An unbelievable tragedy is happening to a large group of children in China, which boasts a glorious history of over 5000 years.

Xinyu, Hanhan, Qingqing, on and on, a number of beautiful names and innocent faces, with numerous accounts of atrocities and experiences, have been, with their sad but longing eyes, looking forward to and crying for our conscience and compassion to awake to reach out to that age-old land.

They are the orphans- seventeen orphans whose lives are at risk at the very moment. According to the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, only because their parents practiced Falun Gong and upheld their belief of “Truth-Compassion-Tolerance,” their parents were tortured and persecuted to death in China, and left behind are these young, and innocent lives. On this very day they live alone without their parents- some are wandering about homeless. Some of them are just beginning to learn to walk, hobbling along with their arms wide open to their parents, who, sadly, already perished, as the result of persecution.

These orphaned lives are so young and fragile, as everyday they are putting on the borderline of life and death. The most unfortunate were the five children who lost their young lives themselves in the horrendous persecution- the youngest was just eight-month-old. Another ninety-five children lost one of their parents for the same reason with the remaining parent being illegally imprisoned and persecuted. Because of the tight control and blockage of the media and the passage of information in China by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the information we collected is merely the tip of iceberg.

As small streams form oceans, collections of compassionate hearts will certainly shake heaven and earth. As we strongly believe, the more compassion and righteousness everyone in the world shows, the sooner the tragedy of these children can be stopped from extending and the fate of these children be reversed, the fewer days these children struggle under the terror due to the loss of their parents, and the sooner the innocence and laughs return where they used to belong.

Today, once again, we, the teachers and students of over thirty Minghui Schools around the globe, urgently appeal to all good-hearted people around the world: please reach out your hands. With your conscience and compassion, show your loving care for these innocent children; with your righteousness and courage, act immediately to rescue the orphans of Falun Dafa practitioners who died of the persecution in China.
