(Minghui.org) In China there is a surgeon who is greatly respected in her community. During her 30-plus years of experience, she has had a great deal of success in her medical practice. Many serious patients recovered quickly under her care. Many local people know that she is an excellent physician who does not overcharge. People also know that she is a Falun Gong practitioner and call her “Falun Gong doctor.”
Since July 2011, local police and officials from the “Stability Preservation Office” and the “610 Office” have been to this doctor's office and harassed her numerous times. They ordered her to write statements promising to give up practicing Falun Gong. She refused politely and told them the truth about Falun Gong and again and again. Later officers who understood the truth evaded visiting her or kept silent when they made visits to her office under orders from their superiors. Finally officials from the city government, district government and residential community office went together to put pressure on her. They even tried to bribe the doctor to give up her belief. She refused seriously.
The officials then tried another tactic. On November 20, 2011, they lied and called the doctor claiming to be in need of emergency medical care. As soon as the doctor arrived at her office, they arrested her without showing any warrant and took her to the notorious local brainwashing center. About 30 officials participated in arresting her. The doctor went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Seventy days later, she showed symptoms of myocardial ischemia, high blood pressure, cholecystitis and other diseases. Her weight dropped from 75 kg (165 lbs) to 38 kg (83 lbs) . Moreover, sudden myocardial ischemia almost took her life. The officials from the brainwashing center wanted to shirk responsibility, so on the following day they notified her family, the 610 Office and the Political and Judiciary Committee. She was taken back home.
Since July 2012, Superintendent Han from the local police station has been to the doctor's office several times to harass her. He contacted the property manager and asked him to revoke the doctor's lease. The property manager said, “No, we cannot do that. There are two reasons. First, such an action is immoral and will cause difficulties to her life. Second, she is a very reliable tenant and has never been late for a payment, so I have no reason to drive her away. As for her practicing Falun Gong, that's her own personal belief. Why don't you let her be? She is a good person. Her medical skills are excellent. She charges a low rate and she treats her patients very well.”
The property manager continued talking to the superintendent, “One time I borrowed money from her. After a long period of time, I forgot how much I owed her. I repaid her more than I borrowed. She told me that she had not lent me that amount of money and returned to me the balance. She is such a good person! Why not let her be? Everyone knows the Communist Party's attitude towards Falun Gong. You do not allow them the right to freedom of belief, speech, assembly or legal defense. Aren't there any laws to protect them? Falun Gong should have the right to speak out. The Party has its propaganda. Different people have different aspirations. Everyone has his own choice. You say Falun Gong is wrong. I disagree. The government controls all the nation's resources. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the dictator. No matter how big a mistake the CCP has made, it always claims itself as “great, glorious and correct.” For instance, it's the government's mistake to crackdown on the students on June 4th, 1989 just as it is wrong to persecute Falun Gong. However, the government not only didn't correct the mistake, but also spared none and attempted to exterminate all Falun Gong practitioners. You even want to drive her away. You do not allow Falun Gong practitioners to speak out, but has the Communist Party ever said any true words? Who would believe its claims?”
Superintendent Han was speechless. He said, “We also know that she is a good doctor and a good person. However, we just follow orders from the superior level government.” The property manager sneered at him, “Then it's just because you are afraid of losing your position. You recognize only the superior leaders, but can they substitute the law? Your superiors Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun looked sanctimonious when no one drew them out. Once their crimes were exposed, they were known as corrupt officials who engage in all kinds of criminal activity. They harvested organs from Falun Gong practitioners and sold them for profit. Moreover, they sold their corpses overseas for body exhibitions around the world. Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun used to be your superior leaders, too. CCP officials are all corrupt. None of them are good. China has no hope unless the CCP's dictatorship is eliminated and its censorship of the media and the internet is stopped. I repeat: I will NOT comply with your request.”
On the following day, the property manager told the doctor about the above conversation when other people were also around. They all had a heated discussion and agreed that Falun Gong is good and that Falun Gong practitioners are good persons. They said to one another, “The good is good and the evil is evil. We don't know how Falun Gong has developed over the past dozen years, however, we could see the positive difference in her. She is really a good person.”
Finally a person said to the doctor before leaving her office, “I support you.” Everyone else said to her, “We support Falun Gong.”
