For example, my photos.
I also brought two things.
Put it on the wall.

But I don't know
What he looks like
We have a rule.
He will say certain things
I will answer
Yes
I noticed
There are four
Very unlikely hotel guests
Sitting there.
So I know they're not
I thought to myself
These four people.
They will surely appear.
Find me
He knows me.
Ask me.
How is the weather in Australia?
I said
Very good
very simple
We are out.
He visited me.
I told him
What are we doing?
He asked me
What I have done
Wait.
Then he said
Do you realize you've been caught?
Yes, I know
He said
You will be fine
I know you'll be fine
No matter how
I go out
of course
When I passed
They stand up.
Then start following me.
So I drive to the corner
Down the ladder.
An abnormal ladder.
Drive to the 8th floor.
Then to the lobby

I remember myself
Oh my God, they started.
What I'm saying

Then he put us there.
Then I thought to myself
We should leave.
I don't want to
I feel responsible.
Be responsible for everyone.
He stood beside me
This young man.
He is very stingy
He said what should I do?
I look like I'm doing my job.
But I know what I'm doing
I feel that
That's what he wants to do
My mother was dragged away.
She was put on the bus

Three of them.
Try to catch me.
But they can't catch me
I just want to focus.
They can't catch me.
Then four or five people
Catch me
Pull me
They can't catch him
He's just
He has not yet fully awakened.
So they have two policemen
Take him from their hands.
They took him to the bus.
They ask us.
They screamed in front of us.
Our social economy.
Trapped in silence
I said it's not true.
That's just my understanding.
We are for work.
We live a normal life.
We were tested by society.
We are doing this.
We are for learning.
We help the community.
Instead of being stuck in silence

She wants me to sign
I said no.
She said I would write in English.
She did an English job.
She's a cop
I said look.
You're really going out
Look at the world
This is not true
They don't believe in Western practice.
This is Chinese.
Stuart and I are special.
Because one thing we want to do
Tell the Chinese.
Chinese people are studying all over the world.
The main thing we have to do.
Yes, when we returned to Melbourne
We have media.
We have all the TV stations.
Waiting for us.
They need to know.
We need it on TV.
We need it in the paper.
What do you see happening in your country?
What is this thing
When we get off the plane.
Many practitioners.
All the TV stations.
There are still papers waiting for us.
They took pictures
Heard our story.
Everyone turned their heads.
Talk about what they experienced in China.
A girl's finger was broken.
The boy was badly beaten
They also talked.
We don't know.
China will keep us there.
We will not be imprisoned.
So this thing is very serious
What we do
We know it's very serious.
but sometimes
You must take serious measures.
Let people stand up and listen.
Listen to these people's stories.
When people are killed.
Some people say
My daughter was killed.
I was imprisoned for several years.
I don't know
Why didn't anyone respond?
What we have done
Everyone is watching us.

Will leave these slave jobs
They will say

Because it says to me
Is a very proud thing
Proud to help those people.
I hope they get something.
So when China doesn't.
Communism
Just a normal government.
Farandav will become legal.
Everyone will be allowed to practice.
I will return to China.
It's like
You waited a long time
Only then will this happen.
You can't explain
What is that one thing
Because that is
That's something that changes you.
really changed us.
I would feel
Frankly speaking
Now it's over.
The Chinese will stand up.
Tell the government
Enough is enough
Stop it and it won't happen again.
China has entered.
Every country in the world.
They put the wall.
opened everyone's eyes.
They didn't lift me.
Or many habitual eyes.
I will continue to stand up
Until it's over
Okay?
