The Epoch Times is proud to republish “An Unprecedented Evil Persecution: a Genocide Against Goodness in Humankind” (eds. Dr. Torsten Trey and Theresa Chu. 2016. Clear Insight Publishing). The book helps with the understanding of forced organ harvesting in China by explaining the root cause behind this atrocity: the genocide committed by the Chinese regime against Falun Gong practitioners.
A “Harmonious society” is a society filled with happiness. Even the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) know that. To create a harmonious society thus becomes the common objective for policymakers. Then, what exactly is a harmonious society?

The Real Meaning of a Harmonious Society

The word for “harmony” in Chinese is written as “和諧.” The character “和” includes the character for food, “禾,” and the character for mouth, “口,” suggesting that there is food available for every mouth. The character “諧 includes the character for speech, “言,” and the character for all, “皆,” suggesting that everyone has freedom of speech. In order for everyone to have enough food, it is necessary to implement a “free economy, a private property economy or market economy.” In order for people to have freedom of speech, a “free democratic system” is the prerequisite.
