Having seen the article "Ms. Zhang Mingyi Died as a Result of Brutal Treatment in Zhejiang Women's Prison" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2007/12/7/91909.html), my heart is crying. Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Mingyi was arrested and sentenced to prison in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. She was arrested at her residence in Zhenhai District, Ningbo City, probably during August 2004, and detained in a Zhenhai District detention center for four months. She was sentenced to three years of prison by the Zhenhai District Court.
Ms. Zhang saw that our local people didn't understand the truth about Falun Gong and was very worried about that. She suggested that practitioners from Ningbo City make concerted efforts to clarify the truth to the local people. She was taken into custody and died so that the people in Ningbo City could understand the truth and be saved. Every Falun Dafa practitioner from Ningbo City, how do you feel about this?
In 2004 when Zhang Mingyi was arrested, there were no Falun Dafa truth-clarifying materials in our city. When she died of torture in 2007, there were still no truth-clarifying materials. None of the people I've asked have ever heard about "withdrawing from the CCP to safeguard their lives," and none of them have ever read or heard of the Nine Commentaries. None of them have received any information related to Falun Gong or quitting the CCP. Until now, I have never received any paper currency with truth-clarifying words. I myself have done way less than I should and feel very apologetic to Master and the sentient beings that put their hope in us. I also feel very sorry about practitioners like Ms. Zhang Mingyi who have died from torture.
Another purpose of this article is to share with practitioners from Ningbo City. Such a situation must be related to omissions shared by all Ningbo practitioners. This is evidenced by our not daring to expose the evil, not daring to make truth-clarifying materials, no one assuming the role of coordinator, etc. All of this has resulted in sentient beings not seeing the truth. When the evil sees this, it focuses on the practitioner that steps forward. They dared to sentence Ms. Zhang Mingyi to three years of prison. Therefore, the evil in Ningbo City area is pretty active. For example, a large number of practitioners were arrested in 2004, and in July and August of this year many more were arrested. None of these arrests was fully disclosed to the media. At most they were given just a short mention. In 2004, when the greatest number were arrested, there was not even a short notice published.
Actually, everyone clearly knows in their minds what we should do. I think we're so fortunate to become the Falun Dafa disciples in the Fa-rectification period, but we must be worthy of this title and should not have too many human attachments. I hope Falun Dafa practitioners from Ningbo City will all evaluate ourselves from the Fa and share their thoughts on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. I just wanted to present my thoughts so that our whole one-body can catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification!
