(Clearwisdom.net) When police from the local station phoned me up and came twice to my home in attempts to force me to write a guarantee letter, I refused to sign. My fellow practitioners prompted me to leave my home and lie low for a while. However, I could not leave my two young children, and as a result, I was arrested and forced to attend a brainwashing class in the Shiwandian Rest House in Harbin on November 7, 2002.
After that, each time I was arrested, I forced myself to maintain a clear mind, as well as to refuse to cooperate with anyone who persecuted me. I understood that I should totally deny all the arrangements by the evil old forces. With a persistent righteous mind I recited the Fa during the brainwashing classes, and went on a hunger strike as protest. I demanded that my release be unconditional. The "610 Office" used subtle methods to get me to eat, and after they failed, they revealed their fierce looks and told me to write three guarantee letters otherwise they would further detain me and send me to a labour camp.
The police brought my 76-year-old mother and two young children, who had no one to take care of them, and attempted to force me to give up my practice by threatening my relatives. I read the Fa, silently recited the Fa-rectification formulas, and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind the "610 Office" officials and their assistants, and hoped that their kind nature would shine through and save them.
I then sent righteous thoughts towards the high-level old forces that had arranged my situation. I sternly reminded them that our Master said: "I'd say that no one is worthy of testing Dafa. Yet they have, so they've committed a sin," (Guiding the Voyage, "Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference"). Regarding the Fa-rectification, whoever interfered with it has made a great sin. If you insisted upon your arrangements, what awaited you would be elimination. However, if you changed your notions and assimilated to the Fa before the Fa-Rectification of the human world, there would be hope yet. Master has arranged the path of Fa-rectification for Dafa disciples. The old forces are not allowed any excuse to persecute and disturb the Fa-rectification by Dafa disciples.
Every day I kept sending righteous thoughts, and I asked Master to help me break out of that demonic place. Since I persisted with my righteous thoughts every day, a miracle occurred. When I got up on the morning of 24th, I heard that the security guard had gone out on business. At around 7 am, somebody suddenly shouted that the building was on fire. I ran out and saw that there was heavy smoke coming from the educators' office. I enlightened that Master arranged this opportunity for me to escape. I ran out. I was happy to see that Master was also assisting me while I was running. I didn't encounter anyone as I ran from the second floor to the ground floor and then out the gate. Thus, I left the brainwashing class openly and nobly.
Through my experience, I realized that when we dare to face the evil beings and validate Dafa, and when we refuse to accept the persecution, that these acts themselves are righteous thoughts. Just like what Teacher said: "Indestructible righteous faith in the cosmos's Truth forms benevolent Dafa disciples' rock-solid, Diamond-Like Bodies, it frightens all evil, and the light of Truth it emanates makes the unrighteous elements in all beings' thoughts disintegrate. However strong the righteous thoughts are, that's how great the power is." ("Also in a Few Words") Steadfast righteous thoughts are very important for Dafa disciples. When our righteous thoughts were not strong, we were persecuted. Only when Dafa disciples live up to this standard can Teacher easily step in to protect us, and will the old forces stand speechless before Him.
