Solemn Declaration
I have been practicing Dafa for five years now. Dafa has not only purified my body, but also purified my heart. It was Teacher that gave me a second life. However, in March 2001, I was forced into a brainwashing center where I was forcefully brainwashed, and deceived and confused by those who had gone astray. In addition, I didn't study the Fa well and had so many attachments that the evil took advantage of, thus making me go astray and give up the Fa. Even worse, I began to persuade other practitioners to give up the practice, just as I did.
In the brainwashing center, I handed over all of my Dafa books and materials. During that period of time when I had gone astray, I was like a lost child; I had many questions in my heart for which I struggled for answers. It was Teacher's compassionate salvation and fellow practitioners' compassion that opened my heart again. Tears welled up in my eyes as I held Teacher's book Touring North America to Teach the Fa. My sorrow could not be expressed with any language. Teacher went to so much trouble to spread the Fa and save us. I, on the other hand, had deviated from Dafa and departed from Teacher, thus going astray. Now I have found it too late to repent! My heart has been filled with bitterness towards myself. Here, I would like to admit my mistakes and ask Teacher for forgiveness. I am unworthy of Teacher's compassionate salvation and the life given to me by Dafa. Here, I solemnly declare that everything I have said in the past--which deviated from Dafa--and everything I have written and done that was not consistent with Dafa is hereby null and void. During this last stage of Fa-rectification, I have decided to firmly practice Dafa and make up for the losses I had created. I hope to be a true practitioner and catch up with Teacher's Fa-rectification process.

Solemn Declaration
I began my cultivation practice in 1998. Falun Dafa's principle of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance) inspired me to be a good person and helped me realize why I should emphasize De (virtue). The practice made me healthy and happy.
In 1999, I was a student in the affiliated high school of Shandong Province Normal University. One day a worker from the Section of Security, and a teacher in charge of our class took me to the Section of Security. There, a young policeman heaped abuse on me, saying that if I continued to practice I would be "disrupting social order." Then an old policeman directly handed me a piece of paper and asked me to sign. After that, the secretary of the communist party came in and said that without signing the paper, I could not continue my schooling. He said I would be treated as if I voluntarily left school. The police also asked my mother to come. My mother was crying and sobbing, and telling me how hard it was to raise me as a high school student and how much I had disappointed her. The secretary of the Party also blamed me for not showing filial obedience. Under this high pressure, I signed the paper.
In 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal. However, the appealing office was full of policemen. They took me away without listening to me at all. I was detained in a suburban area of Beijing for one month. There was no light and no bed. Everyday criminals poured basins of cold water on me and beat me quite regularly.
After being taken back to Jinan City, I was detained in a hotel operated by the Guodian Town Physical School. There were various slanderous writings, pictures, and videotapes there. The first floor was a place especially set up for torturing practitioners. They turned the heat to the highest temperature and handcuffed the practitioners to a hot pipe in order to burn them until their skin and flesh became swollen and turned purple. If a practitioner was not yet "transformed," they would hang him up to a high pipe by handcuffs, making all the weight of his body hang from his hands. This caused the two hands to be swollen dark purple. The most inhuman person was the brigade leader, Tian, from the Jinan City's Brigade Against Violence, as well as a young policeman named Dong.
The newly detained practitioners were locked up on the first and second floors. In the first month, they were forced to listen to the slanders broadcast through loud speakers every day. If they still refused to give up their belief after one month, they would be sent to the third floor.
After I was incarcerated on the first floor for a month, I was also transferred to the third floor where they put me in the drawer-hole of a big desk and made me curl up. Then they stood a mop-pole close to my body. Any slight movement would make the pole fall. When this happened they would kick me rampantly. I had been suffering from this for three days and two nights, and it felt as if my two legs were broken. Afterwards, I was pulled out and cold water was poured on me. Then I was put on the balcony (it was winter). They told me that after this they were going to cuff me to the heating pipe and burn me. If this didn't work, they would send me to a forced labor camp. Just when I was hesitant, a policeman with a kinder face "helped" me out. In another room, he let me have a rest and gave me some water to drink (I hadn't drunk water for the past three days). Then, he gave me some evil books and pointed to an article that venomously slandered Falun Gong, saying, "The author of this article was here just two months before. Why are you so stubborn?"
At this point I did something that I should never have done: I wrote many more venomous words according to their dictation. Their requirement was that people must be extremely angered about Falun Gong after reading those materials.
Now I solemnly declare that everything I have ever written, including my "Repentance Letter," "Guarantee Letter" and "Criticizing Material" are null and void.

Declaration
I am a farmer who has not studied the Fa well enough. At about 11:00 p.m. on July 21, 2000, three policemen from the police station rushed into my house and said someone told them that I distributed flyers. They started to search my house, and though they found nothing, they took me to the police station and asked if I still practiced Dafa. I said yes. The director of the station said, "Why do you continue to practice when the leaders do not let you?" I said, "It is a good thing to keep myself healthy and to be a good person." The director said that someone told them I had distributed flyers. I told them that you cannot make decisions based on someone's words. I also told them that they should show me the proof. While heaping abuse on me, the director picked up an electric baton and said, "Come on, this is my proof." Then, several people tied my thumbs up with wires and shocked me with electricity, while at the same time asking if I delivered the flyers. I said no. The director held my hair and hit my face for a while. Then they cuffed me to a tree. After some time, they took me into the office and shocked me again, while still asking if I had distributed the flyers. Again, I said no. He then asked me, "What is your husband doing? What is your child doing?" I answered, "They work and go to school." They replied, "If you don't surrender, we can dismiss your husband and let him go home and then we will see if you still practice." After saying that, they cuffed me up to an iron pole for a whole night. In that situation, my attachment of fear and other attachments were all aroused. Thinking that I could not go home and that my husband would be fired if I continued to practice, I reluctantly wrote, "I will not practice."
After coming home and reading the articles by other practitioners on Clearwisdom, I realized that signing my name was a serious mistake, which not only stained my own cultivation progress, but also made a very bad impact on Dafa. Now I declare that my signature surrendered to the evil is null and void. From now on, I will make much effort to study the Fa and to help Teacher rectify the Fa by making up for the losses I brought before.

Solemn Declaration
In April 2002, the police came to my home and asked if I still practiced Falun Gong. Just because I said "yes," I was taken into a detention center and detained there for 37 days. Upon releasing me they asked, "After going home, will you doing anything illegal?" They then asked for my signature. I thought that as Dafa practitioners, we all follow "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance"; our conduct should be good everywhere we go, and we should even try to be selfless. So how could we do anything illegal? Thus, I signed under the sentence, "After leaving, I will not do anything illegal," thinking that I didn't do anything wrong. After going home and upon listening to the fellow practitioners point out my mistake, I came to understand that I had fallen into the evil's trap.
In order to suppress Falun Gong, the evil set up a series of so-called "legal procedures" which infringed upon human rights. They took for granted that signing under "I will not do anything illegal" meant quitting the practice of Falun Gong. However, I myself didn't see through the evil's sinister intentions. I solemnly declared that in May of 2002, the signature I signed under "I will not do anything illegal" was null and void. I will never quit my practice as long as I am alive and I will follow Teacher's procedure to rectify the Fa while doing righteously what I should do in the progress of the Fa rectifying the world.
