(Clearwisdom.net) Around September 26, 2000, the Kaiping Labor Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province held a meeting for the entire camp in the auditorium of the men's group. On that day, two practitioners were on hunger strikes: Langfang Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Guimei, and Qinhuangdao Dafa practitioner Ms. Bi Yanzhen. Despite their bodies being terribly weak, they decided to go there to validate the Fa. The two took along with them a "Falun Dafa Is Great" banner that Ms. Liu Guimei had handmade.
There were over 1,000 prisoners assembled in the auditorium. Every policeman kept close watch as they continuously patrolled the auditorium. Many Dafa practitioners were kept under surveillance, and they were not allowed to speak. Here, practitioner Duan Jinjin, who had already been on hunger strike for 200 days, and Ji Yan, a Qinhangdao practitioner who had already been on hunger strike for 90 days, and some other practitioners came into the auditorium. With the help of some non-practitioner detainees, they walked into the place solemnly, and firmly. Looking at their emaciated figures, fellow practitioners were all weeping.
Liu Guimei and Bi Yanzhen sat together. As the meeting was ending, the two suddenly stood up. Liu Guimei raised high the red banner with the yellow letters of "Falun Dafa Is Great." Bi Yanzhen protected the Dafa banner and yelled loudly "Falun Dafa is great!" The sound ran through the universe. The police were astounded at what had happened in front of their own eyes, and everything was in disorder. Like a wolf pouncing on its prey, the police severely beat down Liu Guimei. Because Bi Yanzhen was currently on hungry striking, and her body was very feeble and light, she was thrown very far by a policewoman. Many practitioners tried to help protect the banner.
Liu Guimei, Bi Yanzhen, and others, a total of 8 practitioners were left behind waiting to be dealt with. Policeman Wang Jianzhong crazily beat Dafa practitioners, beating their faces one by one. There were over 100 Dafa practitioners still in the room, and they insisted that they would not leave until the 8 practitioners being held were released. They demanded firmly that they had to leave with them. The labor camp was afraid that the incident would cause trouble so they agreed. The practitioners worked as one body under Teacher's mercifulness to help the 8 practitioners to safely return to the women's brigade.
This was an act of validating the Fa performed by a unified group of practitioners in the Tangshan Kaiping Labor Camp.
