(Minghui.org) When I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) in October 2000, I was illegally arrested and sent to a labor camp. The first thing I was ordered to do in the camp was to fill out a form. It asked, “What is Falun Gong?” I wrote, “An exploration of unknown science.” “Who is Li Hongzhi?” I wrote, “The most omnipotent being who teaches the highest science. History will testify that Master Li Hongzhi will surely be renowned for thousands of years!”
This caused a stir throughout the entire labor camp. They thought I was audacious, because I didn’t slander Dafa or Master. Many people pressured me to rectify my attitude and re-evaluate my understanding. I said, “My assertion that Falun Dafa is good is based on my personal experience and feelings. Your claim that Falun Dafa is bad is based on what you’ve heard from authorities with ulterior motives. In every political movement launched by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), innocent people are always targeted to be persecuted. What I’ve said is all true. The persecution has begun. The storm is coming. I’ve mentally prepared myself!”
The result was unexpected. Nothing happened. They were polite to me, but forbid other practitioners from talking to me. When they went out to do labor, they left me alone in the cell. I could eat, drink, and use the restroom with restriction. The only drawback was that no practitioners were able to talk to me. However, they always found ways to give me a thumbs-up when no one was watching.
The second time I went to appeal, I was apprehended in Beijing and brought back by my son (who is a police officer), along with the head of our district company and my young apprentice. They took me to a brainwashing center. There was one Dafa practitioner per room, and all the rest were collaborators. They rotated shifts to monitor me and wouldn’t let me rest. They incessantly called out, “Transform her!” My ears were practically ringing from their verbal abuse.
Coincidentally, this brainwashing center was very close to where my son worked (also part of the police system). He came to visit, bringing lots of food, which he laid out from the door to the windowsill, in boxes and baskets. This angered the head of the brainwashing center. The old woman stormed into the room with her hands behind her back and said, “Is this a nursing home? Who is Falun?” (Dafa disciples were collectively called Falun).
I answered, “I am!” The woman pointed her finger at my nose and said, “Aren’t you just relying on your little police officer son? Tomorrow, I’ll get him laid off!”
Before I could speak, my husband, who had also been brought in to put pressure on me, suddenly stood up, pointed his finger at the woman, and said, “If you dare to get my son laid off, I will lead our whole family to learn Falun Gong! Don’t believe me? Just try it!” The woman’s eyes widened with rage. She left without saying a word. She ended up fining me 3,000 yuan. I had no money, but my son’s supervisors and colleagues quickly pooled enough funds together to pay it.
My husband was a senior engineer at a large military factory and also the deputy chief of a popular sculpture park. He was fortunate enough to read Zhuan Falun once and had a very good impression of Dafa and Master. He never opposed me doing the three things and even helped me on occasion.
A large group of officials came to our house. They were all district leaders in charge of persecuting Falun Gong. They deliberately tried to provoke me. My husband was also there, observing calmly. When he saw that I couldn’t handle it anymore, he stood up and started arguing with them: “You’re trying to trick her into saying extreme things so you can arrest her! This is absolutely not allowed! I will not let you do that!” Seeing that they had been exposed, they fell silent and eventually made excuses to leave.
My Husband Is Blessed
My husband was hit by a car when he was out walking one day. He was thrown into the air and shattered the car’s windshield. The onlookers thought he was surely dead. My son arrived on the scene and took him to three hospitals. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him. It was truly miraculous! Even the doctors exclaimed that my husband was healthier than a lot of young people. He was over 80, but he didn’t even have a scratch.
I rushed over when I received the news. They were all in a restaurant. I had a premonition that he would be fine, but I never imagined my husband would be sitting there enjoying a meal as if nothing happened. I knew he had been blessed. I told the driver not to worry, as we would absolutely not extort money from him. My sons also knew that divine beings were protecting their father. If not, the consequences would have been disastrous.
