My name is Yufang Lin (pseudonym), female. I lived in Northern China and ran a small business. I obtained Dafa in May 1998.
Before practicing Dafa, I pursued fame and gain by all kinds of illegal means. However, since I have learned Falun Dafa, I followed our Master's requirement to be a good person in all aspects and do not cheat or hurt people for money. Though I earned less, I felt good in my heart. Before practicing Dafa, I had many diseases. After I practiced Dafa, all of my diseases were gone. Falun Dafa had made me a healthy, energetic, and happy practitioner.
Since Jiang Zemin and his gang are eagerly pursuing their thirst for power, they have made up stories from thin air to defame our Teacher, Dafa, and our fellow practitioners. In order to tell the truth to the public, I exercised my constitutional right as a citizen, and voluntarily printed and distributed some materials to clarify the truth. However, the public security came to my house and, without due cause, took me to the police station. They beat me and ordered me to give them the printing machine. I thought that I did not commit any crime, and handing over the printing machine is as good as admitting the "crime." Therefore, I insisted that I would not to give them the printing machine. They then brutally tied me up and beat me. Eventually, my whole body was shaking and I was lifeless for a couple of days.
After I had passed out, the police sent me to the hospital. In order to wake me up, they let a doctor, whose last name is Leng, use electric batons to repeatedly shock my legs. It was like tens of thousands of steel needles being pushed through both my legs. My whole body jumped up about 2 feet with every shock. My teeth were shocked so that I had to clench them unceasingly. During the constant biting of my teeth, I repeatedly bit my tongue until it bled and became dark purple. When the shocks stopped, I was completely paralyzed. My son's girl friend who was only 19 years old was present while that monster applied the "shock therapy." She was too paralyzed with fear to scream but tried to protect my body by tightly holding on to it to stop this "doctor" from shocking me any more. [The first topic in a doctor's oath is "do no harm"] After more than 10 minutes of electrical shocking, my whole body was exhausted and my thick sweater was even soaked with the sweat. I don't know who authorized him to unconscionably and inhumanely torture me to such an extreme extent.
While I was in the hospital, the police kept pressuring and harassing my family and me. The city police and the head of the political security section in Joebao District also duped my husband to persuade me to hand in the printing machine. He ordered my husband that, in case I decided to hand in the printing machine, he should let him, the head of the political security section, know first; it was a lot of pressure.
They used all means but their efforts were in vain. While I was unconscious, they then sent me to the mental hospital, without my family's and my personal consent. They told my husband that if I do not hand in the machine, they would "cure" me from and turn me from being a healthy person into a disabled and "dummy-like" [a vegetable] person to scare and threaten him.
In the mental hospital, they tied my limbs on the bed. My son's girl friend told the doctor, "She is not mentally ill, please don't tie her up." However, they are just so mean and without conscience that they did not listen to her and turned a deaf ear. They forcefully fed me with drugs and injected me with medication. They increased the dose day after day. Here I want to clarify that the drug they injected was a hallucinogenic. For ordinary people, the drugs would first make the person sleepy, then one loses consciousness and logical thinking; later, one becomes afraid of people, and is unable to follow people's orders. However, our Dafa is miraculous. Dafa is the greatest Buddha Law. As long as you listen to Master's teaching and bear a righteous mind, all kinds of miracles can happen. The drug had no effect on me. No matter how hard they tried, it was in vain. The doctors came to see me everyday and asked me, "What is your understanding about Falun Dafa." Sometimes, my brain lost consciousness as if someone was talking to me [over my mind]. However, once I reminded myself that I was a practitioner of Falun Dafa, that my main consciousness should be strong and that my mind should be upright, and I must not give myself over to the drug. I was then able to return to reality.
Falun Dafa had first of all made me a healthy person, physically and mentally, and Master Li did not ask for a penny from me. However, the police of this country would want to make me a mentally and physically sick person only because I want to practice Falun Dafa. They even asked my family to PAY for the illegal hospitalization and crude mistreatment. Because my family didn't have enough money to pay, the city police had to pay the hospital fee on its own. One day, three policemen came to me after they paid the fee and asked me, "Do you want to go home?" I said, "Who would not want to go home? I was not sick at all. Why did you keep me here?" They said, "You can go home if you hand in the printing machine." I said, "I don't have the machine." He said, "Lin Yufang, whenever you hand in the machine it means that you are cured and you can go home." After the conversation, I knew this was a place where they would kill a person without feeling guilt or remorse. I should not stay here and make them happy. I must run away and expose their inhumane conducts.
When I had that thought, I began to look for chances. However, it would not be easy. There were people watching me all the time. There were bars outside the windows. However, on the same night, I found a chance. I jumped out from a window on the second floor and it was the only window that did not have bars. The height of the second floor in the mental hospital was as high as that of the third floor of an ordinary building. When I landed on the ground, I found the vertebrae in the area of my waist were squeezed together and formed a hump on my back when I touched it. My left leg was broken too. However, even though I was in such a condition, I had to leave there. I then endured the unbearable pain, impossible for ordinary people to endure, to climb over a wall of 2 meters [about 6.5 feet] height with iron thorns and walked across 3 mountains. It took me more than 4 hours to run away from there. I was then rescued by some kind-hearted people.
People with a compassionate conscience, please think about it: if an ordinary person fell into such a condition, would he/she be able to escape like me? On the other hand, I had nothing to lose. Why would I not want to risk my life and escape from these inhumane and brutal treatments?
Afterwards, I insisted in studying Dafa and practicing Dafa exercises. The miracle of Dafa was revealed to me again. Days later, I was able to turn my body. Ten days later, my legs were able to move and on their own, without treatment, the dislocated vertebrae of my spine in the waist area went back to their original position. Fifteen days later, I was able to sit up by myself and get up from bed. Twenty days later, I was able to walk. Now, it has been a month, and I can handle everything by myself and there is no trace of the injuries or deformation I sustained when I first came out of the mental hospital.
Our Master has told us, "If everyone of you can understand the Fa from the bottom of your heart, that will truly be the manifestation of the Fa whose power knows no boundarythe reappearance of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human world!" ("Cautionary Advice" in Falun Dafa- Essentials For Further Advancement).
Friends, I want to tell you that with my predestined relationship with Dafa, I am a living example of Falun Dafa cultivation. I used my heart to write this article to let my experiences tell the truth that - Falun Dafa is the REAL Buddha Law! It is mighty and powerful. Do not let evil propaganda blind your hearts and minds. Our Teacher is here to offer salvation to people. This is a very rare chance in the secular world!
In ancient times it was difficult to obtain the Buddha sutras. Now, the Great Buddha Law is in front of you, why are you hesitating?
To those who brutally tortured our fellow practitioners and me, I would like to advice you that: though you have made us lose our families and persecuted some practitioners to death, we do not have any grievance or regret for what we have done correctly. However, we are not weak. We are just hoping to use our compassion and forbearance to awaken your conscience, if you still have a little bit of conscience left.
