Exposing the Persecution of Overseas Falun Gong Practitioners by the National Security Bureau Staff in Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province Xin Qin (USA)
(Clearwisdom.net) At the experience sharing conference held in New York
City in 2000 I exposed the persecution of myself by the Nanjing National
Security Bureau staff. However, I did not have a deep understanding of the
persecution. Back then my heart was not calm when faced with persecution. Now I
have come to realize it is very urgent to expose the persecution to more people.
Ever since I learned of the detention of Charles Lee (a U.S. citizen detained in China on the charge of tapping into Chinese TV) in
Nanjing Prison, I have been thinking about the details of how I was persecuted
by staff members, including a man surnamed Gu. I realized that no matter who
commits crimes under what excuses, he or she has to be responsible for his or
her own actions.
In May 2000 my husband and I went back to China to visit my family. Because
of the persecution of Falun Gong, my husband was very worried about me. He is an
American and he loves Chinese culture. At the same time, he was very aware of
the viciousness of dictator Jiang. Before my departure, he begged me not to
mention Falun Gong while we were in China, or tell anyone that I am a Falun Gong
practitioner. Otherwise, not only might I be arrested, but my family might also
get into trouble. I promised I would listen to him. Out of his concern for my
safety, he insisted on putting the book Zhuan Falun in his backpack. I
knew that many overseas Falun Gong practitioners got into trouble while going
through customs. Therefore, when it was my turn to pass through customs, I was
extremely nervous. All other passengers were required to go through a pass on
the right, but somehow a man directed my husband and I to go around and thus we
safely passed through customs. I was eager to see my family so I promised my
husband that I would not mention Falun Gong. He was relieved and agreed to have
me go back to Nanjing first, and he would meet with me in Nanjing after he was
done with his business.
While in Janjing visiting friends and relatives, I naturally talked about
Falun Gong during various conversations. Seeing that some of them were poisoned
by the lies, I told them how my grandparents and I benefited from practicing
Falun Gong. I also exposed the lies and told them how Falun Gong was widespread
around the world. I did not forget my promise to my husband, but my conscience
did not allow me to keep silent. Seeing that I was very healthy, gentle, and
kinder to others, my family members were all amazed by the power of Falun Gong.
One night around 8:00 p.m., I took a taxi to go from my grandparents' home to
my mom's home. When the taxi was making a right turn at an intersection, a dark
colored sedan and two motorcycles stopped us. A man with a gloomy face ordered
me to get out using a low voice. As soon as I got out, a man immediately snapped
away my luggage, and dragged me into their sedan together with another man. With
the two motorcycles clearing the way ahead, three or four men including the
driver escorted me to their place.
One of them was a man surnamed Gu. A Nanjing native in his late 30's, he has
a round face and is not tall. I remember he said he has a bachelor's degree. He
was very good at chicanery and was the leader of those engaging in persecuting
overseas Falun Gong practitioners going back to China to visit. He was very
hypocritical. Even when he was threatening you, he still had a smile on his
face. He once said to me, "After you go back to the U.S., be aware of the
possible consequences if you dare to tell anyone that we have talked to you. You
should know your family is still in China and your husband has business in
China. Plus if you want to still come back to visit..." He also said, "If we did
not want you to enter customs, we would have arrested you right before entering
customs. We have been very nice to you."
There was another young man with a very tall and strong build. He seemed to
work for Gu, always carrying out Gu's orders.
Both men's supervisor was a woman in her late 30s. Gu often went to ask for
orders from that woman. She seemed to be a hysterical and bossy woman. She could
attack Falun Gong in a high pitched voice nonstop for a long time. She slandered
Dafa in front of my parents, not giving me any chance to speak. She and Gu went
to my home. They pretended to be caring about my family when in fact they were
threatening them. My dad had a stroke and was bedridden. He was too scared to
say a single word.
When they interrogated me, they often changed places. I remember one time it
was in a restaurant on the east side of Nanjing, another time they parked their
car in the Nanjing Liaison Office of Wuxi (a neighboring city of Nanjing). There
were several men present at the interrogation, including drivers, note takers
and so-called leaders.
Gu kept saying he was my friend. I thought of clarifying the truth to him
often. Gu has the chance to read Minghui.net. I am waiting for him to quit doing
evil one day. After I returned to the U.S., I called him several times advising
him not to do evil anymore. Not long ago, I called him again. He told me he is
still doing the same thing and he slandered Charles Lee. During the
conversation, I suspected that he also participated in the persecution of
Charles.
I remember very clearly that Gu said during my detention, "We have special
people dealing with overseas Falun Gong practitioners in various branch offices
of the National Security Bureau. Falun Gong practitioners in China are taken
care of by local police who are usually rude and beat people." Gu knew the truth
very well but he just kept on doing evil.
I hope that my experience can help you see through the nature of the
persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the National Security Bureau, as well
as their hypocrisy. I was wrong in the past thinking that the persecution of me
was not as severe as the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Even
though the persecution takes on different forms, they are all persecution of
Falun Gong practitioners.
I would like to declare null and invalid all the things I said under
pressure, abduction, threats, and intimidation in 2000. Out of fear, I have said
something that a Dafa cultivator should never have said. I know clearly that my
actions let Teacher, Dafa, and fellow practitioners down. I feel bad that I did
not realize this point until today. I write this article with righteous
thoughts, and I hope it can help expose the evil. I will walk my path
righteously.
Seen from this dimension, no matter what I said, as long as I was answering
questions asked by the National Security Bureau, I was in fact cooperating with
the evil. Regardless whether or not my act had brought loss to Dafa or fellow
practitioners, it was a stain on my path of cultivation. What I did was
equivalent to leaving loopholes for the evil, and it was an excuse for Gu and
other people to take credit using the words I said out of fear. At the same
time, they also thought their tricks worked on me, and they would further
intensify their persecution of other practitioners.
The whole process of exposing evil from different angles and at different
levels is also a process of seeing more clearly about oneself, removing
attachments, and purging oneself.
