(Minghui.org) I’m 63 years old and began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Like countless other practitioners, I suffered from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s brutal persecution. I firmly believe in Falun Dafa and I continue to clarify the truth to people to expose the Party’s egregious human rights violations. Many practitioners experienced first-hand that through their persistent efforts, people including police officers and prison guards are awakening. I’d like to share a few stories with you.
Everyone in a Detention Center Cell Knew the Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation Was Fabricated
Ms. Liu Fang (alias) was arrested and taken to a detention center in 2001 for practicing Falun Dafa. Her upright behavior influenced many inmates. The detention center sold daily necessities to the inmates and charged two to three times more than the market price. A few inmates could not even afford toilet paper as their families did not deposit any money for them. Ms. Liu and a few other Falun Dafa practitioners in the cell cut their own expenses so they could buy daily necessities for those inmates whose own families did not support them. The practitioners also shared their clothes with them. The inmates commented, “Falun Dafa practitioners are all kind. They are nothing like what the CCP media says about them in the news!”
There were frequent fights among inmates. However, they gradually changed their behavior after staying with practitioners and witnessing how they acted in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. One day an inmate was yelling at everyone, but as soon as she saw Ms. Liu, she immediately stopped. Another time an inmate was describing her criminal experience to others. Ms. Liu looked at her seriously. She immediately realized it was wrong and stopped.
Most inmates began to restrain their bad behavior and made positive changes. Some of them could recite Master Li Hongzhi’s poems. Others learned all the Falun Dafa exercises. One woman who was a murderer expressed her remorse and said, “If I met Falun Dafa practitioners earlier, I would not have committed the murder. I really did not know something so good and pure as Dafa existed in the world.” When the guards searched the room, the inmates in charge usually helped practitioners hide Master’s teachings.
One inmate had constipation for many years, and her situation became worse after she was detained. One day she suddenly exclaimed, “Falun Dafa truly is amazing! My constipation disappeared after I did the exercises with practitioners!”
Some guards also understood Falun Dafa is good after interacting with practitioners for a long time. They told the inmates, “You should talk with the Falun Dafa practitioners more and learn from their virtuous behavior.” A guard told a few practitioners, “Thank you very much. Because you set very good examples, there have been far fewer fights.”
The CCP ordered all the detention centers to broadcast CCTV’s “Tiananmen Square self-immolation” video fabricated by the CCP and forced prisoners to write down their thoughts. Inmates in the cell wrote, “We use plastic bottles here every day to carry hot water. When the plastic bottles are too hot, they become deformed, But on TV, the man named Wang Jindong was completely burned, yet the plastic bottle between his legs remained intact. What is more strange is that the bottle was filled with gasoline, according to CCTV. So we all agree that the so-called Tiananmen Square Self-immolation broadcast by CCTV is fabricated by the CCP.” Even the guards chuckled when they read this.
Elderly Chinese Medicine Doctor Admires Falun Dafa Around the World
Practitioner Xiaozhou (alias) met an elderly doctor of Chinese medicine while talking to people about Falun Dafa in 2020. Doctor Wang was born in 1944, and his acupuncture and massage skills were passed down in his family. Since he is highly skilled, he often treats government officials and knows how corrupt the CCP is.
He told Xiaozhou, “The government once told me that they would apply for cultural heritage for my skills. I asked them whether it was free, and they said they needed to collect money. I told them I did not want to pay to use my skills. I told them if they felt my skills were up to the standard, they could apply for me. I said not to do it otherwise. The Communist Party forces everyone to focus on money. People are so focused on money they can no longer tell what is good or bad. Everything is measured by money. It’s too difficult to spread genuine traditional Chinese culture in this society. I tried to spread my ancestral skills but failed. I can only teach my daughter what I know.”
Xiaozhou told Doctor Wang that Falun Dafa and its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are practiced in over 100 countries despite being brutally persecuted by the CCP in China for over 20 years. It shocked Dr. Wang, who said, “In 1992 I attended the Oriental Health Expo in Beijing and I saw Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. He was over 40 years old but looked very young. Falun Dafa was a rising star at that expo. Later the CCP saw there were so many people practicing Falun Dafa and began to ban it. I am surprised Falun Dafa is practiced all over the world even though it’s banned in China.”
Xiaozhou replied, “Yes, Falun Dafa improves people’s morals and gives them healthy bodies. It is the righteous Fa and the great way. Falun Dafa spread from person to person and heart to heart. It does not use money or power. Every Falun Dafa practitioner has benefited greatly in body and mind, so they tell others with their true hearts that Falun Dafa is good and is persecuted by CCP. In fact, they use their own income to print informational materials for one purpose: They hope people won’t be deceived by CCP’s lies and have negative thoughts against the universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. If people conform to the will of Heaven, they will have a bright future.”
Dr. Wang expressed his admiration and asked Xiaozhou to help him withdraw from the Young Pioneers, a youth organization of the CCP. He also accepted the brochure from Xiaozhou. “After talking with you, I now understand that withdrawing from CCP and its affiliated organizations has nothing to do with politics. I want to learn more about Falun Dafa,” he said.
Police Chief: World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance
Practitioner Qiaoyun (alias) passed by the local police station during Chinese New Year in 2021. She saw a group of police officers and greeted them. She also noticed the police chief was there and greeted him. Qiaoyun had already helped the chief withdraw from the CCP, but she hadn’t seen him for a year and wanted to talk with him about the pandemic.
Qiaoyun was previously arrested by officers from this police station for practicing Falun Dafa. She went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and was released. She later clarified the truth to the officers, and many police understood and privately supported practitioners. A few officers told her they did not want to persecute Falun Dafa but were under a lot of pressure from higher authorities. They always reminded practitioners to pay attention to safety.
The chief said to Qiaoyun, “The coronavirus pandemic was really severe when it broke out in Wuhan. But now it is controlled well in China. Isn’t the CCP doing a good job?” Qiaoyun replied, “The pandemic in Taiwan has been mild, but there is no Communist Party in Taiwan. How would you explain it?” The director mumbled, “There is no Communist Party in Taiwan...What’s in Taiwan? Oh, I see. There are many Falun Dafa practitioners in Taiwan! My friends who traveled to Taiwan told me they always see practitioners in many places. He even showed me photos of them practicing the exercises in public.”
Then he asked , “Where in the world has the greatest population of Falun Dafa practitioners?” Qiaoyun replied, “China has the largest population of practitioners. At its peak there were more than 100 million people practicing Falun Dafa in China. A few hundred thousand people in Taiwan practice Falun Dafa.”
The chief said, “The world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Dafa practitioners have high moral standards and can truly stabilize society. People who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will not attract the plague or natural disasters. Can I understand it this way?”
Qiaoyun praised him and said, “Your understanding is very good!”
