5. Brainwashing is Futile
Around 8am the next day I was ordered to pack my belongings. Police Zhang Lijun said to Police Zhu Xiaosong, "Finally they're trying what I suggested." I was sent to a brainwashing class. On the way, while Officer Zhu was driving, Officer Qin said to me, "If you tell me now, we will take you back." I thought to myself, "What a big liar!"
I was taken to an office in the Pinggu County Law Enforcement Education School. Wang Wei, the man in charge of the brainwashing (used to teach physics, male, around 30 years old, wears glasses) said many slanderous things about Dafa, similar to the propaganda on China Central Television. He also ordered me to stand for a long time. Still weak from my hunger strike, I started to breath heavily and could not straighten my back. When I coughed, I bent over almost to the ground. Li Guolian (female, 23 years old, supervisor) then came and took me for a checkup. They said that at the time my face was very pale and my heart rate reached 120 beats per minute. The doctor advised me not to cough, that if I burst a blood vessel I would be spitting out blood.
After seeing the doctor, Wong Hongjing (male, around 40 years old), head of the Pinggu County "610" Office came to the brainwashing facility as well. Others involved in the brainwashing included Liang Yarong and Wong Jiurong, both in their forties, administrative workers Li Gaosheng (around 40 years old, police officer), Officer Yue (male, around 30, police officer) and four other young security guards in their twenties. I heard that before they came, they all underwent training where they were taught many things which are slanderous and insulting to Falun Dafa.
I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to the people around me there. In the evenings I was forced to watch slanderous videos about Falun Dafa. I sent forth righteous thoughts and after awhile they said, "It's no use playing the video to her." So they stopped it.
On the 12th, a secret agent named Wu Xianquan (male, 49 years old) was trying to brainwash me. He was from the Tuanhe Labor Camp and had himself been brainwashed by the government propaganda machine. I continuously recited, "The Fa rectifies the cosmos, the Evil is completely eliminated". In the morning the head of the "610" Office, Wong Hongjing and the Deputy Principal of the Law Enforcement Education School came to ask for my name and address. I adamantly refused to tell them. In the afternoon, secret agent Wu Xianquan again tried to brainwash me. Soon after he started talking I said to him, "Don't say anymore. Listen to what I have to say. I will not listen to your brainwashing. I will continue on the hunger strike until you release me. You can forget about getting any information from me, the police department couldn't. You can't either." Wu continued talking and I was able to get from him the names of many of those involved in this article.
6. Policeman Qin Shouwen Gets a Phone Call from Britain
At 5 pm on November 12, policeman Qin Shouwen came to my cell. He pretended to be very nice and said, "I have come to see how you are doing." He showed me his electronic pocket notebook. After a while, he asked me to play cards with him, and even offered to buy me some Kentucky Fried Chicken and Huanggong roast chicken. I said, "If you let me go, I have everything at home, and you don't need to take the trouble to buy me anything to eat here." Gradually he lost his patience. Once again he threatened me with being force-fed and detained as a criminal.
It was almost 8 pm, and he was being very arrogant and aggressive. Suddenly his cellular phone rang. He strolled around in the room at a leisurely pace while answering, "Hi, it's me. Who is it?".... "[Calling from] Britain?!" He was very surprised. I became excited when I thought it could be a phone call from overseas to rescue me. He quickly scurried out of the room. I heard he saying, "Nobody by that name is here! Absolutely no such person! You got the wrong number!" He closed the door behind him and I could not hear him anymore. After a while, he came back and nervously told the others that if anyone called asking for this kid, just tell them we don't have her. Someone asked if they should answer that they had me before but not anymore. Qin Shouwen said, "We don't have this kid at all!" He sat down nervously while rubbing the cards in his hand, still not recovered from his shock about the overseas phone call. I looked at his expression and felt very sure that the call was to rescue me and my detention had appeared on the Clearwisdom website. I asked him, "You have friends in Britain?" He answered without any expression, "Yes, I do. I have a friend in Britain. Do you have relatives overseas? Or maybe friends?" I told him proudly, "Falun Gong practitioners in China and overseas are one body, they are all my friends." He looked at me and fell back into silence, still rubbing his cards. A while later, he became so troubled by the phone call that he could not sit there any longer. He rushed out and made a call. Another policeman said, "Higher authorities will come to visit you, our county magistrate will come also."
7. The Evil's Last Desperate Struggle
It was raining and snowing on the evening of November 12. At 10 pm, the door opened and someone stepped in. All the policemen and other personnel stood up. Someone said that the police chief came to visit me after a meeting. The Police Chief of the Pinggu County Police Bureau, Vice Police Chief, a person in charge of personnel administration, the Assistant Principal Li (47 years old) from the Pinggu County Judicial Education School (a school that regularly holds brainwashing classes) all came. The other vice principal Han Lirong, female, 30 to 40 years old, did not come. The head of criminal police squad Qin Shouwen was here also. They ordered everyone else to leave, and suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed. They sat down and focused their attention on me. I thought that this was the darkest hour before dawn, and I would be free very soon. Even though they appeared to be menacing and intimidating, I knew they were at the end of their desperate struggle. As always, they threatened me and tried to deceive me into giving them my name and address. The police chief said, "We came to visit you immediately after a meeting, why don't you show some respect to our caring for you. There is no use for you to continue on your hunger strike. If you die of starvation, we will just throw your body on a deserted hill, and that is it. There is absolutely no way you can leave here without giving us your name. We will give you one night to think it over, if you still refuse to eat, you will be detained as a criminal and force-fed."
After the police chief's speech, the vice police chief repeated his words and added more details to fully explain the police chief's final offer. I was very calm and not affected by what they said at all. I thought about Teacher's words, "just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations."(Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)) I thought that Teacher was beside me and feared nothing. They were nothing in our Teacher's eyes. Under this extreme situation I needed do even better, because Teacher was watching me.
At around midnight, the police chief left and ordered the others to "continue the interrogation." They planned to interrogate me throughout the night. I asked to use the restroom. When I came back, they sent me to another room to sleep. I thought that when Teacher saw my righteous heart, he would not allow them to keep persecuting me.
In the morning of November 13, policeman Qin Shouwen came and asked if I had eaten or given them my address. Another policeman said that I had not. Qin Shouwen said, "Get all your belongings and go to your mother. We will send you to the 918 bus station. You can go home from there. It is useless to detain you." I did not believe them at first. They sent me to the 918 bus station. On the way there, I asked them if they were still playing tricks. Qin Shouwen said that this time they would not arrest me. I asked, "Last time the city police bureau did not agree to release me, they changed their mind this time?" Qin Shouwen said, "Yes, they agreed to release you."
On the way home, I got away from two agents who followed me and made it home safely.
