Defying the Persecution with Righteous Thoughts and Actions in Detention Center

(Minghui.org) I was arrested with several practitioners in our area in 2018. Even though my blood pressure was dangerously high and I was rejected by the local detention center, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee still forced the detention center to take me in. I was under tight surveillance, with a camera pointed at my bed around the clock.

Perseverance in Exercising

I negated the old forces’ persecution. I did not commit any crimes. I refused to wear the prison uniform, and refused to take the medicine they gave me. I exercised twice daily even though the detention center guards tried to stop me.

One day, when the guard saw that a fellow practitioner and I were exercising, he brought two 9 kg (20 pound) ankle shackles out for each of us. I asked Master to reinforce me and refused to go with the guard to put the shackles on. Because of my firm attitude, the guard persuaded the detention center director to spare me from wearing the shackles, due to my advanced age and physical condition. The other practitioner went along with the guard.

My Physical Changes Amazed Inmates and Guards

I exercised daily for a long time. I regained my period in a month and grew a new tooth six months later. When the female guard asked how I was doing, I told her that I had my periods back and had grown a new tooth. When she saw my brand-new tooth, she was impressed.

Everyone was amazed that someone like me, in their sixties, could still grow teeth and have menstrual periods. I told them that it was a common phenomenon in Falun Dafa cultivation practice. The guard said, “It is incredible!” Other inmates also said, “I want to practice when I get out of here.”

Opportunities for Truth Clarification

I tried my best to take care of the inmates who really needed help. I even told those who had mistreated Dafa practitioners in the past that our Master taught us to be kind and compassionate.

One of the detainees beat fellow practitioners when instigated to do so by the guards. Her family had stopped sending her money to buy food. Nobody wanted to help her because she was so vicious. But I shared my food with her, and after a month, I told her the basic information about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I also helped her quit the Chinese Communist Party and its youth organizations. She changed a great deal after that.

Another woman in our cell did not understand why I refused to perform unpaid labor. I told her about the persecution, the basic information about Falun Dafa, how it has spread all around the world, and why Jiang Zemin launched the persecution out of jealousy. I also clarified the truth about the “self-immolation hoax.” I told her that freedom of religion and faith is a right granted by the Constitution, I did not commit any crimes, and I should not be here, let alone do work for the detention center. She understood the truth and changed her attitude toward Falun Dafa after that.
