B.23 A Falun Dafa Practitioner Went to Beijing to Appeal by Wheelchair
Before starting practicing Falun Dafa, a practitioner's two legs had been crushed in an unfortunate accident. Fortunately, he attained Falun Dafa later and was able to improve his health. Under the current harsh situation in China, however, he became afraid and turned in his books at the demand of the authorities. Then, his old illnesses all came back. This made him realize that he should not have betrayed his belief and the teacher. Therefore, he decided to go to Beijing to appeal as a practitioner. He came to Beijing by himself by rolling a wheelchair. After 7 days, he finally arrived in Beijing. However, no hotel dared to accommodate him because he claimed openly that he came to appeal for Falun Dafa. As a result, he had to stay outside for a whole night in the bone-piercing wind.
The next day, he came to the Appealing Office. The police officer who was responsible for arresting practitioners in front of the Appealing Office held up his thumb in appreciation and told him, "You will be remembered when Falun Gong is rehabilitated in the future!"
