overseas media on Falun Gong

Believing in Li Hongzhi's Falun Gong will result in self-extermination and people should keep away from it, said Shao Jun, a former Falun Gong practitioner.

"My experience taught me that Falun Gong will lead a person nowhere but self-destruction, and it will destroy anything human including jobs and families," said Shao, 55, who was unguardedly trapped by the Falun Gong cult and began practicing it about three years ago.

Shao, a staff member at a local hospital in Cangxi county in southwest China's Sichuan province, abandoned the evil cult and decisively quit practicing the Falun Gong cult last February.

"I would like to thank my family, friends and colleagues, who patiently helped me out of my obsession and encouraged me to fight against the evil thoughts of Falun Gong," she said.

Recalling the past experience with Falun Gong, Shao said she was simply living in a nightmare and now she is awake. "It is really absurd to be pious about such a malefic cult," she stated.

She further calls on all people to see through the tricks of Falun Gong and firmly keep away from it.

The Chinese government has made great efforts to ban the Falun Gong cult. So far, many Falun Gong followers in China have realized the cult's nature and Li Hongzhi's tricks.

Thanks to the government's help, many innocent people, especially women, children and the elderly, have been saved and have returned to their normal lives.
