(Minghui.org) I am a 73-year old woman, and I began my cultivation in Falun Dafa in 1999, the year the persecution of Dafa started in China. Over the years, I have been in quite a few seemingly dangerous situations, but I’ve always managed to get through them safely. Master has been watching over and protecting me through all my trials and tribulations.
I have been filled with courage and confidence and know that righteous thoughts can break through any difficulties. I often remind myself that when Master and the great Fa are with me, what should I be afraid of?
I would like to share one of my experiences with the police and a labor camp.
A few practitioners and I went to an experience sharing conference in the spring of 2002. On the way home, we were arrested by domestic security officers from Xiaohengshan District, Jixi City and put in Jixi No. 2 Detention Center.
On the morning of May 13, Master's birthday, I woke up and my third eye saw that Master was standing next to me. I cried. Several other practitioners also saw Master.
The police were going to take us to the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp on June 11. All my children came to the detention center to visit me on the day we left. When they saw me, they all cried.
I said to them, “Don't cry. Mom is going on a 'tour' and will be back soon.”
On our way to the forced labor camp in Harbin City, I could feel very strongly that Master was with me. I had a thought, “No one at my home is receiving Dafa truth clarification materials for me. I must go home to receive them. I can't stay in the forced labor camp. I have work to do!”
The labor camp required a physical examination, so we were taken to a hospital before being put in the camp itself. Then we were escorted to the labor camp entrance.
The police officers told the other practitioners to go in, but I wasn’t allowed admittance, “You can't go in. Your lung is rotten and has a lot of holes.”
I thought that was nonsense, but then realized, “Oh, this is Master's arrangement for me to go home.” I was refused by the forced labor camp for medical reasons even though I was fine!
Before going back home, the police wanted to tour Taiyang Island, and they took me with them. We went on a tour boat, and I sat in the front seat. It was very windy, and the waves were high.
One officer said, “Elderly ladies shouldn't sit in the front. Be careful not to fall in the water.”
I told him, “Maybe the boat would really flip and sink if I were not on it.”
In the evening, the captain took me to his older sister's home. It was dark, and I went to bed without turning on the light. When I woke up the next morning, I saw that there were a lot of photos of Master in the room.
I realized that the captain's sister was also a practitioner. I then saw that Master was moving in one of the photos. I knew that Master was encouraging me, and I cried again.
When we got to Mudanjiang City, we went to visit Jingbo Lake. It, too, was very windy, and the waves on the lake were very high. The police asked me if I wanted to go on another boat tour. I said no. Because I didn't want to go, none of officers dared to take the boat tour.
We arrived at our home town that evening. They then drove by my home, but didn’t stop. I told them that I wanted to go home, but the officers didn't say anything.
I was taken directly to Hengshan Domestic Security Division and shackled to the heating pipes on the fifth floor. I knew that they wanted to extort money from me and warned them that they would not succeed.
My family came to get me, and the captain asked my daughter for money. I told her not to give the police any money. My daughter told him that none of them had any money, and she wanted to take me home.
I told my daughter, “I won't go with you. They arrested me, now they have to take me back.”
In the end, the police drove me back home. They informed me, “You are basically on bail for one year. You can't freely go wherever you want.”
I know that only Master has the final say on what happens to me. Later, I found out that they had extorted 2,000yuan from my daughter.
Once home, I got right back to doing the three things asked of a Falun Dafa disciple.
