[Note from Editor: This article was read on the recent experience-sharing conference held by courageous Falun Dafa practitioners in Lan-zhou City, Gan-su Province.]

My wife waked up crying from a dream. She said I had to leave her for some important matter in her dream. She could never understand, while I am always so nice to her, how could I stand leaving her and our daughter who is only eight months old?

I stared at my wife and my daughter while they were deep in sleep peacefully. I was especially worried whether my wife could put up with various living burdens, and whether she could stand that many criticisms. Yet I am clearly aware that nothing is more important than guarding the Fa (Law of the Universe) and nothing is greater than rectifying the Fa. I came up with a heart-tearing decision at last-a determination to go to Beijing.

On November 7, five of us got on the eastward train. I knew I had finally got rid of the spiritual shackles and walked out from the crowd. I would never turn back. I was confident to undertake even bigger trials and sufferings facing me ahead.

It was the early morning of November 9th. The sun just rose from the horizon when we started to practice Falun Gong exercises at Tiananmen Square. At that moment my mind was so pure that there was not even a trace of worldly thoughts. All the sudden, a police officer came over and knocked me down. I stood up and continued practicing. He hit me again. Meanwhile he roared: "Still practicing? Still practicing? Why practice?" I said, "Falun Dafa is so great. Of course I want to practice." After he heard it, he hit me without a stop and said, "I'll let you feel great!" So I went on shouting, "Falun Dafa is great." He pushed me while hitting me until I got into a police car. We were brought to the Tiananmen Police station.

There were thirty-some detained Falun Dafa practitioners brought back from the Square that morning. Twelve of them were from Gansu Province. After we exchanged ideas for about two hours, we were taken away one after another. Through our conversations, I was further enlightened. Since Tiananmen Square is the center of the Nation, more people would get informed that we are here to confirm the superiority of Falun Dafa with our pure hearts.

Falun Dafa practitioners protect Falun Dafa with their lives. Their deeds can penetrate human's hearts, touch all immortals in heavens, and move all living beings in the Universe. We have already grown up and learned the laws and principles of the universe. It is now time to guard the Fa in this difficult situation. Lots and lots of practitioners from many places have given up everything in this human world and walked out. This is the time for us to walk out with dignity, to restore the cultivation environment that our teacher leaves us with, and to rectify the human world. Our teacher is watching us to see how we take our own examination and how we fulfill our own world. If the human world is not rectified, we won't deserve to be brought into Heaven by our teacher.

Yanbiao Fu

Falun Dafa Practitioner from Lanzhou

December 18, 1999

Note: Mr. Yanbiao Fu and other practitioners still insisted on studying Falun Dafa and practicing exercises in school custody. The school authority discovered their deeds in mid-December and commented, "The greater the pressure, the more determined you are!" They then ordered these practitioners not to study Falun Dafa and practice exercises any further. So Mr. Fu started hunger strike. Six days later, the school decided to send him to his brother's home in Xin-jiang Province. Fu was carrying two bulky bags when he got on the train and fainted. When he regained his consciousness, the escort presented him with a copy of "Zhuan Falun" (the main text of Falun Dafa). Then Fu took food again.
