I was sentenced to a six-year prison term in 2008. I gave in to the unrelenting pressure put on me by the guards. Due to my fear, and against my conscience, I signed the repentance statement prepared by the authorities when I was in prison and facing mental and physical torments.
I was subsequently not relieved of the enormous pressure however, and I fell into deep regret and guilt. I let down Master and Falun Dafa, and disappointed Master, who has labored to save us.
I herewith solemnly declare that everything I have said and done that does not conform with the principles of Dafa is null and void. I will do my best to do the three things well, let go of attachments, advance diligently in true cultivation, and make up for the losses that I have caused to Falun Dafa. I will firmly cultivate in Falun Dafa to the end and be a qualified Dafa disciple.

I went to the local provincial government to petition for the right to practice Falun Dafa shortly after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its unprecedented persecution of the practice on July 20, 1999. I was arrested by officials from the provincial government, and taken to a brainwashing center.
It was a very bad environment, and I was monitored even while using the restroom. Officers from the brainwashing center interrogated me and other practitioners. They forced us to watch videos that slandered Dafa. Due to lack of righteous thoughts, and after being threatened and lied to, I agreed to renounce the practice.
After I was released, officers from the local household department, residential committee, and 610 Office repeatedly harassed me and confiscated my Falun Dafa books. They ordered me to keep in touch with them and report to them about Dafa activities. They also prepared the repentance statement and ordered me to sign it.
Due to my lack of righteous thoughts, I signed the statement. I realize that it is impossible to deal with the persecution by succumbing to ordinary people's tricks. The lesson was profound, and it left a blemish on my cultivation.
I herewith solemnly declare that everything I have said and done that does not conform with the principles of Dafa are null and void. I will make up for the losses that I have caused to Falun Dafa, firmly cultivate in Falun Dafa to the end, and do the three things well. I will completely negate the old forces' arrangements.
