Police from the "610 Office" brainwashing class in Qiaokou District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province brutally tortured Dafa practitioners with beatings and other corporal punishment. Many practitioners were injured from the beatings. Among them were Xu, who was over 70 years of age, Cai, who is now blind from the beatings. Zeng Xianmei; Dai Guizhen, Xiao Yongqi and other female practitioners almost passed out from being beaten, and practitioner Yan Kejian became unconscious from torture and was sent to a hospital for emergency treatment. We have heard that he is a vegetative state.

I am a retiree in Suining City, Sichuan Province. In June 2000, I went to visit my relatives. On the way there, I read Dafa books on the train. As the result I was arrested, sent to the Renlong Police Station and detained in a dark and filthy room with lots of mosquitoes. The next day I was transferred to the Pengxi Detention Center and illegally detained for 34 days. The vicious guards extorted 2,000 Yuan from my family before they released me. On November 23, 2000, my home was ransacked and I was kidnapped and again illegally detained, this time for 11 days. During this time a daily fee of 20 Yuan was extorted from me. After I returned home, late at night, groups of police would often come to harass me.

My experience promoting the Fa during the Chinese New Year:

My whole family sent forth righteous thought regarding the evil old forces that would affect truth clarification during the Chinese New Year. We also prepared large "gift packages" of truth clarification materials. On Chinese New Year's, two of my mother's colleagues came to visit us. We told these two the true situation of the persecution of Falun Gong. In the evening, more than 20 people from my father's family gathered together. At the end of the feast, we gave truth clarification packages to each of the individual families, and they gladly accepted them. During the 15-day New Year's holiday we attended many similar gatherings. As we clarified the truth face-to-face, many people changed their opinion about Dafa.

The cultivation path of my wife and I:

I went by myself to Tiananmen to safeguard the Fa on July 22, 1999. In late December 2000, my wife also went to Beijing to safeguard the Fa and was illegally detained for nearly two months. From then on, my family was under the watch of police and people from our work units.

On March 19, 2002, my wife left home to avoid further persecution. On June 6, the police arrested me. I thought I should write to the Inspection Bureau to expose their crime if they didn't release me. I was innocent and they had no reason to arrest me. On September 5, they suddenly notified me that I could go home from jail. My son said, "That's strange, I spent nearly 10,000 Yuan but couldn't get you out, and I thought you must be going to a labor camp for sure. We all thought so." I knew in my heart that only by being determined with righteous thoughts from Dafa and rejecting the evil's arrangements would the evil refrain from persecuting us.

After I had begun to practice Falun Dafa in 1996, countless supernatural phenomena made me firmly believe in Dafa. After July 20, 1999, I went to Beijing to assist Master to rectify the Fa on the New Year's Day of 2001. I felt very calm when I walked onto Tiananmen Square. When I stepped on the Jinshui Bridge, I took out a banner and shouted, "Restore Master's Reputation!" "Falun Dafa is good!" Several vicious police rushed toward me and yanked my hair as they beat and kicked me. I was sent to the Miyun County Detention Center. I held a hunger strike. I thought, "This is not the place for me to stay. I want to go out to study and rectify the Fa. Master, please help." On the eighth day of my hunger strike, I was released.

In September 2002, I went to Beijing to visit my relatives. Because there were many people on the bus, I could not buy a ticket even when I was about to get off [People can buy bus tickets anytime before they get off. Often, the bus is so crowded that people cannot move at all]. I asked a fellow passenger to buy a ticket for me and gave him the money. One person said, "Forget it! Why do you want to pay for the ticket?" I said, "I practice Falun Gong and Master told us to be good people." I heard a voice say, "She practices Falun Gong, arrest her...!" At the same time, another person said, "Falun Gong practitioners are truly different. They are good people! She is so brave, she dares to say she practices Falun Gong, even in Beijing." I felt sad for the person who said I should be arrested. It's only normal to buy a ticket on a bus. Why would a person who buys a ticket instead of the person who doesn't be arrested? I don't know where Jiang is leading the Chinese people.
