Solemn Declaration
I am 35 years old and I was abducted and incarcerated in January 2002. I was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor and have been released. During the time I was held at the labor camp I was detained in solitary confinement for a long time, where I was forced to sit or stand all day long--sometimes all day and all night. The perpetrators wrote words cursing Master and me on paper slips and taped them all over the wall and my body.
For a long time they forced me to drink bowls of water but didn't allow me to use the toilet when needed. When I refused to drink, they pinned me to the ground and force-fed me. My upper body was often soaked with water and my lower body soaked with urine. They repeated the force-feeding when my clothes dried up. Once, they stripped off all my pants and threw me outside in the freezing cold. At times they starved me and at other times they deliberately over-fed me. They also threatened, beat and cursed me. I had Master and Dafa in mind, so I was never afraid. Although I was thin, I was energetic and never ill. However, about two years into the detention, they tied me up with a rope. After a period of torture, I became muddle-headed and wrote a Repentance Statement. I soon realized and remembered my mistake and didn't look for excuses to cover it up. I recited Master's words and kept strengthening my righteous thoughts. About one month before my release I finally broke through my attachments and publicly said these words from my heart, "Master is grand! Falun Dafa is great!" I am deeply ashamed of letting Dafa down. Hereby I solemnly announce that all of my words and actions against Dafa and Master while being held at the labor camp are completely void. Master is benevolent, solemn and magnificent. Master imparted us Dafa, the truth of the universe. I will follow Master and do well in the three things required of Dafa practitioners and complete my historic mission.

Solemn Declaration
While I was held in a prison, the guards tortured me physically but failed to make me give up my belief. Then they persecuted my family. Because I didn't give up my attachment to my family, I let Master and Dafa down and wrote a guarantee statement, which pleased the evil. With attachments, I misinterpreted Master's words "the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism" ("Non-omission in Buddha Nature" from Essentials for Further Advancement) as thinking from the perspective of ordinary people and sacrificing for them. I didn't look at things from the perspective of Fa rectification. After I wrote the statements I had a nervous breakdown and was deeply ashamed. I clearly knew that I had betrayed Master and Dafa at a critical moment. I had brought shame upon and disrupted Dafa. Master's benevolence gave me hope, and fellow practitioners' articles on Minghui Net cleared away my remaining doubts. After digging out my fundamental attachments, I have returned to Fa rectification period cultivation. Hereby I announce that all of my words and actions at the prison are void. I will completely negate the old forces' arrangements, do well the three things with righteous thoughts and actions, and keep up with Fa rectification.
