Dislodged 流離失所

Countless many of China’s Falun Gong practitioners, such as the young woman depicted here, have been rendered homeless and destitute as a result of relentless persecution by China’s communist regime. Held closely is the main book of Falun Gong’s teachings, Zhuan Falun, suggesting both its place in a practitioner’s heart and the holding fast to principle; for refusing to recant their beliefs, many in China face torture.  Since 1999, millions of Falun Gong practitioners have thus been put at risk. The angelic presence here suggests a sense of higher support and meaning in the woman’s life.

許多中國的法輪功學員為了避免被迫害和連累家人，不得不放棄穩定的工作和舒適的生活，離家出走。他們經常居無定所飢寒交迫，甚至一無所有，唯一不能放棄的是修煉。畫中的女孩暫時安身於茅屋中，由於身體疲憊而睡著了，但是手中還是緊緊抓著指導修煉的《轉法輪》。睡夢中天使來到她身邊，演奏美好的仙樂給予鼓勵。
