May 13 is the 60 anniversary of Falun Gong founder
Mr. Li Hongzhi and the 12th World Falun Dafa Day,
celebrated by Falun Gong practitioners worldwide.
Twelve years ago, the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong,
spreading series of fabrications overwhelmingly.
Mr. Li Hongzhi has suffered strong injustice.
Truth again renews outside attention.

Mr. Li Hongzhi was born in Jilin on May 13, 1951
in an ordinary intellectual family. He began
practicing the Way in the Buddha School as a child
cultivating "truth, compassion, forbearance" (真善忍).
Master Li, as he is usually referred to,
began to teach Falun Gong on May 13, 1992.

China Central Television (CCTV) accused
Mr. Li Hongzhi of intentionally changing his birthday
in the hopes of claiming himself
to be a "reincarnation of Shakyamuni". Mr. Li said
in an interview: "During the Cultural Revolution,
my birthday was mistaken, so I changed
the wrong birthday back to the right one."

A Hong Kong World News reporter paid a visit
to the Changchun Public Security Bureau
to investigate. It was confirmed that
what Mr. Li Hongzhi had said was completely true.
Mr. Li Hongzhi said he never claimed
he was Shakyamuni.

CCP has always been afraid of organized groups.
The regime accused Falun Gong
of being a "close-knit organization", claiming
the "Falun Dafa Research Society" to be illegal.
Falun Gong emphasizes on actual practices,
not form, implementing loose management.

Former coordinator in Falun Gong Research Society,
Ye Hao, said Mr. Li Hongzhi offered several classes
in Beijing, organized by the China Qigong Scientific
Research Council, which officially
accepted Falun Gong in 1993,
and set up a Falun Gong Research Branch.

Ye Hao said: "They (council) believed Falun Gong
is good, so they accepted Falun Gong. In July 1995,
Master Li discontinued his classes around the world.
In China, Falun Gong wanted to withdraw
from the Qigong Association. We handed in an
application, and exited the council in April 1996. "

As for the accusation against Mr. Li Hongzhi
of "collecting money" Ye Hao said that Falun Gong
classes in China were all organized by provincial
and municipal Qigong Scientific Research
Associations. Organizers shared 40% of the revenue.
In ten-day classes, new students paid RMB40, and
old students RMB20, the lowest charged
among all Qigong classes in China.

Falun Gong practice sites all over the world
have no charge in teaching Falun Gong.
Spokesman Zhang Erping said: "Not only books,
videos, but also music and exercise instructions
can all be downloaded online for free.
Just go to www.falundafa.org,
you could download them all for free."

CCTV claimed that Mr. Li Hongzhi has a mansion
in Changchun. However, Changchun people knew
that this is false, as it was known where he lives,
which is a very simple and crude apartment
at the 4th floor of a building in West Gate.
