(Clearwisdom.net) When I was ten years old, my grandmother told me something very important. She had a dream the night I was born. A person in her dream told her, "You have a true heart at your home, thus leaving the roots of a god for you. Remember the Lunzi (wheel) Gong, which will save human beings forever." As soon as the person had finished saying these words, they disappeared. When my grandmother awoke, that was the exact moment I was born. She attached great importance to this dream and told me about it many times. Therefore, I had kept it firmly in mind since I was very young.
For years, this "Lunzi (wheel)" story had always been on my mind. I put the words "Lunzi (wheel) Gong" in my heart and decided to look for it. After I graduated from middle school, my heart was set on leaving to look for the "Lunzi (wheel) Gong." I first went to the ancient city of Chang'an, then to Yunnan, Guizhou, Liuzhou, Guilin, then as far down as Hainan Island, the most southern part of China. Later, I went to the north - Beijing, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, until I reached the border. But I still didn't find the "Lunzi (wheel)." I wondered, "I've traveled all over China, but where is the Lunzi (wheel)?"
I was lost and disappointed, and returned home in despair. I wondered, "I have been looking for the "Lunzi (wheel)" everywhere for over ten years, but still haven't found it. Why is this?" All of a sudden I enlightened, is it because that the predestined fate hasn't come about yet? Since this event can't be determined by human beings, I should just resign to fate.
Several years later, my parents died, and I was alone at home. As time went by I was getting old both physically and spiritually.
When I was in great despair, in the spring of the year when I was 59 years old, I suddenly found "Lunzi (wheel) Gong." Actually, what I found was Falun Gong, this rare and fortunate opportunity had arrived. I was so excited, beyond what words could describe. I was like a piece of grain, a seedling that met with the rain and dew.
Since I started practicing Falun Gong, I have totally changed in my character and personality, and have discarded the feeling of loneliness and depression. I practice the five sets of exercises three to four times every day and study the Fa a lot. Initially I was the only practitioner in my village, and later decided to spread Falun Gong to my neighbors. Within a short period of time new practitioners came to study the Fa, and within six months my home had become a local practice site. Three years later, many people in the neighboring villages had become Falun Gong practitioners. In our village many practitioners practiced the exercises, studied the Fa, and shared cultivation experiences together. I was very happy to see so many people practicing Falun Gong.
Just at the time when we were enjoying our cultivation - practicing the exercises, and studying and spreading the Fa - the persecution started on July 20, 1999. I couldn't help but cry. I had traveled across the plains and mountains, and tasted the sweet and bitter experiences of life. I was so fortunate to obtain such a grand teaching, only to suffer such a cruel persecution. The environment changed suddenly when the great King of Terror came from the sky. No matter what happened, I vowed, "I promise to Master, I will walk well on the path of Dafa. At this critical test, I will break through the barrier of life and death after waiting tens of thousands of years for this moment."
I started to clarify the truth about Falun Gong, so people could understand that the vile Chinese Communist Party was deceiving people. As there were no truth-clarification production sites in the countryside, practitioners from the city delivered truth-clarifying materials to our village, and I went out to distribute the materials every night. When people learned the truth they were all shocked. Many people saw Falun Gong flyers in front of their gates or in the courtyards, and by the next morning, some people said, "We received about nine Falun Gong flyers last night." Some said, "We received about ten flyers. Falun Gong has not been eradicated. There are still many people practicing Falun Gong." Sometimes I went to distribute flyers during the daytime, and gradually my fear disappeared. I even went to distribute flyers to the village government office and police station.
As I kept on distributing flyers, officers from the local police station came to my home and ransacked it. They confiscated many materials and personal items. They arrested me and took me to the town government office, where I was detained for two days. They told me that I had to pay three thousand yuan before they would release me. I told them, "I don't even have a penny, but I do have a life." When the superintendent found that he couldn't get any money from me, he immediately sent me to the town's police station.
The police there also found no way to deal with me, so they sent me to the detention center. I was subjected to a violent beating as soon as I entered a cell in the detention center. I was beaten so severely that I became dizzy and fell to the ground. This was the so-called "presenting a welcome gift upon entry." Then the guards suddenly rushed towards me, covered my head with a quilt, and continued to brutally beat me until I couldn't move. This was the so-called "making a dumpling upon entry," which was the unwritten rule of the detention center. While I was detained there, officers interrogated me once every ten days, and tortured me by all means. The head of the cell forced me to sleep beside the toilet. The excrement and urine stank and often splashed on me. He intentionally arranged a detainee whose skin was festering to sleep beside me. That detainee suffered rheumatism and his body smelled very bad. I was never contaminated with his disease however, even though I had been sleeping close to him for over a month. I knew that Teacher was protecting me all the time. From the moment I was detained in the cell I had experienced a magical phenomenon, especially at night. I often saw myself shining all over, and felt very comfortable. I enlightened that Teacher was protecting me all the time and adding Gong to me.
I understand that as long as we can remove our attachment to life and death, the evil will have no choice. After the police officers interrogated me several times, they achieve nothing. They had no choice but to release me. I was even more determined after I returned home, and I kept on practicing and studying the Fa.
As an older man over 60 years old, I am very healthy. More hair has grown on my head, and my teeth are more solid and better than ever before. I feel light all over. Everyone said that I am strong. I would like to express my greatest thanks to Falun Dafa for giving me a new life.
