A Family of Practitioners By a practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) A few days ago, a fellow practitioner told me a story about a family of
practitioners that truly touched me. I have recorded it here to share with
everyone. A father, mother and their daughter used to go to the practice site before
July 20, 1999 to practice and spread Dafa. After July 20, 1999, the family went
to Beijing several times to appeal. The parents were jailed illegally a few
times. After 2000, the father often rode his three-wheeler with his wife and
their daughter, carrying large amounts of truth-clarifying materials to
distribute over a large area. Oftentimes Dad would ride the three-wheeler, while
Mom and the daughter would distribute the material on each side, finishing the
whole street in a single pass. After distributing the materials, the family
would sit together and study the Fa. Sometimes the parents felt tired after the
day's work. The 12 year-old daughter would remind them, "Dad, Mom, let's
study the Fa." Once the mother was arrested by the police when distributing truth-clarifying
materials. The daughter went to jail to visit her and told her, "Mom, you
need to have righteous thoughts. Do not cooperate with the evil. The way to get
out of jail is to go on a hunger strike in protest." Watching her
daughter's innocent face, the practitioners nearby couldn't hold back their
tears. How can an adult not do well when a child had such righteous thoughts? So the mother began a hunger strike in jail. After hunger-striking for 15
days, the police guarding her thought that she was dying and let up their guard.
She took that opportunity and escaped that night when the two policewomen
guarding her fell asleep. After the escape she was forced to stay away from
home. Not being able to find her after going to her house several times, the
police arrested her husband, accusing him of having given a truth-clarifying
disk to a policeman some time ago. He was illegally sentenced to three years in
a forced-labor camp. In the labor camp, he went on a hunger strike for twenty
days and was taken to the hospital. Currently his condition is unknown. The mother went to a different city to work on Dafa materials, and was later
arrested when the police broke into the Dafa materials distribution center. She
refused to tell the police her name and address, but they found out and sent her
back to jail there. The twelve-year old daughter, young Guan Jing (alias), went to school as
usual and persisted in doing truth-clarifying work after school. There was no
doubt that she was under tremendous pressure, but she never cried. Everyday she
went to her grandparents' house to eat, but she never complained. Seeing Guan
Jing's miserable condition of having no money and facing the possibility of
dropping out of school, some local practitioners donated a few hundred Yuan to
help. They gave the money to Guan Jing and told her their intention. After
thinking for a while Guan kept one hundred Yuan for the tuition, but returned
the rest to the practitioners. She told them, "Why not use the money for
the truth clarifying materials. All I really need is the tuition for
school." The practitioners were all very moved by her actions. Posting date: 4/21/2003 |
