My Experience Clarifying the Truth in a Rural Area of China
(Clearwisdom.net) "Nothing Shameful About Being Jailed For Practicing Falun Gong" Having been held in the jail for a long period of time, I have not visited my mother-in-law for
about 4 years now. My husband (a non-practitioner) and I decided to go back to our hometown to talk
to people about Falun Gong. However, the police chased us for a couple hundred kilometers and waited
for us at the entrance of the village. In rural areas, people feel ashamed if any of their family
members have been jailed. They have "lost face" and cannot walk with their heads held up
high. My mother-in-law was lying in bed very sick when the police came. I spoke to them very calmly
about my experience at the detention center, and won the sympathy of the two policemen. My
mother-in-law said to them, with a lot of difficulty, "Why are you guys going after her? What
did she do?" The two policemen looked at each other and said helplessly, "We are just
following orders from above. Take care of yourself, we are leaving now." Our relatives soon came over to visit. My two sisters-in-law tried to comfort me, "There is
nothing shameful about being jailed for practicing Falun Gong. You did not rob or steal. If they
fire you, so be it. Stay here, we have plenty of food." I was very touched by their words. I
then told them that the so-called self-immolation was staged and that Falun Gong is practiced in
over 50 countries. They said, "We know that the self-immolation is false. You are such a smart
woman. If Falun Gong weren't that good, you would not have gone for it. If you were not good, your
husband would not have let you practice." "Your Master Has Sent You Guys to Save Us" Once I talked to my two brothers-in-law and told them about the principle of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and told them about the principle of good being
rewarded with good and evil meeting with evil. They were both convinced. My husband also helped me
out. In the end, they said, "It is your Master that sent you guys to save us." They went
on to tell me that they used to listen to Master's lectures. As they drove, they would remember what
Master said every now and then. They tried to abide by what Master said when they did business. "If We All Practiced Falun Gong, They Would Never Be Able To Round Us All Up." During the Spring Festival, I took some truth-clarifying CD's back to my hometown. The villagers
were very interested in watching them, and they were not afraid of the policemen. After I played it
several times, some relatives borrowed it from me. A neighbor said after watching it, "I did
not know so many people practiced Falun Gong. Jiang has been lying to all of us. I knew it was a
good thing. Otherwise, why would so many people rather go to jail than give it up? If it were not
good, no one would practice it." Another person said, "If we all practiced it, they would
never be able to round us all up. "We Are Proud Of The Fact That We Have A Falun Gong Practitioner In Our Village. We Are All
Benefiting From It." During the Spring Festival, I used the opportunity to visit people door to door to talk to them
about Falun Gong. My two sisters-in-law helped me as well. It worked really well. When I got home,
my mother-in-law and I seized the opportunity to talk to the younger people about Falun Gong as
well. I saw all those eyes hoping to be saved. A few women about my age took my hands and said,
"We are proud that we have a Falun Gong practitioner in this village. We are all benefiting
from it." 2003-8-15
