I think what Damon just said is applicable to that as well. There are two problems. One is that families, of course, are afraid at a certain point to go any further in looking for a missing family member. The second point is that many Falun Gong practitioners simply remained nameless after a certain point because they were sick of their families losing their jobs, getting in trouble, and so forth. So when they were asked their name, they would just say Falun Gong practitioner. When they were asked where are you from, what province, they'd say the cosmos. Of these, the nameless ones, there were thousands, tens of thousands possibly. Out of interviewing over 100 people, 100 practitioners, I've only met one who made it out of China aliveāone.
