Shake The World
This is a true story that occured in 1999 in Shijazhuang City of Hebei Province, China. It is a tragic story, in which Falun Gong practitioners, people who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerenace, are brutally persecuted by the Chinese Communist Regime. It is a story of compassionate deeds and noble conviction.
Shake the World reveals the initial stages of the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong started in July 20, 1999. It tells the story of Ding Yan, a typical Falun Dafa practitioner as she takes us through the first days of the persecution of Falun Gong, the Beijing News Conference held by Falun Gong practitioners in China on October that shocked the world, and the magnificent Guangzhou Fa Conference in November 1999. Ding Yan is eventually persecuted to death at the hands of the police after suffering brutal physical and mental torture.
Watch the full documentary now
Uh, maybe no votes cuz you can’t see the film?
Now it’s OK, though the subtitles are kind a small.
yeah, u need binoculars to see the subtitles. I have seen Falun Gong protesting but never knew why. This doc could have offer that but the subs are hard to read.
Yes these guys have been protesting outside of the Chinese embassy for years.
Falung Gong is some kind of meditation/movement technique and its practitioners claim to be regularly beaten and abused by their government. A sorry state of affairs.
They are considered a threat by the chinese government for reasons that i cannot fathom, possibly for encouraging anti-establishment feelings. I would be extremely interested to find out more details on the subject but the Chinese internet ban prohibits any real discussion . I live in hope.
Author the world’s most touristy tourist goal and that’s authorised, folks – can confidently quest to offering it all, from glam beaches and storybook castles to widescreen countryside and municipality modishness. It’s a state of hammy juxtapositions – the stylish boulevards of Paris, the unaltered foliage of the Loire Depression, the deep slopes of the Range, the lavender comic of Provence, the epicurean restaurants of Lyons, the cliffy control of Corsica – and one which, when usurped as a undivided, presents a near-perfect traveller packet.Writer is the most visited state in the group. It has everything that you could e’er requisite to see on your holidays: a major metropolis suchlike Town, sainted beaches, many monuments than any additional country, lovely nature, tall elevation scenery; worthy nutrient.
As I understand it, the Falun Gong movement was growing rapidly in China. Although it has no political ambitions, one of the ambitions of Falun Gong is to improve one’s moral and ethical character. Any unifying movement in China is seen by the government as a threat to the established powers. The Chinese government wants to be the only authority directing the public. Any religious, spiritual, or political movement that becomes large enough has the potential to turn on the government and stage a protest demanding reform. The government is not going to tolerate that. The outcome would be like Tiananmen Square all over again. The Chinese government chose to squash Falun Gong out of fear. I wonder if some officials even thought they might be doing the people a favor by sparing them an even greater an inevitable bloodshed later on down the road.
The Chinese government, however, is just stalling the inevitable. Movements cannot be fully eradicated and the Internet cannot be completely censored. I don’t see how they can rule with an iron fist and still allow their people to travel and do business internationally. The people are only being quiet now because they are distracted by the sudden and unabated inrush of wealth that resulted from China’s economic reform and subsequent industrial revolution. No matter how bad things are compared to the rest of the world, they are still so much better than they were a couple generations ago. This growth will have to slow one day. A contributing factor to the decline will be when economic conditions improve to the point that workers start to demand better pay and working conditions, driving the cost of production up. These same people will demand a response from their government and the stage will be set for a new revolution in China. I believe it will be a subtle, non-violent revolution, though.
Have any of you actually bothered to learn about their teachings? A book was authored by Li Hongzhi, their leader and the creator of this religious cult. He’s a racist biggot and a complete loon. Falun Gong is Scienthology times ten.
I know a few friends from China that said Falun Gong is a cult that ask members to give up there wealth for the organization and promotes suicide. Of course, I’m not certain if this is government propaganda. And then there is the Western media portraying Falun Gong as a spiritual organization.
Will likely need to research Li Hongzhi and the book Jimmy mentioned.
Okay, after reading some info on Li Hongzhi – I think he’s a total crackpot. Source is from the BBC. Apparently, he can levitate, is on par with Jesus & Buddha, and has powers of persuasion. Yup, this is right up there with Scientology – total garbage. http://bbc.in/chcq5d
This is not a documentary! This is a propaganda film! What are we supposed to believe that blinding light sometimes shines from this woman? How did this get accepted as a valid documentary?
Doco’s are supposed to be facts. The first third is made up dialogue. Because this film makes up some elements, all elements can’t be trusted and hence this whole documentary gets dismissed. I don’t know how much is true & how much is lies
I am a Practitioner and Falun Gong is not Scientology nor is it a Religion and we would never ever commit suicide.
Is it wrong to make this World a better Place?
It starts in me to make a change to be better…
Why not read the Book and then speak from ur heart and not just move ur Lips…..
