1. In spring 2002, I was sent to the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province. Another practitioner, Wei Guobin from Bajibao, Nongan County was also sent there at the same time. In the beginning, Wei believed that it was "natural" to be detained and persecuted by the police. Such an impure understanding allowed the evil to take advantage of him, and guard Gao Zhilu repeatedly interrogated him. During his third interrogation, Wei finally realized that something was wrong because other practitioners were usually interrogated only once. Wei then understood that it must be interference from the dark minions, and decided not to cooperate with their evil arrangements. Thus, Wei refused to answer any questions and constantly sent forth righteous thoughts towards Gao Zhilu. A few minutes later, Gao Zhilu fainted while verbally abusing Falun Gong.
After this incident, I truly experienced the power of righteous thoughts. In the forced labor camp, we were under constant surveillance, and this made it difficult to read Zhuan Falun or Teacher's new articles. We realized however, that as long as we had strong righteous thoughts, Master was by our sides protecting us. The inmates who were sent to monitor us helped us by guarding the door. The guards on duty were afraid of entering the cell where practitioners were detained, and did not dare to come in the cell to check up on us.
2. Chu Liwen, who was detained in Changle Forced Labor Camp, Weifang City, Shandong Province, woke up early one morning to do the sitting meditation exercise on the bed. The inmate who was monitoring practitioners saw him and told him to stop. Chu Liwen, however, remained calm and did not stop, but quietly sent out a thought towards the inmate to "go away." Miraculously, the inmate on duty immediately ran away. After that incident, the inmate told others, "I'm not sure what happened. I just felt extremely frightened while looking at him doing the meditation exercise, so I ran away."
