[China] The Second Time That I Experienced "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful"

On September 29, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. On November 8, I went to Beijing again. Over the last 9 months, I have been forced to separate from my husband and son, because local police officers were trying to arrest me. The police often went to my home and tried to arrest me. They harassed my relatives and threatened my husband. I experienced many difficulties while wandering about. When my husband and son were anxiously waiting for me, and when I suffered from the bitterness of not being able to return to my own home, I was very sad. However, when I thought about Teacher and Dafa, all the sufferings became nothing. I patiently talked with my husband about the principles of Dafa and helped him understand the importance of our stepping forward for others. When the police officers were looking for me and tried to secretly arrest me, he protected me, watched for the police and passed the information to me. This greatly helped me escape from the vicious forces many times. His contribution was such a tremendous help so that I could contribute my effort as a Dafa's particle in the Fa-rectification. I am really grateful to him. The process of our Teacher's Fa-rectification has been expedited, and every Dafa disciple must follow the course of Teacher's Fa-rectification. Teacher entrusted us with a great historic mission, "Dafa disciples' doing Fa-rectification." I feel sacred and serious. Therefore, when we eliminate the evil beings and do the Fa-rectification, we should understand correctly the relationship between our own cultivation and Fa-rectification. Thus, we are able to use our supernormal abilities at will.

On the night of June 9, 2001, when I was posting Dafa truth-clarifying materials with another practitioner, we were surrounded by a group of policemen. I remained very calm at the time. I seriously told them, "You cannot touch me. I do not allow any of you to continue persecuting Dafa practitioners." They did not listen to me and one of them took out his handcuffs, attempting to take me away. I loudly recited Teacher's Fa-rectification verse, "The Fa rectifies the cosmos, the evil is completely eliminated." Then the policemen immediately looked at me dumbstruck. So I walked away. Three or four minutes later, I returned and could not find the other practitioner. Right now the practitioner's situation is unclear.

[Northeast China] A Dafa Practitioner at Northeast Agriculture University was Abducted

Female Dafa practitioner Liu Limei is an associate professor, graduate student instructor, Ph.D. degree student, and party director of the Veterinary Department at Northeast Agriculture University.

On April 25, 2000, Liu Limei went to appeal in Beijing. She was escorted back and detained for 45 days. Police released her after extorting 3,000 Yuan [about $275, $60 is average monthly income in China] from her family. The university did not allow her to go back to work and suspended her Ph.D. degree program. At last, Liu Limei had to quit her job. In September 2000, without any notice, the authorities of the university stopped paying her salary. As her husband had to take care of their child during her detention, he also quit his job. Although both of them lost their jobs, the university authorities continued to harass her family. As long as they found a piece of truth-clarifying material in the university, the personnel in the University Security Department would bring the material to her home. If a student disappeared (went to appeal), she and her family were harassed even more. The university authorities claimed they would put her into a detention center. In such a situation, Liu Limei had to leave her daughter at home and wander about like a homeless person.

Although she was forced to leave her home, her family was still continuously harassed. Whenever the university found anything related to Dafa, regardless of whether it was at midnight or in bad weather, the officials from the University Security Department would come to her home.

On May 17, 2001, after Liu Limei had wandered about for half a year, she ran into several vicious persons from the University Security Department. They forcibly dragged her into a car and abducted her. They sent her to the City Police Office and posted an announcement on campus claiming they had detained Liu Limei for the banners, flyers and booklets found on her. They fabricated a story that they caught her while she was distributing the truth-clarifying materials in Nangang District. Moreover, they combined her case with two other criminal cases that occurred a few years ago into a report of the Security Department of Northeast Agriculture University.

Two people reading the announcement had the following conversation, "The Security Department does not do anything useful. Instead of investigating so many criminal cases, they are only good at giving honest people hard times."

[Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] Miao Qiang, the Vicious Policeman in Mudanjiang City Nanshan Police Office, Brutally Tortured Dafa Practitioners

Policeman Miao Qiang force fed practitioners with a mustard solution, hung practitioners from their fingers, scratched their ribs with an iron-board, tortured practitioners on a "tiger stool" [a torture instrument which can inflict excruciating pain on the tortured person] and suffocated practitioners by covering them with blankets and other inconceivable methods. He has tortured several practitioners so badly that they became wounded and disabled.

[China] Waiting in the Rain for 7 Hours in Order to Help Fellow Practitioner to Step Forward

A fellow practitioner told me a story, which deeply moved me. A practitioner wrote the so-called "separation statement"[to guarantee never to practice Falun Gong again] in a labor camp. After he got out, he felt regretful and was too ashamed to see other practitioners. He locked himself indoors and would not visit others or receive any phone calls. A practitioner who used to practice Falun Gong with him thought, "He feels sorry and regretful. That means he still does not want to give up Dafa. Now, he is just disturbed with human thoughts and cannot step forward. He needs help. Aren't they the practitioners whom Teacher is waiting for? I should send Teacher's articles to him. If he does not open the door, I will wait outside until he opens it."

Later, when he was waiting outside the door, it started raining. The practitioner stood outside under the roof. It had been raining all the time. The practitioner waited in the rain for 7 hours. At last, the practitioner's sincerity moved him. He opened the door in tears, "Come on in. You need not say anything. I already understand." After that he came back to cultivation. He exposed the vicious forces, clarified the truth and became a particle in Dafa again.

[China] Why does the Picture Cry?

Once, a practitioner went to a fellow practitioner's home, and he saw a picture of the fellow practitioner's deceased relative crying bitterly. The fellow practitioner told him that the relative used to be afflicted with a serious illness, but he didn't really start cultivation when he learned about Dafa, and later he died. Maybe he is grieving everyday for not cherishing and just letting go of such an opportunity as Dafa cultivation. Teacher said, "Cultivation practice is not child's play, and it is more serious than anything of everyday people; it is not something to take for granted. Once you miss the opportunity, when will you be able to get a human body again in the six paths of reincarnation? Opportunity knocks but once. Once the illusion you cannot relinquish disappears, you will realize what you have lost." (From Teacher's article "Practicing Cultivation After Retirement") Let's treasure this cultivation opportunity that doesn't come in tens of thousands of years even more, make good use of every day and every opportunity, and bring into play our power as Dafa particles to better harmonize Dafa.

[Xihe Town, China] The Meaning of "Immediate Retribution in This Lifetime"

In June 2001, Wang Zhi, the leader of Kongtun village of Xihe Town, borrowed a motorcycle from a practitioner. On his way to take care of business, it started to rain. He took off the cushion and found Dafa truth-clarifying materials inside. He then took away the materials. As a result, the motorcycle would not work well anymore. In addition, he fell off of it and injured his right wrist. When the practitioner found out that the truth-clarifying materials were missing, he asked Wang to return them. However, Wang refused. One day later, Wang again fell down from a bus for no apparent reason, but he still couldn't awaken to it. His wrist did not heal until his wife gave the truth-clarifying materials back to the practitioner.
