Stories about Falun Gong Practitioners' Family Members
One female Falun Gong practitioner's husband is very supportive of her practicing Falun Gong cultivation. Once she was arrested by the police without cause and sent to the detention center for labor re-education. He was determined to get her out and wrote the police a letter. The police took it as a threat and sent him to one year of forced labor camp. However, they released the female practitioner. The husband said, "As long as my wife is all right, I do not mind suffering a little." In the detention center he said to the Falun Gong practitioners there, "You people go ahead with your practice. I will not report you. I am already half a practitioner!"
The police kidnapped another practitioner. His family gathered the relatives and went to the police station to demand his release. The relatives were unrelenting. They insisted on his release and refused to leave. Under the pressure the police released him in the end. They said that this was the first time they encountered such persistent family members!
"I Understand Now"
A female practitioner frequently clarified the truth about Falun Gong to people she knew around her. One male coworker was not quite convinced about the persecution. One night they worked late until after 11:00 p.m., and the coworker accompanied her home. When they reached the gate of her residence a man suddenly jumped out from the dark. Her coworker reacted loudly, "What do you want?" The man stuck his chest out and said, "I am from the Security Department of the factory." The coworker was furious and said, "So what? I won't hesitate to beat the tar out of you even if you are from the public security bureau. You cannot be up to any good sneaking around like that in the middle of the night." It turned out that the man was spying on Falun Gong practitioners and arresting them when they come out at night to distribute truth-clarifying materials. The next day when they ran into the coworker, he said loudly, "Now I know what you said before was true!"
Falun Gong Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts and Conduct Frighten the Vicious Police
A Falun Gong practitioner in a certain city was kidnapped to a police station. He resolutely refused to comply with any demands by the police and went on a hunger strike in protest. The criminals carried him to the detention center, a few days later to another detention center, and finally they sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. Ten days later, the practitioner was released. The whole thing cost the police station several thousand Yuan. They ended up not only having to release the practitioner but also spent a lot of money. A short time later the practitioner was kidnapped to the police station again for distributing truth-clarifying materials. The police protested at once, "Why do you bring him here again? Didn't you have enough?" The practitioner was released after 24 hours in detention.
"If Half of the Employees Practiced Falun Gong, the Company Would Run Better"
One day some people from the "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) came to gather information about the Falun Gong practitioners. The head of the company stopped them and said, "They perform well and they are very hardworking. Please do not come to ask about them any more." Later on when the department heads heard about it, they said to their boss, "The Falun Gong practitioners in our company all perform well. If half of the employees were like them the company would work much better and our jobs would be much easier."
The Manager Pressed His Hands Together in Front of His Chest, Asking for Forgiveness
One manager in my company, having been bombarded by the propaganda in the media, often repeated what he heard. I stopped him, telling him that he should not say nonsense like that, lest he meet with karmic retribution. He was startled and stopped immediately. One day I went to the manager's home. There were several others sitting there. They seemed to be waiting for me. I told them the facts about Falun Gong and showed them some literature, telling them that the Tiananmen self-immolation was staged to slander Falun Gong. They suddenly seemed to understand. The manager pressed his hands together in a Heshi position and said looking up to the sky: "Please forgive me, Master Li. I said some bad things because I did not know the truth. I won't say those things anymore. Please forgive me."
