2007年春晚南京軍區(qū)前線文工團(tuán)表演的舞蹈《小城雨巷》，獲得觀眾一致好評(píng)。舞蹈中江南女子柔美的舞姿，飄雨季節(jié)江南美輪美奐的景色，使中國(guó)民族舞蹈給人們留下了非常深刻的印象。我國(guó)非常重視民族舞蹈事業(yè)的發(fā)展，經(jīng)常舉辦舞蹈大賽，選拔和培養(yǎng)舞蹈專業(yè)人才。自1985年以來，“桃李杯”舞蹈比賽已經(jīng)舉辦了八屆。中央電視臺(tái)舉辦的第4屆CCTV電視舞蹈大賽剛剛閉幕。第六屆中國(guó)舞蹈“荷花獎(jiǎng)”民族民間舞評(píng)獎(jiǎng)活動(dòng)已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)。中國(guó)舞蹈藝術(shù)的繁榮極大地豐富了人們的文化生活，推動(dòng)了社會(huì)主義精神文明建設(shè)。然而，近期不知從哪里冒出來一個(gè)“新唐人電視臺(tái)”，在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)等傳播媒體發(fā)布消息，稱他們要舉辦“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”，到處發(fā)邀請(qǐng)函，迷惑不少舞蹈愛好者。那么，這個(gè)美其名為“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”的舞蹈比賽，到底是怎么回事？
一、“新唐人電視臺(tái)”是啥貨色
“新唐人”三字，取自法輪功頭目李洪志的一首歪詩(shī)《憶長(zhǎng)安》，該詩(shī)寫道：“秦川山河變，長(zhǎng)安土下存。盛世天朝去，轉(zhuǎn)眼千百春。何處尋太宗，大法度唐人?！崩詈橹景凳咀约菏翘铺诶钍烂褶D(zhuǎn)世。該電視臺(tái)負(fù)責(zé)人稱，唐太宗李世民的“貞觀之治”使中華帝國(guó)進(jìn)入另一個(gè)輝煌的時(shí)代，將中國(guó)帶入空前的璀璨鼎盛，所以我們?nèi)∑錃v史象征意義，將電視臺(tái)命名為“新唐人”，期盼法輪功也能將華人文化推向另一波高峰。
通過“維基百科”查找，可以清晰地看到“新唐人電視臺(tái)”的背景：“新唐人電視臺(tái)自稱是由海外華人聯(lián)合創(chuàng)辦的獨(dú)立、非盈利華語電視臺(tái)，但電視臺(tái)的報(bào)道、節(jié)目取材與立場(chǎng)教偏向法輪功、海外民運(yùn)人士等受中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨打壓的人與團(tuán)體等，同時(shí)亦較關(guān)注中國(guó)的負(fù)面報(bào)道；另一方面，由于節(jié)目?jī)?nèi)有法輪功的主要內(nèi)容，如《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》為獨(dú)立一節(jié)目，此電視臺(tái)被認(rèn)為具有法輪功的背景”，“法輪功網(wǎng)站新生網(wǎng)也披露，新唐人電視臺(tái)是法輪功修煉者的媒體”。李洪志2007年4月7日在紐約回答弟子提問時(shí)，公開承認(rèn)大紀(jì)元時(shí)報(bào)、新唐人電視臺(tái)、希望之聲廣播電臺(tái)等是法輪功媒體，他煽動(dòng)法輪功習(xí)練者利用這些媒體“堂堂正正搞政治”。
就是這家電視臺(tái)，曾于2003年8月，采取欺騙手段采訪了旅美華裔著名電影演員陳沖，獲得她的家庭照，并借題發(fā)揮，大肆宣揚(yáng)邪教法輪功。2004年1月19日，陳沖就被“新唐人電視臺(tái)”欺騙和利用事致函美國(guó)《僑報(bào)》，指出：“我對(duì)法輪功沒有任何興趣，更談不上有深刻的了解。對(duì)于法輪功組織的做事方法從來就不認(rèn)同。這次由于不知道‘新唐人電視臺(tái)’和‘大紀(jì)元’跟法輪功的關(guān)系而受騙和被利用后，更引起我對(duì)“法輪功”的反感?！绿迫穗娨暸_(tái)’和‘大紀(jì)元’以欺騙的手段來為某一種政見或宗教做宣傳，在道德上是錯(cuò)誤的，在法律上是要承擔(dān)一切責(zé)任的。我在此澄清我不贊成或同情“法輪功”，并將對(duì)有關(guān)的人與組織采取法律措施”（http://losangeles.china-consulate.org/chn/topics/jpflg/t58783.htm）。
2006年12月5日，中國(guó)駐美國(guó)大使館曾通過網(wǎng)站向公眾發(fā)出警告，指出“‘新唐人電視臺(tái)’成立于2000年。它自稱為‘服務(wù)于全球華人’的‘獨(dú)立公眾媒體’，實(shí)則受‘法輪功’一手操縱，是其邪教和反華宣傳的喉舌。該臺(tái)除播出少量新聞和電視劇作為點(diǎn)綴和包裝之外，集中力量赤裸裸地宣傳“法輪功”邪教理論，為李洪志歌功頌德，散布謠言和攻擊中國(guó)政府?！?br>
二、“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”是咋回事
今年3月10日，法輪功媒體“新唐人電視臺(tái)”發(fā)出公告，聲稱他們5月下旬要在紐約舉辦一場(chǎng)以中國(guó)古典舞為比賽項(xiàng)目的“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”，并通過大紀(jì)元、明慧網(wǎng)等法輪功媒體大肆造勢(shì)。
從新唐人電視臺(tái)發(fā)布的《比賽章程》中可以得知，“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”由法輪功媒體新唐人電視臺(tái)主辦，大紀(jì)元時(shí)報(bào)、希望之聲廣播電臺(tái)協(xié)辦。大賽評(píng)委是法輪功直屬機(jī)構(gòu)那幫只知反共反華的職業(yè)法輪功人員，如該電視臺(tái)編導(dǎo)、法輪功紐約“飛天舞蹈學(xué)校神韻藝術(shù)團(tuán)”的演員，沒有一個(gè)知名的舞蹈家。
為吸引更多的人參與大賽，法輪功媒體濫發(fā)邀請(qǐng)函，廣設(shè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。他們?cè)趶V告中承諾，大賽分四個(gè)組，每組獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)7人，其中冠軍一萬美元，亞軍三千美元，季軍一千美元。凡通過初步審查的參賽者，他們統(tǒng)一安排食宿，解決相關(guān)費(fèi)用。
提起舉辦第一屆“新唐人全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”的目地，李洪志說：“邪黨不管怎么折騰，它是個(gè)流氓政府，它占據(jù)的只是中國(guó)那塊土地，它搞什么也只能是中國(guó)范圍的。新唐人這一搞那就是全球的，國(guó)際大賽，不管怎么樣是國(guó)際性的活動(dòng)，得獎(jiǎng)?wù)叩玫囊彩菄?guó)際比賽獎(jiǎng)。”

二、“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”是咋回事
今年3月10日，法輪功媒體“新唐人電視臺(tái)”發(fā)出公告，聲稱他們5月下旬要在紐約舉辦一場(chǎng)以中國(guó)古典舞為比賽項(xiàng)目的“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”，并通過大紀(jì)元、明慧網(wǎng)等法輪功媒體為大肆造勢(shì)。
從新唐人電視臺(tái)發(fā)布的《比賽章程》中可以得知，“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”由法輪功媒體新唐人電視臺(tái)主辦，大紀(jì)元時(shí)報(bào)、希望之聲廣播電臺(tái)協(xié)辦。大賽評(píng)委是法輪功直屬機(jī)構(gòu)那幫只知反共反華的職業(yè)法輪功人員，如該電視臺(tái)編導(dǎo)、法輪功紐約“飛天舞蹈學(xué)校神韻藝術(shù)團(tuán)”的演員，沒有一個(gè)知名的舞蹈家。
為吸引更多的人參與大賽，法輪功媒體濫發(fā)邀請(qǐng)函，廣設(shè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。他們?cè)趶V告中承諾，大賽分四個(gè)組，每組獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)7人，其中冠軍一萬美元，亞軍三千美元，季軍一千美元。凡通過初步審查的參賽者，他們統(tǒng)一安排食宿，解決相關(guān)費(fèi)用。

實(shí)際上，這場(chǎng)比賽是窮途末路的法輪功為了茍延殘喘，把自己裝扮成中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的代表人，打著弘揚(yáng)中華文化的幌子，以國(guó)際比賽為誘餌，來欺騙拉攏不明真相的舞蹈界人士。
他們的真正目的是反共反華。4月26日，中新網(wǎng)報(bào)道了中國(guó)反邪教協(xié)會(huì)致中國(guó)舞蹈家協(xié)會(huì)的函，呼吁中國(guó)舞蹈界人士及海內(nèi)外有志于學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)舞蹈的青少年看清“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”的實(shí)質(zhì)，不要被“法輪功”所欺騙。眼看畫皮即將被揭穿，惱羞成怒的法輪功組織4月27日向中國(guó)反邪教協(xié)會(huì)發(fā)出恐嚇：“希望中共及其各級(jí)反邪教協(xié)會(huì)的成員和與此案有關(guān)的其他人員，認(rèn)清中共即將崩潰的形勢(shì)、翻然悔悟、重新做人，不作中共的殉葬品”。法輪功媒體大紀(jì)元4月29日叫囂，“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽在全世界開展時(shí)，就揭開了中共的畫皮。人們進(jìn)行比較后自然就能認(rèn)清中共黨文化的本質(zhì)，如此則中共就不能用中華文化給其馬列邪教本質(zhì)作包裝了，也就無法繼續(xù)茍延殘喘下去?！敝链耍ㄝ喒Φ姆磩?dòng)本質(zhì)昭然若揭，其舉辦“舞蹈大賽”的真實(shí)目的也大白于天下。
三、“新唐人電視臺(tái)”能搞出什么樣的舞蹈大賽
中國(guó)古典舞作為我國(guó)舞蹈藝術(shù)中的一個(gè)類別，是在民族民間傳統(tǒng)舞蹈的基礎(chǔ)上，經(jīng)過歷代專業(yè)工作者提煉、整理、加工、創(chuàng)造，并經(jīng)過較長(zhǎng)時(shí)期藝術(shù)實(shí)踐的檢驗(yàn)流傳下來的具有一定典范意義的和古典風(fēng)格特色的舞蹈。古典舞創(chuàng)立于五十年代，曾一度被一些人稱作“戲曲舞蹈”。早在1954年，我國(guó)就建立了中國(guó)古典舞學(xué)科，現(xiàn)在北京舞蹈學(xué)院還設(shè)立有中國(guó)古典舞系。近年來，中國(guó)古典舞為傳播弘揚(yáng)中華民族舞蹈藝術(shù)做出了重大貢獻(xiàn)。
舉辦中國(guó)古典舞大賽不是什么壞事，國(guó)內(nèi)就經(jīng)常舉辦這方面的比賽。但是，作為行業(yè)比賽，起碼要具備以下條件：
一是參賽選手來源的廣泛性。自中國(guó)反邪教協(xié)會(huì)致函中國(guó)舞蹈家協(xié)會(huì)，澄清“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”的實(shí)質(zhì)后，相信中國(guó)大陸的舞蹈界人士，海內(nèi)外了解法輪功的青少年舞蹈愛好者決不會(huì)參賽。中國(guó)古典舞的根在中國(guó)，著名中國(guó)古典舞專家和演員也在中國(guó)。失去了群眾基礎(chǔ)，大賽也就成了無本之木，無源之水。
二是大賽組織者和評(píng)委的權(quán)威性。世界舞蹈界專業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)不少，其中比較有影響的有英國(guó)皇家標(biāo)準(zhǔn)舞教師協(xié)會(huì)、國(guó)際標(biāo)準(zhǔn)舞教師協(xié)會(huì)、國(guó)際舞蹈家聯(lián)會(huì)、美國(guó)舞蹈運(yùn)動(dòng)總會(huì)、國(guó)際舞蹈運(yùn)動(dòng)組織等。在評(píng)定中國(guó)舞蹈方面，最權(quán)威的要屬成立于1949年7月中國(guó)舞蹈家協(xié)會(huì)，該協(xié)會(huì)現(xiàn)有會(huì)員近5000人，有32個(gè)全國(guó)分會(huì)，下屬學(xué)會(huì)有民族民間舞蹈研究會(huì)、少數(shù)民族舞蹈學(xué)會(huì)、中國(guó)舞蹈史研究會(huì)等。研究中國(guó)古典舞的權(quán)威非北京舞蹈學(xué)院李正一和唐滿城兩位老教授莫屬。提起中國(guó)舞蹈家，以“雀之靈”蜚聲國(guó)內(nèi)外，創(chuàng)作并領(lǐng)銜主演大型原生態(tài)歌舞集《云南印象》(國(guó)際版名稱為《香格里拉》)的楊麗萍，應(yīng)該是舉世公認(rèn)的領(lǐng)銜人物?？墒沁@場(chǎng)“全世界中國(guó)舞舞蹈大賽”的組織者沒有一家是世界舞蹈界專業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)的，評(píng)委也沒有一個(gè)是中國(guó)古典舞專家。這樣的比賽，跟李洪志給參賽者發(fā)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)有什么區(qū)別？
三是公眾認(rèn)可度。“法輪功”是早在1999年7月就被中國(guó)政府取締的邪教組織，據(jù)不完全統(tǒng)計(jì)，在中國(guó)就有1000多名“法輪功”信徒因病拒絕就醫(yī)而死；數(shù)百名信徒自殺或自殘；30多人被“法輪功”信徒殺害。法輪功是嚴(yán)重危害社會(huì)、侵犯人權(quán)的邪教，是現(xiàn)代化文明社會(huì)的毒瘤。法輪教主李洪志宣稱人類已經(jīng)毀滅了81次，地球很快又要爆炸，只有他才能拯救人類；地球是宇宙最大的垃圾站，美國(guó)則是地球上最大的垃圾場(chǎng)，他甚至宣稱希特勒屠殺猶太人和南京大屠殺都是天象變化的結(jié)果。就是這個(gè)以吹牛為業(yè)，對(duì)舞蹈一竅不通李洪志，4月7日就曾對(duì)弟子大講特講中國(guó)古典舞，好像他是全球最了不起的舞蹈專家。搞藝術(shù)的人講究德藝雙馨，沒有藝德的組織和個(gè)人是沒有生命力的。法輪功是公認(rèn)的無賴團(tuán)體、邪教組織。試問，除了西方反華勢(shì)力和臺(tái)獨(dú)分子，還有誰支持法輪功。全球60億人中，有多少人認(rèn)可法輪功？拿了法輪功組織頒發(fā)的獎(jiǎng)牌，也就意味著你與法輪功有了瓜葛，這是跳進(jìn)黃河也洗不清的丑聞。呼吁海內(nèi)外舞蹈界人士，擦亮眼睛，千萬莫入法輪功的陷阱。
What kind of dance competition can 'New Tang Dynasty Television' hold?
In the Spring Festival Evening of 2007, the dance "rainy alley in a small town" performed by the Front Line Cultural Troupe of Nanjing Military Region was welcomed by the audiences. In the dance, the soft and beautiful dancing gestures of southern Chinese girls, the beautiful scene of southern China in the rainy season and the Chinese ethnical dances itself have left people a deep impression. Our country always pays attention to the development of ethnical dances and holds dance competitions from time to time so as to select and bring up professional dancers.Since 1985, the "Peach-Plum Cup" Dance Competition has been held for eight times. Just after the fourth CCTV Television Dance Competition has ended, the sixth "Water Lily Award" Ethnical and Folk Dance Competition has already started up. Chinese dances greatly enrich the cultural lives of people and promote the socialist spirit civilization construction. However, a "NTDTV" recently emerged, it declared by internet and other media that they would hold an "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition" and delivered invitations everywhere, which deluded a lot of dances fanciers. Then, what on earth the competition entitled "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition" is?
I. The exact details of "New Tang Dynasty Television Station".
The words "New Tang Dynasty" came from "Recalling Chang'an", the doggerel of Li Hongzhi, in which he wrote, "The country is not Tang Dynasty anymore, but the spirit of Chang'an still exists. Where can we find Tang Taizong? Dafa will release the souls of people of Tang Dynasty". Li Hongzhi implied that he was the reincarnation of Tang Taizong, Empeor Li Shimin. The head of of NTDTV claimed that the "Zhen Guan Governance" of Tang Emperor Li Shimin brought the China Empire at that time into a glorious time; therefore they named their television station as "New Tang Dynasty" by adopting the meaning of this historical symbol in hope that Falun Gong was able to bring the Chinese culture to another peak.
We can find the background of "NTDTV" through "Wikipedia": "NTDTV claims itself an independent, non-profit Chinese language television co-sponsored by oversea Chinese, but the reports, programs, and position of the television station lean to Falun Gong, oversea democratic activists and other organizations and people suppressed by CPC. It also focuses on negative reports about China; on the other hand, since its programs include Falun Gong contents - 'Nine Commentaries on CCP' is an independent program, this television station is considered of having Falun Gong background", "Renascence Net of Falun Gong also discloses that NTDTV is the media of Falun Gong practitioners". When answering the questions of followers in New York on April 7, 2007, Li Hongzhi admitted publicly that Epoch Times, NTDTV, Sound of Hope Radio are media of Falun Gong and he instigated Falun Gong practitioners to "get involved in politics righteously" by making use of these media.
It was this television station that interviewed Chen Chong, an American Chinese movie actress and obtained her family photo by deceiving manner in August 2003, and then made use of the interview to propagandize Falun Gong. On January 19, 2004, Chen Chong wrote a letter to American "The Chinese Press" on the issue of being cheated and utilized by "NTDTV", in which she pointed out, "I have no interest in Falun Gong and do not understand it at all. I never agree with the operation style of Falun Gong organizations. Since I do not know the relationship between 'NTDTV', 'Epoch Times' and Falun Gong this time, I am cheated and utilized by Falun Gong organizations. I revolt against it even more. Morally, it is a wrong behavior that 'NTDTV' and 'Epoch Times' propagandize for a political view or a religion by cheating people, and it should take the legal responsibility. Hereby I clarify that I do not agree with or sympathize 'Falun Gong' and I will take legal measures against related persons and organizations."
(http://losangeles.china-consulate.org/chn/topics/jpflg/t58783.htm)
On December 5, 2006, Chinese embassy in America released a warning to public through its website, in which the embassy pointed out, "'NTDTV' was set up in 2000. It calls itself an 'independent public media' which 'serves for Chinese people around the world', actually it is just the mouthpiece of the Cult and anti-Chinese propaganda, which is directly controlled by 'Falun Gong'. Except few news and teleplays, this television focuses its programs on the propaganda of heresies of 'Falun Gong'. And it publicly sings the praises of Li Hongzhi, spreads rumors and attacks Chinese government."
II. The exact details of "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition"
On March 10 this year, "NTDTV", the media of Falun Gong released an announcement, in which they claimed that they would hold an "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition" in New York in late May and the competing items would be Chinese classical dances. It also propagandized the competition through Falun Gong media such as Epoch Times and Ming Hui Net.
From the "constitution of the competition" released by NTDTV we can find that, the "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition" is held by NTDTV and co-held by Epoch Times and Sound of Hope Radio. The judges of the competition are professional Falun Gong practitioners, who come from the institutions directly under Falun Gong and know nothing but opposing Communism and China. All the directors of the television station and the actors of New York "Divine Performing Arts of Fei Tian Dance School" of Falun Gong are not famous.
In order to attract more participants, the media of Falun Gong sent out invitations to a lot of people and set up many awards. They promised in their advertisement that the competition would be divided into four groups and seven participants of each group would be awarded. The bonus for championship of each group would be 10 thousand US dollars, and runner-up would be 3 thousand, while the third place would be 1 thousand. And they would accommodate and provide related costs for the participants who could pass the initial examination.
When talking about the purpose of the first "NTDTV International Chinese Classical Dance Competition", Li Hongzhi said, "no matter what the evil Party does, it is a roguish government. It just occupies the limited territory of China and what it does is just limited to China. However, the competition of NTDTV will be a world and international competition. The awards of an international competition, no matter what kind of international activity it is, would be international awards."
Actually, this competition is just the way of hopeless Falun Gong to linger on. It wants to cheat dancers who don't know the truth by acting as the representative of Chinese traditional culture, holding the banner of promoting Chinese culture and alluring people with international competition.
The real purpose of them is to oppose Communism and China. On April 26, China News Net reported the letter of China Anti-Cult Association to Dancers' Association of China, in which it appealed Chinese dancers, domestic and foreign youths who were interested in learning Chinese dance to see clear the essence of "world Chinese dances competition" and not be cheated by "Falun Gong". When realizing that the shell game would be debunked soon, the irritated Falun Gong organization released the threat to China Anti-Cult Association in April 27, "we hope members of CPC and every level of anti cult association, and people related to the case to realize the situation that CPC will collapse soon, and do not choose to be buried with CPC." Epoch Time, the media of Falun Gong clamored on April 29, "the beginning of International Chinese Classical Dance Competition will expose the camouflage of CPC. People will know the essence of CPC's party culture naturally; therefore CPC can no longer decorate its essence of Marxism Leninism with Chinese culture and can no longer survive." Thus, the reactive nature of Falun Gong is clear and the real purpose of its "dance competition" is also known by the whole world.
III. What kinds of dance competition can "NTDTV" holds?
As a kind of dancing arts of China, Chinese classical dance was abstracted, neatened, improved and created by professional dances from one generation to another based on Chinese traditional ethnical and folk dances. After the artistic practices for many years, it has become a kind of dance with a certain model meaning and classical style. Classical dance was firstly founded in 1950s, which was once called by some people "operatic dance". As early as in 1954, Chinese classical dance subject was established in our country, and there is Chinese classical dance department in Beijing Dancing College. In recent years, Chinese classical dance has made great contributions for promoting and spreading Chinese ethnical dancing arts.
It is not wrong to hold the Chinese classical dance competition and such kind of competition are often held in China. However, as a professional competition, it should be provided with following qualifications:
The first is the universality of competition participants. After China Anti-Cult Association wrote letter to Dancers' Association of China and clarified the essence of the "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition", dancers of Mainland China, domestic and foreign young dancing favorites who knew about Falun Gong would not attend the competition. However, the root of Chinese classical dance is in China and famous experts and dancers of Chinese classical dance are also in China. Without the public parcitipation, the competition is just like a tree without roots and a river without source.
The second is the authority of competition organizers and judges. There are a lot of dancers associations in the world, among which NATD, IDTA, International Federation of Dancers, NDCA, WWDDSC and so on are associations with great influences. As to the judgment of Chinese dances, the most authoritative one is the Dancers' Association of China, which was established in July 1949. At present this association has nearly 5000 members and 32 sub associations, and its affiliated institutes include Academy of Ethnical and Fold Dances, Academy of Dances of Minorities, Academy of the History of Chinese Dances and so on. The most authoritative persons researching Chinese classical dance are Professor Li Zhengyi and Professor Tang Mancheng of Beijing Dancing College. As to the dancers of China, Yang Liping, who becomes famous because of "The Spirit of Peacock" and the producer and main actress of the large scale original song and dance collection "The Impression of Yunan Province" (the international title is "Shangri-La") shall be the leading dancer. However, the organizers of this "International Chinese Classical Dance Competition" include no international professional dancers' association and the judges include no experts of Chinese classical dances. This kind of competition has no difference from Nobel Prizes awarded by Li Hongzhi to participants.
The third is the recognizing degree of public. "Falun Gong" is a cult organization banned by the Chinese government in July 1999. According to incomplete statistic data, more than 1000 "Falun Gong" followers died because of denying medical treatment in China, hundreds of practitioners killed or crippled themselves and more than 30 people were killed by "Falun Gong" followers. "Falun Gong" is a cult which seriously endangers the society and violates human rights, and it is also a cancer of modern civilized society. Li Hongzhi, the hierarch of Falun Gong claimed that human beings had been destroyed for 81 times, the earth would explode soon and only he could save human beings; he also claimed that the earth was the biggest garbage station in the universe and the United States was the biggest dump in the earth. He even claimed the slaughter of Jews by Hilter and Nanjing slaughter were just the results of changes of celestial phenomena. It is also Li Hongzhi, who is good at boasting and knows nothing about dances talked about Chinese classical dances with his followers on April 7. It seems that he is the best expert on dances in the world. Artists always pay attention to moral character and artistic ability, organizations and persons without artistic moral will not last long. Falun Gong is a recognized roguish group and cult organization. May I ask who will support Falun Gong except western anti-Chinese forces and Taiwan Independence activists? How many people recognize Falun Gong out of the 6 billion population of the whole world? Once you take the awards issued by Falun Gong organizations, it means you are involved in Falun Gong, which would be a scandal you can not get rid of. We appeal domestic and foreign dancers to see clear and not be cheated by Falun Gong.
