(Clearwisdom.net) When I was in my 20s, before beginning to practice Falun Dafa, I had to stay in the hospital for six months out of the year. After having my baby, I was very weak and had to go to the hospital twice. For a whole year I could not go to work and spent a great deal of money on medical expenses.
In 1997, I began to practice Falun Dafa and benefited both physically and mentally. I was totally changed. I could do the hard jobs that I could not do before. I no longer took any sick time but accomplished a lot at work and became the key contributor for my work unit. I followed Dafa's principles in my daily life and received praise from my co-workers and my family members.
After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, I felt lost and could not understand why the authorities would persecuted such a good practice.
However, I held my firm belief in Teacher the whole time, knowing that Teacher has been looking after me and that there was nothing wrong with practicing Dafa. My work unit asked me to complete a statement promising that I would not practice anymore and demanded that I relinquish my Dafa books and materials. I refused to do so and thus passed that test. I continued to work and followed Dafa's principles in my work. I helped out the young people and was not arrogant.Some new co-workers had just graduated from college and did not know me very well. When they repeated what the TV programs said about Falun Gong, I told them that I practiced Falun Gong and explained to them it was not like what was said on TV. After working with them for a while, they began to know me better and we have worked together harmoniously ever since.
As a teacher, I am responsible for over 100 Grade 11 high school students. I never neglect to tell them that I am a Dafa practitioner. The students also understand me and admire me. The classes that I teach are among the best in the entire school. One day I decided to go to Beijing to validate Dafa, but my husband chased me and brought me back home by car.
In early 2001, the atmosphere everywhere was horrifying. On the bulletin board outside our office, there were pictures of the Tiananmen Square self-immolation. Every student was required to buy books slandering Dafa. I could not stand it anymore. I went to Beijing and shouted out loud at Tiananmen Square a sentence that had been buried in my heart, "Falun Dafa is good! Restore my Teacher's good name!"
A police officer pushed me into a van. A plainclothes officer in the van kicked me, pressed me down on the seat, and kicked my face. My mouth was bleeding. I continued shouting, "Falun Dafa is good." In the Tiananmen Police Station, I told the police that I had come to Beijing to tell everyone that Falun Dafa practitioners were treated unfairly. Falun Dafa tells people to become good by following Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance. I told them the Tiananmen self-immolation was fabricated by the authorities. From their talk, I could tell that they also knew that.
I continued to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to some of the local police officers. Several of them understood and allowed me to do the exercises. They watched me doing the sitting meditation and spoke to each other in low voices, "Qigong must be good for one's health." Some of the police officers also tried to sit in the lotus position. In our local city police station, I calmly clarified the truth about Falun Gong to the police. I was kept in the detention center until the next afternoon and came out with righteous thoughts. I didn't write any "Guarantee Letter." Later on, I found out that my husband had secured my release with some gifts.
When the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was first published, our local area held some brainwashing sessions. Several practitioners in my work unit were required to attend. I went to see a leader in my work unit and asked him why he did not protect Falun Dafa practitioners and say a just word for them. He said, "I know you are good people. It's orders from above. I could not prevent it. I felt I could do nothing." I asked some other leaders why they had not asked me to attend the brainwashing session. The person in charge told me, "They do not want you to attend." They knew that even if I went, they would still be unable to "transform" me. For each person they "transform," they receive a bonus, but if they cannot "transform" someone, they are punished.
I have been practicing Falun Dafa for nearly 10 years. I cannot remember how many times I have burst into tears holding the Dafa books or how many times I have done the exercises with tears running down my cheeks. On the path of validating the Fa and assisting Teacher, I have become more and more stable. My road is becoming wider and wider. I will never be ungrateful for Teacher's merciful salvation and I will continue to bring the beauty of Dafa to every predestined person.
