80 Year-Old Woman Experiences Repeated Persecution for Her Belief
(Clearwisdom.net October 13, 2003) Ms. Sun Shulan is a Dafa practitioner
in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. She is 80 years old and has never had any
formal education. However, she can read through the entire book Zhuan Falun
and all of Master Li' articles.
In early October of 2001, she traveled to Beijing by train to validate Dafa
and was arrested on Tiananmen Square. The police only witnessed her saying Dafa
is good and doing nothing else to co-operate with them. So, they deceived her by
saying, "You are old, you cannot endure the metal bed and chair torture
here. You do not need to give us your name and you do not need to sign you name.
We will release you if you leave a fingerprint on this sheet."
The older woman did not think much, so she pressed a fingerprint and went
home. After she returned home, through studying the Fa and discussing with
fellow practitioners, she quickly realized the pressing of that fingerprint was
also cooperating with the evil, which would be a blemish in her cultivation
path. She decided to wash off this blemish with action.
On November 26, 2001, she once again traveled to Beijing by train to validate
Dafa on Tiananmen Square. She unfurled a banner that read "Falun Dafa Is
Good," and shouted "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa is the
righteous cultivation way," and "My Master is innocent." Her
voice shocked the police momentarily, and then they rushed in. They put her into
a police vehicle without any explanation and took her to Qianmen Police Station.
A policeman in his 20s thought she was walking too slowly. He came up and gave
her a kick and hard push, cursing, "You are so old, yet you do not stay at
home to enjoy life but come here to look for death!"
"If I die and you know that Falun Dafa is good, then it would be worth
it," the older woman kindly replied.
"Ha, you are good at talking! How old are you?" said the policeman.
She replied, "78 years old."
The policeman then said, "78? Are you kidding? Do you think we will not
beat you if you tell us a high age? Be honest with me, have you even reached
your 60s?"
She said, "Dafa practitioners always speak the truth, so we do not lie
to others. We are even not afraid of death. Do you think I'm going to be afraid
of the beating?!"
The policeman said, "If you are close to 80, how come you do not have a
single grey hair?"
She replied, "I have to thank my Master. I had all kinds of diseases
before practicing Dafa. I did not know if I would survive to the next day, or
even if I could survive for that day. The amount of medicine I took was as much
as the food I ate. After I practiced Dafa, my health completely recovered. My
apartment is on the 6th floor. In the past, people had to carry me up and down
the stairs. Now I can handle it without any difficulty. I not only can take care
of myself, but also can prepare meals for the children." Her voice was calm
and peaceful.
The young police officer watched the older woman, his vicious look from
moments ago was gone and he became quiet. In the evening, the older woman was
taken to Beijing Huairou Detention Center. The older woman stayed firm with
righteous thoughts and did not cooperate with any of the evils' requests, orders
or commands. She did not reveal her name and address, and refused to eat and
drink to protest the unlawful detention and persecution. She only said Falun
Dafa is good. The jailors didn't know what to do so they released her two days
later.
Around 5 o'clock on September 6, 2002, Daqing police suddenly entered her
house and hatefully asked, " Do you still practice Falun Gong?" She
replied, "Dafa is so wonderful, how can I not practice?! I did not even
take a break on New Year's Eve."
The police then took her to Daqing Ranghulu Police Precinct. The older woman
firmly held her righteous thoughts and righteous belief, and no matter what they
asked, she only replied, "I only know Dafa is good. I have reached my 80s,
other people used to take care of me, now it is me who takes care of other
people. I do not know how to lie. Moreover, my Master also does not allow us to
lie. My personal feeling is: Falun Dafa is good!"
The older woman stopped eating and drinking to protest her unlawful
kidnapping and detention. She was later released. The former local police
officer Chen Yaosong had repeatedly harassed the older woman and threatened her,
"Do not think that we will not arrest you because of your age!"
To avoid further harassment and persecution, the older woman had to return to
her hometown in May of 2003.
