Therefore, she began to clarify the truth of Falun Gong to people she met, with the compassion and tolerance of a Falun Dafa practitioner. She was not concerned about her own safety. She even clarified the truth to the police in the police station. She told them her own experience. She told them how Falun Gong changed her from a criminal to a good person. She also talked about how the practice gave her mental and physical health, and how it improved her moral values.
