O que é: Desde 1999, a repressão estatal chinesa passou a fazer parte incontornável da identidade histórica do movimento.

Como a tradição entende: O sofrimento é visto não apenas como fato político, mas também como prova de perseverança, retidão e compromisso com a verdade.

Base textual e contexto: A literatura e a ação pública do movimento em diáspora frequentemente articulam cultivo e denúncia de perseguição.

Debates e variações: Esse tema é altamente politizado e exige distinguir entre autocompreensão religiosa, documentação de direitos humanos e narrativas estatais hostis.
