Stories from Mainland China: Public Security Officers Assigned to Monitor a Practitioner Learn the Truth
(Clearwisdom.net) Since Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999,
the "610 Office" (1) increased its surveillance of Professor Wang, who
is a Falun Gong practitioner. The methods they used to monitor him included
internal control, monitoring his residence, confining him in a detention center,
and sending to him a labor camp. They assigned the college security department
to monitor him, but the security department did not want to cooperate. Finally,
the "610 Office" forced the college security department to accept the
assignment. The first group assigned to monitor Professor Wang consisted of six
people; they were divided into two shifts with three people per shift. There
were organized as if they were facing a very dangerous enemy. In the beginning, these young security officers always carried their
police clubs, and they were too nervous to look directly at Professor Wang.
Being young men and curious, however, they peeked at him from behind. When
Professor Wang discovered them, he tried to approach them and clarify the truth
about Falun Dafa and the persecution to them. He knew that these young men had
been given much slanderous information and fabricated stories from the "610
Office." Two days later, these young security officers found that Professor
Wang was a friendly, caring person and a respectable gentleman; this did not
match up with the picture of a criminal that the "610 Office"
personnel had made him out to be. According to the rules of the upper
management, the security personnel were not allowed to speak to Professor Wang,
but gradually they began to build friendships with him and they looked for
opportunities to speak with him. Professor Wang told them about the greatness of Falun Gong; he mentioned that
the Tianjin incident was a trap to arrest practitioners, and he talked about the
April 25, 1999 incident at Zhongnanhai, in which the peaceful appeal of 10,000
practitioners was falsely portrayed by the media as an angry attempt to
overthrow the government. Professor Wang also exposed other slander campaigns by
the media, and he discussed the illegal persecution since July 20, 1999 and the
support from overseas to help stop the persecution. The young men all enjoyed
hearing the facts from Professor Wang and if they had any questions, they would
ask him and he would patiently explain anything to them. Some of the security
officers wept after they heard the truth of the persecution and they apologized
to Professor Wang for believing in the slander campaigns. They regretted that
they had said some bad words and did some bad things to him and they asked the
professor to forgive them. Professor Wang explained that it was not their fault,
but the fault of the evil slander and fabrication campaigns that had poisoned
them. The professor said the important thing was that now they understood the
truth. They told Professor Wang that as long as the upper management did not
come to do an inspection, he could do whatever he wanted. They told him that if
he did the exercises, they would like to learn from him. After one term passed,
the upper management requested a change of security personnel, but none of them
wanted to leave. When the second security group arrived, it was obvious that they had been
counseled by the previous security group, as they were very kind to Professor
Wang from the beginning. Professor Wang also clarified the truth to the second
batch of security guards. Later on, after those security people learned that
Professor Wang had been sent to a labor camp by the upper management, they were
all visibly saddened by the news. When the Sandstorm Arrived When I clarified the truth to my co-worker, whom I shall refer to as
"Mr. A," I told him that if he could frequently say "Falun Dafa
is great," then he could benefit from it; but Co-worker A had some doubt
about it. One day after work, my co-workers, "Mr. A" and "Mr.
B," rode their bicycles back home. On their way they encountered a
sandstorm, and the air was thick with flying sand. They immediately looked for
shelter. At that moment Co-worker A suddenly remembered our previous
conversation and mentioned it to Co-worker B and asked Mr. B if he dared to say,
"Falun Dafa is great." Mr. B said, "Why not?" and then he
started to say, "Falun Dafa is great," very loudly. After hearing Mr.
B's loud voice repeatedly, Mr. A was a little afraid that they would be heard
and get into trouble and he asked Mr. B to be quieter, but Mr. B said, "If
you want to say it, you need to say it loudly." During their conversation,
the wind stopped blowing and it started to rain in their region, but the
sandstorm was still happening everywhere around them in the distance. They were
shocked at what had just happened to them and they jumped up and down excitedly.
The next day they told me about the incident and Mr. B said he would say it
again and again; he would say it one hundred times! He regretted that he hadn't
read the Falun Dafa book (Zhuan Falun), because he could not find the
book now. Mr. B is now very healthy physically. It doesn't matter how much work
he accomplishes, he doesn't feel tired at all. (1) The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute
Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party
and all other political and judiciary systems. |
