(Minghui.org) After the persecution of Falun Dafa began on July 20, 1999, I decided to go to Beijing to speak up up for Dafa and clarify the truth. I reached Tiananmen Square and stood beside the monument. There were many tourists there, but I wondered if there was a better place where I could stand and speak.
Just then, a young police officer walked towards me and said, “Are you here to tell people about Falun Dafa?” I said, “Yes.” He pointed to the police car and said, “Go over there and speak.” When I reached the front of the police car, he helped me stand on a board, and many tourists crowded over.
Clarifying the Truth at Tiananmen Square
I looked at the crowd and smiled, “Hi everyone. I’m from the Dai ethnic minority in the southwestern border area. I want to tell everyone that Falun Dafa is not what the television broadcasts claim. Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa that teaches people to be good. Falun Dafa and Master have been maligned and I hope the government will treat Dafa fairly and clear Master’s name. Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance is good!” Everyone listened quietly, including the young officer.
I said, “Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I was diagnosed with eleven serious illnesses, including heart disease, hepatitis, colitis, gastroptosis, neurosis, and others. I went everywhere seeking treatment, to no avail. One day, a coworker told me there was a type of practice that may save my life, and she suggested I try it. That night, my husband brought me to the practice site in front of the city hall gate, where a large group of people were doing the exercises, accompanied by peaceful music. My husband helped me get out of the car and I stood on the side and imitated their movements. As I practiced, I felt happy. I had never felt so happy before. As I continued to practice, my body felt relaxed and energetic. The next day, I asked the assistant for a copy of the book Zhuan Falun, and I formally started practicing Falun Dafa. Within three months, all my illnesses disappeared and I was able to go to work.
“I follow Falun Dafa’s standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I treat my coworkers, neighbors, friends, and family with compassion and think of others first. When everyone was evaluated at work, my salary was raised by one level. A coworker told me her family was going through difficult times so she asked me to give up my level so she could get the raise. I agreed. She was grateful and said I was a very good person. I told her that this was what I should do, as our Master asked us to be good people. I asked her to thank my Master instead of me.
“One elderly female practitioner saw a stack of cash on the ground outside her appliance store that amounted to 10,000 yuan. She thought that since it was bundled so tidily, the money must have been accidentally dropped by someone who had just withdrawn it from the bank which was near her store. Since she is a Dafa practitioner, she wanted to find the person the money belonged to. She went to the bank manager, explained the situation, and asked him to find the owner. He checked the surveillance camera record and found the owner. The owner was very thankful, and wanted to give her money to show his appreciation. She politely refused and explained that she practiced Falun Dafa, and any practitioner would have done that.
“A young worker was diagnosed with uremia, and searched everywhere but could not find a cure. His family brought him to the practice site to watch Master’s video lectures. Nine days later, his condition improved. He was able to urinate normally and when he went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor said he was fine. He was very excited. He read the Fa, did the exercises, and cultivated his xinxing every day. Before getting ill, he used to be a troublemaker who fought with others, gambled, drank, beat his wife, and scolded his daughter. No one dared to stand up to him. Within a few months after he began practicing Falun Dafa, he got rid of all his bad habits, lived harmoniously with his family and neighbors, and no longer fought with others. The neighbors said they didn’t think he could change. Falun Dafa is very powerful.”
The crowd began whispering, and I said, “There are 100 million people in our country who practice Falun Dafa and they are becoming good people. Falun Dafa is truly beneficial and does not harm people or our country. It teaches people to be kind and good. How can the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ban it? The government has made a mistake, so I came to Beijing to clarify the truth to everyone. I hope that the CCP stops persecuting Falun Dafa and clears Master’s and Falun Dafa’s names. I hope that everyone can understand the truth, differentiate between right and wrong, remember that Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, and have a wonderful future.”
Arrested and Persecuted
Just as I finished saying that, another police officer ran over with an electric baton in his hand. He shouted, “If you don’t shut up, I’ll beat you!” He forcibly pushed me into the police car. The young officer looked at me with a helpless but respectful expression. I thought that perhaps someone in his family practiced. At least he understood the truth. I sent him my best wishes in my heart and hoped he would have a safe and peaceful life, because he was a good person.
Three practitioners were in the police car. A young male practitioner said, “I came from Changchun.”
He pulled a piece of paper from his clothes and showed it to us. It was the photo of Master quietly watching the world from the mountains. The four of us put our palms together, and said, “Master!” Tears flowed down my cheeks. Seeing benevolent Master’s portrait encouraged me. It felt as though everything was empty at that moment. I did not hear the noise in the square. There was only a wonderful feeling of tranquility in my heart. The scene of the four of us putting our palms together and paying our respect to Master is deeply etched in my memory. When I was incarcerated at a forced labor camp, my tears flowed whenever I recalled that moment. In my heart I had the thought, “Master, I will follow you forever.”
I was transferred to the local liaison office in Beijing where the judicial committee captain pushed me into a room. He held my head with both hands and repeatedly slammed it into the wall. When his hands got tired, he kicked me. He also kept cursing. I had no complaint or hatred. I just pitied him, thinking, “You’re committing a criminal act like this to Dafa. What will happen to you in the future?” He beat me from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., and stopped twice when he got tired. I did not feel tired, nor did my body feel any pain. I knew that Master endured the suffering and protected me.
The next day, they brought me back to my local area to be detained. My workplace leader brought my daughter to see me. A police officer in charge of the department pulled my hair as he beat, cursed, and kicked me, and exclaimed, “See if you will still go to Beijing and submit a petition!”
I replied, “Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa. Master is innocent. If the persecution continues, I’ll submit a petition.” He grabbed me and dragged me around the hall. Pulling me up by my hair he turned me so I faced my daughter and said, “You are stubborn and refuse to change. Take a good look at your daughter, she is already full of tears. You do not have a conscience!”
I said calmly to my daughter, who was covering her face as she cried, “Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa. Master is innocent. Mom isn’t doing anything wrong by practicing Falun Dafa and being a good person. Remember that Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My daughter kept crying until she could not speak. I knew that she understood the truth. Before going to Beijing to submit my petition I took my Dafa books to a relative’s house. When my daughter found out about it, she told me, “You feel at ease with others. Why don’t you feel at ease with me? You can bring all the books back and let me take care of them for you.”
I was later sentenced to forced labor for three years and five months. When I returned home she gave me the Dafa books and Master’s portrait. She said her mother-in-law repeatedly pressured her to throw the books away, but she refused.
Police Chief Apologizes and His Family Quits the CCP
After I returned home from the forced labor camp I increased the length of time I read the Fa and practiced the exercises. I paid attention to my xinxing and distributed truth-clarifying materials to assist Master in saving people. One day, I saw the police officer who had pulled my hair. I smiled and said, “Please read this booklet and understand the truth about the persecution. Remember, Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Saying these words sincerely can help you avert disaster.”
He lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry I treated you that way. I was so fierce to you but you treat me so kindly.” I replied, “I never hated you. You did that because you were pressured by the CCP.” I told him that millions of Chinese people had quit the CCP so they wouldn’t be implicated for its crimes.
He said, “I want to quit the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. Please help my son and his mother quit.” I told him they have to choose to quit themselves. He made two phone calls and the both of them agreed to quit. He said, “Thank you.” I told him that it is Dafa’s Master who asked me to save him and his family. He put his palms together and said, “Thank you, Dafa Master.”
I met the director of the security department of my workplace, and said, “Reciting Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good sincerely can help you obtain safety and peace.” I told him about the Tiananmen self-immolation hoax, and that millions of Chinese had already quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He listened seriously, lowered his head, and said, “You’ve been subjected to forced labor for three years because I sent you to the police department. I harmed you and your family. My granddaughter attended your daughter’s tutorial class, but your daughter did not collect a single cent from us. You are too kind. I’ll quit the CCP. My family will quit too.”
I told him, “I talked to your granddaughter, son, daughter-in-law, and your wife, and they already agreed to quit.” He said, “Thank you. Thank you, Falun Dafa’s Master.”
In the more than twenty years I’ve practiced I still haven’t attained the benevolence that can disintegrate interference. I must strengthen my Fa study and cultivate my xinxing, to become a compassionate and truly selfless person who does everything for the sake of others, so I can follow Master home.
