(Minghui.org) I had the good fortune to discover Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) in 1997. I began this wonderful self-cultivation practice at that time, and have continued on my path to today, at age 75. Prior to that, I was a “walking medicine cabinet” because I was afflicted with many illnesses. After I started practicing Falun Dafa, my health significantly improved. All my illnesses disappeared, and I became energetic and younger looking. For more than 20 years now, I have had no need to take a single pill. I am a testimony to the wonderful and supernatural powers of Falun Dafa, and am extremely grateful.

Shortly after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started the persecution of Falun Dafa in July 1999, someone knocked on my door at 8 a.m., claiming to be from the neighborhood committee. My daughter-in-law opened the door, and two men and a woman entered. There were no identifiable indications on their clothing as to who they were.

Seeing me carrying a box of books toward the kitchen, they stepped in front of me and said, “Stop trying to hide anything,” and tried three times to snatch the box from me, but I didn’t let them.

I warned them sternly, “What you’re doing is against the law.”

One of them verified my name and then showed me a picture on his cell phone, asking, “Is this you?”

In the picture was a woman wearing a pink hat, a mask, a blue dress, and black shoes, and her face was not clear. I calmly replied, “I don’t have a dress like that. By taking pictures without permission, you have violated the law.”

They let themselves into my bedroom to search for the blue dress and pink hat. I told them, “Stop! You’re violating the law. Do you have a search warrant?”

They claimed that they did, but did not produce it. They also did not find what they were looking for, and asked me, “You’ve been in the detention center and labor camp. What were you in there for?”

I replied, “For my faith, despite the fact that practicing Falun Dafa is lawful. Articles 36 and 41 of the Constitution stipulate freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and personal freedom. These are the three fundamental freedoms of every person.”

They did not respond, so I continued, “Falun Gong has spread to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. Aren’t Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan part of our country? Falun Gong is practiced there openly and has received more than 5,000 proclamations abroad, and Zhuan Falun has been translated into 50 different languages.

“Shen Yun Performing Arts has been touring around the world, and you all know that Falun Dafa is a practice that is beneficial to everyone. Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are righteous, and Falun Dafa practitioners are good people. Jiang Zemin launched this political campaign out of jealousy, which will one day come to an end, and you may be held responsible for your actions.

“Please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and avoid becoming scapegoats for the CCP during this persecution.”

One of them said, “I will remember these words.” Another one said that I had to go with them.

I replied, “No, I won’t go. My practice is lawful.”

“Come with us so you can tell us more.” I figured they wanted to learn more about Dafa, so I agreed.

In the car, I repeatedly recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They did not say anything.

They went back to my home and confiscated a copy of Zhuan Falun, Hong Yin Volume II, a hand-copied Zhuan Falun, several of Master’s articles, two MP3 audio players, my poems, my purse, and two hats.

Upon arriving at the police station, they told me to sit in an iron chair. I said, “I’m not a criminal,” and sat on a couch instead. They began videorecording me, taking notes, and fabricating things on a computer.

I recited Hong Yin and On Dafa, sent forth righteous thoughts every hour, and constantly repeated “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

They asked me three questions. The first question was, “What do you think about the government banning Falun Gong?”

I replied, “Wrong. Very wrong. Extremely wrong. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are universal values that everyone needs. If everyone followed Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, society would be stable and morality would improve.” They asked me the same question again, and I gave them the same answer.

Their second question was, “What is Falun Gong’s fundamental principle?”

I replied, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.”

Their third question was, “Will you continue to talk to others about it after you leave here?”

I replied, “For my family and friends, or anyone in poor health, I always tell them to remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ because we live for the good of others.”

They asked for my cell phone number, and I told them I did not remember it. They asked for the names of my son and daughter-in-law, and I was quiet. They told me to sign their document, and I refused, saying, “I can’t. Otherwise, it would be evidence of you persecuting a Dafa practitioner.”

One of them said, “We’re not afraid.”

I replied, “But I cannot put you in that situation.” The police officer signed it for me without my consent. I said, “No one can sign anything for me. I declare everything that you’ve made up to be void.”

They held a stack of papers in front of my daughter and asked her to sign, saying, “Your mother won’t be allowed to go home today.” My daughter refused to sign.

I told my daughter, “You’re doing the right thing. I was worried that you would sign them.”

When the male police officer left the room, the female officer stayed behind to watch me. I asked her, “Are you a CCP member?”

She replied, “No. But I was a member of the Youth League and Young Pioneers.”

I told her, “Then please quit them in your heart. Being safe and well is a blessing.” She agreed to quit. I continued, “If you’re ever in need, recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’.” At this time, I realized that they had asked me to come here because I was supposed to help Master save this woman.

I knew that more than 30 practitioners in our area were currently being persecuted. Some had been released, while others had not.

I asked Master in my heart, “Master, please help me dissolve this tribulation. I need to go home today. I have a lot to do!”

I looked inward and found many attachments, including attachments to sentimentality, ease and comfort, jealousy, suspicion, competitiveness, lust and desire, showing off, craving for food, looking for praise, and so on. I was shocked to find so many attachments and human thoughts. I told myself that I didn’t want any of them, and asked for help in completely removing them all.

Under Master’s protection, by 8 p.m., my daughter had brought me home safely.

As a practitioner, I must hold myself to a high standard and not slack off. I will diligently study the Fa, cultivate myself well, do the three things, and help Master save more people.
