(Minghui.org) I’m a village woman. I’ve had good health since practicing Falun Dafa, and my family has also benefited, including my husband, two daughters, and our grandson. We live a happy life. I understand why people came to this world and what the meaning of being human is. I also believe that people should follow the characteristics of the universe, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to be good.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. The police, officials in our township and village officials visited all Falun Dafa practitioners’ homes and forbade us from practicing Falun Dafa. They took us to the county’s Domestic Security Division, where we were detained for one day and two nights. They did not release us until our families were forced to pay 200 yuan ($29). We were then taken to a brainwashing center in the township government and detained for six days. They also arrested my husband and told him to force me to renounce Dafa. Nothing could change my mind, regardless of what methods they adopted.
After that, prior to sensitive days for the CCP, the police would come to practitioners’ homes to make arrests or harass practitioners. Our families and the villagers worried about us whenever they saw police cars enter the village.
I had never expected that such a good practice, which teaches people to be good and benefits the people and the country, would be subjected to persecution. I wanted to go to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa. I wanted to tell the government what had actually happened to me, how Dafa teaches people to value virtue and do good deeds, and how the practice can improve people’s health and save on medical fees.
My younger brother and I took a train to Beijing, but we were intercepted by the police at the stop after our provincial capital. We were illegally detained at the train station’s police station for two days. Officers from our township government later picked us up, took us back, and held us in the local detention center.
I did the Falun Dafa exercises, and the guard ordered drug addicts to beat me. One of my ribs was broken, my eyes were swollen, and there was a big bump on my back. The guards and drug addicts also cursed us. I did not hit or curse back.
On the night of the second day, a drug addict kicked me so hard that I woke up. She, however, complained of foot pain. She then told two other addicts to kick me. Both said, “Our feet hurt when we kick her, so we won’t do it.” After midnight, the inmate who had beaten me cried loudly and shouted, “I hurt all over my body.” She also threw her quilt aside.
I felt sorry and sad for her, and thought, “Didn’t you act viciously toward a Dafa practitioner?” But I immediately thought that I was wrong: “I cultivate Falun Dafa, Master teaches us to be tolerant. My thought was not kind, and it should be abandoned. She has been deceived by the lies spread by the communist specter, and that’s why she is so hateful to Dafa practitioners.”
I went over and covered her with the blanket. She saw it was me and said, “Leave me alone, I’m dying.” I told her, “You should cherish your life. Master Li said that it’s not easy for people to come to this world; we acquire a human body once every few hundred or a few thousand years, so you should cherish it.” She said, “Please tell me more. I feel much better after hearing what you said.”
She cried loudly again at noon the next day. She bumped her head against the wall and said, “Sister Li, I’m so sorry! I’ve hit so many people, and I’ve never shed a tear. I hit you, but you did not resent me. Instead, you even took care of me.”
I said, “Master teaches me to do so. You are actually the real victims. You’ve been deceived by the communist specter’s lies and made unaware of the principles of being human, and it has prevented you from understanding what Falun Dafa is about.” She cried and said, “Sister Li, if you had been by my side earlier, I wouldn’t have become like this.”
An officer from the procuratorate said to me, “Young lady, be quick to write a renunciation statement, and you can be released.” This officer was older, so I called him “Uncle Li.” I said, “Uncle Li, I used to be bad-tempered, and I always swore at people. My master teaches me to be a good person, and I’ve improved my temper. You’re now asking me to write a renunciation statement. Do you want me to regret being a good person and become a bad person?”
He did not say anything after hearing what I said. He must have realized that he was not right. The next day, he said to me again, “If it is good, you just practice at home, and don’t let others know.” I said, “Master teaches me to be a good person. If I see others facing danger, I should tell them how to escape the danger. If I know danger is in store for someone, but I do not tell him, how can I be called a good person?” He didn’t reply.
A guard walked up to me with a bamboo stick, intending to hit me. While walking, he asked, “You, say if Falun Dafa is good or not.” I said, “Falun Dafa is good.” Inmates around me were worried about me. After hearing my reply, the guard, however, threw away the stick and said, “I ran into a stubborn one today,” then left. I knew compassionate and great Master had protected me! Thank you, Master!
On the night of the 17th day after my rib was broken, I had a dream: my sister-in-law and my older sister brought me a bowl of Chinese medicine. My sister-in-law said, “Your rib was broken, if you drink this bowl of Chinese medicine, your bone will be fine.” I said, “I’m a practitioner, and Master takes care of me.” I poured out the bowl of Chinese medicine. I then woke up.
My rib was healed the next morning. It was Master who reconnected my ribs.
I told this experience to my loved ones, and they said it was like a fairy tale. It is truly a fairy tale happening today. People around me have all witnessed the miraculous effects of Falun Dafa.
