(Clearwisdom.net) I am 73 years old. I often travel the streets by bike. I can walk briskly without out losing my breath. I have cultivated Falun Dafa for over 10 years and I have never been sick. Before I cultivated Falun Dafa, I was reimbursed monthly medical expenses from 600 to 1000 yuan. All the people who were familiar with me knew that I had a nickname: Half-alive.
Such a good practice was framed and slandered by Jiang's regime, which employed all the evil means in the world to brutally persecute Falun Dafa. In the last several year of persecution, my house was ransacked five times, I have been locked up many times in detention centers and once in a brainwashing center. Every time, I held the firm belief that it is not wrong to practice Falun Dafa, and it is not wrong to believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." I clarified the truth to the policemen who came to ransack my house. I told them that all the political campaigns launched by the evil communist party were eventually corrected. There is no good end for them if they work for the evil. The things that they confiscated from me would return to me someday. A policeman said, "How can that be possible?"
My husband is not a practitioner. He is a retired officer, and he has played with politics in the evil party all his life. Every time our house was ransacked, he would be so scared that he had to be hospitalized. He gets more scared each time. After our house was ransacked in June 2003, he never recovered. He lay in bed and then had a heart attack. He died in January 2004 from shock.
Less than 100 days after my husband's death, I found out that I was being tailed. Even when my relatives came to visit me, the neighborhood committee would interrogate them. I went to the neighborhood committee and told them that what they did was against the law and against my individual rights. I listed their deeds in public. Then, other people also started to criticize them. Thus, the staff of the committee no longer dared to monitor me openly.
Later, I found out that a plainclothes police officer had been watching me for several days around the building. I thought to myself, "Since you have come, I will clarify the truth to you." I went to him and asked, "Are you watching for Falun Gong practitioners?" He stuttered and did not dare to answer my question. Then, I started to tell him how great Falun Dafa was and how our Teacher, Li Hongzhi, taught us to be good people and cultivate "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance". Our Teacher taught us that we don't blame others even if they hit us with their cars. I told him why Jiang wanted to persecute Falun Gong. He said "Ma'am, feel relieved. I am not that kind of person." After that, he never showed up around our building again.
Around July 20, 2004, in order to cut off the resources for my truth-clarifying materials, the local national security division sent an agent to destroy my mailbox. Then, I went to the post office to clarify the truth. I told them that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and Dafa had made me healthy physically and spiritually. We just wanted to be good people, which is good for families and society. Why did the national security agents destroy my mailbox and invade my mail rights? The staff in the post office said: "Please don't worry about it. If your mailbox was destroyed, we will repair it." My mailbox was later destroyed three times in one week, and the post office fixed it three times. Afterwards, the mailman delivered my mail directly to my home.
At the end of 2004, after discussion with several fellow practitioners, we brought with us a cassette player and went to a park to do the Falun Gong exercise as a way to validate the Fa. That action shook the evil greatly. Because our minds were pure, and we had protection and strength from our Teacher, we kept doing the exercises in the park for over 10 days. Many people who lived nearby stopped to see us and talked amongst themselves saying, "We never thought that there were people still practicing Falun Gong."
Since the persecution began in 1999, no matter how the regime frames and persecutes Falun Gong, they have failed to change my deep belief in Dafa. I deeply understand that my life was bestowed by Dafa. I must use my life to demonstrate that Falun Dafa is great and "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" are great. I must do my best to let many more sentient beings benefit from Dafa, do the three things Teacher asked us to do well, and never disappoint the compassionate salvation of our Teacher.
