(Clearwisdom.net) Our local Falun Gong material production site was being monitored by the authorities in 2002. One practitioner feared that the materials would be lost and asked me to help move everything out. I did not want to go, yet I went anyway, despite my sinking feeling. When we got close to the site, we saw there were many police in plainclothes, including people from the 610 Office. They recognized us immediately and took us to a detention center.

I went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal arrest. The police put 24 kg handcuffs on me and forced food down my throat. With the heavy handcuffs on, I could not even stand up. They took me to a remote location eight days later and tried to deceive me. When they could not reach their goal, they threatened me with continued violence. I asked Master for help. A police officer from 610 Office wanted to kick me, but his kicks had no strength, just like a half-filled balloon. All they could do was threaten me with a ten-year prison sentence.

My thinking was that their words did not count, and we should only focus on and listen to Master. I kept Master’s teachings firmly in mind. No matter who I met, I just told the person that Falun Gong was good, and one would face retribution for committing bad deeds. One of them told me that he had started working with Falun Gong in 1994, but only one other practitioner had told him that Falun Gong was good. He complained to me that he used to have a friend who was a practitioner, and that he had had to persecute his friend. Unfortunately, this friend never told him why Dafa is good.

In this manner, I was able to resist for over ten days. Then, they did not allow me to sleep for 24 hours. I kept in an iron chair during this time. My hands and legs were chained to the chair, there was chain around my waist. Quite a few officers took turns watching me. At the time, I had only one very firm thought that this was not the road arranged by my Master, that I should not stay there, and that I should go out to do the three things and walk the path arranged by Master. Whenever I went into a slump, I recited Master’s “Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions:”

“A Great Enlightened One fears no hardship

Having forged an adamantine will

Free of attachment to living or dying

He walks the path of Fa-rectification confident and poised”

Master knew my heart and helped me enlighten.

One day, a police officer who was monitoring me called my name and said, “If you are able, you should walk away by sending forth righteous thoughts. I would quit my job of ten years with the police if you walked away right now.” I suddenly understood. I realized that I should give more effort to sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate evil forces in other dimensions. I adjusted my mind and strengthened my righteous thoughts.

Three days later, in front of the police officer who told me to walk away by sending forth righteous thoughts, I took off the handcuffs, leg-cuffs, and chain around my waist without any hesitation when the officer dozed off over his desk less than three feet away. A fly was moving on his hand, and his hand was moving around to chase it off. Another officer just stood up and walked away. (The leg-cuffs were not locked after my return from restroom the night before.)

With Master’s help, I walked away in a dignified manner and witnessed Dafa’s mighty power. It is through Master’s help that I walked out of my tribulation.
