(Clearwisdom.net) I am from Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, and am an employee of a state-owned enterprise. On May 1, 1999, at around 8:00 p.m., I was riding my bicycle home. It was a rather cold day, and I was not wearing warm clothes. I was riding at a good pace, hoping to get home quickly. Close to home, all of a sudden out of nowhere, a high-speed motorcycle crashed into me head-on. Everything happened so fast, and I did not have time to react. The impact sent me flying through the air, and my head smashed into the ground when I landed. During the few split seconds that everything happened, I was not conscious of anything. However, very quickly when I regained consciousness, the first thought that ran through my mind was "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I must treat other people kindly. I cannot frighten other people." With these thoughts, I hurriedly got up off the ground, and didn't have the slightest thought about whether I was injured or not--all I thought about was conforming to the requirements of the Fa, and being a good person.
It was a young fellow that struck me. He was shocked and frightened. I said to him, "Do not be afraid, I am all right. How about you?" The young fellow responded, "Please let me take you to the hospital for a check up, I will take care of all medical expenses for you." Quickly I explained, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner, everything should be fine and normal." I urged him not to worry. I also asked him to leave since he was in such a rush. He must have an urgent matter to take care of. The young fellow was afraid to leave. Just then, another factory colleague passed by and recognized that the young fellow was also an employee of our factory. After he saw I was hit, he became worried and urged the other to take me to the hospital immediately.
I asked the colleague not to frighten the young guy, and told him that there was nothing wrong with me, and that I was fine, and just needed to go home. I turned around to pick up my bicycle, I was shocked to see the twisted and deformed bike on the ground. The wheels were twisted almost into the shape of a figure "8," and the handle bars were distorted beyond use. One of my shoes was also thrown at least ten meters away.
After reaching home, I sobbingly narrated the whole incident over the phone to a fellow practitioner. I said, "Had it not been for my practicing Falun Dafa and the protection of Master's fashen, I would either be seriously injured or dead by now. Before practicing cultivation, I had a sick body. Master not only took away all of my ailments, but also taught me how to be a good person. Today Master saved my life. I do not understand why people fabricate rumors to defame such a good practice--why are we being arrested for being good people?"
In 1996, around the time when the persecution was slowly starting, the Chinese Propaganda Department banned the publication of "Falun Gong" and other related materials. During the same year, "Guangming Daily," "Qilu Evening News," and a dozen other newspapers launched attacks on Falun Gong. In 1998, the Ministry of Public Security branded Falun Gong as a [slanderous term omitted], and in April 1999, under the pretext of "science," academic He Zuoxiu published another politically-motivated article in a Tianjin magazine, which slandered Falun Gong. The incident led to many practitioners visiting government offices to clarify the truth. This was followed by the Tianjin Public Security Bureau unreasonably arresting more than 40 practitioners. This pattern of unfair treatment finally triggered the April 25 peaceful appeal, leading more than ten thousand practitioners to visit the State Appeals Office in Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong.
That very evening, the young fellow that crashed into me felt uneasy. He came to visit me with another friend and insisted on taking me to the hospital for a check-up. I then clarified to him that I was a cultivator of Falun Gong, that I should be fine, and that I wouldn't accept any compensation from him. Later I learned that he also had to go to work that night, so I asked him to go home to rest, and urged him not to worry too much. I asked him to pay attention to safety while working.
In the evening after the crash, when I took off all my clothes, I saw that my body was swollen and covered with purple and blue bruises. Luckily my husband was at work that night and didn't come home. The next day, in order to prevent other family members from seeing my injuries, I went to stay temporarily with my mother. After around a week's stay, I had fully recovered, and all the bruises and injuries disappeared.
My main purpose in sharing this incident at this time is to tell Cangzhou citizens that Falun Dafa is good, and at this special historical time, they should correctly distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and to clearly recognize that the persecution of Falun Gong is ridiculous and absurd.
