The way that Falun Gong practitioners use to clarify the truth is by simply telling the facts. Over the past five years, Falun Gong practitioners have been peacefully and perseveringly resisting the persecution. Countless Chinese people hated Falun Gong because they listened to slander and lies. Under such conditions where there was no just and fair source of information, the holistic campaign against Falun Gong began. At that time, though the number of people who practised Falun Gong was large, there were also many people did not understand or know about it.

While being interviewed by Chicago's New Epoch TV Station, Yang Sen said, "Five years ago, Jiang's group told lies that deceived the whole world. Any individual or government who has learned the truth will make their own choice." The statement highly praised more than 1,000 practitioners who have died as a result of persecution: Over the past five years, while facing persecutors' torture, countless great lives who have cultivated in Dafa, and followed the journey of practising "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," have persisted in their righteous beliefs with great compassion and tolerance, without complaints or regret, to create unprecedented solemn chapters. Trampling upon these rights is a blatant challenge to human morals and dignity. These human rights traverse national boundaries and governments and gain humanity's recognition. A spokesperson for the Mid-US area Falun Dafa Association read a statement that said, "The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights stipulates that everyone enjoys freedom of belief and freedom of speech. Opposite the Chinese Consulate, Falun Gong practitioners hold a candlelight vigil to commemorate fellow practitioners who have died as a result of persecutionįive years on, in the drizzle, Chicago practitioners held banners reading "Falun Dafa is Good," and "Stop State Terrorism." Facing a long row of candlelight, people passing by who have learned the truth slowed their paces to observe. Over the past five years, Falun Gong practitioners have followed the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," resisting the unprecedented persecution in a peaceful and rational manner, and with their great compassion and tolerance, clarified the truth to people. On July 20, 1999, Jiang's group launched a brutal campaign nationwide targeting Falun Gong practitioners who persist in their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Instantly, one hundred million Falun Gong practitioners were deprived of freedom of belief and basic human rights. This time practitioners lit candles to commemorate the 1,009 Falun Gong practitioners who have died as a result of the persecution launched by Jiang, the ex-dictator of China and his group five years ago. On July 20, Falun Gong practitioners in Chicago once again gathered outside the Chinese Consulate General.
