(Clearwisdom.net) Every year for over a decade, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has intensified the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners during its annual meetings of the National Congress and the Political Consultative Conference. They did so also on other sensitive dates, such as October 1 (the Party’s National day). The CCP constantly accelerates its persecution, while Dafa disciples’ peaceful resistance has matured. In the meantime, though, we should never forget to offer sentient beings salvation. Instead of simply blaming the old forces’ evil persecution and interference, we should look inside ourselves and take responsibility.

In the past two years I was illegally arrested twice, but with Master's protection I was able to get out of detention each time.

The local police frequently came to knock on my door before the two meetings (from late January to March, 2011). One day they came again when we held group Fa study at my residence. We stopped reading the Fa and began sending righteous thoughts for an extended time, and they were eventually driven away.

After the practitioners left, I pondered what happened and decided to clarify the truth to the people employed at my former work unit, the Security Section, and the Neighborhood Association. My former colleagues greeted me warmly. I told them how I had been persecuted over the past two years: “Two years ago, the local police came to my residence and accused me of sending dozens of letters. They said that I was involved in a serious crime. I told them that I had nothing to do with that case. Without any evidence, they confiscated my computer and printer. They arrested me and held me in the local detention center. I got out that same day because local police station officials bailed me out, so that they could interrogate me later. The police even returned the computer to my son last March, telling him the investigation was almost over. But because they did not see me in person, they suddenly claimed I had become a fugitive; and as a result 610 Office agents locked me up in April.”

At that moment one of my colleagues said, “The police were thugs.” I continued, “Ten days later, I got out of the detention center. This time, the local police turned my case in to the Procuratorate, where the judge said that I had mailed more than 140 letters since 2006 that contained Falun Gong information, and the computer they had returned to my son could be used as evidence. I replied, ‘I was imprisoned the whole time in 2006, and was hospitalized in 2009 after being tortured by policemen. After leaving the hospital I decided to leave my residence, to avoid being persecuted by local government personnel. During that time I stayed in the mountains by myself and hardly had anyone to talk to; how could I have mailed over 140 letters?”

I continued, “A gang of policemen knocked frantically on my door on February 24 and 25, but I refused to open the door for them.” Everyone listening commented, “You’re absolutely right! You should not open the door for them. They’re a gang of thugs!”

Then I went to the Security office where I found a man whom I met at the jail when I was released. He greeted me warmly. When I told him how the police knocked on my door, he said, “During the two meetings they were afraid that you might go out.” I said, “I only want to practice Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I don’t want to deal with politics at all.” He said, “If you’ve improved your physical health after practicing, then go ahead and practice; but don’t mention Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” I told him, “The three words are exactly what we follow. If we hadn’t followed those three words we wouldn’t have improved our physical health!” I told him again how the policemen knocked on my door numerous times. He said, “Yes, they shouldn’t have gone to your residence to bother you anymore. I’ll tell them to come to me next time.” He called the local police office right away and told them to talk to him personally when they needed to.

After that I went to talk to the people at the Neighborhood Association and said, “I was told that our Neighborhood Association notified people that anyone who catches a Falun Gong practitioner will get a monetary reward of 5,000 yuan. Why don’t you catch criminals instead? Falun Gong practitioners follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to be good people. Why do you keep harassing these good people?” No one responded immediately to what I said; neither did anyone nod their heads in agreement. They all knew how I had been persecuted. Later on, one person called the local police station and told them that instead of going to my residence to harass me, the police should come talk to the people at the Neighborhood Association when there was a need.

Other practitioners helped me to get directions to go from one office to another, and told me to whom I should speak with that day. When I got to my former work unit that afternoon, the CCP General Secretary approached me and said, “Someone from the Security Section came to talk to me this morning. We should no longer allow any police officer to arrest you.”

I told him, “The food in the prison was worse than food for pigs. I was forced to do hard labor. I totally lost my personal freedom and was even monitored when I relieved myself in the toilet. I was tortured so badly that I had become like a skeleton; the guards poured cold water on me in the winter.” The Secretary said, “Since the two meetings are in session you should be careful; don’t go outside.” The secretary escorted me all the way out of the office building. I had the support from everyone I spoke with that day.

Right now, I use the third person’s perspective to clarify the truth to people. If the evil forces harass me, I will expose their deeds. There was a business office on the first floor in my apartment building. About 30 people work there. I went in to tell them of the persecution that I had suffered. To my surprise they said, “If the police come, don’t open the door, even if they knock on your door really hard.” They openly stood on my side; some even requested Falun Gong information. Afterwards, a young woman told me that after that day a policeman showed them a picture of me and asked them about my whereabouts. But they told him that they had never seen me before, and he could not find me there. Hearing that, I felt happy for them, knowing that they had learned the truth of Falun Gong.
