Since July 20, 1999, Falun Dafa has been attacked and persecuted. I, jointly with some fellow practitioners, appealed to the government to tell them about the facts and the magnificence of Dafa. We requested that the government treat Dafa fairly and restore the innocence of Teacher and Dafa. As a result, I repeatedly suffered persecution. One evening in 1999, seven or eight people from the public security office broke into my home. They ransacked my house, took away Dafa books, Teacher's photos, Fa lecture tapes, exercises tapes, a Falun emblem and other Dafa materials. They arrested me, detained me for half a month and forced me to pay a fine. While in detainment, I was also forced to sign, put my fingerprint and have a picture taken on a search warrant, a detainment warrant and an interrogation record. Upon going home, my work unit assigned one official to monitor me day and night and to prohibit me from going out. They threatened me and forced me to write "thought and mind material" or a "promise" every day during the first half month. They also forced me to sign and press my fingerprint on these materials against my will. In early 2000, another group of perpetrators from the local security office and the county 610 Office once again ransacked my home and arrested me. Failing to get anything after several days of interrogation and threats, they forced me to sign and press my fingerprint on the interrogation record. They also threatened my father-in-law and uncle to get them to write a "promise" for me. Under the pressure and threats, I was forced to write a "promise" and "decide to separate from Falun Gong." In late 2001, several officials in the county "610 Office" once again threatened me and forced me to sign on a test slandering Dafa and Teacher. To thoroughly eliminate and wash off these stains, I hereby solemnly declare: no matter when and under what circumstances, whatever I have said or written (including what others wrote for me), that does not conform to the standard of Dafa is invalid. I will cherish the opportunity that only comes once in thousands of years. I thoroughly deny the arrangement of the old forces, follow Teacher closely and keep up with the pace of Fa rectification. I will try my best to do the three things well, make every effort to make up for the loss I caused to Dafa and live up to the compassionate salvation of benevolent Teacher.

After I obtained the Fa in 1996, I changed dramatically both physically and mentally and have felt deeply the power of Dafa and the compassion of our Teacher. Since 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong started, I have been pressured in every aspect of my life, because of my firm belief in Dafa. After I was forced to quit my job and left home to avoid being arrested and tortured, I still kept "clarifying truth" and exposing the lies spread by the Chinese government. With time passing by, I slacked off in Fa study. Meanwhile my fellow practitioners were arrested one after another. I consequently developed the attachments of qing and fear. During one large-scale arrest, several fellow practitioners and I were arrested. Thinking that I had a large amount of truth-clarifying materials in my apartment and that it would be a huge loss in case those materials were confiscated, I developed fear, and it overcame my righteous thoughts. Under the pressure and threats, I was forced to write a "promise." But I still kept telling myself, "What I did was to deceive them in order to protect the truth-clarifying materials." The stain later became the turning point on my path of cultivation. Since then, my heart has been filled with fear, fame and personal gain. Meanwhile I am tortured by the feeling of regret and conflict. I no longer can calm down to study the Fa and practice the exercises. After going through such a bad cycle, I almost gave up cultivation and became an ordinary person who lived in fear. Even so, Teacher still gave me many hints and kept inspiring me. Today I collect all my courage and solemnly declare: all of the "promises" I wrote in the past were done under pressure and threats and were against my will. They are invalid. Falun Dafa is the faith I will believe in for all of my life. I am willing to wash off the stain from the past with my actions and become a clean cultivator. I will do the three things well and keep up with the process of Fa rectification.
