(Clearwisdom.net) Xuanxuan is 5 years old. Her parents and maternal grandparents are all Falun Dafa practitioners who obtained the Fa before 1999. Right after she was born, she started listening to the recordings of Teacher's lecture series.

Xuanxuan enjoys listening to the Fa. She asks to listen to Falun Dafa music as she falls asleep. She was able to recite Lunyu and many poems in Hongyin by the age of three. She also started to learn Chinese characters at such a young age.

Xuanxuan is very intelligent. After she turned three, she started to read the entire book of Zhuan Falun. The first time she read the book, her mother read together with her. If there were characters she did not recognize, she would remember them after her mother explained the words a few times. After she read the entire book once, she was able to read together with the grown-ups. When adults were taking turns reading one paragraph at a time, she would participate and read very attentively too.

Due to the persecution, her entire family became homeless. Her father was sent to a forced labor camp. In order to arrest the rest of her family members, the police formed a special task force. Prior to the meetings of the National People's Congress and the National People's Political Consultative Conference in 2001, the police arrived in the city where they were staying and conducted a two-month search.

One day the officers showed up at one of their friend's home. At the time, Xuanxuan's grandparents were not there and her mother was in the back room. The police saw Xuanxuan in the living room and asked, "How old are you? What's your name?" Xuanxuan did not reply. Her youngest aunt told her to go to another room and she did. She followed her mother's signal to pull her backpack inward a little to avoid being searched. Her mother then signaled her to sit down and send forth righteous thoughts together, and she did until the police were gone. Twenty minutes later, the officers came back and took the head of the household to the police station for questioning. By then, with Teacher's protection and the help of friends, Xuanxuan and her mother had already moved to a safe place and also were joined by her grandparents. Later when asked why she did not answer the police officer's question, Xuanxuan said, "They are evil. I won't talk to them."

Someone informed the authorities when Xuanxuan's grandmother was clarifying the truth to the public so the police discovered where they were staying. Soon the house was swarming with police. Xuanxuan was not yet five years old. She asked the officers, "My grandmother is a good person. She did not do anything wrong. Why are you arresting her?" One officer pretended to be kind and said, "We are not arresting her. We are letting you all go back home. Come with us, I will buy you some candy." Xuanxuan said, "I won't take candy from you." The three adults were taken away and Xuanxuan was left to live with the relatives.

After her parents and her grandmother were taken into custody, the police started to ransack the house. Xuanxuan was not intimidated. She used her wisdom to save an electronic version of the Falun Dafa books.

When living with her relatives, she did not cry or complain. She only cried when she was asked whether she missed her mother. She said that she had three things on her mind: To rescue her mother and grandparents, to rescue her father, and that she also missed Teacher.

Xuanxuan and her family went through many tribulations. She slowly became more mature and also knew how to offer salvation to people. When playing with other children, she taught them to write "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and told them to remember that, "Falun Dafa is good."
