(Minghui.org) Knife-wielding assailants killed 33 people and left more than 140 injured at the railway station in China's Kunming City, Yunnan Province on March 1, 2014. This incident has been named the 2014 Kunming Massacre. Below are accounts of two people who supported Falun Gong, and survived the onslaught.
Knife Stopped Above Her Head
Ms. A, 60, is from Shilin County, Kunming City. In 2007, a few local practitioners visited her house, and told her and her mother-in-law the facts about Falun Gong. Both of them came to understand its goodness and have since been supportive.
On March 1, she went to the Kunming train station to say goodbye to her granddaughter. After her granddaughter left, Ms. A went back to the lobby. Suddenly she heard horrific screams. Before she realized what was happening, she saw a long knife being raised right in front of her.
Stunned with fear, and unable to think, she subconsciously put her hands together in the heshi position, where both palms of the hands are pressed together in front of one's chest.
She was unaware of how long she kept her hands in that position, but when she opened her eyes, the knife-wielding assailant was nowhere to be seen. She was, however, surrounded by four dead, bloody bodies.
Ms. A still trembles when she recalls the bloody and brutal scene. She is deeply grateful that practitioners told her the facts about Falun Gong, which she believes, saved her life.
Fate Changed in a Few Minutes
Mr. B, a local resident, learned about Falun Gong from a practitioner and renounced his Communist Party membership a few days before the massacre.
The practitioner told him to chant “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” whenever encountering any danger, which will save his life.
On March 1, Mr. B was waiting for the train at the railway station. Right before the murderers rushed into the lobby, Mr. B had a sudden urge to go to the bathroom.
A few minutes later he came back from the bathroom and was shocked by what he saw: dead bodies and blood everywhere. People were screaming and running. In the chaos, he saw that all the people who were sitting next to him before he went to the bathroom were dead.
He later went to see the practitioner who told him the facts about Falun Gong and who had helped him quit the Party. “Everything you told me was true. Falun Gong is good, and what you told me saved my life,” he cried, tears streaming down his face.
