[Minghui Net]

I obtained the Fa in December 1998. Through studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, I realized how to live as a human being, how to be a nice person, and how to be a genuine practitioner. Dafa can upgrade a person's morality, and enable practitioners to succeed in self-cultivation.

Eight months after I obtained the Fa [universal law and principle], Jiang Zemin and his accomplices started to slander and persecute Dafa. In order to appeal for our Teacher and for Dafa, I firmly resolved to go to Beijing. On the way, I was arrested by the police and sent back to a detention center. In the detention center, the policemen used electric batons, rubber tubes, and iron chains to brutally torture Dafa practitioners. They tried to diminish the practitioners' determination. Since I insisted on practicing the exercises, the guards stripped off my clothes, cursed and beat me. They also whipped me, using wet rubber hoses (a wet rubber hose will cause more pain and injury during beating than one without water.). After several days' torture, my whole body was covered with wounds; I became disoriented, but my steadfast heart toward Dafa was never shaken. In order to evade responsibility, the detention center sent me to a mental hospital. I struggled and protested, but who would believe me? The staff in the mental hospital forcibly medicines into my mouth; I would vomit them out in the bathroom. They then pressed me flat on the bed and injected me. After several days, even the doctors realized that I was not like what the detention center had described to them. One month later, my family members paid a deposit of 3000 Yuan (about six month salary of an averaged worker in cities of China) as a guarantee not to appeal, and took me home. However, the detention center and the TV station labeled me as a case of "cultivation insanity" in order to maliciously attack our Teacher and Dafa.

My heart was bleeding; I had to clarify the truth to the public, and so I set out for Beijing again. Again, I was caught on the way. This time, I started to promote Dafa to the guards, and persuaded them not to persecute Dafa practitioners. I told them that practitioners were innocent, that I did not hate them, but that they were committing a crime by persecuting me. One guard later said, "After beating you, I went home feeling discomfort."

I was soon sentenced to one year in a labor camp in Changchun City, where the guards used all means to torture Dafa practitioners. They vainly attempted to change Dafa practitioners. My first tribulation was being forced to remain standing for two consecutive days and nights; my two hands, strapped by a belt, became black and blue from swelling. They did not allow me to sleep. During my second tribulation, they tied me tightly to a chair and applied electric shock. I still refused to break from Dafa. The guards began to bash and kick me. After they became tired, they asked the inmates to continue the torture. They also held me to the ground and kicked me. My clothes were torn into shreds, my right eye bled, and my face became swollen. I lost consciousness. The guards had already completely lost their human nature; they cursed Dafa, Teacher, and me. They shut me in a special cold cell and handcuffed my hands to the cold iron rungs on the back of my chair. My clothes were destroyed, I was trembling because of the cold and the wounds on my body, eyes, and face-- the pain was quite unendurable. But I wanted to endure for Dafa, and for all living beings. I could feel the Falun spinning in my damaged eyes. After being handcuffed in the special cell for seven days and nights, I was once again tortured to the point of becoming disoriented. In order to escape responsibility, the detention center labeled me as a mental patient and again released me. (My family paid the 3000 Yuan deposit again.) I was not sick at all. They are using kindhearted people's money to ruin kindhearted people.
