(Clearwisdom.net) A female Falun Gong practitioner in a rural area often carries truth-clarification materials when visiting relatives in other areas. She takes opportunities to clarify the truth face-to-face and distributes materials from village to village.
One day, her sister-in-law went with her to distribute truth-clarification materials. Because they were not familiar with the area, they were spotted by someone and reported to the police. The police came and forcefully took them away. The police interrogated them to find out the source of the materials. The practitioner comforted her sister-in-law saying, "Don't be afraid. Just say you don't know anything and that I'm responsible." She was sending righteous thoughts while thinking, "These materials are used to save sentient beings. I will not tell you where they came from no matter what."
They were taken to Sangshutai, and later taken back to Gongzhuling Political & Security Section by the Gongzhuling State Security Division. They were detained for 15 days. While being detained in the Gongzhuling City Detention Center, she went on a hunger strike to protest the arrest. She refused to memorize prison regulations, refused to put on prison clothes and insisted on doing Falun Gong exercises, sending righteous thoughts, and denying the old forces' arrangement. She said to Teacher in her heart, "I only walk on the path arranged by you, this is not the place I'm supposed to stay. I need to go out and save sentient beings."
A few days later, people from the Political & Security Section brought some papers and asked her to sign them. They said that after she signed they would release her. She does not know how to read many words, but she does know that she cannot trust the police, so she firmly refused to sign the papers. Then they asked her sister-in-law to sign for her. At that time the practitioner thought, "She will not sign." Her sister-in-law saw "3-year prison term" on the paper and refused to sign also. The scheme by these police officers thus failed. When they forcefully put the prison term paper in the practitioner's hands, she immediately tore the paper up.
Later the instructor of the forced labor camp secretly told her, "You did the right thing by refusing to sign. They couldn't do anything about it." A few days later, they put her in a car and said that they would send her home. Her sister-in-law was very anxious. However, the practitioner said, "Whatever they say means nothing. They will have to send me back the same way they brought me there." So without any legal procedures, they took her to Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City.
She did not have any fear. She sent righteous thoughts while asking for Teacher's help. During the normal physical check-up, several parts of her body displayed symptoms of illness and the X-ray showed what appeared to be a large tumor in her uterus. A further examination was needed. The people who brought her there were anxious due to the amount of money that would have to be spent on the tests. They took the doctor aside and prepared a fake medical record. The practitioner realized that she should not leave the arrangements to them, so she found an opportunity and told another doctor, "The medical record that they filled out is fake. If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself. Just now during the check-up, the doctor said that I'm seriously ill." So that doctor said, "Let me check it." Upon reading the original record, the doctor told those police officers, "Being so seriously ill, we cannot accept her." In the end, the officers gave up and had to bring her back to the detention center.
She asked for Teacher's help and asked that all of her old illness symptoms would reappear. The next day she developed convulsions and the detention center didn't dare to keep her. The State Security Division and the Political & Security Section were afraid to take responsibility for her life, so they told her family members to take her back home. The police still did not want to let her go, so they asked one of her family members to bring her medical records and sign a paper promising to return her in two months (At that time the practitioner was unaware of this). They threatened not to release her if the family member didn't sign, so her family member signed it.
Thus with righteous thoughts and righteous actions and being strengthened by Teacher and other practitioners, the practitioner left the detention center. After she returned to her home, her health quickly recovered through Fa study and doing the exercises. Quoting her words, "I know clearly that there is no sickness." Two to three months quickly passed and the State Security Division again came and asked her to return her medical records. They threatened, "If you do not return the records, we will take you as well." Although she understood that she should not give them the medical records and she should not go along with their evil schemes, at that time she was the only one at home. Four or five police officers from the State Security Team forcefully took her away like criminals kidnapping someone. They again wanted to take her to the detention center, but the staff in the detention center said, "She is so seriously ill and she even has convulsions. Why did you bring her here? We will not take her."
The practitioner was constantly sending righteous thoughts and denying the evil forces' arrangement. Then, police from the State Security Division started quarrelling with the staff in the detention center. The detention center refused to take her, so they had to take her to the Political & Security Section. The police wanted to imprison her, but no one would take her. Still, they were reluctant to release her.
They ran out of schemes, so they said, "We will send you to have a physical exam. If you really have an illness we will release you." They notified her family members. She thought, "None of my family members should take care of this. If you want the physical exam, you will have to pay the money yourself." However, her son was worried about her and brought the money with him. The police then took this opportunity and said, "You go ahead and have the examination done." The exam did find a few problems, but nothing serious. At this time the police said, "We will meet you half-way. You fill out the medical record stating that you have a serious illness so that we can release you." Her heart was moved at the opportunity, but immediately she understood: "We are cultivating Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. We need to walk righteously. I should only write down the facts." At this time the doctor said that there were a few items that needed to be re-checked. So the police said, "Go ahead and do your check, we are leaving."
So she and her son took a taxi and went home. Twice, she was able to defeat the persecution. She enlightened to this: "Only when we firmly believe in Teacher and eliminate fear, can we break through the old forces' arrangement, and walk righteously on our path because Teacher is at our side all the time."
