On April 22, 1999, we learned that a so-called "academician," He Zuoxiu, had published an article that distorted the facts and slandered Falun Gong in the magazine Extensive Reading for Young People in Science and Technology. We then went to Tianjin Education College, the publication's sponsor. The practitioners who learned this news earlier had already been there for several days. On April 22, the number of Dafa practitioners had reached seven to eight thousand. That same day, it was said that the college had already admitted that they were mistaken and were discussing methods of solving the problems with representatives of the practitioners.

On April 23, Dafa practitioners still sat peacefully around the buildings and anticipated the situation would be solved peacefully. At that time, there were so many Dafa practitioners. In order not to make trouble for the college, they did not use the restrooms inside. Instead, they used a very small public restroom very far away, forming a long line. When it was close to noon and I passed the gate, and saw a practitioner talking with several other practitioners, so I went there to listen. This male speaker was in his fifties. When he talked, he shed excited and happy tears. He said he saw that Teacher's law body looked like a mountain in height and sat at this position at the college gate and auspiciously and mercifully protected these practitioners who came here to clarify the truth. I listened while I shared his happiness.

The day had gone, but we did not obtain the decision of how the college would redress this slander. When the sun set that afternoon and before the police did their evil deeds, a sacred Falun rotated, starting from the front door and revolving around the buildings across half a circle. The applause resounded wherever the Falun arrived. What an exciting and sacred time! In order not to affect the college's order, some Dafa practitioner suggested that when we saw the Falun again we should just perform Heshi instead of applauding.

When it gradually became dark, several hundred riot police appeared. They shouted propaganda through a loudspeaker and asked everybody to evacuate immediately. At that time, Dafa practitioners began to recite "On Buddha Law" (preface of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong). Seven to eight thousand Dafa practitioners all recited it simultaneously. The might of Dafa repressed the entire universe. The evil people were controlled by the righteous thoughts and were startled. After several minutes, a massive number of police officers had gathered. They began to clear the area with violence, but Dafa practitioners all did the sitting meditation in the lotus position and did not move. With four policemen forming a group, they grabbed practitioners' hands or legs and dragged them outside. A heavyset female practitioner of over 50 years of age was dragged by four people while her buttocks were scratched by the ground. Her pants almost fell down as she passed in front of me.

In the early morning of April 25, 1999, I arrived in Beijing. I appealed peacefully for the unfair treatment to Falun Gong and practitioners, because not only did the event in Tianjin not result in a reasonable solution, the police actually brutally beat the practitioners and arrested more than 40 of them.

In the beginning, I was near the Appeal Office which was north of Fuyou Street. Later, a local practitioner found me and asked whether I dare enter Zhongnanhai (Chinese central government compound) to testify for Falun Gong as a witness of the event in Tianjin. I said, "Do you need to ask?" This is what every genuine practitioner should do. I came to the street opposite Zhongnanhai's main entrance (the west gate) following the practitioner. I had a short exchange with a Dafa practitioner lawyer who was going to enter Zhongnanhai. Although we did not know each other, our hearts actually linked together as we were in the Fa.

I then saw Premier Zhu come out of the front door of Zhongnanhai. The premier stopped seven to eight plainclothes security people following him with his hands and directly moved towards us. The scene was very auspicious and rational. Everybody's innermost feelings were peaceful and extremely tranquil. The premier stopped and conversed with Falun Gong practitioners around 20 meters from me to the south. I could hear their voices but I was not able to hear clearly what they were saying. When practitioners applauded, we also applauded.

April 25^th demonstrated Dafa practitioners' peaceful and rational style, which also marked the beginning of our validating the Fa as Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples. As a particle of Dafa, we must each testify for Dafa forever. Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance are good! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!

One day during the severe winter of 1998, I carried a tape recorder to the practice spot and practiced with other people in a group as usual, which was at a square in front of a bank. It was very cold, but everyone still kept coming every day, taking hardship as joy, feeling harmonious and happy. We practiced the sitting meditation and then we began to practice the four sets of movements the same as every day. I then had a thought that was very pure and righteous. Although I closed both of my eyes, I really felt Teacher's law body approaching me, feeling just like the sun getting nearer and nearer. My whole body felt warm. It is very difficult to describe that kind of feeling with human language. I could only say I bathed in the Buddha's light as it shined everywhere and was in the Buddha's infinite grace. I truly felt Teacher's law body was less than one meter in front of me. I was completely immersed in a happiness that I never truly felt before. A current of heat flowed into the top of my head, and passed through my whole body. As it poured into my body, my tears could not stop flowing. Although the process of the warm current passing through my whole body lasted less than one minute, the feeling of being bathed in the Buddha's infinite grace and my resulting happy tears lasted half an hour until I finished the second exercise. At that time, I felt that I was the happiest being in the universe.
