(Minghui.org) After surmounting many difficulties, Ms. Tan Zhiying's daughter finally was able to see her mother on March 1, 2012. Ms. Tan has been detained in the Yangyuan Brainwashing Center for more than 20 days. She was very healthy before, but since being detained, Ms. Tan has deteriorated both physically and mentally. She had a heart attack. Her family strongly condemned the persecution and requested her release. The brainwashing center is still holding her with the excuse that she has not given up her belief in Falun Dafa.
Why are the CCP authorities expending so many resources to arrest and detain this kind woman in her 60s? Just how has Ms. Tan frightened such a “strong” political party?
By reinventing the mind
Ms. Tan, 63, lives in the Wanfulin Residential Area on Baishazhou Avenue, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Thirteen years ago, when she was 50, Ms. Tang had many health problems, including bladder stones, cataracts, vertigo, heart disease, and liver disease. Her liver disease was very severe. Sometimes she could not sleep because of the pain in her liver. Her hands and legs were weak.
With so many illnesses and no cures, Ms. Tan was fortunate to obtain Falun Dafa in 1999. After following the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, all of her illnesses disappeared. She changed into a completely healthy person. After the human mind improves, everything improves.
By taking care of her family
Ms. Tan originally needed her family to take care of her. After she became healthy, she was the one who took care of her family. Her husband is about 70 years old and very weak. He is totally dependent on her. Ms. Tan also helped her son's family, including her daughter-in-law and grandson. She went grocery shopping, cooked, and did housework every day. She took care of the whole family conscientiously, which displayed the character of a Falun Dafa practitioner. She is considerate to others at all times and in all places.
By teaching her son
Ms. Tan's son developed bad habits because of society's unsavory influence. He almost lost his reason and was out of control. However, Ms. Tan did not panic. She patiently instructed him with the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the wisdom endowed by Dafa. Later on, her son calmed down and mended his ways. Now he has a good job and is very responsible.
For talking to people about Falun Gong
When Ms. Tan saw folks who were not healthy, she just told them about her personal experience and talked about how wonderful Falun Dafa was. She hoped they would obtain the grand grace of Dafa and overcome their tribulations.
At 10 a.m. on February 8, 2012, Ms. Tang and another practitioner were talking to people about Falun Gong near Zhangjiawan. A man and a woman reported the two practitioners, who were then taken to the Qingling Police Station in Hongshan. Ms. Tan clarified the truth to the police and told them how wonderful Dafa is, as well as her personal experience after practicing Falun Gong. The police refused to listen and made things worse for her. They transferred her to the Hongshan Police Department, from where she was sent directly to the Dongxihu Women's Forced Labor Camp that same day.
By law, such a detention should not last more than two weeks. If there is no “evidence,” the detainee should be released unconditionally. However, the CCP personnel did not release Ms. Tan, who had been arrested just because she believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. On February 22, 2012, when her term was almost at an end, Ms. Tan was secretly transferred to the Yangyuan Brainwashing Center for further detention in order to force her to give up practicing Falun Dafa. The agencies that have participated in persecuting her include the Baoshazhou Police Station, the Wuchang District Police Department, the Wanfulin Community, and the Yangyuan Brainwashing Center.
