I am a Dafa disciple living in Liaoning Province. I began practicing Falun Dafa in May 1997. I have benefited both physically and spiritually from the practice, however, in July 1999, Jiang's political regime began to brutally persecute Falun Dafa, despite its profound and precious nature.
In early 2000, because Dafa had been defamed I went to Beijing to appeal for the restoration of Dafa's good name. However, after arriving in Beijing, I learned that the appeals office had actually turned into a police station. There were policemen, plainclothes policemen and police vehicles everywhere. With no other choice, I went to Tiananmen Square, where I unfolded a banner that said, "Falun Dafa is good." Policemen immediately kidnapped me, taking me to a police station near Tiananmen Square, where more than 10 kidnapped Dafa practitioners from different places were already being held. The vicious police forced us to stretch one arm back over our shoulders and the other back around the waist. They cuffed our hands behind our backs in this way for up to two or three hours. Due to suffering such intense pain from this, some of us fell onto the floor, drenched with sweat. The police were even more brutal to those who silently endured the pain. They held us by the handcuffs behind our backs, and began to to swing our arms in circles. I said, "Falun Dafa is the most righteous Fa that teaches a person how to cultivate and become a better person." Then the police beat my mouth, however I did not give in, so they kept on beating me. When tired, they grabbed me by the collar and harshly threw me onto the ground. The back of my head hit the ground. I was unable to move. Still seven or eight of them surrounded and kicked me. I was almost unconscious, but I was clear about one thing -- I had not died. I yelled in my heart, "Falun Dafa is good." Observing that I was losing consciousness, the vicious policemen dragged me to a corner in the room. After regaining consciousness, I kept saying, "Falun Dafa is good," nonstop. Finally, one policeman said, "I beg you, please stop repeating that."
After the Liaoning Province local police brought me back, they illegally detained me for over a month before letting me return home. They also extorted money from my family. In October 2001, the police tricked me into the Qianjin Police Station, where they asked me to write a "letter of guarantee" to give up the practice. I refused. Because they detained me in the detention center again and again, I realized I should no longer tolerate this persecution of me. Thus I appealed with a hunger strike. The vicious people force-fed me with salt water and cursed at me using dirty words, but I did not yield. In the end, I left the detention center with righteous thoughts.
The above is some of the experiences I have had during my journey of Fa-rectification. I wrote it down to expose the evil and assist Teacher in rectifying the Fa.
