materials were confiscated.

The Covert, Yet Real Persecution of Falun Gong

Seeing his father taken away by police, Ronghe was terrified. Ma was equally shocked and terrified. Although she knew that Liu practiced Falun Gong, and she had also learned it from him when she was pregnant with the twins to ease her severe pregnancy complications, she had no direct experience with or idea about the persecution of Falun Gong.

Falun Gong is a Buddhist-school practice for self-improvement, consisting of meditation, gentle exercises, and moral teachings centered on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. It is free of charge and gained widespread popularity in China during the 1990s due to its alleged health benefits. 

Because of its immense popularity, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched an intense persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, when the practice had between 70 to 100 million followers. Then, mass arrests, imprisonment, brainwashing, torture, and deaths of Falun Gong practitioners began happening.

However, due to the information blockade in China, Ma literally knew very little about the persecution; and Liu Kai hadn’t told her much so she wouldn’t be afraid.

Harassment and Threats

Liu was released after one day’s detention, but his brother was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.

After that, the police constantly harassed Liu’s family, threatened Liu’s parents, and even attempted to take Ronghe from his school.

The police officers copied all of the contacts in Liu’s cell phone when he was detained. They also called his customers to threaten them, and told them not to do business with Liu.

Harassment Extends to Hong Kong

The police started following Ma. Once, when she accompanied her twins to Hong Kong to attend a school performance, a police officer followed her and tagged along for the entire day, following her to the twins’ kindergarten, to her friend’s home while she visited, and on the return train.

“The police officer didn’t bother to hide the fact that he was following us. Police actually threatened that they could take my children any time they liked. Once they blocked the one-way road of the school bus my kids were riding on and held it there for about 30 minutes,” Ma said, “They also threatened that they could have us disappeared in 10 minutes if they wanted.”

“The CCP ‘s policy toward Falun Gong practitioners is to ‘ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically’. Under this kind of circumstance, it was very hard to continue living in China.”

The Escapes

On July 25, 2012, Liu Kai escaped to Indonesia. He chose Indonesia because he didn’t need a visa to enter, and he had a friend there who could help him after he arrived.

Two months later, Ma and the three children followed. “I didn’t initially intend to leave like that. I had found a primary school in Hong Kong for my twins and planned to have them attend. However, after my husband left, the police kept threatening and monitoring us. Every day we lived in fear. I also worried that they would take my children away. I had to leave with only a small amount of cash and abandon all the wealth we accumulated through our hard work.” 

The Hardships of Being Refugees

After Ma left, their company in China was closed. Two of their properties were involuntarily sold at auction and the proceeds were frozen by the court. Ma and Liu didn’t receive a penny.

Ma and her family were granted refugee status in 2013 by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and waited to be referred to a country that would accept them. However, that never happened.

“Refugees are not allowed to work in Indonesia. We have always been struggling very hard to make ends meet. As a result, we cannot afford to send our children to private school, nor would the public school accept them.”

Because Ma and her husband cannot work, they don’t have money to rent a house. They live at a space provided by a local Falun Gong practitioner. The twins live with their parents in a single room, and Ronghe sleeps alone in a small pavilion on top of the house, which has no walls.

When it rains, the bamboo curtains around the pavilion doesn’t prevent the water from pouring in from all directions. On sunny days, the area is extremely hot.

“Indonesia is very close to the equator, so it can be very, very hot here. To tell you the truth, I can hardly bear to see him sleeping in such a place. It really breaks my heart,” Ma said.

A Lonely Boy Who Has Not Gone to School for Nearly 7 Years

Ronghe was 12 and a 4th grade student when he left China. Since then, he has not had any schooling. He has been feeling very lonely, often shuts himself off from others, and cries secretly. 

He managed to remain on an internet chat platform with his former classmates, and that is his only connection with the outside world.

The Twins

Mingxin and Mingyuan are 12 now. They were a little bit luckier, as they were allowed to attend a local school in Bali, where they have been living since 2014.

However, in 2017, the school principal suddenly notified Ma that she would have to pay 1,000 yuan ($141.61) per month for the children to continue attending. As Ma couldn’t afford this, her twins stopped going to school.

Further more, local school are usually for local kids, and not open to refugees.

The twins try to be brave by keeping each other company and studying at home.

Hard to Get Help

Trish Cameron, a lawyer appointed by UNHCR to represent Liu Kai when he was detained in 2017, told The Epoch Times in an email, “As a lawyer I am unable to comment personally, or breach privacy. If the family is having difficulties they can request a counseling meeting with UNHCR to discuss any matters of concern with them.”

However, Ma said it was very difficult to schedule a meeting with UNHCR, or to seek help from that channel. Meng Han, a member of Indonesia Falun Dafa Association, explained that the association once sought help from the Falun Dafa Association of Canada, which submitted an inquiry to the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada regarding UNHCR refugee settlement programs. 

The reply stated: “To come to Canada as a refugee, they must:

  • Be referred by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) or another designated referral organization, or,
  • Be sponsored by a private sponsorship group.”

The Indonesia Falun Dafa Association then tried to contact UNHCR to ask about a referral for Ma’s family and several other Falun Gong practitioners, and attached the reply from the Prime Minister’s Office to their letter. However, UNHCR did not respond.

UNHCR hasn’t responded to The Epoch Times’ recent inquiry.

Is the CCP ‘Long Arm’ Playing a Role?

Ma said: “As far as I know, more than 200 Falun Gong practitioners have obtained UNHCR refugee status in different Asian countries. But we all live in distress. Looking forward, we have nowhere to go; looking back, we have no place to return to.”

Bitter Winter recently released a 19-minute documentary “The Long Arm of the Dragon: Chinese Harassment of Refugees Fleeing Religious Persecution,”detailing “how religious persecution in China generates refugees, and how the CCP extends its ‘long arm’ abroad to prevent religion-based refugees from obtaining asylum and persecuting them with various forms of harassment and violence.”

In one instance, the CCP pressured the Russian government to deport UN refugees Ma Hui and her daughter back to China. Their fate is unknown.

In another instance, according to the documentary, a refugee, surnamed Zhang, who was seeking asylum in Thailand, died strangely in hospital after a minor car accident. People suspected that he was poisoned [by the CCP] while hospitalized.

Ma said that in September 2016, Chinese premier Li Keqiang pledged $100 million dollars in humanitarian aid to the United Nations, and a $1 billion fund China had set up with the United Nations could also be used to address the displacement crisis. “I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or not, but since 2016, none of the Falun Gong refugees in Indonesia has been referred to another country for settlement, while UN refugees in other countries have been sent on. We all know that the CCP hates Falun Gong the most.”

一份来自中国劳教所里的生日礼物

 大纪元2022年07月09日讯】(大纪元记者李辰采访报导)6月30日,美国华盛顿DC,2022年国际宗教自由峰会的分会现场。一位华裔花季少女正在讲台上展示一段幻灯片。只见她脸上露出开心的笑容,向大家介绍:“这是父亲(在劳教所里)给我写的绕口令,这是他给我的生日礼物,是我收到的最好的生日礼物……”说到这里,她的声音哽咽了。

她的声音变得断断续续,她不得不稍作停顿,然后继续说道:“他在每一封信中都注入了那么多的思想和爱……或许,这是他能够履行父亲职责的唯一方式……”

2008年,汪明慧的父亲从劳教所里给女儿寄来一份特殊的生日礼物——“绕口令”。(汪明慧提供)

台下,不少听众眼睛泛红,伸手拭去眼角的泪水……

这位少女名叫汪明慧,来自中国广州,目前是加州伯克利大学的一名学生。

她向大家展示的是她在中国大陆8岁时收到的生日礼物。这份特殊的礼物,不仅仅承载了父亲厚厚的爱,还承载了过去十几年中汪明慧全家在中国大陆所留下的难忘印记。

痛苦的记忆 “第一次”见母亲

打从娘胎起,汪明慧就和父母亲一起,经历了很多她原本不该承受的磨难。

汪明慧的父母都是法轮功学员。法轮功,是以“真、善、忍”为原则的佛家修炼功法,包括五套功法动作,因祛病健身效果神奇,广受欢迎。1999年前,中共公安部内部统计,法轮功修炼人数达7000万至1亿人。这个数字,超过当时中共党员约6000万人的数字。1999年7月,中共时任党魁江泽民下令三个月内消灭法轮功,严酷镇压坚持修炼的人。

汪明慧的母亲邓怡,在身孕8个月时,和丈夫汪宏发到北京上访,为法轮功说句公道话。两人从此上了警察的黑名单,被迫流离失所。

为了让孩子有个相对稳定的生活,汪明慧在1岁到5岁之间,被父母送到爷爷奶奶家照看。5岁时,父亲来接她,她都不认得父亲。

她印象中第一次见到母亲是2005年。母亲当时被抓到广州的一个洗脑班。

“她被铐在椅子上,嘴里面插着很粗的塑料管子。几个人围着她。当时她被强制灌食一种液体,气味很难闻。她看起来非常痛苦。”

在中共黑狱里,“灌食”并不是医学术语。医学灌食,本是为了挽救无法正常进食人的生命;但在中共黑狱里,“灌食”是一种强制性的残忍的酷刑,随时有致人死亡的可能。据海外明慧网2010年不完全统计,暴力灌食直接导致死亡的大陆法轮功学员至少有358例。警察给法轮功学员灌的食物使用包括:浓盐水、浓辣椒水、大蒜汁、芥末油、人尿、大粪水、高浓度酒,甚至有摧毁神经系统的不明药物等。

看到母亲被灌食,小小年纪的汪明慧又恐惧,又无法理解。

“当时我很害怕,大哭,不想靠近妈妈。想妈妈怎么会是这个样子?”

后来,父亲对女儿解释说:

“他们(中共)的伎俩就是这样子,让妈妈觉得是因为她不放弃信仰,才让家庭遭受这样的痛苦,让小孩哭成这个样子。因为你不放弃信仰,你不能和你女儿团聚。”

汪明慧慢慢地了解和理解了母亲所承受的痛苦。

她说,妈妈曾经写下这段经历,“灌食对我妈妈来说,每一次都是濒死的体验,很痛苦。”

“(利用亲情来胁迫)对我妈妈来说,这是精神和肉体的双重折磨。她当时已经绝食抗议超过一个月了,身体很虚弱。”

“就在那样的身体折磨下,还要这样在精神上受折磨,让她放弃信仰。” 她说,

汪明慧2005年这次在洗脑班见到妈妈,并和妈妈住了几天。“走的时候,我就拉着我妈,想让她一块走,但是他们又不让她走。”“我记得我哭得撕心裂肺的。”

这就是汪明慧记忆中第一次见到母亲的样子。

法轮功是什么,她心里有很多个疑问。父亲告诉她:在迫害以前,每天早上,在悠扬的音乐声中,广州市大小不同的公园里都有法轮功学员炼功,炼功动作缓慢而优美。炼功之后,他们就打扫清理场地,然后再去上班。

汪明慧的父亲从小体弱多病,并且患有抑郁症,曾多次到医院做手术,高中时曾休学一年,因为身体不好,非常自卑;修炼法轮功后,身体都好了,整个人精神面貌也焕然一新。

汪明慧很遗憾,没能亲眼看到在迫害之前法轮功在中国洪传的情况。

在这场迫害中,她的成长时时伴随着恐惧,父母总是轮流被中共抓捕。

父亲被抓 从劳教所里寄来生日礼物

北京奥运前的2007年,汪明慧的父亲汪宏发当时在广州市城建职业学院教书。他向同校一位计算机系的老师讲法轮功被迫害的真相,却被举报了。

为了迫害法轮功,中共开动全国媒体宣传机器抹黑法轮功,并炮制了“天安门自焚”伪案,掀起不明真相的民众对法轮功的仇恨,将法轮功学员推到社会的对立面。“天安门自焚”案,被国际社会公认是一场世纪骗局。但是,很多大陆民众被谎言蒙蔽。为了揭穿谎言,讲清真相,大陆法轮功学员付出了难以想像的代价。

汪明慧的父亲这次被警察带走的时候,家人都不知道他被带到哪去了。

她说,“我和妈妈去了很多地方,问了很多部门,才知道我爸爸是被送去了那个很偏的郊区劳教所。”

“那段时间,我爷爷悲愤交加,2008年肝癌去世了。 到爷爷去世,我爸爸都没能见他最后一面。”

“我(也)没有见到爸爸,他们不让探监。包括我爸怎么知道我爷爷去世的,那都是通过写信……”

写信,这是当时和父亲沟通的唯一方式。汪明慧的妈妈也想让女儿多写信,因为她自己写的信,不一定送得到。

汪明慧说,“我在信中写家里的一切变化,我长多高了,多重了,我游泳晒黑了,长胖了,学习怎么样……都告诉他。”

没想到,所有这些细节都被父亲记在心里。

“我发现他都记得。我生日之前,爸爸给我写了一篇绕口令,里面都写上了。”

2008年,汪明慧的父亲从劳教所里给女儿寄来一份特殊的生日礼物——绕口令。(汪明慧提供)

这篇绕口令,是这么写的:

致明明:

在家总爱看电视?
一不小心成胖子;
学会蛙泳不容易。
可怜晒成“巧克力”;
“巧克力”似老师,
指出爸爸的错别字;
寄邮票,送贴纸,
爸爸成了大孩子;
哈哈哈——
谢谢一片好心意!

巧克力“小老师”:
笑完说些正经事,
新的学年要开始,
一些事情别忘记:
不要躺着看电视,
否则可能赛邓怡;
饮食东西要节制,
切忌暴饮又暴食;
平常学习多努力,
游戏娱乐应适宜;
讲礼貌,懂道理,
增见识,长志气,
那才是爸妈的好女儿!
小老师,好女儿,
生日临,中秋至,
爸爸经常想着你!
爸爸衷心祝福你!

汪明慧记得,收到爸爸的绕口令,当时她非常开心。因为年仅8岁,那个时候,并没有想太多。

在一年半的劳教时间里,汪明慧的父亲给她写了近十封信。

汪明慧说,“许多年后,我再读那些信,我意识到他从未和我谈过他所承受的痛苦。看起来,他似乎总是很乐观,叫我不要担心他。在很多封信中,他都向我道歉没有及时回信,因为当时“非常不方便”。那个时候,我没有想很多。”

“但是,当我长大后,了解到他的经历后,每一次想到他(在信中)所说的‘不方便’,我都会心痛。我会想,那些‘不方便’是什么呢?每天连续16小时的强迫劳动吗?是日复一日地被绑在椅子上,不被允许动一动?他遭受了高压电棍的折磨吗?……我不敢想太多。”她说。

焦急等待母亲接她放学回家的日子

汪明慧至今清晰地记得她在学校焦急等待妈妈来接她回家的情景。

她在中国大陆就读的那个小学,学校大门口是一道可拉伸和缩进的半人高的铁门,那里也是教学楼一楼的一部分,铁门的上面,就是教学楼二楼。放学后,一些小伙伴们就在铁门后面的走廊里,等着爸爸妈妈接他们回家。

有时候,汪明慧的妈妈因为工作忙,会晚来接她。身边的小伙伴们一个个被接走了,就剩下她一个人在那里等啊等啊……一开始,她默默地流泪,再后来,她开始抽泣,慢慢变得泣不成声。 一些老师都觉得很奇怪:你妈来晚一点,你就哭了?你那么大,你不会觉得你妈妈不要你了吧。

那段时间,汪明慧的妈妈总是骑着自行车,从一份工作的地点,匆匆赶到下一个工作地点。为了家庭生计,她总是骑着自行车在城市里四处奔波。

这些老师并不了解汪明慧心里的恐惧。她说,“她们不知道,我是多么害怕他们(警察)把我妈妈也抓走。因为我当时已经见不到爸爸了……妈妈晚一点来,我都会在脑子里想很多事情……脑中会想出各种情节:她是不是在骑自行车的时候被拦下了……”

别的孩子无忧无虑,时时有父母陪伴,而小小年龄的她,早已承受了不该承受之重,也更懂得珍惜父母给她的深深的爱。

父亲不在身边的日子里,汪明慧也时常把父亲的信,包括那篇绕口令,拿出来反复看,一边看一边哭。她说,“那段时间,这些信是父爱的唯一来源。”

尽管身在劳教所,但是父亲写给她的信,总是充满了光明,有给她深思熟虑的建议,也给她讲幽默的笑话……这些信,让她在那些黑暗的日子里,明亮起来。

父亲再次被抓 全家被迫逃亡

2011年1月,走出冤狱不到三年的汪宏发准备回老家过年,在火车站安检时再遭拘捕,因为身上搜出了一张法轮功真相光碟。

拘留期满那天,下着小雨,汪明慧和母亲一起去拘留所外接父亲。

隔着老远,看到一脸胡渣,身形消瘦的父亲走出拘留所,她再也忍不住了,脱口而出,哭着喊爸爸。

“我记得非常清晰,才十几天,感觉爸爸一下子变得好老,好憔悴……”

但是,父亲还没走出拘留所几步,旁边又有警察把父亲塞到一辆警车上,要把他带走。

汪明慧不顾一切地跑上去,抓住警察的衣服,想让他们放开爸爸……但是,最后,爸爸还是被他们带走了。

汪明慧的父亲被带到洗脑班,强制他放弃信仰。在那里,因为迫害严重,他的血压一度飙升到二百多。洗脑班不愿承担责任,所以,允许他保外就医。

也就在这个期间,汪明慧全家做出了一个艰难的决定——抛下一切,偷渡到泰国,寻求联合国的难民庇护。

2013年,汪明慧和父母如愿来到了美国。那些信,包括那篇珍贵的绕口令,也随同她一起来到美国。

2022年6月30日,美国华盛顿DC。汪明慧在国际宗教自由峰会的分会场上说,“能和父母一起来到美国居留,我感到非常幸运和感恩。”

“我们只是一个普通的家庭。我们想要的只是可以自由地修炼法轮功,自由地信仰法轮功的‘真、善、忍’原则,然而我们不得不冒着一切风险,使之成为现实。”

“尽管承受着巨大的压力,中国大陆法轮功学员仍以积极和平的方式反迫害,冒着生命危险讲出真相。”

“就在我对你说话的这一刻,他们中很多人正在黑暗的牢房里,遭受着迫害。”

“对于生活在自由世界中的所有人来说,我们至少能做的就是——坚定站出来,告诉更多人真相。”
