INTRODUCTION – WHEN A DREAM BECOMES A TRAGEDY
Every person lives with dreams. Some dreams are small and simple. Others are vast, carrying the stature of an entire nation, an entire era. Mr. Liu Siyuan, an intellectual and a high-ranking official, dedicated his life to building such a dream: a strong, civilized “Chinese Dream” respected by the world. He believed in the path he had chosen, in the system he faithfully served.
But what happens when that very castle of ideals collapses, when a father realizes that to build that great dream, the system demands an unbearable price: the very life of the only daughter he loves most? “THE RED VEIL” is not a political analysis book, but the painful account of an insider, a journey of awakening filled with blood and tears when the veil of lies is torn apart by an unimaginable family tragedy.
A PAINFUL JOURNEY OF AWAKENING
Once a professor of philosophy and a respected policy-maker, Mr. Liu Siyuan walked his career path with unwavering faith in the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party . Like many others within the system, he lived in an “information bubble,” where truth was controlled and directed, and where “sensitive” issues were hidden behind dazzling economic achievements . He once viewed religion and spiritual practices like Falun Gong as “superstition,” things of the past that hindered progress .
His awakening was not a single moment, but a slow and painful process of cracking. It began when An Ran, his outstanding daughter and only pride, was arrested simply for her faith in Falun Gong. At that time, he still tried to use his connections and remaining status to seek justice in vain. But then, the final shock, the most horrific truth, struck: An Ran was not just killed, but had become a victim of the crime of live organ harvesting. In that moment, all his illusions, all his beliefs in the system, completely shattered . The “dream” he had once pursued appeared as a tragic farce, painted with the blood of his own daughter.
LIFTING THE RED VEIL – CONFRONTING THE TRUTH AND REDISCOVERING FAITH
After the tragedy, Mr. Liu’s journey became not only that of a father seeking justice but also of a soul searching for truth. Through the patient and compassionate listening of journalist Sophia Bell, and later the participation of her colleague, Julian Lee, with his sharp political and philosophical analysis, Mr. Liu’s story gradually unfolds. For the first time in his life, he stepped out from behind the “red veil” of deceitful propaganda to look directly at the evil nature of a regime that had condoned, and even masterminded, crimes against humanity. He was shocked to realize that the persecution of Falun Gong was not just a policy mistake, but a systematic campaign of genocide, driven by the jealousy and irrational fear of a dictatorial leader.
And it was in the darkest, most desperate days, when the familiar world had turned its back on him, that he received help and selfless comfort from the very people he once looked down upon: Falun Gong practitioners. Through their perseverance, compassion, and extraordinary courage, and by reading the book “Zhuan Falun” himself, he found the answers to life’s great questions . He not only understood why his daughter had remained so steadfast in her faith, but he himself found a new path—the path of cultivation in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, a path that helped him overcome his grief and rediscover the meaning of being human.
CONCLUSION – A TESTAMENT TO CONSCIENCE
“THE RED VEIL” is a gut-wrenching testimony, a voice for millions of innocent victims suffering in silence. It starkly exposes a jarring contrast: on one side, dazzling material “achievements” like lush eucalyptus forests seen from afar, but underneath lies the desertification of morality, culture, and human rights; on the other, the resilient power of faith, the beauty of an unquenchable inner goodness.
This book does not only tell the tragedy of one family; it is a warning about the price a nation pays when it loses its conscience. Readers are invited to step into this story, not to judge, but to listen, to contemplate, and to light an incense for the souls who have fallen for the truth, and for the hope that the light of justice will ultimately penetrate even the darkest veils.
