This is a story told by a woman with only a grade school education from a rural village, in which she briefly described the incident.
Coldness and an evil atmosphere covered Xinle, a small city located in the Shijiazhuang area, Hebei Province.
One day in the winter, it was freezing and was about 20 degrees below zero. In thick clothes and a cotton-padded coat and shoes, we still felt so cold that we could not help shivering all over and stomping our feet in the snow to keep warm.
The Xinle City police forced every Falun Gong practitioner to pour a basin of cold water onto a "snow pile." However, it seemed that a person had been buried in the snow pile. After the pouring, a policeman dragged a person out from the snow pile. After a little while, we came to realize that it was a woman. In the freezing world of ice and snow, we still felt extremely cold even when we were in very thick clothes, while she was wearing very little clothing, which had frozen and stuck to her skin. Due to the extreme coldness, she was almost unable to even stand.
To the side a policeman who looked like an official furiously shouted to her: "Are you still going to practice Falun Gong?"
"Yes, I will!" her answer was quite low, but very firm and clear.
The official furiously ordered: "Beat her! Beat her!" At the order, a group of guards swarmed towards her... I closed my eyes because I was too horrified to watch the violence.
Then came the sound of cruel beating, which seemed to go on forever.
"Ask her if she will continue to practice Falun Gong!" a voice shouted. I opened my eyes, seeing she was already unable to stand and a guard was seizing her hair and trying to drag her up from the ground with force.
"I will, as long as I am alive," the ice-covered woman answered very softly, but with determination.
The official was exasperated and, stomping his feet in the snow, shouted hysterically: "Go ahead and rape her, for me!"
Postscript: Three years have passed since the incident happened, but the scene of the world of ice and snow still shows up before my eyes constantly. I think about the whereabouts of the persistent fellow practitioner and, in the mean time, I feel very sad for the indifference of the practitioners on the scene. They might have been overwhelmed by the rampancy of evil at that moment and, consequently, amplified it. Today, we should strengthen our righteous thoughts and stand firmly with fellow practitioners to form a whole body. Together we shall overcome the evil.
