On November 3, 1998, I began jogging every morning to keep fit. On the third day, November 5, as I was jogging and about to make a turn, I heard a voice above me saying, "Keep running forward! Keep running forward! Keep running forward!" It repeated 3 times.

Where did it come from? There was no one in front of me. I turned around, and nobody was behind me, either. So I kept jogging to the next intersection, and then turned back. I saw a lot of people practicing meditation in front of the Chinese Construction Bank. I didn't pay attention and continued jogging.

The next day, I again heard the voice that told me to run forward. This time, I stopped in front of the Construction Bank. I saw a large banner that said, "Falun Dafa - Free Instructions." A number of Falun Dafa practitioners sat on the ground to meditate. I continued jogging, but I felt at a loss. I really wanted to return to the practice site. So I turned around.

When I came back to the practice site, a woman with salt-and-pepper hair rose from the ground. I asked her, a little out of breath, whether I could learn the practice. She smiled and said, "Of course you can. If you are really interested, come back tonight to attend the Teacher's lectures."

That evening, I attended the video lecture series. They were playing Lecture Four. After the lecture, another elderly woman told me, "The woman who taught you the exercises this morning has practiced for 3 years. She can sit in meditation for one and a half hours. This morning, she only meditated for 45 minutes and wanted to get up. She said a voice was telling her, 'Get up now, someone is coming.' Who was coming? It was you. You must have a strong predestined relationship, and Master has arranged for you to come here."

Looking back, I still remember everything very vividly. I truly appreciate Master's compassionate salvation!

I live on the outskirts of a county, adjacent to a city. On the night of April 4, 2004, a fellow practitioner and I went to the city to distribute truth-clarification materials. We were arrested in the early morning hours of April 5.

The police took me to the police station and asked me many questions. When the workday began, they sent me to an office building and prepared to officially interrogate me.

Through their conversations, I figured out that one of the people in the room was the police chief. Later I learned that his name was Zhou Zuolin, and he was also director of the municipal 610 Office. He was very brutal and kept beating me. I refused to cooperate no matter what they did. I tried to clarify the facts with every opportunity I had. The police chief had no patience for me. He kicked me and said, "You are talking too much! You are trying to convert us."

When the workday was over, they brought me to the receptionist's office. Two policemen watched me. One of them sat by the door, the other sat beside me on the couch. I sent forth righteous thoughts, asking Master to freeze them so I could leave.

After about half an hour, I stood up. They had no reaction. I put my hands in my sleeves to hide the handcuffs, and walked out of the receptionist's office. When I reached the main gate of the office building, I saw the police chief and a policeman near the gate. I hesitated. I looked back at the two policemen who were supposed to be watching me, and they were still sitting there just as before. I decided to let go of my fear and escape from the evil place.

The police chief and the policeman did not say anything, as though they didn't see me at all. When I left the city, I walked home on back roads, away from main thoroughfares. Just as Master said,

"When disciples have ample righteous thoughts
Master has the power to turn back the tide."
