(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa 16 years ago when I was facing a divorce and suffering from various diseases. It was Falun Dafa that helped me gain mental and physical health, and saved my marriage. To help other people benefit from this wonderful practice as I did, I began to introduce Falun Dafa to my fellow teachers, and several of them also began to practice.
Before the persecution, my school's administrators were very supportive and they opened the gym for us to use. Over a hundred people from all walks of life joined us to practice the exercises and we studied the Fa together. My life was simple and filled with happiness.
While I focused on cultivating diligently, the persecution began in 1999. My school administration and people from the local police station talked to me, and they also restricted my personal freedom. Regardless of what was going on around me, I never stopped clarifying the facts to people, particularly to those who persecuted me. With my help, some understood the truth, and quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
I was illegally arrested in 2006, and my home was ransacked. However, four days after I was incarcerated, the person who reported me to the police, died in a car accident. His son who had just gotten married a month earlier also died, and his daughter-in-law was in a vegetative state. The local CCP were stunned.
I kept reciting the Fa, practicing the exercises and clarifying the facts to people every day in the detention center. I also helped a detainee to quit the CCP the first night I was detained. She listened to me telling her the beauty of Falun Gong and the truth of the persecution every evening. As a result, she was released after being detained for only nine months instead of receiving a twelve-year sentence as expected for the type of crime that she committed. Understanding the facts of Falun Gong brought her good returns.
On the third day, the head of the Domestic Security Team brought some clothes for me from my home. Even though the detention center checked everything, I found Master’s portrait and a pin with “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in one pocket. I thanked Master with tears in my eyes.
A week later, my children came to see me and brought me more clothes. They secretly handed me a Falun emblem. I knew that Master used that opportunity to encourage me to be strong, so I became even more steadfast. I was released six weeks later.
As soon as I returned home in August 2012, my husband angrily told me that the police station wanted me to go there. He also dragged me to the window and said, “See those people downstairs? They’re coming up here to get you soon.”
I told myself that they had come to hear the truth, so I must save them. They were manipulated by the evil forces and did not understand the truth of Falun Gong. I was not afraid of them at all.
The doorbell rang, and a group of officers from the 610 Office and the police station came after my son. I told them, “The person who reported on me last time met with tribulations. Have you forgotten about that? I don’t want to see the same thing happen to you, but you must stop assisting the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, otherwise the consequences could be bad.”
My righteous thoughts eliminated the evil forces that controlled them, and they all left. As they walked out, I told them one more time, “Please give yourself a good future, you must not participate in the persecution of Falun Gong and its practitioners!” One of them promised, “Okay, Okay.”
After they left, my son told me that more than 20 people had come to arrest me on my way home, but for some reason, they did not see me when I returned.
I told him, “Maybe Master protected me. As long as we have righteous thoughts, Master will protect us.” My son replied, “It’s a miracle.”
Someone from my school called and told me that people from the 610 Office and the brainwashing center wanted to talk to me. I told the caller that I did not want them to bother my family. He then called again and said that they would come to my office instead. At first I did not want to meet them, but then I changed my mind because it could be a good opportunity for me to clarify the facts to them.
Over two dozen came. I told them that I did not have much time since I needed to go home soon to look after my two grandchildren, and also go to the hospital to see my son’s father-in-law who was hospitalized.
I asked for their names, but none of them dared to give me their names. Two of them even wanted to immediately leave. I told them that they were all fooled by the CCP’s propaganda. I warned them that if they participated in the persecution of Falun Gong, they would meet with retribution. They all left in a somber mood.
The 610 Office later begged me to promise them that I would stop practicing Falun Gong. I replied, “Falun Gong is practiced by people in over a hundred countries. Only the CCP prohibits us from practicing, why should I stop?”
A person from the 610 Office told me that he received some Falun Gong DVDs, but instead of reporting the practitioner to the police, he gave the DVDs to his wife who quickly returned them. He wanted me to tell him that he did a good job. I told him that the practitioner had placed treasures in his hands, but he pushed them away. I told him if they received Falun Gong DVDs again in the future, they must watch them because his entire family would benefit from the information. He was very happy to hear what I told him.
