Families Suffer Because of the Policy that Implicates Relatives of Falun Dafa Practitioners By a Practitioner from Sichuan Province (Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from Sichuan Province. I began cultivation
practice in June of 1998. Because I persisted in practicing Falun Dafa and spoke
the truth about the persecution, the local police went to my home to look for
me. I continually refused to cooperate with them so they resorted to threatening
and manipulating my family members to try to get them to turn against me. They
pressured my son, telling him that they would withhold his wages and remove him
from his job as a civil servant. They threatened to punish my entire family and
all my colleagues by withholding their wages. Because of this, my family was
against my practicing Falun Dafa. I tried to clarify the truth to them and
although they were aware of my improved health condition since I started
practicing, they would not listen to me no matter what I said. At that time, I
realized they had been so deeply poisoned by the insidious propaganda against
Falun Gong. Because of the policy that implicated them and threatened their
interests, they took it out on me by resorting to all forms of violence --
banging me against a wall, attempting to throw me down a flight of stairs,
slapping me on the face, strangling me with their hands, and pinching me leaving
wounds all over my body. The neighbor saw that I was beaten up and said:
"Is Falun Gong really that good? Your two sons and your husband hit you so
heartlessly, yet you didn't fight back or scorn them." No matter what I
remained steadfast in my belief. The police brought all my relatives and friends
to me in an attempt to persuade me by tempting me with money and material
things. They were unable to move me as I am and was determined to practice Falun
Dafa. After two days, somebody told me secretly: "The county officials are
going to take you away again." At the time I thought that since my family
also tortured me as they did, I should not cooperate with their interference
against me. So that very night I ran away from home. After walking for 70-80
kilometers I reached a mountain near a city. I had no place to stay so I slept
on the side of the road during the night. Eventually, I found a cave in the
mountain to live in and ate wild vegetables. Later I lived in a temple. I
endured many hardships while living in the temple, getting up at 5 a.m. every
morning, cooking food, and cleaning the temple. I also went to the mountain to
cut firewood. I knew that this was an old force's arrangement, and I would
surely overcome it. Teacher constantly gave me hints and protected me during
this difficult and painful trial. When my family realized that I had run away,
they looked for me everywhere. They looked for me in my relatives' and friends'
homes. The local town and county "610 Offices" were alerted. They were
extremely scared. They mobilized both manpower and material resources to look
for me. But they did not find me. My village felt like it had a 24-hour fair
going on in the street. In the day, people went to my house. During the night
the light illuminated the whole village, and it felt like it was daytime. Some
people went to Beijing, Shanghai, Zhongqing, Leshan, and Nanjing to look for me.
It was said that they spent some 100,000 RMB to look for me. Someone told me
later that there were some people who looked for me in the mountain. What's more
ridiculous was that they found someone to read my fortune, but they still
couldn't find me. It was only after more than ten days that they found me. They
took me back to town and wouldn't allow me to go home. They put me in a
Retirement Home. Inside my fellow practitioners were detained earlier. After
holding me for a week, they let me go home. The police department ransacked my home twice without any warrant. They put
me under surveillance. The local town government withheld 4,000 RMB from my
son's wages. Whenever my relatives and friends saw me, they worried about being
implicated because they were connected to me, because I was a Falun Dafa
practitioner. Those following Jiang's orders to destroy practitioners and poison
people all over the world brought all this suffering on us. Indeed Jiang has
committed unforgivable evils and has caused unimaginable suffering. Posting date: 7/5/2003 |
