(Clearwisdom.net) When I was reported by a former Falun Gong practitioner who had given in to the police under pressure, I was arrested for the second time on November 26, 2001. However, I was able to escape with my righteous thoughts. For more than two years I have been listed by the police as a "wanted person." My pictures have been posted at railway and bus stations. I was forced to live a homeless life. Unable to endure the intense pressure of the persecution, my husband divorced me. My sister has been taking care of me.
After reading the article "Expose the Evil Happening Locally to the Local People," I realized that this is a really good method for suffocating the evil. When people first learn about the facts of the persecution in their area, they are more likely to be moved and develop a strong impression in their minds. Since the Rushan "610 Office" (1) and the Political and Judicial Committee are coordinators of the persecution, I would send forth righteous thoughts every day to eliminate the evils factors which were controlling those units. I would think that the Rushan "610 Office" should stop persecuting Dafa practitioners.
The first time I was sent to the brainwashing center, I got to know Tang Kebo, the head of the County's "610 Office" and also the deputy communist party secretary of the political and judicial committee. Tang told me that his parents live in Qingjiazhuang Village. On March 5, 2004, after discussing the matter with several fellow practitioners, I decided to visit Tang's parents. I bought some fruits and went to Qingjiazhuang. During my visit it was snowing heavily, and I was told that Tang's parents had moved to the county seat. However, I did get Tang's parents' phone number. I went to the roadside to wait for a bus. The snow became even heavier and it was very windy. I waited for half an hour and was soaked by the snow, but I did not let it bother me.
The bus took me directly to the county seat. I called Tang's parents, and they picked me up and brought me to their home. I greeted them and told them that I wanted to talk with Tang Kebo. At first, Tang's father told me that Tang Kebo had gone to south China. I was very disappointed to hear that and I asked them to persuade their son to stop participating in the persecution. I told them that "good is rewarded and evil is punished" is a heavenly law, and asked them to persuade their son to stop persecuting Falun Gong at Jiang Zemin's orders.
Tang's mother said, "I can tell that you are a good person, you can stay here for the night and leave tomorrow." Tang's father said, "The Party pays him, so he cannot listen to Falun Gong." I said, "It doesn't matter how much money one has. I hope that you can persuade your son not to harm any more people so that you can live with peace of mind." At that moment, Tang's father did not look happy. He went in and out of the room several times with some papers. I knew that he had gone out to make phone calls. When Tang's father went out, I handed his mother three video CDs and a booklet about Dafa. I said, "Please be sure to give these to Tang Kebo; maybe there is hope for him still." Tang's mother accepted them.
Not long after, Tang Kebo came in angrily with several people, and shouted at me, "Why have you come here, come with me!" I said quietly, "I came to look for you! I came in the heavy snow to pay a visit. Can we sit down and have a talk?"
Tang waved his hands, and the people who came with him left. He and I sat down on the sofa. When I had almost finished what I had to tell him, he stood up. He patted me on my shoulder and said, "You are really a good person. But even though you are a good person, I will still arrest you." Then at Tang's direction, four or five police officers grabbed me by the arms. Outside, I saw four police cars and about 18 police officers that had encircled the building. Many by-standers were also there. I shouted again and again: "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is righteous!"
In the presence of so many people, Tang ordered them to beat me. Eight to nine police officers started beating me. Some of them pulled my hair, some struck my back, and some kicked me while wearing boots. I shouted with all of my energy: "Falun Dafa is righteous!" At that moment, I felt that I was having trouble breathing. My heartbeat was heavy and fast, and I felt dizzy. They pushed me into a police car and detained me at the Shengli Street Police Station.
At the Shengli Street Police Station, there were about 20 police officers. One policeman shouted: "You should stand up straight!" I said, "Those who should stand up are you, not me, for you are committing crimes and arresting innocent people." I tried my best to clarify the truth of Dafa to them. One police officer in his 20s began to curse Dafa and scoffed at me for trying to change the mind of a "610 Office" communist party secretary. At that moment, the feeling of compassion filled my heart, and I said, "You be quiet. You are not allowed to curse Dafa. I have been arrested and beaten up today because I told the truth. You are just as young as my son, who is studying at the university. It's a pity that you have been poisoned by Jiang Zemin to the extent that you cannot tell right from wrong."
I told them how the Tiananmen immolation incident was staged by the Jiang regime to slander Falun Gong, and many other things. The righteous energy of Dafa suppressed them. They all listened quietly. When it became dark outside, they sent me to the detention center.
The second morning, Yang Gesong, the head of the police section wanted to interrogate me. They handcuffed me. I said, "I have been beaten up. I cannot walk and I will not go." At that moment, I remembered Teacher's words in the article "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts Are Powerful,"
"No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil's demands, orders, or what it instigates. If everyone does this the environment won't be this way." So I refused to go. Then two criminals came in and pulled me out. Meanwhile, I clarified the truth to them.
In the interrogation room, I sat down with handcuffs on. I said, "Do not interrogate me. Let me first tell you, you should be responsible for your future and your family, please do not follow Jiang Zemin. Leave a way out for yourself and your family members. You will be responsible for each electric shock, each kick, and each fist that strikes Dafa practitioners. You will not escape punishment for such crimes." Yang Gesong said in a low voice, "Have I beaten you?" I said, "No Dafa practitioners should be beaten."
They interrogated me for a while, but they could not find anything to hold against me. I was actually the one asking many questions, and they had nothing to refute my arguments.
This was the third time I had been detained at the Rushan Detention Center. I went on a 13-day hunger strike at the Longkou Detention Center, but I never felt as much pain as this time. I could not sleep at all during the night. I did not know where to put my arms and legs, and I had to turn over every five minutes. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and asked for Teacher's help. I thought, "I should not be staying here." No matter if I was in jail or in a police car, I kept on reciting the Fa-rectifying formulas, and thinking that wherever I go, my energy would go with me, and that the evil factors would be eliminated, and people would wake up.
The following day, I could not endure it anymore. The cell head reported my situation to the police officers. A jail doctor came to see me. I said that I was not ill. Doctor Zhou said, "Let me listen with a stethoscope." He listened to my heart beat and then said seriously, "Your heart has problems." I said, "I am not ill, if there is anything wrong, it's because the police beat me." He became even more scared. He called a car and sent me to the hospital. In the car, I fell unconscious.
I was sent to a hospital, where I was diagnosed as having a serious heart disease. At the hospital, I stayed in an observation room where patients came in and out frequently, which gave me good opportunities to clarify the truth to them. I was always handcuffed and shackled. Some times the handcuffs would be removed, but the shackles were always on. When I used the bathroom, two police officers would have to support me. The noise of the shackles caused patients to look at me with surprise. I told them while walking, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner, I am not a bad person. I practice 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.'"
Back at the ward, many people would come to look at me. Police officers would close the door hastily and then cover the shackles on my feet with a quilt. Police officers passing by would tell me, "I have not beaten you or cursed at you." I said, "I was beaten up by police officers led by Tang Kebo. Though you did not beat me, you will take responsibility if you have beaten up any other Dafa practitioners." I clarified the truth about Dafa to each police officer I saw. Patients came and went, and I talked about Falun Dafa to each of them.
On the fourth day, I was taken back to the detention center in the evening. In the early morning on the fifth day, they planned to send me to Wangcun, Zibo City. I kept on sending forth righteous thoughts and told Teacher, "I will not leave Rushan." Not long after leaving the detention center, Doctor Zhou listened to my heart. He was afraid that I would die on the trip and sent me back to the hospital. Meanwhile, two fellow practitioners were taken away by police officers.
I entered the Rushan People's Hospital for the second time. The doctor said I had a coronary disease. Whenever they gave me an injection, I would pull out the needle. I refused to take medicine or any food or drinks for five days. I sent forth righteous thoughts: the only option they had was to release me.
I slept for one more night in the hospital and told Teacher in my heart, "Teacher, It's time for me to go home." Fellow practitioners outside have sent forth righteous thoughts for me. My sister has gone to the Public Security Bureau frequently to ask for my release. She told the police officers, "There is nothing wrong with Falun Gong. After practicing Falun Gong, my elder sister became very healthy. If she saw rocks on the road, she would remove them so that others would not trip over them. You have beaten up my sister so brutally. If she dies, you will be held responsible."
On the morning of March 11, 2004, the police officers released me and told me, "Go home to practice!" During the past years, I was forced to leave home and had been afraid of being reported by someone. I was now able to come back home openly.
After being released, I stayed at my sister's home. The villagers were all very nice to me. The village's communist party secretary used to ask me to stop the practice of Falun Gong. He told me that I have a great reputation, and that he had hoped for me to become a party member and be the deputy secretary. I said, "I do not want to be an officer in Jiang's regime." The villagers came to visit me, and I clarified the truth about Dafa to all of them. They all shed tears. The village secretary said: "You are homeless. If you would like any house that belongs to the village, you can stay there. We will repair the house for you for free."
On March 21, 2004, in order to clarify the truth about Dafa and expose the crimes of Tang Kebo and other police officers to the local people, we put up posters along many streets and roads, focusing on the County Communist Party Committee, the First High School, the vicinity of Tang Kebo's home, and Tang's hometown of Qingjiazhuang. All the practitioners came back safely.
The truth clarification work shocked the police, who scrambled to find us. At 3 pm on March 27, 2004, police officers went to my mother's home to look for me. Since I was not there, they went to my sister's home. My sister's home was locked, and I was out clarifying the truth about Dafa. One neighbor pushed me into another person's home and closed the door. After a while, the village's party secretary told the police officers: "You have come to arrest a kind person. She is well known for her kindness. If you want to arrest Falun Gong practitioners, I will go with you." Then he went into the police car but the police officers pulled him out. One village security person ran to my sister to stop her from going home. From this event, I could see that the people were awakening to the truth about Falun Gong.
While taking the bus, I would clarify the truth of Dafa to people, and they would listen to me intently. In taxis, I would also clarify the truth about Dafa to people. I have found that more and more people want to know about Dafa.
There are workers building a highway in our village. I clarified the truth to all of them, and they were very happy to listen to me. Director Wang of the railway system said, "I have never heard such reasonable words as you have said." They did not want me to leave.
I have realized that it's very important for Dafa practitioners to cultivate well. The effects of truth clarification will be best if practitioners can maintain the state of a true practitioner.
