I am 47-year-old woman from Funing County of Qinhuangdao. I used to be sick all the time, suffering from neurasthenia, nephritis and other illnesses. I took medicine 365 days a year.

On February 26, 1999, I started to practice Falun Dafa. Since then, I have been practicing the exercises and studying the Fa, strictly following the universal principles of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" Not long after that, all my physical sufferings were gone. I used to be very weak and only weighed 99 pounds. Now I have completely changed: my weight has increased to a healthy 162 pounds, and I can do all kinds of work. I've been very healthy during the five years that I have I practiced Falun Dafa. From the bottom of my heart, I feel so grateful to Teacher and Falun Dafa for giving me health and a happy family.

On January 13, 2002, because I was distributing truth-clarifying flyers in a market, I was illegally taken to a police station. The director and six policemen from the station were involved in the arrest. They went to search my home as well, but did not find anything. At around 9:00 p.m., policeman Yang cuffed my hands and I sat on a stool until 8:00 a.m. the next morning. When they removed the handcuffs, my hands were bruised, with two deep bruised lines on them. Later, I was sent to Funing Detention Center, where I was detained for fifteen days.

My husband is an honest and nice man. During my detention, in addition to demanding payment for "expenses" for accommodation and photos, the police extorted money from him three times - 2000 yuan the first time, 1000 yuan the second time and 1000 yuan the third time. The money was given to Yang every time, without witnesses or any receipts. Each time, he asked my husband to go to the police station in the evening.

At 3:00 p.m. the day after my release, Yang again broke into my home, this time alone. He threatened and swore at my husband, even demanding food from him. Then he asked for 500 yuan. At the time, I thought of what Teacher said to "suffocate the evil", so I ran out and phoned the director of the police station. I shouted in front of my house, "Come and see, the policeman broke into people's home without justification and extorted money from honest people. Tell me which law allows you to do so? Who asked you to do so?" A lot of people gathered around. Soon, Pan Weixing, assistant director of the police station, came with five others. They persuaded me to enter the house and took Yang away. They looked panicked and scared. After that, I exposed their behavior to the people living in the same area. The director of the police station declared that he would get his revenge on me.

I told them that I did not have any hatred for them, and that I only hoped that they would not aid the persecutors and persecute good people.

After that, the leaders of the police station and Yang came to my home, apologizing for what they did. They also returned 3500 yuan, but they still kept 100 yuan as a "deposit."
