Resisting the Evil to Validate Dafa, Breaking Free From Masanjia Labor Camp with Righteous Thoughts (Part 4) Written by a Falun Gong Practitioner in China (Clearwisdom.net) (continued) Su Jing, the manager of No. 2 female forced labor camp, is a "model" character in
persecuting Falun Gong, and the most deeply poisoned by Jiang's regime. At times I tried to clarify
the truth to her, expose the evil of Jiang, and use a righteous voice to awaken her conscience, so
she could have a chance to position herself on the side of goodness. Unfortunately, not only did she
not listen, but she also accused me of being a counter-revolutionary. She persecutes kind people
using the methods that the Party used to persecute people in previous political movements like the
Cultural Revolution. She also ordered every inmate to read a book that slanders Teacher and Falun Gong. I sent forth
righteous thoughts every time they read, and told them they were committing sins. Not only did they
not listen; instead they continued to read in turn. At that time, because my mind was not steady
when I sent forth righteous thoughts, I did not achieve the effect. I could not stand to listen
anymore, so I found an opportunity to destroy two of the books. I told them: "This book
slanders Falun Gong and Teacher. Whenever I see one, I will destroy it." They called the police
brigade chief to reprimand me. I patiently clarified the truth to her, exposed the evil, told her
she must destroy the book that slanders Dafa and not let it continuously poison people. Since then,
they hid the evil book so I won't see it. After validating the Fa many times, I came to understand that if we can truly give up our lives
to protect Dafa, the evil will be really terrified. During that period, CCTV [Chinese Central
Television] broadcasted programs that slandered Dafa nearly every day. The forced labor camp
showed videos of fabricated CCTV "Focal Reports" several times a week. The forced labor
camp even published a newspaper, intending to use the broadcasts and newspapers to poison
practitioners. I often shouted: "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" Facing such evil since March 31, 2002, all the practitioners in No. 2 brigade, myself included,
started to resist the evil by refusing to work and conducting hunger strikes. We suffered tremendous
torment during the hunger strike. The policemen locked up fellow practitioners Li Ping (female), Shi
Xiuzhen (female) and Wang Yangling (female) in small cells, and detained me in a separate room. On
the 8th day of my hunger strike, they started to force feed me and put me on an IV. I
refused to cooperate, so they tied me up in bed with my hands cuffed. I had three requests: restore
our human rights, allow me to practice the exercises and study Falun Gong literature, and
unconditionally release me. From the manager to the brigade leader in the forced labor camp, no one
admitted they had the authority to comply with my requests. So I continued my hunger strike. My
fellow practitioners and I persisted in our hunger strikes day by day, and month by month. During
the hunger strike, we kept reciting the book and practicing the exercises. Actually in that
environment, practicing the exercises was to verify Dafa and resist the evil. During that period,
they showed the video about the "Sinosat" incident and I told them, "The Satellite
Interception Incident is probably fabricated, to make the populace hate Dafa. But if it is true,
then it saves sentient beings and lets people in remote and mountainous areas know the truth about
the persecution. You are slandering Dafa by showing this video." I then shouted "Falun
Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is righteous Fa!" When they showed the video in the evening, I shouted
in the evening. When they showed the video in the morning, I shouted in the morning. I also sat with
both legs crossed, held right hand vertically in front of my chest and sent forth righteous
thoughts. I loudly proclaimed words of truth almost every day. During my hunger strike, there were a
few times I could hardly bear it anymore. Our compassionate Teacher strengthened me, and gave me
hints in my dreams: study the Fa more and keep righteous thoughts to break through the tribulation.
Under the protection and care of Teacher, I did what a Dafa practitioner should do. I recited one
sentence from Teacher's article "Drive Out Interference": "The Fa can break all
attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen
righteous thoughts." When I concentrated fully on reciting the contents of the book and
practicing the exercises, I did not feel as much pain. Our compassionate, great Teacher bore it for
me again. I could not hold my tears. During the times between force-feeding me they feared I would pull out the tube that was inserted
into my nose, so they tied me up in bed almost every day. I felt burning pain from my nose to my
stomach. My back was in excruciating pain and felt as if my back was broken. Even so, they did not
untie me until I coughed up a mouthful of blood. They did not allow me to use the toilet. The inside
of my mouth was seriously injured. It was too painful to sleep at night, so I practiced the
exercises. When I was discovered, they would not let me practice and poured salty flour and
persimmon juice into my mouth. The pain made me sweat. Once when I was being force fed, they poured
lots of salty flour into my mouth. I could not bear it and spit it all out. Then they tortured me.
The brigade leader ordered a collaborator [former Falun Gong practitioner who has gone astray due
to brainwashing and torture] to force feed me directly into my mouth. At the time, my mouth was
too painful bear being touched. She used a big thick syringe like a crowbar and put it between my
upper and lower teeth; she even broke some of my teeth. She firmly pinched my nose, sat on me and
poured salty corn soup into my mouth. I suffered severe pain, but did not swallow the soup. She
said, "Use a towel to block her mouth," [to keep her from spitting out the soup]. She also
said, "Let's see how long she can stand it. Suffocate her." The brigade leader asked her
not to release me until I almost passed out from the suffocation. Then they slapped me on my face to
keep me awake. The director and the deputy director repeatedly tried to get me to eat. They even tried to bribe
me, saying, "After you eat, tell me your address, and we will send you home." I said,
"If you comply with my three requests, I will eat. I left home to tell the truth and verify
Dafa in Beijing. I did not want to come to this infamous Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. You illegally
kidnapped me and are detaining me here. This is not a place for good people. If you want me to
leave, then send me to Beijing. I want to tell Jiang that Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa." They
got scared and started to videotape me. They kept notes on when I shouted Falun Dafa is good, what
time I practiced exercises and what I said. They said they would send me to Dabei Jail if I got
enough "bad points." I replied, "I am not afraid of death. How could I be afraid of
jail?" I did not stop the hunger strike, so they continuously force fed me. Every division brigade leader tried persuasion and intimidation to get me to eat. I firmly
resisted, and pulled out the tube many times. I persisted in the truth, giving up everything without
resentment or regret. During the period, the policemen covertly took photos of me in an attempt to
find out my home address. I sent forth righteous thoughts not allowing them to find my home. They
also video recorded when they force fed me. When I found out, they lied to me, saying that was to
let me introduce Falun Gong. They also brought a tape recorder, and let me shout Falun Gong is good.
I was in no way taken in. So I sat with both legs crossed and both hands joined, and did not say one
word. My lips did not move, so they could not fabricate anything. They tried to use all manner of
deceit, but could not change my true and righteous belief in Teacher and Falun Gong. That's how I broke through tribulations one by one under the protection and care of compassionate
Teacher. On July 9, 2002, the evil in Masanjia yielded to me, a Dafa practitioner. I did not tell
my name and address and used an alias "Zheng Shi." They unconditionally released me. Until
the day I was released, my hunger strike lasted 100 days. On that day when I was released, the brigade leader and doctors from the medical department came.
They said they wanted to send me to the hospital. Before I left, I weighed myself in the medical
office. Before I came to Masanjia, I weighed 70kgs (154 lbs.), but now I weighed only 35kgs
(77lbs.). My hair became white and my body bent. However I am energetic, and I know the true
situation in my heart. The second Brigade Leader Zhang came in and said to me, "Zheng Shi, I anxiously await your
death." I told her seriously, "A Dafa practitioner's body is extraordinary; I won't
die." More than 10 people came to see me leave including the director, deputy director and the
brigade leader. I clarified the truth to them for the last time, "If you remember that Falun
Gong is good, you will have truly wonderful futures." They asked me to get in a jeep, with two plainclothes officers. The car started, I shouted:
"Falun Dafa is righteous Fa!" I knew I was not going to the hospital, and I was very calm.
I have Teacher and Dafa, so I am not scared wherever I go. The plainclothes asked my name and
address, so he could send me home. I said, "I asked for an unconditional release. Please pull
over and I can walk." I also told him, "Cherishing Dafa is cherishing your own life."
The plainclothes let me get out at a place very far from Masanjia. The evil in Masanjia that had detained me and persecuted me could only shake their heads when
talking about me. Because I am a Dafa practitioner, they were unable to undermine my superiority and
change my righteous thoughts; one righteous thought of mine suppressed one hundred evils of Masanjia. Under the protection of compassionate Teacher, I survived 575 difficult days and nights. Teacher
was beside me and watched my every step. Every time I think about it, my tears fall... Actually,
Teacher already arranged for me to leave the den of evildoers earlier, gave me hints in dreams to
resist the arrangements of old forces, and even arranged how I could start on a journal. I blame
myself for not making every effort to succeed; I did not listen to Teacher and missed an
opportunity. Actually, those people who enlightened along an evil path, who are reformed, or who cannot step
forward and walk out of their humanness, are not diligent. They are attached to comfort and showing
off, and they cannot overcome tribulations with compassion, etc. When we cannot put down fame,
self-interest and sentimentality, and use a human mentality, we block ourselves from the Fa. We
separate ourselves from the Fa and our true selves. We cannot pass the tribulation if we do not
think, speak and act in accordance with the Fa. We cannot drive out evil interference if we have not
studied the Fa well. We cannot break through human frames if our righteous faith is not deep and our
righteous thoughts are not strong. We must at all times have righteous faith in Teacher and Dafa,
act in accordance with the Fa at every moment, study the Fa well, continuously improve ourselves in
the Fa, have strong righteous faith and thoughts, and continuously get rid of attachments. We must
do well with the three things that Teacher reminds us to do: "Study the Fa, send for the
righteous thoughts, clarify the truth." Only then will we not disappoint the mercy of great
Teacher for saving us with every effort. (The End) Please see Parts 1, 2 and 3 on http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/12/26/30178.html http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/12/31/30352.html Posting date: 1/10/2003 |
