Yang Qin, a former Falun Gong follower, plays table tennis with one of her students of Tongxin Primary School in Daxing Township, south China's Chongqing municipality, Saturday, February 17, 2001.

21-year-old Yang broke away from Falun gong cult half a year ago. She felt very angry upon hearing the news that a few Falun Gong followers committed self-immolation on Tian'an Men Square last month and felt sad for those who are still obsessed about the cult. Yang feels happy for her decision to discard the evil cult which had nearly ruined her.
