(Clearwisdom.net) I began learning Dafa in 1998. After the illegal persecution began in 1999, I was persecuted by the CCP over the course of many years. In the detention center, I was kind to others and considerate of each person. Regardless of their financial or social status, I chatted with others and sincerely cared for all of them. I talked to them about Falun Gong from a variety of angles. I tried my best to help them to understand how magnificent Falun Dafa is. In this way, their hearts were moved and they truly understood that Falun Gong is good.

I bought box lunches for those who did not have one, and I gave my extra clothes to those who did not have enough clothes. Everyone was kind to me and liked to talk with me. One person said he did not understand Dafa, but that he also felt more comfortable after talking with me. I said it was the mighty power of Dafa that made him peaceful. The guards' attitude changed towards Dafa. Whenever a new detainee arrived who was difficult to manage, they would ask me to talk to the newcomer. The guards knew I could make the newcomer settle down and that this would make it easier for them. At every opportunity I would talk about how good Falun Gong is, thereby dissolving the inmates' evil thoughts and bringing forth their good thoughts.

One day, a young prisoner was put in shackles because he liked to fight with others. With the shackles on, he had difficulty moving, and one morning he was unable to make it to the toilet and soiled his pants. Most people were going to eat breakfast at that time, so everyone stayed far away from him. Two of us helped him take off his soiled clothes and washed his body. I gave him clean underpants, and he appreciated it very much. From then on, he would listen and understand when I talked to him about Falun Gong. Later on, he gained a better position with the inmates in the cell. One day, a new inmate was sent to the cell and the young men always bullied newcomers. I reminded him: “Weren’t you bullied before? Now you are bullying others, which is wrong.” Since then, the bullying has stopped.

A boy from Hubei Province was imprisoned for stealing. One day, he asked me to transcribe Master Li's poem “An Upright Person”. I asked him: “Can you understand? Do you really want to read?” He answered, “Yes.” The next day, he was transferred to another cell and I was sorry for him, but soon after I heard he was learning Dafa. Another boy was interrogated and tortured for one night, and a fellow practitioner was moved when seeing how the boy had a strong will. The practitioner asked the boy if he wished to learn Falun Gong. He said “yes,” and he too has learned the Fa.

The Hubei boy practiced the exercises with other fellow practitioners outdoors every day. One day, a guard saw them practicing and when the guard approached the boy, he said that he was in jail for robbery, and that he would no longer do wrong deeds because he practiced Falun Gong. He was trying to be a good person, and the guard was speechless. The boy had several robbery accomplices who were detained in different cells. The Hubei boy passed messages to them and asked them to practice Falun Gong. In his cell, he argued with a person who had slandered Falun Dafa. The fellow practitioner told him to be a kind practitioner and not to fight with others. He went to say sorry to the person. When someone asked him what a Dafa practitioner is, he solemnly answered: “Dafa practitioners are lives created by Dafa. They are strong as a rock and cannot be moved.”

“B”, a detainee from Anhui Province, was detained because of a traffic accident. He is very kind and whenever a newcomer did not have food, he would give him a pack of instant noodles. I wrote down facts about Falun Gong in a Q&A format. I tried to figure out the questions that an ordinary person would ask, and then made the answers simple and easy to understand. I gave those questions and answers to people in the cell and then chatted with them. After reading them, “B” could understand Falun Gong very well. I helped him memorize Hong Yin. Later on, he could remember many poems from Hong Yin. I also taught him to write articles, told him historic legends and discussed life with him. I tried to give him a good impression of Dafa in all aspects. At that time, I had small red, itchy spots all over my body. My hands festered and later my lower leg also festered. I could not brush my teeth or wash my face normally. “B” helped me wash my food bowls and helped me take showers. Because he was close to me, the guards transferred him to another cell and later on, when I met him again, he could write articles very well and had developed a deeper understanding of Dafa.

After seeing my physical ailments, many people asked, “Can you get well without taking medicine? Can your hands really be healed?” Suddenly I became afraid, but then I thought many fellow practitioners did not fear death at all, so this little rash would not affect me, even if my hands were disabled. This affliction lasted almost six months. For the first two months, I felt very bad, with severe itching all over my body. The amazing thing was that I did not feel any itching at all when I crossed my legs and started practicing. At that time, every night when I woke up feeling itchy, I would get up and do the exercises. I slept when I felt sleepy and I practiced the exercises again when I felt itchy. I memorized the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts every chance I had. Soon I recovered, and the people in the cell and the guards were shocked.

In the prison, I met another boy who was imprisoned because of burglary. He was very happy when meeting me, as he said that one of his Beijing friends told him a story about Falun Gong. His friend stole a woman's purse on a bus and was caught on the spot by a policeman. The policeman asked the woman if the purse belonged to her. The woman said yes, but said that the boy was her friend and he did not steal. Although the policeman felt angry, he could do nothing. When his friend and the woman got off the bus, the woman took out 100 yuan and gave it him, and said that she practices Falun Gong. She told him that Falun Gong is not like what the CCP says and that he should correct his behavior going forward. After I heard the story, I felt impressed because the fellow practitioner had done so well. In Beijing, I met several burglars. They said they could be released as long as they paid bribe money to the prison officers. The policemen openly set the price based on how much evidence they had. The burglars I met were sent to prison because they did not hand over any money. On the surface, it seemed like the police had upheld justice, but in reality the police had taken the stolen money for themselves. After being released, the burglars stole more money in order to prepare for future bribes. I talked to those burglars about Falun Gong and because they had heard the truth about Falun Gong before, they could easily accept what I said.

In the prison workshop, a robber openly asked me about Falun Gong. After I talked to him, he said he had misunderstood Falun Gong before. Since then, he has been very nice to Falun Dafa practitioners. I gave copies of Hong Yin and Master Li's lectures to him. He tried to memorize all of them. I kept talking to him about Falun Gong in depth from all kinds of angles. His understanding of Dafa became deeper and deeper, and he too became a Falun Dafa practitioner. He helped us to pass around Master Li's lectures and deliver letters. He also pointed out our attachments whenever he saw them. His behavior changed to that of a practitioner because he could truly think and act from within the Fa.

There was a “big brother” in the darkest cells of the prison. He liked to talk to me and knew about Falun Dafa through all kinds of channels. He was also tortured badly by the CCP. I said: “The CCP is the real organized crime and cult.” He agreed with me. One day, in front of several people, he called me over and said: “What did the Falun Gong do? Why are they tortured? They believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They are good people. What is said on TV are all lies.” When he saw that I did not feel well, he insisted on giving me 100 yuan. When I did not take it, he gave the money to a guard and asked him to buy fruit for me. It made me happy to know that predestined people are everywhere, even in this prison environment.

I have truly experienced Dafa's mighty power. With the Fa, we can survive under any difficult circumstance. We keep our own virtue, purify ourselves, and also save sentient beings to create a wonderful future for them.
