B.42 The Cruel Conduct of the Tiananmen Policemen Prompts Tourist to Become Falun Dafa Practitioner
Mr. Huang is a young Chinese-American. He grew up in Taiwan and is currently living and working in the United States. In June of this year, he accompanied his father on a visit to China. One of the places they toured was Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
Just as he was queuing up, waiting to tour the Tiananmen Gate Tower, he was told that local and foreign tourists had to stand in separate lines. A policeman then questioned two ladies standing beside him, "Are you Falun Gong practitioners?" Although the replies were, "No, we are tourists," they were taken into a small room nearby. He was astounded and couldn't help but feel how unfair the police were acting, "They already said no, why are they still being taken away?" At that moment, he also witnessed the policemen brutally attacking defenseless and innocent civilians. He wondered, "Why are the police beating up people in broad daylight?" He heard some people gossiping that the police were beating Falun Gong practitioners.
Out of a sense of justice, he quickly raised his camera and took two pictures of this brutal scene. Almost instantly, a policeman dashed toward him like a madman, forcing him to board a police vehicle. He asked why three times, but the policeman didn't reply and kept forcing him into the police vehicle. It is the policeman who committed a crime by beating innocent people without a proper reason, not him. Why should he have to be taken away? One does not see this happening in Taiwan and the US. He wondered why the law enforcers are acting so barbaric here. Not wanting to cause his father any trouble, he gave the police the film from his camera, and the film were immediately torn to pieces. His desire for further sightseeing was completely ruined.
On his way back, many questions about Falun Gong arose in him, "What is Falun Gong? I have never heard of it before in the past, why is the Chinese government treating these people like that?"
On the 2nd day after his return to the US, he visited his good friend to give her presents that he brought from China. When they started talking about the events happening at Tiananmen, his good friend revealed that she is also a Falun Gong practitioner. She told him how Falun Gong has spread to more than 40 countries around the world in the last few years, what has happened since Jiang Zemin gave orders to persecute Falun Gong practitioners last July, and how Jiang has used the evil means to achieve his goals. He anxiously borrowed the book Zhuan Falun and read almost non-stop until he finished. He regretted not being able to start learning Falun Gong earlier. He wanted to learn more about Falun Gong, so he downloaded more Falun Gong materials from the Internet.
In this materialistic world, nothing is for free. Upon learning that all Falun Gong activities are free-of-charge, he was sincerely touched. Falun Gong must be something supernormal and special. Therefore, with firm conviction he decided to become a Falun Gong practitioner. He said that the trip to Beijing gave him this rare opportunity. Otherwise, he would have missed the chance of being a Falun Gong practitioner. It is true that "Evil will never be able to suppress the righteous." The cruelty of the Tiananmen policemen prompted him to become a Falun Gong practitioner.
