(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In the summer of 2000, I was practicing the exercises in a busy area and was arrested. The police officer asked me many questions. I explained to him patiently the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa. I pointed to the wall where they posted messages such as "Truthfully Report Issues to the Authorities" and asked him, "Do you know what people's concerns are?" The police officer said he did not. I said, "You haven't done your job and that's why we went to Beijing to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. We are not here out of self-interest. We just want to be good people. Are you afraid of having too many good people? Who is responsible for this persecution?" The police replied, "It's us!"
At around 3 a.m. one day in 2001, I was out posting truth-clarification materials. I realized that I was being stalked. I noticed that there was a garbage dump with a few dogs eating from it. When they saw me coming, they ran towards me. I was not afraid. I said to them, "You cannot bite me. I am here to save people. You should go bite bad people." They then went over to the guy stalking me and scared him away.
One morning in 2002, I was walking back home after I had finished posting truth-clarification messages. I saw a man tearing off the messages that I had posted, and I asked why he was doing that. He told me that he could take them to the courthouse and that he would get one yuan for every 25 pieces. I said, "Do you feel good spending the money? Falun Gong practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They have done nothing wrong and yet they are being persecuted by the communist government. This is the only way they can let everyone know the truth. You took them down. That is a terrible thing to do. You will have to pay for it in the future." He listened with his head down and said that he would never do it again.
In 2008, a practitioner was arrested and taken to the hospital. I went with her husband to demand her release. When a police officer tried to keep me away, I stayed by her side to talk to her and to strengthen her righteous thoughts. That night, we asked that they allow a family member to stay with her. With Teacher's reinforcement and other practitioners' righteous thoughts, they agreed. On the second night, I went to stay with her. As soon as I decided to go, I was interfered with in a physical way. Right away, I disintegrated the evil with righteous thoughts and reminded myself that my fellow practitioner's affairs were my affairs. I had to be with her so we could be one body to stop the persecution. Every practitioner has his or her own mission. We are here to save people, not to suffer persecution.
At the hospital, her relative told me that the Domestic Security Division knew that I was not related to her and that I was a fellow practitioner and suggested that I not go. I discussed this with other practitioners and made up my mind that no mater what, I would go. I would not accept the old forces' arrangement. When I arrived at their room, the police said, "Here comes the more stubborn one. What's your relationship with her?" I told her, "We are fellow practitioners. She is my sister. Look at how she is. How could I not come?" He had nothing to say.
At night when they changed shifts, the new attendant asked who I was. The old one told him that I was a practitioner. This gave me another opportunity to clarify the truth to him. I told him to treat Falun Dafa practitioners with kindness and to say to themselves, "Falun Dafa is good."
A day later, I asked when they would release my sister. The police said, "How could we release her? She has a computer and a printer at home." I replied, "So many people have a computer and printer at home. What kind of reason is that?" He was speechless.
With teacher's strength and protection and the cooperation of practitioners inside and outside of China, after about a month, the practitioner was released.
