(Minghui.org) I was born premature and blind in 1968. When I was 13, I lost most of my hearing. The doctor said there was no way to reverse the damage. I heard about Falun Dafa in July 1998. I lived in Tianjin and went to a group practice site every morning using my blind cane. At night I listened as the others read the Fa. Although it was difficult, I was happy. I worked hard and overcame a lot of difficulties to ensure that I could study the Fa and practice the exercises every day.
By the end of 1998, I suddenly noticed that my hearing improved. I could hear the minimum volume of the radio very clearly. I was shocked! Master took care of me! I was so happy and grateful!
Going to Beijing to Validate Dafa
After July 20, 1999, local practitioners were severely persecuted. In early 2000, my sister, who was 12 years older than me, and I went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. Many practitioners who went to the government appeals office were arrested. The staff told us to go home, so we decided to appeal for Falun Dafa in Tiananmen Square instead.
It was a holiday so there were many tourists. The practitioners who came to Tiananmen Square were arrested within three or five minutes. My sister and I didn’t want to be taken away so quickly. We thought that in addition to practicing the exercises, the approach that is given by Master to spread the Fa is to read the Fa aloud to people. So we decided to read Zhuan Falun aloud.
We found a place with the most people on the far left side. I sat on the ground and my sister sat in front of me. We read the book starting with the first lecture so that the people nearest us could hear. Everyone around us listened quietly, and some people stopped to watch. By the time we finished the first lecture, there was no one around us, so my sister and I decided to find a place with many people. We read five lectures. We kept moving to new locations, and made a half circle around Tiananmen Square. When we found a good place to read the sixth lecture, the police seized us.
“This Power Is Given to Me by Master”
The Beijing detention center staff contacted the local police and told them to take us to the local detention center. After I was beaten several times, I realized that we Dafa practitioners really cannot be afraid in the face of these difficulties, and we must calmly, uprightly, and solemnly tell people the truth about Dafa.
I clearly felt that Master was watching over me all the time. For example, a bad guy pushed me down and dragged me along the ground. The knees of my pants were torn, and my knees and calves bled. When they stopped, I touched my knee, and my heart suddenly became more calm, because although the pants were worn through and my knees bled badly, the thin high stockings I wore under the pants were not worn at all. I knew Master was enlightening me about how to face all this.
When they hung me up, the police asked if Master was protecting me. I replied calmly, “You see, a small person like me in the face of your fierce violence can be steady, not afraid, calm, and not sad or hateful. I tell you, this power was given to me by Master. My Master taught me to have the energy of innocence, kindness, and forbearance in my heart. This kind of energy allows me to face any murderous acts, to not be moved and not be afraid of death.” A policeman next to me said to himself, “What this woman said is so pure!” They did not beat me again.
The day my parents took me home Master published “Towards Consummation” (Essentials of Diligent Progress II). I really felt that Master was guiding me all the time. That kind of loving care is beyond words. I shared my feeling with every one of my family members. I was so happy, and grateful to Master!
In 2001, I was taken to a brainwashing center. I fainted and was sent to the emergency room. My parents took me home.
In 2003, I was seized again. I was sent to the emergency room again, and then taken home by my family.
Validating Dafa in Prison with Dignity
On September 2, 2019, the police broke into my apartment. After cutting off the electricity, they broke in. They rummaged around and found a set of machines and equipment for making books and more than 200 Dafa books that I treasured. They took my little sister, who also practiced Falun Dafa.
The next morning, I asked my brother and sister to take me to the police station so I could tell the police about Falun Dafa. I wanted to tell them to let my little sister go home and to only talk to me if they had questions. They said that if our sisters gave them 80,000 yuan, they would let her go home immediately. They claimed that if the practitioner paid them, they would not be sentenced to prison.
They added, “In the past, practitioners over 75 were not sentenced, but now, even if you are 100 years old, or even if you are too sick to move, you’ll still be sentenced.” They have the power and they can break into practitioners’ homes without following legal procedures.
I spent a long time sending forth righteous thoughts, and then I told them the facts again. I said, “We are all Chinese. Don’t do this. It’s not good for you or your family.”
On the night of September 4, 2019, police took me and my sister to a detention center. Later four unlawful court sessions were held. My younger sister hired a lawyer, but I defended myself. In the end, they sentenced us to two years in prison.
After experiencing so many things, I realized that I must defend Master and Dafa with dignity and an upright attitude.
When I arrived at Tianjin Women’s Prison, the bad guys who forcibly transformed practitioners told me, “You must transform or you will die. No one can escape it.” I told them calmly, “When I first entered the detention center, I weighed 118 pounds, and now I only weigh 60 pounds. I have experienced at least five near-death states from 2001 to this day. It was impossible for me to speak a whole sentence due to lack of energy. I calmly face your fierce behavior. I am not afraid of death. This is my strength. I will defend my Master’s reputation with my life. Do not mention my Master’s name again!”
When they saw my attitude, they started shouting crazily. I immediately pointed at these wicked people and shouted at them, “Your evil deeds, depriving practitioners of sleep and food. You beat us, inject us with poisonous substances, and force feedings. None of this moves me. I experienced those evil practices from 2001 to 2003, and they did not work on me. Don’t bother to try them on me!”
A doctor checked me and said that my blood pressure was higher than 200, my heart was in tachycardia with atrial fibrillation, and I could die suddenly at any time. A policeman with a slightly higher rank said, “Calm down. We will no longer mention your Master’s name in front of you. Your sentence is short.”
He sent two people to watch me 24 hours a day, saying it was a special treat for me. Every morning at six o’clock, they carried me downstairs on their backs, tied me to a wheelchair, and pushed me into the hall where the prisoners worked. There were about 200 people in that hall. One morning, the woman who watched me brought me a copy of an article slandering Master and read it to me. I told her loudly, “You will be out of prison in a year. The thing you read may get you retribution. Don’t read it again.” She was silent for a moment and then began to read it aloud again. I immediately asked her loudly if she really wanted to die in the prison. Someone stopped her and said, “Calm down you two. You are not allowed to speak here.” After that day, nothing like that happened again.
I never went to the brainwashing classes, “transformation" classes or “political study classes” for practitioners.
Truly Practicing
When I got home in 2021, it was difficult for me to even sit up. My parents were worried. I comforted them, “I was not tortured to death in that hell on earth. I am home now, and I will recover soon. Please rest assured.”
Many friends who’ve seen me devote my life to Dafa asked me, “What do you gain from Dafa?” I felt Master’s great compassion.
Master said,
“So no matter what your job is or what you do, as long as you see me, I’ll have you develop good (shan) thoughts, and as long as you see me I’ll reduce your sins and your karma amidst your good thoughts.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2003 Conference in Vancouver, Canada,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume II)
Master’s teaching protected me through all the tribulations. From 2001 to 2003, when I sent forth righteous thoughts and did the exercises, I often saw Master wearing golden clothes and smiling at me.
From 2004 to 2009, Master showed me and let me feel Falun. Sometimes, when Falun was spinning in front of my eyes, I saw it and Master’s compassionate smile. When I talked to people my heart was full of compassion, understanding, and generosity.
One day in 2009, Master gave me “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” When I sent forth righteous thoughts, I saw Master standing opposite me, holding three golden balls in his right hand, which were “Truthfulness,” “Compassion,” and “Forbearance.” Then Master placed them in my hand. The golden ball of “forbearance” flew into my body. Since then, I have never said anything negative, and what I say is full of the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Master cherishes and cares for me. I know how lucky I am!
I feel joyful every day, and everyone talks to me. Some said, “She’s blind. Why does she look so happy?” One person said, “She’s beautiful.”
I will spend the rest of my life thanking Master for his mercy and salvation!
