Master Always Protects Me

(Minghui.org) I’m 59 years old and I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. I went through countless difficult and dangerous tribulations but I overcame them with Master’s benevolent protection.

Master Saved Me and Helped Me Return Home

In the winter of 2001, the practitioners in my area mailed numerous truth-clarification letters to the workplace leaders. The people who were persecuting practitioners treated me as a suspect. The office director and security chief of my workplace pressured me to admit I mailed the letters. They asked me to choose, “Practice Falun Dafa or continue working?” I clarified the truth to them, but they would not listen.

The reason my workplace intended to make use of this matter to frame me was because I was taken to a brainwashing center two months before. When it was near the Mid-Autumn festival, the 610 Office head found me to “have a talk,” saying that he wanted to “take care of me” and help me go home. He meant he wanted me to bribe him. I went back to my workplace and did not return to the brainwashing center. This angered him, and he arranged a person from the 610 Office to call me. He threatened me and said, “You want to work without being transformed? See how we are going to deal with you!”

Less than a week after I returned to work my boss received instructions from the 610 Office head to hand me a document stating they were going to stop my salary and fire me. A month later, four police officers arrested me and took me to the brainwashing center.

The 610 Office thugs were especially fierce towards me. They deprived me of food and bathroom use. They handcuffed one of my hands and I was hung up on a very high bed post all night.

I was transferred to the local detention center the next day. While I was detained there, I recited the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts. I also clarified the truth about the persecution to the detainees. Three days later, a young woman was sent in, and I learned that she was also a practitioner. We both clarified the truth, memorized Hong Yin and Master’s articles, and encouraged each other.

Eight days later a cleaning staff told me, “I saw a card on their table and your name was on it. It was written that they won’t give you food tomorrow morning and will send you to a forced labor camp for three years.”

I was initially upset, but I quickly calmed down. I thought, “Master is by my side. No matter where I go, I will clarify the truth and save sentient beings. Master decides everything!” The other practitioner asked, “Aren’t you afraid?” I replied, “I have Master and the Fa. Practitioners cannot succumb to the evil. Master decides everything!”

After we ate dinner the other practitioner and I sent forth righteous thoughts. After a while, I suddenly felt remorse and sadness. I really regretted not being able to clarify the truth to more people before I was detained. I also regretted not being able to finish distributing truth-clarification materials to the villages near my family’s home. The more I thought about it, the worse I felt. I wished that I had wings so I could fly out of the detention center and distribute materials to those villages.

My legs felt sore, so I lay down. As soon as I lay down my mouth began foaming. Everyone was scared. The practitioner ran to the window and shouted, “Someone come quickly!” A guard ran over and asked, “What are you shouting about?” The practitioner replied, “Take a look!” The guard entered the cell, saw my state and reported to the chief. He called four people to take me to the hospital.

In the emergency room, I saw the detention center chief looked frightened. He was probably afraid of being held responsible if I died so he stood by my bedside and kept telling me, “You’ll recover very soon.” The doctors were all nervously conducting tests on me.

Apart from foaming at the mouth, I did not feel anything was wrong with my body.

When I was brought into the ward, I saw the 610 Office personnel came and they were mumbling something. I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, the 610 Office personnel and the detention center people were gone.

A nurse noticed I was awake and said, “You gave everyone a big scare last night. We were busy treating you all night.” I said, “Thank you. Where are the people who brought me here?” She said, “They paid 300 yuan and left.”

I thought they must be afraid of being held accountable for my death, so they left. When the doctors came I told one that I wanted to be discharged. He said, “I didn’t expect you’d recover so fast.” He persuaded me to stay in the hospital for observation for another day. I refused and took a cab home.

After returning home, my family and fellow practitioners were worried about me. They were afraid the police would come back and abduct me if they found out that I recovered and went home. I told them, “Master helped me. No one can interfere.” The police did not come or harass me.

I know this happened because Master saw I had the wish to save people. He helped me have illness symptoms so I could escape and not spend three years at a forced labor camp.

Incarcerated in a Forced Labor Camp for the Second Time

Before the Beijing Olympics in 2008, there was mass arrest of Falun Dafa practitioners in my city, and I was one of them. The Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Domestic Security Division planned to send 50 people to forced labor camps. Some practitioners were sentenced to prison. Nearly 200 additional practitioners were detained at the brainwashing center.

One morning at the end of May 2008, I was riding my electric bike to work when a black car drove up and squeezed me to the roadside, making me fall off my bike. The Domestic Security Division chief and a few police officers handcuffed me and dragged me into a car.

The police took my keys and went to my home to arrest my husband who was also a practitioner. When he heard they were the police, he locked the door. They could not unlock it and finally left, leaving the broken key in the keyhole. They sent a fire truck and used a crane to reach my house, broke the window, entered, and arrested my husband. The police ransacked my house and took away all the valuables.

My husband and I were detained at the police station in two separate rooms. They interrogated and threatened us for four days, but to no avail.

They wanted to detain me, but the detention center refused to accept me. The Domestic Security Division’s deputy chief then brought me to the city hospital to issue a false certificate and forced the detention center to keep me.

About half of the people in the room I was detained in were practitioners. The guards did not arrange for me to work because I could not use my right leg. Apart from memorizingHong Yin and Master’s lectures, I sent forth righteous thoughts. At night, I clarified the truth, persuaded the detainees to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations and taught them to sing songs practitioners composed. While working, the other practitioners also clarified the truth to the detainees and persuaded them to quit the CCP. I cooperated with the other practitioners, and we finally helped all the detainees in the room quit the CCP. The people who understood the truth respected us.

Chen, the cell head, was about twenty three years old. After understanding the truth, she asked me to teach her how to sing the song “Be Saved,” which was written by Dafa practitioners. She also listened when I recited poems from Hong Yin.

There was another young woman, called Cong, who was seventeen years old. She had a stomachache and was in great pain. I asked her to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She said, “I feel like I’m going to die. Will this really work?” I told her it would if she recited the phrases sincerely. She just recited for a short while and then happily said her stomach no longer ached.

Afterwards, she always sat with me. At night I told her about traditional culture, and explained how to be a good person. I recited the poem “An Upright Person” in Hong Yin. She asked me to write the poem on a small piece of paper and she recited it.

She once secretly came to me and said, “My mother treated me badly and often beat me. I left home when I was twelve years old. I met a human trafficker when I was fifteen years old. When I was on the train to be trafficked, I stabbed the trafficker’s thigh when he was not prepared, and I took the chance to escape. After that, I met a man who had been to the army before. This time, both of us were captured and sent here. The people in my circle are all pornographic and murderous. It was only until I met you that I knew that there are still good people.”

She said, “It would be wonderful if I had a mother like you. I would not have left home or ended up here. After I leave here, I will definitely turn over a new leaf.” I felt happy for her.

One morning, a guard came to me and said, “We aren’t going to send you to a forced labor camp. You can go home, but your husband has been sent to a forced labor camp.” My family and my boss came and took me home.

When I returned home, my sister-in-law, a practitioner, told me that my husband was sent to a forced labor camp that morning. I said, “We’re practitioners so everything is decided by Master. Let’s help him by sending forth righteous thoughts, and totally disintegrate the negative entities. Let’s ask Master to empower him so he can assist Master in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings.” My sister-in-law and I sent forth righteous thoughts for a very long time for my husband.

Around 5 p.m. my older brother received a phone call from the police station, saying that the forced labor camp rejected my husband because his health was poor, so they asked him to bring my husband home. No words could describe my gratitude to Master. My daughter exclaimed, “Thank you, Master, for saving my father and mother and bringing them home!” He returned home around 6 p.m.

When I recall how Master protected me as I overcame tests and tribulations, I know I must cultivate diligently and I dare not slack off. That is because I know that Master saved me and helped me return home, so that I can do the three things well. In this limited precious time when the Fa-rectification is coming to an end, I will do my best to fulfill my sacred mission to assist Master in rectifying the Fa.
