(Clearwisdom.net) I was fortunate to learn about Dafa in April of 1999. I have always felt an indescribable joy, and persisted in studying the Fa and practicing the exercises whenever I have time. Since the evil started to persecute Dafa on July 20 of 1999, I lost the environment of group study and practice; but I have always maintained my belief in Master and Dafa.
In recent years, although I always kept in touch with other practitioners, read Master's new articles and Minghui Weekly Magazine, clarified the truth, exposed the evil, and validated Dafa, in my Fa-study, I couldn't recognize my various attachments, and was exploited by the evil. I was reported to the authorities when I clarified the truth in the spring of 2004, and my home was searched by officials from the 610 office and the local police. They took away all of my Dafa books and materials, and put me in the detention center.
In the one month there, the police instigated the convicted criminals to brutally torture me. I was hurt physically and emotionally. In the two weeks or so after my family paid to have me released, I felt very week and had pain all over my body. I found it difficult to walk. My family urged me to go to the hospital. I told them that I was alright and I would be fine in another few days. However, I caved in when many people urged me. I went to the hospital for an X-ray found that I had dislocation of my cervical vertebra and fractured ribs.
The doctor asked why I didn't come earlier, and said that it was too late to treat it then! There was nothing I could do but nurse myself at home.
I was not afraid. I thought to myself, "I am a practitioner. I should not be having such problem." But my family members were quite scared. Several days later, they took me to a hospital in the big city to have a checkup, but the result was normal. I was not surprised because I know that I am a person on the path to godhood. Dafa practitioner's righteous thoughts can change everything. Human ways of thinking would be exploited by the evil. Because I maintained my belief in Master and Dafa at the crucial moment, there was fear, but no danger. With the help of other practitioners, I recovered quickly.
Fellow practitioners urged me to write to the Minghui website about it, but I always felt that there was nothing worthwhile writing about. Until I read practitioners' experience sharing articles on the Minghui website, and realized that not writing it out is also interference, so I picked up my pen. Because of my level, please kindly point out anything improper.
