(Clearwisdom.net May 9) In a district detention center in Chengdu City, more
than a dozen Falun Gong practitioners went on a hunger strike to protest the
illegal detention and mistreatment. A policeman told them, "Last time we
arrested an old woman for posting flyers. She refused to tell us her name and
address, and she even read a book in jail, so we confiscated it. Then she
refused to eat. When we asked her why she was refusing to eat, she replied, 'I
will start eating under certain circumstances. It will surely make things easier
if you return the book to me.' My boss had no alternative but to eventually give
the book back to her. Later something strange happened. One moment, the old
woman, with that book in hand, was among us. The next thing you know, she was
gone! We still have no clue as to who she was or where she was from. My boss
forbade us from telling others about it, especially our superiors."
Upon hearing the story, the practitioners in the jail felt encouraged and
strengthened their righteous thoughts even further. The hunger strike reached a
critical point when the police tried to force-feed them. The practitioners
realized they should help each another and turn back the evil together. Some of
them called out, "Falun Dafa is good," while others kept sending forth
the righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions and
asked for Teacher to strengthen them. As a result, the police could not take any
of the practitioners out to be force-fed. In the end, the authorities had to
release the practitioners one after another.
