(Minghui.org) One night in late July last year, I went to practitioner Fang’s home on my electric bike. When I arrived at the entrance to her home, I saw some plainclothes police officers. Thinking that something was not right, I turned my bike around and tried to leave. However, an officer stopped me, and he took a photo of me with an electronic device that showed him my name and home address right away. He called his colleagues in the yard and told them to come, as he had “caught another one.”
They dragged me into the yard, where I saw a practitioner standing there, with Fang still inside her house, watched over by two officers. They told me to squat down, but I refused. They did not insist. I understood from listening to their conversation that they had monitored Fang for a long time. At around 9:00 pm, officers from the police station came to arrest me. When they tried to handcuff me, I did not cooperate. They then forced my hands behind my back and cuffed me.
I was taken to the police station and put in solitary confinement. A tall officer came in sometime later and asked for my address. I did not say anything. Because I hadn’t been in this police station before, I though I should take the opportunity to clarify the truth to them. I said, “You look like a kind person. It must be fate that we meet. I will tell you what I know and I hope that us meeting can bring you a good future.” He let me talk.
I said, “We Falun Dafa practitioners are good people. We follow Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and we don’t do bad things. The Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident shown on TV was fabricated, and has all kinds of flaws. Jiang Zemin persecutes Falun Dafa because he was jealous that so many people practiced it. Nowadays Falun Dafa has spread throughout the world and people in more than 100 countries are practicing it. Have you heard about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for a safe future? Only after people quit the CCP, and its Youth League and Young Pioneers, can they ensure a bright future for themselves.”
He listened quietly with a gentle facial expression. I begged Master in my mind to strengthen me and help him understand the truth. I asked the officer if he had joined the CCP. He told me he was a CCP member. I said, “Please listen to me. It’s for your own good. Quit the CCP to ensure you have a safe future. It won’t cost you anything. You don’t have to pay anything and you don’t have to work hard for it. All you need to do is to believe it.” He agreed. I chose a nickname for him and helped him quit the CCP.
I was taken to a brainwashing center the next morning, where I was put in a room with two beds. Officer A asked where I got the truth-clarifying materials. I replied, “It must be fate that we meet. You look quite kind and I hope you have a bright future. Dafa practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, and we practice five sets of the exercises. I haven’t taken any medicine for the past two dozen years, since I started practicing cultivation. I recovered from all my illnesses, and I am healthy. Do you think that practicing Falun Dafa is good?” He agreed, but wondered why I go out and tell people about Dafa.
I said, “We cultivate compassion, and tell people about the good things that we know about. Isn’t it right to do this? The CCP has killed more than 80 million people in its political campaigns. It is still persecuting good people who practice Falun Dafa, and harvesting organs from them while they are alive, for huge profits. The CCP has done so many bad things. Heaven is eliminating the CCP and its organizations. All CCP members, including those in the Youth League and Young Pioneers, are part of it and will be implicated. I advise you to quit the CCP and its organizations as soon as possible for a safe future?” “I won’t quit!” he replied. “I have been a CCP member for nearly 30 years. You have cultivated for many years, can you fly? Have you healed anyone? I would believe you and also cultivate if you could fly.” “Cultivation is not a performance,” I answered. “Our Master doesn’t allow us to heal people. It’s clearly stated in Zhuan Falun. You should read the precious book.” I also talked to him about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident. He didn’t seem to understand much, but he listened.
He didn’t want to listen to me anymore in the afternoon, and proceeded to ask me where I got the the pack of materials from. He said he would let me go if I told him. I responded, “I won’t tell you. It is not good for you if I tell you. When Falun Dafa is rehabilitated, it will be evidence that you persecuted me. What will you do then? Besides, if I tell you, will you arrest and persecute them?” He questioned, “How do you know they will be arrested? Maybe we will leave them alone.” “You know the nature of the CCP,” I replied. “In order to achieve its goal, it lies to people, instigates people to go against others, and fabricates situations to deceive people. There is nothing that it won’t do. This is all that I can tell you. I can see that you are a kind person.”
The brainwashing center assigned officer A and another one to monitor me during the day, and officers B and C at night. They initially allowed me to sleep in bed, but three days later, seeing that I still refused to cooperate with them, they stopped that and wouldn’t allow me to sleep. At night, when officers B and C came, officer A told them that I could do the exercises in the corner of the room or simply squat there, but I was not allowed to sleep. I was glad to hear this, since I had not been able to do the exercises for several days. I then started doing the exercises.
To get ready for the sitting meditation, I took off my shoes and sat down. Officer C saw officer B making the bed, preparing to sleep, and there were two pillows on the bed. Officer C said to B, “Give her a pillow so she can sit on it to do her exercise.” It seemed to me officer C had some kindness. Officer B looked at me, and responded, “Let her sit on the floor.” After a while, she asked me, “Isn’t the air conditioner blowing on you while sitting?” I understood that she indicated that I could change where I was sitting. Seeing that they had some kindness in them, and thinking that Master wants to save people, I clarified the truth to them. I then advised them to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. However, they refused. Officer B once said, “If you weren’t as old as my mother, I would have beaten you.” I replied, “You are a kind child and would not do that.” I knew that Master protected me. As long as we hold a righteous mind, Master resolves the tribulations.
Experiencing this tribulation, I looked inward for the reason why I was persecuted. I found that I resented my husband as he would not listen when practitioners told him the truth for so many years. In addition, he did not cook and was very picky about his food. I also found that I was attached to lust, and was jealous and had a strong competitive mentality.
I had all these attachments for a long time. The old forces saw them clearly and took advantage of the situation to persecute me. Realizing my problem, I was ashamed, and thought that I was not worthy of Master’s salvation. From now on, I will pay attention to letting go of my attachments and cultivating my every thought. I want to be a true Dafa cultivator and fulfill my prehistoric vows.
