(Minghui.org) I was in the city taking care of my grandson in August 2018 when a police officer called my cell phone and said he wanted to see me. I told him that I was away, but he insisted on seeing me in my own home the next day. When I asked what is so important, he said, “Nothing. We just want to see how you are.” I thought, “It is generally not so easy to see the police. Now you want to come see me; this is a good opportunity for me to explain the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa to you.”
Two officers came to my home the next day at 6 p.m. One of them introduced himself as the chief of the police station and asked if I was still practicing Falun Dafa. I said, “How can I not continue practicing, given that it is such a good cultivation way?”
I then told them about my experience. I’d had all sorts of ailments, including stomach problems, pleurisy, high blood pressure, gynecological issues, and conditions the doctors didn’t even have a name for. I had a poor appetite, took pills every day, and could hardly walk. My husband took care of me and carried me to wherever I needed to go. I lost consciousness at times and was just waiting to die.
A classmate visited me on June 14, 1998, and asked me if I was interested in practicing Falun Dafa. He said it was a righteous practice and could help heal illnesses. I wondered if it would help me given the seriousness of my condition. We were broke because of my poor health, so I decided to go to the practice site to try my luck. After I watched Master Li Hongzhi’s Fa-lecture videos for two days, I felt I wanted to eat. In a month I could eat anything. All my ailments disappeared, and I was able to work in the fields. It was just miraculous!
I also had a bad temper and was easily agitated before I started cultivation practice. I was always dissatisfied with people and even fought over trivial matters. After I began to cultivate Dafa, however, I learned that Master Li wants us to conduct ourselves according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and to always think of others first. My temper improved, and I was friendly. My whole family was happy that I had a new life. All the people around me witnessed how Dafa miraculously saved me and my family. They all knew that Falun Dafa was good.
I then asked the chief of the station, “What do you think about Falun Dafa?” He replied, “It is good indeed!”
I continued, “Things suddenly changed in July 1999, when former Party leader Jiang Zemin began to persecute Falun Dafa. I was taken to the police station every few days and detained for three, five, or even a dozen days. While there, they did not let me sleep and made me sit. At home, they sent people to watch me and stop me from going out without permission. Dafa saved me, and practitioners followed Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in our lives. Did I do anything wrong? I decided to go to Beijing in February 2000 to appeal for justice and restore Master’s reputation.
“I was arrested on Tiananmen Square and taken back to my local police station. They beat me, poured water on me, and almost drowned me. They then pushed me into a group of officers and told everyone to hit me. Some refused, but some did hit me. I was bruised all over.
“The officers posted large slogans on the walls around the station that day: ‘Down with counter-revolutionary XX [my name],’ ‘Down with Falun Dafa diehard XX.’ After a meeting in which I was berated, they took me to the police station again, where I was beaten and forced to stand.
“The next day, they put a sign on me and paraded me through the streets. I was then taken to a detention center for 15 days. After that, I was held at the police station for another 12 days. At the station, I was berated and beaten, and my home was ransacked. I was fined 3,600 yuan before I was released.
“When I got home, I saw that my sofa, bed, and all the furniture, plus the pigs and chickens, were gone. I was left with only some grain, which they had also wanted to take, but our neighbor told them, ‘They have an 80-year-old disabled person in the family. They need to live, too.’”
After hearing all this, the head of the station was moved to tears. He said as he was leaving, “Falun Dafa is indeed good. Why don’t you practice it at home?” He also repeated, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
