(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 1998. During all these years of practice and studying of the profound Dafa, I have come to understand the true meaning of life. Before I came across Dafa, I fought with others for fame and gain and was very sentimental. I would quarrel with others for a little bit of interest. After I read the book Zhuan Falun, I realized that all these were attachments that I had to let go of. So I cultivated myself strictly according to the requirements set by Teacher and by the Fa. Dafa is miraculous and Teacher is merciful. On the seventh day after I began my practice, Teacher started to purify my body. I had suffered from stomach disease for many years. I often had stomachache, acid reflux, and distension, and I vomited mouthfuls of fluid (with blood) which made me feel like I was going to die. On the evening of the seventh day, I began to vomit fluid and I vomited twice. Each time I vomited a whole basin. After vomiting, I felt my body was extremely light and I felt so comfortable. Our venerable and merciful Teacher saved my life and dispelled the diseases that I had for such a long time. This was the miracle created by Dafa. So I was more determined in cultivation of Dafa.
After July 20, 1999, Dafa was oppressed and persecuted. The pressures from my family, my work unit and society pressed down on me. But I had only one thought in my heart--that Teacher required me to be a good person according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. This was not wrong. I made up my mind to go to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. At that time, I thought the government was still sensible. So I went to tell them "Falun Dafa is good" and "Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa." But justice was not returned as I expected. In reality I was illegally detained and my home was raided.
At a prison in Harbin City, the perpetrators tied practitioners' arms using thin nylon ropes and hung us from the roof. They said to us: "We won’t let you down until you tell us your home address." [Note: due to the Chinese Communist Party's policy of implicating and persecuting family members, associates and work units, Falun Gong practitioners often refuse to reveal their names and addresses when they are arrested]. We were hung like this for an entire afternoon. Due to the torture, we finally gave our addresses. We were then let down. Both of my arms were dislocated and my shoulders were bruised with two deep cuts. I could circle my arms but could not lift them. Amazingly I didn’t feel any pain. After we returned back to the cell, we continued our studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. Because we were unable to lift our arms, we could only stand there when doing the exercises. I could feel the wound wriggling around the clock. We knew that Teacher was purifying our bodies. In less than two days I could lift my arms again and then recovered completely. The inmates saw this and said, "Falun Dafa is truly miraculous." We again witnessed the wondrousness of Dafa.
At the prison we saw the guards slap practitioners’ faces with clothes hangers, leaving their faces with spider-web-like bruises.
Another practitioner was quite tall and her feet touched ground when she was hung up. The prison guard then made her stand on the hot heating plates of the central radiator with her stretched arms tied to the heating pipes for an entire day and night.
A female guard specifically kicked the bone joints of practitioners’ bodies, causing them to scream due to the intense pain.
Later, they sent us back to the local prison. The police said they wouldn’t release us until we wrote the three statements, promising to give up Falun Gong. We instead wrote stories of practitioners’ validation of the Fa. The police refused to take them. They then asked family members to write the statements for us. We reluctantly agreed, and then we were released. (We were wrong on this aspect. We hereby declare that the statements our family members wrote for us are null and void.) But we were determined in our hearts that no matter how rampantly the evil party persecuted Dafa, we would not waver a bit in our cultivation of Dafa and we would follow Teacher until the completion of our cultivation.
After I came back home, my husband swore at me and beat me out of fear. But I still patiently clarified the truth and explained the Fa principles to him to save him.
For these past several years, under Teacher’s merciful protection and with my determination and righteous thoughts, the environment around me has improved a lot. We cultivate together and our xinxing has been elevated.
Teacher’s protection of us manifests everywhere. I have experienced it so many times. Just two examples are as follows: 1) My daughter had an accident and was electrically shocked. The plug was melted and glued to her hand, but she wasn’t injured at all. 2) My son was riding a bike. A car with a strong headlight drove from the other direction toward him. He didn’t see a mound of earth in front of him because of the strong light, and he drove his bike straight into the mound. The front wheel was twisted and he was thrown out about a meter, but he wasn’t injured at all. (My son and daughter are both practitioners and Teacher helped them.) The above examples verified, "The Buddha-Light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities." (Zhuan Falun)
