My Fa-rectification Story of Resisting the Evil in Every Situation While in a Forced Labor Camp

Oct. 22, 2002 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.Net)

Because of Jiang's criminal regime's persecution of Falun Dafa I was forced to become homeless and destitute in order to avoid repeated illegal arrest. Less than 20 days after I was released from a forced labor camp, my husband was abducted for a second time. As a result of the persecution my family was forced apart.

One day, when I was walking along a street in Beijing, several plainclothes policemen suddenly emerged. They captured me and pushed me into a vehicle. I was detained in the Beijing Detention Center for four days before they informed the local police station in my hometown. I resisted the persecution and tried to escape and get back to my hometown. To their surprise, while waiting for a plane at the airport, I was able to run away. However, they captured me again soon after. They violently twisted my arms from behind and pushed my head to the point that I could hardly breathe. I did not yield. Instead, with all my strength, I shouted out, " Falun Dafa is good! The police are capturing good people! Falun Dafa is righteous!" They then dragged me to the police substation at the airport. The crowd witnessed the violence of the police.

The next day, eight policemen came from the south and tried to escort me back to Guangdong Province by train. On the train, even when I went to the toilet, they followed me and stood by me. I said, "That's too much! I did nothing wrong but practice Falun Gong. You're violating my human rights! You are using so much manpower and resources to deal with one female." They ate and drank extravagantly and then asked the conductor to issue a receipt of over 700 Yuan [Equal to over one month average income of an ordinary worker in China.]

I was illegally sentenced to one year in the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. When I arrived, several former practitioners who had disavowed Falun Dafa after enduring torture tried to brainwash me. Failing to do so, the labor camp authorities specifically sent two other people to force me to give up my practice and belief in Falun Dafa. After spending time with me, these two people changed their hearts and wrote "solemn statements" to void the forced brainwashing they had experienced and vowed to continue to practice. Under these circumstances, the forced labor camp guards transferred me to the Third Team. After over three months, they transferred me again to the Second Team, detaining me together with another practitioner who was not allowed to go to the washroom simply because she had resisted the brainwashing. We were detained in a cell under "strict supervision." Five people who had renounced their practice were told to see us and force us to disavow Falun Dafa. Once, when senior officials came to inspect the forced labor camp, guards tried to move us downstairs for fear that we might expose their crimes. We refused, so they started to drag us. Loudly, we shouted phrases about the goodness of Falun Dafa. The vicious thugs took off our socks and stuffed them into our mouths, together with some filthy rags. As a result our mouths were injured. Then the team leader Wang X started to shout verbal abuses at us, dragging and pushing us down at the same time. As we were being dragged downstairs, we began to recite Teacher's articles, and the thugs snuck away. Since we were under "strict supervision" we were not allowed to speak. I protested, "Who gave you the right? Why don't you allow us to speak? Even Jiang doesn't have the right!" Our powerful righteous thoughts shocked the evil and the environment changed a bit.

Once, a policewoman found Teacher's articles and suspected me of disseminating these articles. So they called me in for questioning, "Somebody said that you are the one responsible for disseminating the articles." I responded, "Then you can ask him. I don't know. Don't talk to me in a tone that you use with criminals. I will not respond to your demands." I stood up and started to leave. The policemen dragged me back and told me to sit down. I refused and said, "How can a noble Falun Dafa practitioner do whatever you ask him to do?" They then shouted abuses at me and said, "Since the opening of the forced labor camp, you're the first one who dares to deal with police like this. You're really too aggressive." I answered, "I have no hatred for you. I am talking about the case as it stands, not about the people." At the time, the team leader Wang X burst into abusing Dafa and Teacher again. I insisted that she stop her slandering words. In the end, they let me go back since they couldn't get anything from me. Teacher said, "If a cultivator can let go of the thought of life and death under any circumstance, evil is sure to be afraid of him. If every student is able to do this, evil will of itself no longer exist." (Eliminate Your Last Attachments) This principle of Fa manifested itself to me.

Another time, Wang X came with some other policemen to our cell to do a body search. She pinched the other practitioner's arms. The next day, her arms turned all black and blue. I thought that I should expose this to the entire team. When the other police came to examine the cells, I helped the practitioner explain the abuse to them. One of the policemen said, "It's none of your business. Let her tell us herself." I answered, "Her business is my business. Pinching her is like pinching me. I must care about it. On television they often broadcast the slogan "to run the country with virtues and law." What laws do you follow? What virtues do you have? I'll let people all over the world know the crimes you have committed after I am released." They said, "Your term will be extended if you do so." I replied loudly, " I am not even afraid of death." At the time, I felt I was tall enough to reach heaven and no evil could move me at all.

Whichever team they transferred me to, I kept resisting the evil. I didn't wear a prisoner's uniform, I didn't read materials or watch videos defaming Dafa, I didn't participate in the forced labor work, I didn't get up to answer the "roll call." In a word, I didn't participate in any activities designed by the forced labor camp to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. They extended my term by three more months. At the end of the term they still didn't release me; instead, they detained me in a forced brainwashing class. About twenty days later, I walked out of the forced labor camp nobly with my powerful righteous thoughts and Teacher's protection.
