Witnessing History by Jennifer Zeng

There is an air of mystery and ignorance about Falun Gong that has caused many people to turn a blind eye to the plight of its practitioners. This is the story of one practitioner’s struggle and persecution at the hands of the Chinese government. Although Zeng’s writing style is quite raw, it is exactly this that brings life and sincerity to her story. She is a typical, average Jane Chinese citizen, who fell upon Falun Gong in an attempt to overcome a debilitating form of hepatitis.
