(Clearwisdom.net) On January 27, 2002, nineteen Falun Gong practitioners detained in the Anshan Third Detention Center in Liaoning Province simply walked out of the detention center. By 8:30 p.m. on January 29, 2002, the Anshan Police Station had called in thousands of officers to try to recapture the nineteen Falun Gong practitioners, while the head of the detention center and the police on duty during the escape were summarily fired and will be replaced.

On Sunday, January 27, 2002, soon after practitioners around the entire world had sent forth righteous thoughts at 6:00 a.m., a practitioner in room 203 of the Anshan Third Detention Center discovered that one of the staff members had forgotten to lock the door, so this practitioner immediately informed many other practitioners. We all rushed to get dressed. Then two practitioners went out and opened two more cell doors where practitioners were being detained and helped them out. As all of us walked down the long hallway, one practitioner was quietly reminding us to send forth righteous thoughts.

Still sending forth righteous thoughts, we came to the big hall downstairs where a man was mopping the floor. Altogether we sent forth righteous thoughts towards him. He was immediately "frozen," watching us walk out of his sight one by one. Meanwhile, a man in the clinic was also looking at us, but he never moved. We walked out of the building. We kept sending forth righteous thoughts and came to the big black metal door. Facing the huge closed door, we put up our palms to send forth righteous thoughts, asking Master for the strength to get out of there.

At this point, other personnel located on the patio watched us without making any moves. They turned their heads and looked at us, but didn't do anything. Only a few minutes had passed, but it felt like a very long time, and the big metal door was still unopened. Suddenly, several male practitioners walked out of the building and joined us. One of them had been on a hunger strike for days and was very weak. We understood that our merciful Master didn't want give up on a single disciple. Now, all nineteen practitioners were present.

Just before these male practitioners arrived, something amazing happened: the huge metal door slowly opened. We rushed through the doorway, but found another electronic metal door getting ready to close. At this crucial moment, a female practitioner rushed to the second door and used her body to prop it open. We rushed out of the door one by one.

Incredibly, when we were exhausted from running, three cabs showed up right in front of us. This situation was truly amazing, that there would be any taxis, early in the morning, out here in the countryside. Our feelings at that moment could not be expressed in words, and our eyes filled with tears. We said, "Master, we all know this is all your merciful arrangement!"
