(Clearwisdom.net) At approximately 9 a.m. on December 7, 2011, I went to a busy area to pass out desk calendars with information about Falun Dafa. I approached a woman on a bike and explained to her that Falun Dafa is good, offered my best wishes and placed the desk calendar in her basket. Immediately someone grabbed my hand and took the desk calendars away. Then three plainclothes police grabbed my arms and demanded that I go with them to the police station. I realized that I had been followed, but understood that I had done nothing wrong and I should not cooperate with them. So I shouted, “Why are you arresting me?” While they pushed me into a van, I shouted to people nearby, “Falun Dafa is good!” The police officers tried to silence me by forcing me into the van and driving to the local domestic security division. On our way there, I tried to explain to the four police officers why I learned Falun Dafa and how I had benefited from it. I explained how my illnesses had disappeared within a few months of starting to practice and how Falun Dafa teaches people to be good.
When I arrived at the security division they put me in a room. I knew two of the police officers. One named Xu had been involved in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners and was very evil. I calmed myself and thought about what had gone wrong with me. I realized that this was the time for me to examine myself and eliminate attachments. I remembered that some days ago, my husband, after a few drinks, said something hostile about Dafa. I didn't look inward at that time and entertained unkind thoughts and actions. Once I realized this, I said to Master, “Sorry Master, I was wrong. I will change, but today I cannot accept this persecution.” So I calmed myself and started to send forth righteous thoughts. I was determined that I would not accept this persecution.
When the police interrogated me, I refused to answer them. Then they tried to force me to take a mug shot and body searched me, as well. They searched my home and confiscated my husband's identification. They found a few copies of Falun Gong materials and attempted to force me to sign off on some document. I refused. I told them that I had done nothing wrong. A police officer named Ma tried to slap me in the face. I used my arm to block him and received red marks on my hand. I sat there and sent forth righteous thoughts. I said to myself, “Only what Master wants counts. They should suffer due to their evil actions.” Then Ma tried to find a form for transferring me to a detention center, but could not find it after checking three different computers. They even sent someone to other police stations to look for it, but still could not find it. Then they said that they would just go without the form. As we drove to the hospital for an examination, Ma complained that he had chest pains and the driver complained that he had pain in his leg. I continued to send righteous thoughts. The doctor on duty who saw me was friendly and I smiled at him. It was dark by the time we were cleared to leave, but the police insisted on driving me to the detention center anyway. A few minutes later, they got lost. We didn't get there until 9 p.m. One of the police went in to register me while I continued to clarify the truth to those left in the car. Then a female police officer came back and said that I had pneumonia and it was contagious, so the detention center refused to admit me. They had to take me back to the police station. I said to them, “You should not have arrested me, a 70-year-old lady. What good does it do you? What will happen to you if the evil party collapses?”
When we got back to the police station, they were all tired. At about midnight, Xu left. Then Ma took me to the van and went back inside to make a phone call. The female officer asked if I was cold. I told her that I was not cold and actually felt very warm. I asked her to touch my hand. She was impressed: “I feel very cold and yet you don't at your age? Why don't you send me some gong?” Then they called my son to pick me up. I truly enlightened to Master's teaching, “When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide.” (“Master-Disciple Bond” Hong Yin). I also noticed that more and more people are awakening when they are touched by Dafa. I will live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance as I diligently walk my path and return home with Master.
