The float attracted the attention of many people, both Brazilians and Chinese, as it passed by. People took photos the float and some even chased after the float while taking videos. Some people listened to the information broadcast from the float and came to ask practitioners for flyers.
(Minghui.org)Brazilian Falun Dafa practitioners gathered in Sao Paulo on the last weekend before Christmas in 2020 to hold a parade. Practitioners on a float informed spectators via a loudspeaker about Falun Dafa and the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.
With Christmas and New Year’s Eve approaching, Brazilian practitioners wish their Master a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from afar.
Sao Paulo is the largest and most populous city in Brazil. Falun Dafa practitioners decorated their float with balloons and ribbons, and hung banners with the words “Falun Dafa is Good,” and “Stop the Persecution” on the front, sides and rear of the float. The float travelled through the city center slowly while practitioners demonstrated the exercises on it, raised awareness through the sound system, and handed out flyers on the street.
Practitioners put their hearts into creating the float to share Falun Dafa with the people of Sao Paolo.
The Falun Dafa float travelled through the city center, attracting the attention from people in vehicles and pedestrians.

When the float passed the wholesale market that is frequented by many Chinese people, practitioners handed the Chinese who were running the stalls copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and a weekly Minghui publication.
Brazilian Falun Dafa practitioners hope that more people throughout the world can learn about and benefit from Falun Dafa.
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.

Sept. 7, 2024 | By a Minghui correspondent in Jilin Province, China
Prior to this last persecution, Mr. Tian was previously arrested numerous times for practicing Falun Gong, which he credited for curing his heart disease and nephritis, and enabling him to quit smoking and drinking. He was given one year of forced labor after one of the arrests.
Most Recent Place of Detention: Changchun City First Detention Center
Mr. Tian Yuchun from Changchun City, Jilin Province died 21 days after he was released on bail in critical condition. The Chaoyang District Court threatened to sentence him to three years even after he passed away on July 24, 2024. He was one month shy of turning 75.
Mr. Tian was arrested at his home on April 18, 2024, by four officers from the Jinqianbao Police Station in Erdao District. They said they targeted him because their supervisors ordered them to fill a quota and arrest a certain number of Falun Gong practitioners by May 1st (China’s Labor Day).
Falun Gong has been persecuted in China since July 1999. The Chinese Communist Party is notorious for intensifying its persecution of practitioners around its “sensitive dates.”
The arresting officers confiscated Mr. Tian’s Falun Gong books and valuables. They promised to release him after they interrogated him, only to take him to the Changchun City First Detention Center the next day. During the required physical examination, Mr. Tian was found to have high blood pressure, stroke symptoms, and retina detachment. By law, he was unfit for detention, but the detention center still admitted him.
Mr. Tian’s family appealed to the detention center, to no avail. They then turned to the local association of people with disabilities, but they refused to help. The family hired a lawyer but the detention center said Mr. Tian was a “political inmate” and was not allowed any visitors (either family or lawyers).
The detention center even threatened to have the lawyer’s license revoked if he dared to keep representing Mr. Tian. On June 20, 2024, a guard notified Mr. Tian’s family that he vomited, lost consciousness that day and was diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction. His family asked to visit him but they were turned down. When the detention center found Mr. Tian also had bile duct cancer eight days later, they informed his family to apply for his bail release.
It took a few days to process all the required paperwork. By the time Mr. Tian was released on bail on July 3, 2024, he was so weak that he could not walk without assistance. He later told his family that he was held in Division Five at the detention center and was forced to sit on a board motionless every day. In less than one week, his bottom bled and developed a thick layer of calluses.
He also said his health decline started long before June 20 when the detention center called his family. He said he was taken to the detention center hospital in May 2024 and restrained in a bed with his hands cuffed and feet shackled all day long. The guards only allowed him to wear his underwear and a thin pair of pants. He was not given anything to eat. Three guards watched him and refused to say what injections he was given every day.
It was still chilly in Jilin in May. With his upper body naked, Mr. Tian implored the guards and the nurses to allow him to put on his shirt. They all ignored him.
Despite his condition, the detention center waited until June 20 to notify his family. He died 21 days after he was released.
Prior to this last persecution, Mr. Tian was previously arrested numerous times for practicing Falun Gong, which he credited for curing his heart disease and nephritis, and enabling him to quit smoking and drinking. He was given one year of forced labor after one of the arrests.
Abused During One Year of Forced Labor
Mr. Tian was arrested on March 11, 2002 and held at the Changchun City Detention Center for 30 days before he was given one year of forced labor at the Chaoyanggou Labor Camp.
During his first seven days at the labor camp, Mr. Tian was forced to sit on a small stool motionless from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, with only three meal breaks. The slightest movement caused him to be beaten. He was also forced to recite the detention center rules. His buttocks festered because he sat for hours.

One week later, Mr. Tian was assigned to Team Four. As soon as he was brought there, a team captain and an inmate shoved his head in the space between the ladder rungs on a bunk bed. They next twisted his hands behind his back and flogged his buttocks with a wooden plank.
The only food he was given was cornbread and cabbage. Due to the poor living conditions, Mr. Tian developed scabies all over his body. The itching was unbearable and the blisters oozed pus and fluid.

Grandma Liu borrowed a copy of FalunDafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, and began reading. “My legs used to hurt so much that I had to take painkillers every night in order to fall asleep.” She said, “It was a midsummer night when I began reading Zhuan Falun. After I read the first chapter, I felt sleepy. So I put the book down and immediately fell asleep. After I woke up, I wondered why my legs didn’t hurt the night before. I also forgot to take my painkillers! I read the second chapter the next day and the same thing happened again. On the third day, I read the third chapter and forgot to take painkillers again, and I slept very well. The book is magical!” After she read the entire book, Grandma Liu said, “I must learn this practice. It’s miraculous!”
(Minghui.org) Many people admire 88-year-old Ms. Liu Lan. Seeing her now, it’s hard to believe that she once relied on crutches to walk and was told she needed to have major surgery to replace dead bone with metal.
Ms. Liu Lan, 88, relied on crutches due to femoral head necrosis when she was middle aged.
Grandma Liu graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and worked as an engineer for a scientific research institute for 40 years. She said, “There were no computers and we had to draw our designs.” After she retired in 1992, her legs were in constant pain. She went to a hospital and was diagnosed with femoral head necrosis. Her condition worsened and she had to rely on crutches to walk. The doctor told her that she needed to have an operation to replace the dead bone with metal.
In order to avoid the surgery, Grandma Liu started practicing qigong, but her condition kept deteriorating. Someone suggested that she try Falun Dafa.
Throwing Away Her Crutches
Grandma Liu said, “I was a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and an atheist. I tried Chinese and Western medicine to cure my disease, but nothing helped. I read a lot of books about spirituality and converted to Buddhism. I wished to have my condition resolved, so I started practicing Falun Dafa.”
Grandma Liu borrowed a copy of FalunDafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, and began reading. “My legs used to hurt so much that I had to take painkillers every night in order to fall asleep.” She said, “It was a midsummer night when I began reading Zhuan Falun. After I read the first chapter, I felt sleepy. So I put the book down and immediately fell asleep. After I woke up, I wondered why my legs didn’t hurt the night before. I also forgot to take my painkillers! I read the second chapter the next day and the same thing happened again. On the third day, I read the third chapter and forgot to take painkillers again, and I slept very well. The book is magical!” After she read the entire book, Grandma Liu said, “I must learn this practice. It’s miraculous!”
She signed up for a nine-day Falun Dafa class. That was in 1997. The people who registered watched videos of Master’s lectures. After watching the first lecture, Grandma Liu felt relaxed. She said, “I had many minor ailments. After watching the lectures, my entire body felt relaxed. I was able to walk home, but out of habit, I still used my crutches.”
Grandma Liu began doing the Falun Dafa exercises with practitioners every morning. The other practitioners noticed her legs were getting stronger. After she did the exercises for three months a practitioner told her, “Throw away your crutches. I’ll accompany you home today.”
The practitioner walked with her until they reached the entrance of the compound where Grandma Liu lived. The doorman didn’t allow outsiders to enter. The practitioner was concerned and asked her, “Can you walk?” Grandma Liu recalled, “I walked home. My husband was stunned and asked, ‘You didn’t use your crutches today? You can walk?’ I said, ‘I can.’”
Grandma Liu no longer needed crutches and she canceled the major surgery that she had booked six months before.
Keeping Kindness Throughout Multiple Persecution Campaigns
Grandma Liu was in her 30s during the Cultural Revolution. “All my family members served in the army and were CCP members. They followed the Party’s directives and harmed people during the Cultural Revolution. But I never abused anybody, physically or verbally. I even protected a 50-year-old cadre who participated in China’s War of Resistance against Japan.”
A row of people, including this old cadre, were forced to stand on stools during a “struggle session.” Grandma Liu recalled, “I asked him to come down from the stool. He said, ‘Would it work that I come down?’ I said, ‘I’ll stand in front of you. When the red guards come to push you around, beat and curse you, you hold onto me, and at least you will not stumble.’”
Thirty years later, the CCP found another target, and Falun Dafa practitioners were subjected to persecution. Her former coworkers all knew her story: a a previously handicapped person no longer needed crutches after practicing Falun Dafa. Thirteen of her former coworkers began practicing Falun Dafa after witnessing her recovery.
On July 20, 1999, the day the CCP banned Falun Dafa, her old workplace held a meeting and told practitioners to sign a statement renouncing Falun Dafa. Grandma Liu refused. She said, “You all see me. I’m the biggest beneficiary.” When one of her former coworkers told her, “Now you’ve become a counter-revolutionary,” She said, “I practice Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and I strive to be a good person. I haven’t committed any crimes.”
The director of the security division at Grandma Liu’s former workplace saw that she no longer needed crutches after practicing Falun Dafa. He had a back pain problem and planned to go to the park and learn the exercises. The persecution of Falun Dafa suddenly started and he did not dare to practice, but he protected Grandma Liu.
Every time the police came to take Grandma Liu to a brainwashing session at the police station, the director stopped them from entering the workplace compound. (In China, state-run companies usually provide apartments for employees. The area is usually only accessible through a secured entrance.)
The director told the police that Grandma Liu was on a trip. When they left, he immediately called her and said, “Don’t go out now, or I will lose my job.”
Grandma Liu’s husband worked as technical advisor to the mayor before he retired, and he had contacts with city officials. When the director of the police department visited their home, he saw that she no longer needed crutches. He told her husband that he would turn a blind eye and try to use his power to protect her.
After living through the CCP’s many persecution campaigns, Grandma Liu said she clearly saw the CCP’s tyranny. She thus published her statement to quit the CCP and its affiliated organization on the Global Service Center of Withdrawing from the CCP.
Telling People that Falun Dafa Is Great
Grandma Liu moved to Canada in 2005 and lives with her daughter. Her daughter was infected with COVID-19 while working in a hospital in June, 2021. She came home, packed some basic necessities and lived in isolation. Grandma’s husband was infected during this short period of contact. While taking care of her husband, she also had some illness symptoms. Her husband was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, and an X-ray showed that half of his lung had already turned white. He passed away 2 weeks later. Grandma Liu also had difficulty breathing and was rushed to the hospital. She was able to recover after being hospitalized for three days.
Her daughter said that most people in their 80s in Toronto who contracted COVID-19 died, and the hospital wanted to draw blood from Grandma Liu for scientific research. She said, “Master took care of me and I survived.” Four tubes of blood were drawn, and tests showed that her blood contained antibodies. Her daughter told her happily, “Your blood can save lives.”
She asked her daughter to tell the hospital that it was because she practices Falun Dafa and the pure and righteous energy in her blood resisted the virus and produced antibodies.
Grandma Liu often says, “My life is given by Master.” Therefore, regardless of whether it’s the heat of summer or cold winter, she takes a bus every week and reads Falun Dafa books with other practitioners. She also regularly participates in doing the exercises outdoors at a group practice site. She does whatever she can to let people know how wonderful Falun Dafa is and about the brutal persecution of practitioners in China. She uses a computer to send information about Falun Dafa to China.
