(Clearwisdom.net) After being released from a labor camp, Falun Dafa practitioner Fu Rong learned that her name had been removed from the pension entitlement list. She also heard that other practitioners had suffered similar treatment from their work units, and lost their cases on appeal. That left them with no choice but to accept the outcome. Fu Rong thought, "I cannot simply accept the outcome. Even if I lose on appeal, I would have at least the opportunity to clarify the facts of the persecution to everyone I talk to."
The heads of Fu Rong's work unit avoided her. She then spoke to all others she met to expose the atrocity of the persecution she personally experienced while at the labor camp. After hearing her story, everyone was on her side, and came up with good ideas as to how she could get to see the boss. Finally, on the fifth day, while all department heads were gathering for a meeting, Fu Rong walked straight into the meeting room. The moment she walked in, the newly appointed party secretary pointed a finger at her, saying, "We don't allow Falun Gong practitioners to enter this room!"
Fu Rong walked in and sat down, relaxed and in full authority. She said, "In the past, I worked hard in this section. Have I ever broken any regulations? As a financial officer, I did not collaborate with the corrupt financial system. Was that unlawful? Is there anything wrong with following the practice of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance? The whole society is now being corrupted. We Falun Gong practitioners are setting examples and bringing the corrupted system back up to par. This building does not belong to you. Today, I am here to find out who has taken the law into his own hands. To save money for the department, I followed every instruction and submitted my retirement application early, well before I was illegally sentenced to the forced labor camp. You have violated the contract by removing my name from the pensioners' list and you should rectify the problem."
"Today, I am here to tell you all who is behind all this." Fu Rong continued to describe how the labor camp officers beat up Dafa practitioners, using unimaginable torture devices and techniques. She went on to tell them how the practitioners were deprived of sleep, how the female practitioners had their clothes stripped off and were forced into male convicts' cells, and the abusive language the wardens used to insult the female practitioners. She further pointed out how they fabricated the self-immolation incident to defame Falun Dafa, and covered up cases of practitioners being murdered, claiming that the practitioners committed suicide. Then she asked them, "Who has violated the law?"
There was silence, obviously everyone was stunned by the information. One quietly asked her coworker nearby, "Why is it we'd never heard about this before?" Another said, "How could they publicize such disgraceful deeds?"
The newly appointed party secretary was also dumbfounded. For a while, nobody spoke. Then, the department chief said, "Fu Rong, can you leave first? We have an important meeting to run. Go and see the upper managers. It was under their instruction that your name was removed."
Fu Rong replied, "Good, I will see them one by one."
Fu Rong talked to everyone concerned, clarifying the facts at the same time. The result was very effective. One work-unit head tried to pick on her, "You claim to practice tolerance. Now your name has been removed from the pensioners' list. Aren't you supposed to accept it gracefully and with tolerance? Why are you fighting to get back your benefits?" Fu Rong replied, "Although we abide by the practice of truth, compassion and tolerance, the officers at the forced labor camp kept telling us that 'truth, compassion and tolerance' were wrong. They put us through brainwashing sessions, trying to make us renounce our belief. If I put up with this corrupt system, I am only helping to make it worse. Therefore, we must use the law to handle the case."
Red in the face, the man said, "So, you are following the law and not the words of your Teacher?"
"I have been following Teacher's words all along. Jiang Zemin forbid us to practice. He sent to brainwashing centers, labor camps and prisons, where we were beaten, tortured, and deprived of sleep."
In front of all the workers present, Fu Rong related her story. Although they dared not voice their opinion in front of their chief, it was obvious that they were all shocked by what they heard. A few of them were in tears. Even the chief began to soften up. He told his assistant to arrange some lunch for Fu Rong and said, "We will let you know the result later."
After lunch, Fu Rong was asked to meet the party secretary. After hearing the story from Fu Rong, the secretary asked, "Have you given up your practice yet? If not, your case cannot be settled."
Fu Rong said, "Those that gave up the practice only did so because they could not withstand the torture. They did not genuinely change in their hearts. I was tortured, beaten, and deprived of sleep, but I endured. The camp officers still tried to force me to give up my faith. My past sicknesses have all gone away from practicing Falun Gong. The only assurance I have is to carry on."
After hearing all this, the secretary said, "Go and see the financial officer and fill out the retirement application again. Your work unit will pay all of your outstanding salary."
Fu Rong's finally won the battle with her unbending righteousness by clarifying the truth everywhere she went.
