Written by a Dafa Disciple in Changchun

(Clearwisdom.net) Editors' note: The Fa-rectification experience of this practitioner has been published to validate Dafa and encourage all other practitioners. It is also a legend left for our descendents. We hope more and more practitioners in Mainland China will record their own Fa-rectification experiences, or those of fellow practitioners, and have them published on Minghui and Clearwisdom.

Magnificent Feats of Dafa Disciples

March 2002, Changchun shakes Heaven and Earth

In the evening on March 5, 2002, I went to a grocery store to make phone calls, I was surprised and happy to see a Fang Guang Ming (FGMTV.net) broadcast about "Falun Dafa Spreading Around the World" on the television inside the store. Then the store owner said to himself: "There might be someone watching a VCD nearby." He switched to other channels, all of which were showing programs about Dafa. There were scenes about the practice being spread all the over the world, and the awards and proclamations given in recognition of Master and Dafa. In order to dispel the store owner's fear, I said to him: "Let's just watch this program, it is quite good." We watched for another twenty minutes until the program went off the air. At that moment, I was clear that most of the TV viewers in Changchun had seen Falun Dafa truth-clarifying programs, programs that were obviously banned in China. How great Dafa disciples are! All these people who have "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in their hearts have tried every means possible to save sentient beings from the poisonous lies of the state controlled television, braving the horrible threat of the evil state machine, and doing so without regard for the threat to their own personal safety.

On March 6, 2002, Nanguan District Court conducted an illegal trial of Dafa disciples. It was another page of history filled with the glorious tales of Dafa disciples' great compassion and tolerance. Hearing news of the trial, Dafa disciples stepped out from all directions. They went to clarify the truth to people worldwide and also send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions. Before the court was called to order, there were many plainclothes and uniformed policemen patrolling the area. Many Dafa disciples stood in silence near the court to send forth righteous thoughts. There were some practitioners holding their palms erect in the alley behind. Later, a curfew was enforced on the roads on the north and south sides of the blocks between 3rd and 4th Streets. Later, it was extended to the west and east sides. The police began to enlarge their circle. Some Dafa disciples were kidnapped right there on the street. Seeing what had happened, many passersby did not dare to say anything, even though they felt very angry. After that, the evil started to make frenzied, mass arrests across the whole city. Many fellow practitioners were arrested and we lost contact.

I thought no matter how frenzied the evil may seem to be, I should still just do what a Dafa disciple was supposed to do. I tried to contact fellow practitioners as soon as possible. At about 9:00 pm, I saw two police cars at an intersection. They examined all the passersby. I wanted to first go page someone in the grocery store nearby. There were several people in the dark watching a house from the side of the street, pretending to be just having a discussion. I asked what was going on and was told that a location for printing Dafa truth-clarifying materials had been discovered and shut down. I said, "You don't arrest the bad people! Why do you arrest people who practice Falun Gong?" I used the opportunity to complain about them in the grocery store. After making a phone call, I felt that fellow practitioner Liu Haibo could still help contact some other practitioners. It had been a long time since I last saw him, so I decided to go to his place.

Severe Torture by the Police

At Liu Haibo's home, he told me there were people who just came to "check up on temporary residences." He had refused to open the door for them. He told me he had experienced the miracle and sacredness of validating Dafa during the past several days. He said he wasn't concerned if it meant sacrificing his own life in facing the evil persecution. I said to him: "The best way for us, of course, is to not endanger our lives. You should write your Fa-rectification experience about what has happened to encourage and enlighten fellow practitioners."

We had been talking about ten minutes when there was a sudden knock at the door and it opened, although we didn't hear any sound and the door was locked. About seven or eight people rushed in. One of them pointed a pistol and yelled, "Freeze. What are your names?" Facing all these unidentified evil gangsters, neither of us answered. They began to beat us. One evil policeman found over four hundred Yuan in my overcoat. He quickly took it, hiding it in his own pocket. At that time, Liu Haibo's wife was taking care of her 6-year old child who sleeping in another room. The child was scared and cried out loud. They beat and dragged us to the living room, tied our hands, legs and mouths with ropes like they were harnessing a horse. Since we had done nothing wrong, we refused to let them tie us up. About three to four men tried to tie us and beat us but after about ten minutes had still not met with success. Then, I heard the one who was tying Liu Haibo up curse and say, "I broke my leg." After the assault, there was a puddle of blood stains on the floor from my being beaten on the head.

The child's cries did not stop the evil. Liu Haibo called out, "Don't scare the child. Don't scare the child." They dragged us both out after they tied us up. Since I was beaten and bruised, I could hardly open my eyes so I simply kept my eyes closed. I had taken off my shoes and coat when I had come into the room. They did not let me put my coat on as we left and they dragged me down the stairs from the fifth to the ground floor, badly bruising my legs.

They dragged me to Kuancheng District Public Security Bureau. They separated us into two rooms and used electric batons to shock and beat us without saying anything. Several of them beat us at the same time. In order to keep me from struggling around, they put a stool over my body, and one of them sat on it. Because of the unbearable physical pain, my instinct was to struggle. "What is your name?" they asked. I did not answer. They had stripped off my pants. A two-foot long electric baton was used to shock my private areas. They also used the batons to beat my shins, ankles and toes. The strong electric current was horrifying and painful to bear. It seemed to overpower me. Then I said in agony, "I will tell you." In my heart, however, I thought I should never tell them. I felt that after I told them, they would step by step force me until I could no longer stand it. They did not stop at that moment, and I endured all the suffering with this thought. After a little while, they got tired of shocking me and said, "You just tell us your name." I said, "When you are treating me, a good man, so viciously, I do not want to tell you anything even if I'm able." They shocked me again. It was so painful that I struggled and the policeman who sat on me had to be switched several times. When they were torturing me, someone mopped something up nearby a few times. Obviously, I was bleeding. I knew my life was in danger if they continued the torture. There is no one who does not know that life is really precious, but what can be compared with truth and justice? The spirit of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" is priceless.

Gradually, I had no strength left to struggle. Facing the unbearable suffering, I recalled Master mentioning in lecture six of Zhuan Falun:

So I started to say in my mind: "Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt." When I thought of this, even though it was still painful from being electrically shocked and beaten, I continue to withstand the pain. I heard someone coming from the other room saying: "We're done." Someone else said: "I know best how to treat the females." Obviously, there were still others beside us who had been arrested and tortured. I did not know how long it was until someone from the other room came in and said: "Liu Haibo has no heartbeat." At that moment, I was clear in my mind that if I could bear Master's teaching in mind, believing firmly in the Fa, the Fa would overcome all evils. However, I physically had no strength to struggle. They also tried to feel my pulse and checked my nose to see whether I was still breathing. A while later, they also used a small rod to strike my arches. I heard a voice over the phone saying: "Is this the municipal hospital? Please dispatch an ambulance to Kuancheng Police Sub-Bureau. A man named Liu Haibo has no heartbeat" Later, the police said a Falun Gong practitioner had died on that night.

I do not know whether Liu Haibo's heart resumed beating or not. I have not heard any news about him for about a year now. We only know that the Kuancheng Police Sub-Bureau had blocked any news of his death. (Note: Liu Haibo, male, over 30 years of age, was a doctor of Changchun Municipal Luyuan District Hospital. The unit directly responsible for his murder is: Kuangcheng Public Security Sub-Bureau
