overseas media on Falun Gong

The following are some remarks made in response to "Against Cults and For Civilization":

"I'm indignant at the way Falun Gong has poisoned juveniles," wrote a viewer named Liu Lijuan.

"I really appreciate the efforts of the exhibitor, who took over five months to prepare the exhibition. The show really created an ideological battlement safeguarded by Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory to fight against cults and superstition," wrote Kong Zhaoxu, a retired employee of the All-China Agricultural Museum.

"Falun Gong is not only the enemy of the Chinese people, but also a common enemy of those who love world peace and respect knowledge and science. It deserves vigilance and lashes from all righteous people," wrote visitor Qiao Chunhong.

"I suggest the cultural circle should base a movie or TV show on some of the disclosure of the cult's tricks to better educate the public." -- Visitor Bai Yujie.

"A very convincing and effective anti-cult show." -- Han Juyin from Chongqing.

"Great show, necessary and timely." -- Zhang Xiaodan from Harbin.

"It would be better to tour the exhibition around the country so that Chinese people will no longer be fooled by cults. Let western anti-China supporters see what a cult they have been backing up." -- Visitor Wang Meichang from Xi'an Foreign Language Institute.

"The battle against Falun Gong is a serious political war, a long-term and complicated war." -- Visitor Liu Xingde.

"I will bring the materials back home to enrich the contents of the anti-cult bulletin on our campus." -- Visitor Zhu Xiaoping from the No. 5 Middle School in Xiangfan, Hubei Province.

One Falun Gong practitioner wrote: "I will break away from the Falun Gong cult and start a new life. Please convey my respect to all people involved in helping Falun Gong practitioners get rid of the cult."
