Studying the Fa consistently made me aware that I should step out to validate the Fa. So I decided to go to Beijing for the Fa-rectification. When I told my mother about my decision, she asked me, "Are you sure you can do it? You have never been away from home to go a place so far away. Besides, Luo Gan has given orders to arrest Falun Gong practitioners and it's almost October 1st, the National Day. What if they arrested you and sent you to a labor camp? Can you withstand the torture?" With the righteous faith in Dafa, the Fa-rectification verse imparted by Teacher and my benevolence for the people being cheated by the slanderous propaganda, I firmly replied, "Yes."
I arrived at Tiananmen Square at 7 a.m. on October 1st. There were many tourists. I didn't see police vans, though. The policemen were not easy to spot either. They were all watching from hidden areas. I went to the front of Tiananmen square, the ancient building, and facing the tourists, I shouted at the top of my lungs the words that have been in my heart for so long: "Falun Dafa is good." "Falun Dafa is the righteous way." "Restore the reputation of Falun Dafa." "Restore the reputation of my Teacher." Two policemen came over to drag me away from the crowd.
(Due to the attention of World Human Rights organizations, Jiang Zemin's regime gave directions not to exhibit violence in public places so as to deceive the public.) I didn't voluntarily go with them and kept on shouting out. I noticed close by some people taking pictures. The police feared their conduct would be exposed, so they rushed over and grabbed the camera. One policeman stomped on me for shouting. Three other policemen immediately came up to cover my mouth and seized my arms. They took me to a place without people and beat me up. Just when they were beating me, a police van came, via their call and took me to the police station nearby. I was detained there for one day. There were over ten practitioners arriving during that time. A young woman with a two and a half year old baby in her arms was also detained.
We were taken by the police van to the suburbs at around 7 p.m.; they didn't transfer us in the day for fear of public exposure. We finally arrived in a courtyard in the suburbs where there were a lot of policemen. They dragged us off fiercely, because we had been shouting out "Falun Dafa is good" all the way, they declared that they were going to work us over upon arrival. We were taken to a room for record taking (giving personal information such as name, age, and address.). They gave each of us a number after making the record. If one refused to tell the police their personal information they wanted, he/she would be severely tortured by the policemen. At heart I was denying all the persecution they tried to impose on me, so I didn't follow their orders and I stood at a place different from what they had designated. I stood near the door; reciting the verse of Fa-rectification and asking Teacher to give me strength to leave. I walked directly towards the policemen and went out of the door. In the courtyard, I came face to face with many policemen who had seen me getting off the van. I had the righteous thoughts in mind and recited the verse of Fa-rectification. I thought: no sentient beings shall stop me and because of my firm faith in Dafa and Teacher, I walked directly out of the gate and nobody stopped me.
In the suburbs usually there are not many vehicles driving on the road. In order to leave the place as soon as possible, in my heart I asked Teacher to have a car come by. Soon a car drove near and the driver tooted his horn while driving; I thought it was the police and just as I was about to run, the driver stuck out his head and asked, "You want a cab?" Seeing that it was not a police car, I got in. After we had driven a while, a police van passed by, it was the same van that had brought us to the suburbs; I knew they were after me.
At the railway station, a group of policemen were checking IDs of the passengers. The police compared the ID with the information in the computer to see whether the passenger is a Falun Gong practitioner (The local police across the country have created a computer database of records of practitioners.) If anyone didn't have their ID s with them, they had to tell their name and address. In order to prevent practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal, the police have illegally confiscated the IDs of many practitioners. For the practitioners who still have their IDs, usually they would not carry them when going to Beijing, for they do not want their identities to be found out so as to lessen the burden for the local governments, as the higher authorities have placed great pressure on local governments and police to prevent any practitioner from appealing in Beijing.
We are now in the 21st century. Jiang Zemin's regime declares to the world that it is "a golden time for human rights", but in China, they are taking advantage of the kindness of practitioners to persecute Dafa. Superficially, they do not have a tight hand at Tiananmen Square but at the railway station, they are using a strict method to capture practitioners. What they cannot imagine is that Dafa is supernormal. Any real practitioner will break through the barriers with righteous thoughts and their firm belief in Dafa. Again I applied the verse of Fa-rectification imparted by Teacher and the wisdom created by Dafa and passed the last barrier.
The above is my experience in the Fa-rectification and what I learned from it. I hope my fellow practitioners could kindly point out anything that is not in accordance with Dafa.
