Resisting the Evil Persecution with Righteous Thoughts, I Walked Out of the Detention Center

By Falun Dafa Practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of June 28, 2002, I was distributing flyers for clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa, and a woman reported me to the police substation, which sent a car with three people to come after me. I was handcuffed, and they constantly lashed my head, shoulders, and back with a leather strap, and confiscated all my personal belongings.

At the police substation, they handcuffed me behind the back to a chair. Police Li shouted while he beat me, "Falun Gong felon, I will torture you sufficiently". He kicked me badly on my lower back and abdomen (diagnosed upon later physical examination as compressed lumbar vertebra fracture). I didn't yield at all and told them, "Don't persecute Falun Gong, don't persecute kind people, otherwise the principles of heaven will punish you!"

In order to get a reward, the police substation reported me to their local 610 Office [The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.] On the afternoon of that day, the 610 Office of the county and National Security Department sent people to interrogate me and asked me to admit that I had written banners and distributed flyers. I completely denied their unreasonable charges and pointed out that they were attempting to frame good people just to get a reward. The officials in the 610 Office and police in the police substation were so humiliated from my remarks that they slapped my face until 8 o'clock at night in their anger. Then they sent me to the criminal detention center for interrogation. I refused to sign or fingerprint the detention ticket, or even to enter the cell of the detention center.

Facing the evil threat, I had no fear. Teacher's voice constantly echoed in my brain,

In front of many malicious police I shouted loudly, "You persecute kind people for no reason. I didn't do anything wrong; what do you think you will gain by detaining innocent people?! Confusing good and evil will get retribution; you should know the heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good and evil meets with evil!"

During the period that I was detained, I deeply felt that no matter how rampantly the evil was persecuting, Dafa disciples could never yield or compromise, nor could we bear passively, or follow any command or order of the evil. As long as we faced evil with righteous thoughts, evil was definitely afraid. They asked me to recite the detention rules and read papers slandering Dafa. I said I could not read, and would not read or recite. Every time they interrogated me, I refused to go. They had prisoners forcibly drag me to the interrogation room. When they interrogated me, I said I hadn't done anything against the law. They accused me of writing Falun Gong banners and distributing Falun Gong flyers. I said the flyers were asking people to be good and not to do bad things and nothing was wrong with that. When they asked me to sign and fingerprint on the record, I still refused. At last they got very flustered and exasperated and threatened that if I continued to resist like this, they would detain me indefinitely until I died. I answered,

"To live with no pursuits, to die with no regrets; All excessive thoughts extinguished, cultivating Buddhahood is not difficult," ("Non-existence" from Hong Yin, unofficial translation)

From the first day I was detained in the detention center, I began fasting. During the 34 days' fasting protest period, I had a bitter taste in my mouth and my whole body felt very weak. It seemed that my stomach was bleeding, as I had blood in my stool. A kind-hearted guard was moved by my righteous mind and sometimes he would open the door to ask me to eat, and remind me gently, "Keep your life, there will come a day when you can speak!" Touched, I said, "Thanks for your concern! It's not that we don't care about our bodies; I'm on hunger strike because I strongly protest Jiang's regime which persecutes us!"

After I fasted for about half a month, the evil police began to panic. They were afraid if I died in the detention center they would have to take responsibility. On the morning of July 12^th, the guards on duty--one is called Wang, another Luo--and another female director also called Luo opened the door and had several prisoners press me to the floor and force-feed me. I closed my teeth and stopped breathing, and started to vomit. They tried to pry my teeth open. My two upper front teeth were loosening, but they still could not feed me. With righteous thoughts, I was clearing the evil factors controlling them in other dimensions. After that, they never tried to force-feed me again.

During the detention period, the officials in the 610 Office had interrogated me many times for my real name, address, and other people and things related to Falun Gong. I refused to reveal any of these. I didn't react to their requests at all, but I took every opportunity to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to them. Consequently they spent much energy but ended up with nothing. In shame, they again flew into a violent rage. While slapping my face, they cursed Teacher and Dafa. I continued to clear the evil factors in other dimensions with righteous thoughts.

One day when I talked to another prisoner in my cell, I was deceived by his false show of concern for me, and I told him my home phone number. He reported this to the guards, and the county 610 Office was able to discover my identity and address and immediately transferred me to my local 610 Office.

On the way to my hometown, there was a traffic jam and many passengers got off the bus to walk. I didn't miss any opportunity to clarify the truth and I told the truth to every passenger I met. Yang, the policeman escorting me, was very afraid of my clarifying the truth to other people and pulled my cuffed hands tight to drag me away from the crowd. This caused deep cuts on my wrists.

My local 610 Office detained me in the city's Second Detention Center. At first the director of my local 610 Office was nice to me, saying that as long as I cooperated with them, they would not beat me. They asked me to oppose Falun Gong in order to get out early. I asked them very calmly, "Since you are helping me, why you don't allow me to tell the truth? You force me to lie, and force me to curse my Teacher and Dafa, but I have benefited from Dafa, and my Teacher has given so much to me. Not only did he give me a healthy body, but also purified my heart and taught me to cultivate my mind, know the importance of virtue, to become a good person, and an even a better person: what's wrong with that? Jiang persecutes so many good people out of his own selfishness; he is the one who treads on the Constitution and the law; he is the one who deprives citizens' right to freedom of belief; he is the person who concocts lies to poison the people of China and around the world; he is the person who seriously violates human rights! You should recognize good from evil; you need to know the heavenly principle that good is paid with good and evil with evil. Persecuting kind people is not allowed by the heavenly principles!" They had no answer to my questions and could not complete their interrogation record. They quickly ended the interrogation.

One day I was loudly clarifying truth in the jail, so Chen X, the guard on duty, stripped off my clothes and used a thick copper cable to lash violently at my back and legs. My whole body was bloody, with tiny copper wire pieces embedded in my flesh. He lashed me very hard until the other guard could no longer bear it and stopped him.

During the illegal detention period, I clarified the truth to the 6 prisoners sentenced to jail in the same cell with me. I disclosed the evil's persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. My magnificent feat of not fearing the evil's persecution and not fearing death deeply touched them. They admired me very much. They believed in what I said, giving them a good foundation for their future.

Thirty four days on hunger strike and the persecution I suffered in the detention center greatly damaged my body. The Second Detention Center was afraid to take responsibility. They constantly reported that they didn't have sufficient evidence against me, and requested to release me as soon as possible. The release process was delayed because the director of the 610 Office wanted to swindle money from me, but my wife was uncompromising in the face of their threats. In the name of justice, she kept appealing and asking for my release. The detention center also found fault with the director's conduct and he was forced to release me. Just like that, with righteous and steadfast belief in Dafa, I firmly resisted the evil's persecution and completely denied the old forces' arrangements. I walked out of the detention center openly and aboveboard, and returned to the wave of Fa-rectification.
