(Clearwisdom.net) During the winter of 2005, police discovered our printing site for Falun Dafa material and I was arrested. They took me to the local detention center. The county security director said, "We will release you as soon as you tell us who else in the county are involved and how you get in contact with your leader." I just remained silent. They turned inpatient: "There are so many Falun Gong fliers and disks to be found throughout this county. You are in charge of the site. How come you don't know?" I said calmly, "I wouldn't tell you, even if I knew." They threatened me, "We will never release you if you don't tell us." At that time I thought I was upholding justice and said, "I won't tell, even if you never release me." Then I was illegally detained for four months, beyond the legal limit.
Later, I realized that I was wrong in terms of the Fa. I should not be detained, no matter if I told them or not. What I am doing is the most righteous thing in the world. I went on a hunger strike. Thirty days later I was released. The police did not try to get me to write a "guarantee statement".
It was an earthshaking battle in other dimensions. After I was arrested, all practitioners living in my county sent forth righteous thoughts intensively. A practitioner whose Celestial Eye was open saw in another dimension that Zeng Qinghong and tens of thousands of evil monsters surrounded the detention center. But they were unable to enter the cell I was in, because golden light illuminated the cell.
The local police produced fake "evidence" three times to try to sentence me to four years in prison. The higher officials did not agree. My brother-in-law worked in the county security and he tried to help me. In fact, it was a result of righteous thoughts from practitioners throughout my and nearby counties. Some practitioners traveled dozens of miles and sent forth righteous thoughts outside the police station. A lot of evil beings in other dimensions were destroyed.
Logically, they should have released me when I went on an eight-day hunger strike the first time, but I did not understand the issue from the Fa. Another reason was that there were people I needed to save, given their strong predestined relationship with me.
In the cell was a lady who was arrested for selling counterfeit money. She was in her 50s and suffered from a number of illnesses, including neurasthenia. Every night when she tried to sleep she saw two obese children lying next to her.
One day I clarified the truth to her. She understood what Falun Dafa was all about and she learned all five of the exercises from me. Every day I did the exercises once, but she did them twice. Whenever she saw me send righteous thoughts, she would stop eating and sit beside me with her palm upright. One week after she learned Falun Dafa, she suddenly hugged me excitedly, "Thank you so much!" Then she saluted Teacher by pressing her hands together, "Thank you, Teacher! Thank you, Dafa!" I asked her what happened. She explained what she had experienced during the past 20 years in front of all thirteen people.
She said, "I just had a dream. Those two dead children got up and said, 'We won't follow you anymore. The gong you are practicing is so powerful. We won't bother you anymore.' I then felt so relieved. All the illnesses that plagued me for more than 20 years are gone. I finally feel what it is like not to be ill. Falun Dafa saved me and I will continue to practice it after I'm released. I did not come here for nothing. It must be predestination. Before I was arrested I had heard about Falun Gong, but I always avoided it since the government said it was bad. Maybe Teacher saw I had no chance to obtain the Fa outside and he arranged for me to be here. I am so fortunate!" She had tears in her eyes when she said this. For a case like hers, one usually would get a three to five-year sentence. But "strangely," she was released on bond within a month after learning Dafa. This was truly her destiny, and she now will live a happy life for eternity!
A 68-year-old lady was arrested for petitioning, and they convicted her for the "crime" of "disturbing social order." She was brought in from a nearby county and learned Falun Dafa from me. She also learned to recite several poems in Hong Yin and recited them all the time. She was very grateful for the miracles Teacher showed to her. Her gray hair turned black, and even the (female) guard was surprised. The lady smiled and pointed to me, saying, "This is a result of learning Falun Gong from her. It is really good. You should learn it, too." The guard called me into her office and said, "If you can convince me, I will learn Falun Gong, too." That evening I talked to her for more than two hours and told her the truth about Falun Dafa. Finally she said, "I am very happy to talk to you. What you have said really touched me. To tell you the truth, you won't get sentenced. The higher officials returned your case yesterday. After you are released, please get me a Falun Gong book. You have convinced me."
Probably the guard told other police officers secretly. Several days later, the director called me to his office and said, "I've heard that Falun Gong is extraordinary. Let me ask you something in private. I have suffered from diabetes for many years. Do you think Falun Gong can treat my illness?" Looking into his helpless eyes, I told him solemnly, "Your illness would be nothing. But Falun Dafa is not for treating illness. Now, it is your predestination. If you want to cultivate, Teacher will cleanse your body and you won't have any illness." After I was released I sent a Dafa book and disks to his home. His son was dating a girl whose mother is a practitioner. Afterwards, he no longer persecuted practitioners. Instead, he tried to help them.
By the time I was released, twelve out of thirteen people in my cell had learned all five exercises and could recite many poems from Hong Yin. I am so touched by Teacher's mercy. Dafa is extraordinary, and it finds ways to help predestined people.
In the past few years, I have been detained in prisons, forced labor camps, detention centers, and police stations. The persecution should not have happened, but it did. We can still use this circumstance to do what we should do. When you do well and raise your xinxing, you will be free. It is very important that we look inward and keep righteous thoughts and righteous actions. Teacher told us, "When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide." ("The Master-Disciple Bond" in Hong Yin) We should not be concerned about how many years they may sentence us. What they say is nothing. We are the ones who are in charge. I have never served a full "sentence." I was always released after several months. Teacher is controlling everything. Many righteous gods are looking after us, and also looking at sentient beings.
