(Minghui.org) I could feel Master's constant protection the entire time I was persecuted in prison.
In July, 1998, Master’s lecture video was shown in my village and I was immediately drawn to it. The first time I listened, I went to sleep. When I woke up, the lecture had ended, and I regretted that I had fallen asleep.
The next day I went back and listened to Master’s lecture video again.
Master said:
“A few individuals may fall asleep and wake up as soon as I finish my lecture. Why is that? It is because their brains have illnesses that need to be treated. One will be unable to stand it if one’s brain is worked on. Therefore, one must be put into a state of anesthesia or become unconscious.” (Lecture Two in Zhuan Falun )
After I listened to the videos I suddenly realized that while I listened, the headaches which had tortured me for many years were gone, and they never returned! Master removed them completely for me.
I used to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and when it was severe, I couldn't even pick up the rice paddle. I could not manage my personal life. After I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises, the disease was healed. I also experienced many positive changes and my personality became mild. As a result my family life was peaceful.
In July 1999, Master and Dafa began being slandered by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and I felt terrible. The local Party officials wanted to destroy my Dafa books. I thought that such wonderful books should not be taken away, not even one. I held this thought and as a result nothing bad happened. I thought the Fa was so good and that no matter what anyone said, I would definitely study it.
I put more effort into studying and memorizing the Fa. Even when I did my field work, I still kept reciting the Fa. With a deeper understanding of the Fa, I realized that while Dafa was being persecuted, I was just benefiting from the practice and was not standing up to protect the Fa. This was not right. I decided to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. Eight or nine practitioners and I went to Beijing, but before we were able to display our banner on Tiananmen Square, we were arrested by police and I was sent to the local jail.
I opposed the persecution by refusing to eat. The guards brutally pushed the food through a tube in my nose and forced the other practitioners to watch. The guards said that whoever refused to eat would be treated just like me. In order to not frighten my fellow practitioners, I endured the pain without uttering any sound.
After I was tortured and forced to take liquid food through the nose, I was given a bed cover and told to sleep in the stairway. When I woke up, I felt my body was warm. Master healed my previous condition of poor circulation in my arms and legs and cold limbs. Since then I haven't felt cold even when I did not wear warm shoes during the winter.
Fellow practitioners and I were imprisoned for one month and then released. After only ten days, we were again tricked and taken back to the provincial labor camp. The guards forced us to recite the jail regulations and to admit that we were criminals. Because I refused to recite, my hands were bound up and I was hung up on a big iron door at the stairs.
That was in November and it was very cold. In the evening it became colder, but I felt a warm current flow through my body. I deeply appreciated Master’s strengthening and protection.
The guards forced practitioners to go out into the yard to do exercises while they held electric batons in their hands. I did not move. They grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me into their office. Four guards hit me and kicked me with all their strength. I did not feel any pain, which drove them crazy. I knew Master was protecting me again.
As I handed out truth-clarifying materials in 2004, I was reported to the authorities and taken to jail. To protest, I refused to eat for one month and was sent to the hospital. While I was hospitalized, the court officials came and sentenced me to a three-and-a-half-year prison term. While I was very weak, they forced me to go to the provincial level jail. The jail didn't want to take me but the police refused to take me back and left me there.
There were over one hundred prisoners there, but only three were Dafa practitioners. We became the targets for abuse because we practiced Falun Gong. Once, while I was practicing the sitting meditation, someone suddenly pushed me out of the bed. I landed on my face and a big lump formed on my forehead. However, I immediately felt the Falun rotating in my forehead and soon the injury was healed.
On another occasion, I was sitting on my bed doing the sitting meditation. Someone suddenly pulled my shoulder and dragged me to the ground. I did not lose my Jieyin hand position and kept practicing the sitting meditation. After I separated my hands, I felt a huge pain in my shoulder. I felt that my shoulder had shifted from its normal position. I endured the pain and kept doing the exercises. On the third day when I was doing the sitting meditation, I felt a hand press on my shoulder and put it back into its original position. After that I was back to normal. I knew Master had again healed my injury.
I realized that the guards were putting some kind of drugs in my food because I had diarrhea for over one year. I only weighed 30 to 35 kilograms and I had no energy.
One night, I lay in bed and could not get up. My mind was blank. The guard told the prisoners to keep eye on me and said that I might die that night. One of the prisoners kept putting his hand under my nose to see if I had died or not. I had a clear conscience and tried hard to remember Master’s words. Master helped me remember the poems in Hong Yin . I kept reciting them until my righteous thoughts arose. I instantly sat up and sent forth righteous thoughts for a long time. The next day I came back to life and afterwards my energy level improved day by day.
