Detention Center Director and Two Police Officers Agree to Quit the CCP

(Minghui.org) When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa, the practitioners in our area kept going to Beijing to appeal. The CCP arrested many of them and put them in detention centers.

Director of a Detention Center

There was a director in one detention center who had just retired from the military. He was young and ambitious, and wanted to do something to advance his career. So he followed his superiors’ directives and was very cruel to detained practitioners, and beat them whenever he wanted. After a while, however, the compassionate conduct of Dafa practitioners inspired him. He gradually changed, no longer beat the prisoners, and tried his best to treat them kindly.

When I was detained there, he sometimes called me out for a talk. I told him about my experience of cultivating Dafa, and how Dafa teaches people to cultivate their minds and be good people. He was moved, and said, “The first batch of practitioners who were detained here, (referring to the coordinators who were arrested from various places the day before July 20, 1999) really impressed me.

“Their moral standards were very high! I have never seen such good people. After I saw their behavior, I changed. I no longer beat the prisoners, and I tried my best to persuade and educate them.” He also talked to me about his life and career, and commented about the dark side of today’s society. I advised him to hold on to his kindness and continue treating Dafa practitioners with respect.

He subsequently did treat Dafa practitioners kindly and tried his best to help them within his authority. For example, when some Dafa practitioners went on hunger strikes, he reported their situation to the higher authorities and asked for their release, saying that he could not be responsible if their lives were in danger! The practitioners were released in three days.

When practitioners wanted to write letters to advise the authorities to stop persecuting Dafa, the director provided them with paper and pens. When practitioners read the Fa and practiced the exercises, he pretended not to see it.

A fellow practitioner once ran into him on the street by chance, and invited him to dinner. He accepted. I also joined them. At dinner, we helped him quit the CCP and its affiliates. During his tenure, when there were practitioners detained in the detention center, we often asked him about their situations and if he could help them out when he could.

The Story of Two Police Officers

After the persecution began, I kept in contact with two local police officers. One was a veteran officer who was to retire in a few years. He was kind, and every time he came to my home, I would clarify the truth to him. He listened attentively without saying anything, and I felt that he accepted what I said. He never made anything difficult for me, as he was just going through the formalities that his superior directed him to do. Whenever I ran into him on the street, we greeted each other warmly and chatted.

I once saw him pumping up his bicycle tires at an intersection, so I got off my bike and greeted him. I then talked to him about Dafa and advised him to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I chose a nickname for him and helped him quit the CCP. He repeated the nickname and smiled. I felt that his joy was from his divine side that knew the truth and was looking forward to being saved.

One day, while I was distributing truth-clarification materials, I was followed by a plainclothes officer. I managed to escape, but I left behind my bike and a handbag with my personal information. I didn’t go home afterward and stayed away from my home for two months. During those two months, no officers went to my home looking for me. I learned later that this officer didn’t submit my case. He chose to do the right thing after he understood the truth about Dafa.

After this officer retired, a younger female officer took his position. When we met for the first time, I noticed that she was a simple and straightforward person. After I told her that Falun Dafa practitioners were being persecuted, she expressed her sympathy and said I was a good person.

Directed by her superior, she once came to my home and asked for my son’s phone number. My son was working out of town at that time. I said that I would not give out the number, and that it would be bad for her if I gave it to her. She became anxious and started crying, “What should I do? What can I say to my superior?” Seeing her crying, I thought, “When the evil Party persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners, aren’t they also persecuting these officers? As a practitioner I should not blame her. I should treat her with compassion and help her to receive Dafa’s salvation.”

I comforted her and said, “Don’t be anxious. You are new to this job and have no experience; you are trying to do whatever you’re told to do. However, don’t be so naïve and let others use you. The Communist Party will eventually get rid of those who carry out their evil deeds.

“During the Cultural Revolution, none of those who charged forward had good endings afterwards; seven or eight hundred of them were taken to Yunnan and killed. Don’t be naïve. The previous veteran officer just went through the formalities when he was ordered to do these things. No one took it seriously. Besides, everyone knows that Dafa practitioners are good people. Should anyone be so devoted to the CCP that they end up persecuting good people? You are here because your superior directed you to come. When you return, you can just tell them that no one was home; then you are done with the assignment.

“If he asks you to come again, I will make up a phone number for you to give them.” She asked, “Is that okay?” I replied, “Of course. And because you are protecting kind people and doing a good deed, god will bless you.” Believing what I said, she stopped being anxious and left with a serene expression. She never again asked me for my son’s phone number.

When I was released from custody a while later, I asked her, “I’ve told you so much about Falun Dafa, so why did you still lead people to search my home?” She replied, “I had no choice. I’m a local officer, how could I not go with them? But I did nothing; I only looked at a few photos.”

She then told me that she was severely criticized by her superiors because of me. I replied, “If they knew nothing about me, they would view it as though you were doing your job well. But since you protected me, you are also protecting yourself. Don’t you think that’s true?” She nodded in agreement.

She went to my house with several officers another time when I was not at home. My husband was angry and yelled at them, so they ended up leaving. She was the last one to leave my home. She comforted my husband by squeezing his hand twice to convey, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, don’t worry.”

She later brought some fruit to my home and insisted that I accept it. I declined at first, but after seeing that she was sincere, I accepted her gift. The next day, I gave her a 100 yuan phone card to express my gratitude.

I saw her in my residential subdivision in early 2024, and explained, “Li Keqiang died mysteriously. He was the prime minister of the country! You are only an officer; you must see the situation clearly and distinguish right from wrong.

“Remember what I told you before! Don’t be buried with the evil Party!” She nodded repeatedly. I saw that her complexion was darker, and asked if she had joined the Party. She said, “Yes, I had to join.” I replied, “I will give you a nickname and help you quit the CCP from your heart.” She agreed without hesitation.
