(Clearwisdom.net) On March 14, 2009, Ms. Wang Meiying, who worked at the Chiping County Radio and Television Bureau in Shandong Province, was arrested by plainclothes officers from the Zhenxing Residential Area Police Station, Chiping County, for distributing truth-clarification materials and clarifying the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. Two days after her arrest, Ms. Wang was sentenced to forced labor and sent to the Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp, which is also the Shandong Provincial No. 1 Women's Labor Camp. Seven days later, on March 23, as a result of persecution, she died in the labor camp. Her fellow practitioners were deeply grieved on learning this news.

Ms. Wang used to suffer from all sorts of illnesses and had to rely on medication all year round. Since learning Falun Gong in 1997, she soon reached a state where her body felt very light and was free of illness. She knew that Falun Gong had given her a second life; therefore, she talked to whomever she met about how Falun Gong had helped her. Due to her openness, more than a dozen people had the opportunity to learn Falun Gong.

On July 20, 1999, when the inhuman persecution against Falun Gong started, Falun Gong was grievously wronged and numerous people were deceived by the lies spread by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). To restore the name of Falun Gong and Teacher, Ms. Wang, like tens of thousands of practitioners, went to Beijing to appeal. She was arrested and taken back to her hometown by officers from the Chiping County 610 Office, and was detained for two days before being released. In March 2000, during the Chinese People's National Conference and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Ms. Wang returned to Tiananmen Square in Beijing and shouted "Falun Gong is good!" She was promptly arrested by police from the Tiananmen Square Police Station , escorted back to Chiping County by police from the local 610 Office, and detained in the county detention center. After she was held there for more than a month, the local authorities threatened her and told her to write a statement guaranteeing she would not practice Falun Gong any more. They said that if she refused to write the guarantee statement, they would not release her. She was not scared by their words, and took the pen and wrote, "I steadfastly practice Falun Gong," which showed the firm belief of a true practitioner.

Under the compassionate care of Teacher she returned home safe and sound. She immediately plunged herself into the role of saving sentient beings and validating the Fa, and began to clarify the truth to the local residents.

On April 25, 2003, the CCP was able to run rampant because very few practitioners stepped forward to openly clarify the truth. The authorities stated that they would arrest all practitioners who had distributed or posted truth-clarification materials. Ms. Wang thought that practitioners should not be intimidated by these threats, but instead should display their mighty virtue and step forward to validate the Fa and clarify the truth. She recited Teacher's Fa:

"However strong the righteous thoughts are, that's how great the power is. Dafa disciples are truly stepping forward out of ordinary humanness." ("Also in a Few Words" from Essentials for Further Advancement II )

Ms. Wang put up truth-clarification posters in all the streets. As she was putting up the final poster, she saw several police searching for people who had put up the truth-clarification materials. Under the protection of Teacher she returned home safely.

Ms. Wang used her spare time to expose the CCP's lies to her colleagues and many of them learned the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. Since the radio and television stations in China are the mouthpiece of the CCP, they are tightly controlled by the authorities. In 2004, the broadcasting bureau where Ms. Wang worked called a staff meeting for all employees. Owing to the pressure from the authorities, the head of the bureau openly slandered Falun Gong. Upon hearing these defamatory words, Ms. Wang stood up and spoke with the force of justice, "Falun Gong is a righteous Fa and the Tiananmen self-immolation incident was a setup." This once again displayed the mighty virtue of a practitioner and shocked the head of the bureau and the authorities as well.

Ms. Wang's exposure of the persecution of Falun Gong allowed a lot of people to learn the truth. In turn, the authorities tried very hard to find ways to persecute Ms. Wang and stop her from validating the Fa. However, she was very firm with her belief in Falun Gong, displaying strong righteous thoughts and righteous actions.

In July 2006, in order to save the sentient beings in the neighboring counties, several practitioners agreed to distribute truth-clarification materials at Gaoji Township, Dong'a County. However, on their way back home they were arrested by the police. When one of the police officers viciously beat a female practitioner, Ms. Wang shouted, " A police officer should not hit people." The police officer then let go of the practitioner and turned on Ms. Wang. He kicked and punched her until she was black and blue, and two of her teeth were knocked out. Finally the police locked the practitioners up in the Gaoji Township Police Station and forced them to squat down while being interrogated. Ms. Wang said, "We are the ones who are saving people. We are good people and we haven't broken any law, therefore I will not squat down." A police officer then knocked her down, so she stood up. The police officer knocked her down again, and she stood up again. This repeated a few times until the officers became tired. However, Ms. Wang still refused to yield to their request. Finally, the police were at their wits end, so they handcuffed her to another practitioner and went to another room to rest.

As Ms. Wang calmed herself down and looked inward, she asked herself, "Is it wrong to save sentient beings? And why would this be cause for persecution?" She remembered what Teacher had said,

"The old forces don't dare to oppose our clarifying the truth or saving sentient beings. What's key is to not let them take advantage of the gaps in your state of mind when you do things." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston")

Then Ms. Wang enlightened, "The detention was the result of our complacency and mentality towards accomplishing a task. This was because everything had gone smoothly and without any trouble when handing out the truth-clarification materials. Since we relaxed in sending forth righteous thoughts we were taken advantage of by the evil. Teacher asked us to completely negate the arrangements and persecution created by the old forces. This is not the place for us to stay and we must get out of here to do what a practitioner should do." After this thought came to mind, the handcuffs suddenly slipped off her wrists. She immediately sent forth righteous thoughts, "Let the police officers fall asleep so that they cannot see us." In this way, they walked straight past the guarded gates and regained their freedom.

On January 28, 2008, Ms. Wang was arrested by police officers from Zhenxing Residential Area Police Station, Chiping County, for distributing truth-clarification materials, and taken to the county detention center. Whilst in the detention center, she went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and was released seven days later.

Over the recent years, Ms. Wang has left her footprints on every street in Chiping County. No matter whether it was in the scorching hot summer or biting cold winter, rain or wind, and no matter what the police's actions were, Ms. Wang took saving sentient beings as her mission. She never stopped clarifying the truth, distributing truth-clarification materials from building to building, and village to village. She would say "Falun Gong is good" and "Heaven will eliminate the Chinese Communist Party" to whomever she met.

During her detention at the Jinan Armed Police Hospital, she never forgot her mission, even though she was dying as a result of persecution. She grabbed her husband's hand and said, "I want to go home! I cannot stay here!" She wanted to go back home to continue to expose the persecution and save sentient beings. However, her life was ruthlessly taken from her, leaving behind a broken family with a mother over seventy years old and two children.

Ms. Wang left with a deep regret. Kind-hearted people shed tears for her compassion and selflessness. Her mighty virtue will shine forever in the new universe. Fellow practitioners, let's be more steadfast and make use of the limited time to do the three things well, strive to be worthy of our mission, and live up to Teacher's compassion.
