(Clearwisdom.net) January 7, 2003 was my mom's birthday. I went with her to deliver books to another practitioner. Right after we entered the practitioner's home, we were taken away by police. One of them was named Zhang Wenxi.
I know that Falun Dafa is good and support my mother in her practice. Before my mom began to practice, a couple of years ago, I was 31 years old and my son was only 8 years old. My husband had died, I did not have a job and life was so difficult for us. My parents lived with me, and they and my child were always sick. My mom had carditis, coronary heart disease, and vascular disease. There were many hematomas on her leg. She had to be transported in a wheelchair when she went out. If she was not being looked after all the time, she went into shock. We had to spend at least 1,000 yuan on medical expenses every month.
Since my mom started to practice Dafa, her diseases all went away. Her cheeks became rosy and plump, and we did not have to spend a penny on medical care. My son, who used to get colds all the time, has never gotten a cold since. I do not practice but my ailments have gone away as well. I was so happy. Falun Dafa is so good. I am grateful to Dafa and grateful to Master Li who has saved my family.
Less than 10 minutes after my mom and I entered that practitioner's home, a couple of other practitioners also arrived to visit. Before we knew it, Zhang Wenxi led seven or eight policemen, bursting into the house and arresting all of us. My son was left home alone without anyone to take care of him. I told them that I did not practice Falun Gong and they ignored me. I was detained in the no. 2 detention center in Mulan County. I asked to be released but they did not release me.
Five days later, the people who arrested me came. They made fun of me, saying that I was arrested even though I was not a practitioner. They told me not to practice and to say some bad words about Master Li. I said, "I won't curse, even my child won't curse. My whole family has benefited from Falun Dafa." The people from the police department replied angrily, "You will stay here if you don't curse Falun Dafa."
Finally, they let me go and then took me back to the detention center a couple of days later. They told me a couple of times, "If you use one curse word against Master Li and Falun Dafa, we will release you." I said, "I won't curse. Falun Dafa is indeed good. I will start to practice." They got really upset and said some curse words.
They do everything they can to "reform" practitioners, deceive people and incite them to hate Falun Gong and Master Li. They detained me for four and a half months. During that time, my son's feet froze and he lost weight. My dad was so anxious and as a result felt sick. The policemen took advantage of this and put pressure on me. They said they would allow me to borrow 3,000 yuan in order to buy my release. They took me out of the detention center in a car, taking me somewhere I could borrow the money. They claimed my mom had been working with others to "disturb the social order" because she went to a practitioner's home with Falun Gong books. Mom kept her belief in justice and conscience and did not give up her faith. She was sentenced to one year of forced labor and was treated inhumanely.
These kinds of things did not happen just to me. A practitioner who worked at home was abducted after policemen asked him to go to the police department to verify something. Another practitioner, who was a salesman in a department store, was also taken away. His house was searched and he was sentenced to one year in a labor camp. There are so many stories like this.
