My Daughter Was Ruined by Being Brainwashed at a Forced-Labor Camp

March 16, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) My daughter started practicing Falun Gong in February 1998. She improved greatly in both mind and body after the practice.

In the past, due to my poor health, I was not able to take care of myself, not to mention educate my daughter. My daughter was very sloppy in her studies. Each day after school, she would sit beside the TV set, watching TV while doing her homework. Her school grades were very poor then, as one can imagine.

After my daughter obtained Falun Dafa, surprisingly, she started to change, which made us very happy. She learned how to strictly discipline herself, considered others first and enjoyed helping others. Her school grades kept going up; she even got the highest score in her class in the examination for computer skills. In June 1999, when I went to school to pick her up, her teacher praised her in front of me for half an hour. This had never happened before since she'd been at that school. As a mother, I cannot tell you how happy I was then. I knew well that this was the power of Falun Dafa manifesting through her. She respected seniors and cared for children. She enjoyed studying and was willing to offer help to others. She became an excellent child that everyone praised.

Then, Falun Dafa, the practice that made her an outstanding girl, was slandered by the Chinese government. When they were confusing white with black, my daughter put down everything and went out to clarify the truth to people for the purpose of safeguarding Dafa and saving people. She went to the Beijing Petition Bureau to appeal twice and also went to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa.

The evil forces sent my child to the detention center and then to a forced-labor camp, where she was brainwashed 24-hour a day without allowing her to see any family members or friends. She was forbidden to read Dafa books, to do Falun Gong exercises, and to communicate with any other Dafa practitioners. In such a vicious environment, my daughter dropped into the mud and enlightened along an evil path. After she returned from the forced-labor camp, she became self-centered and did whatever she liked without considering others. Now, instead of seeking spiritual growth and improving her mind nature as she used to, she only seeks fun in life and fights with her parents whenever she gets home from school. The atmosphere of our family, which used to be very harmonious, has now become very tense. Her father said, "This child has been ruined by staying in the forced-labor camp for a few months." We all feel very sad.

I cannot say how miserable I feel as a mother. If I did not practice Falun Dafa as well, I might even risk my own life to fight with these vicious beings. They ruined my wonderful child.
