(Clearwisdom.net) In the early morning of July 13, 2005, policemen jumped over the wall, broke into my house and arrested my mom. When a family member and I went to the town government to ask for my mom, we saw that other local practitioners were detained there too.

At around 3:30 a.m. on July 13, before daylight, I was awakened by two people who were carrying cell phones (the cell phones would light up). At first I thought they were from the electric department. I thought they had come to fix the electrical lines and needed our help, so I tried to turn on the light. They said they weren't there about the electricity. They told me that they came from the police department and were seeking my parents. There were two more policemen outside the door and they asked me to open the main door. I knew that they must have jumped over the wall and broke into my house. They looked for the key everywhere with the cell phone's light and I was forced to open the door.

At that time, my dad and my mom also came out. The policemen talked to my dad and mom in the eastern room of the house while I went to the western room to send forth righteous thoughts. After a while, my dad came over and I asked, "Where is Mom?" My dad replied, "The policemen took her away."

Later, my grandma, my dad and I sent forth righteous thoughts together for a while. My grandma and I decided to go to the town government to look for my mom. My dad went to notify other practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts together.

It was about 4 o'clock when my grandma and I arrived at the county government. When we got there, I saw that there was a group of people standing in front of the building. They all were from the local governments and the local police stations. Later, I understood that they had planned this beforehand. All the local village governments had received the order to arrest local practitioners. When I arrived at the town government, I met practitioner, Li Yingjie's husband, Mr. Gao. He said that his wife was also arrested and they were detained in a conference room on the west side of the third floor.

I rushed into the town government's building. They recognized that I was the son of Lian Jinhua and tried to prohibit me from getting in. They finally could not stop me. I went up to the third floor and went to the conference room. I saw my mom and the other practitioners sitting there. I said to the two policemen who were inside the room, "How could you arrest my mom? What's wrong with cultivating Falun Gong? What kind of laws did they violate by practicing 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance'? Why don't you guys show me the law on paper? This illegal persecution has made my family lose tens of thousands of yuan."

I took my mom outside of the conference room. When we walked down the stairs on the second floor, a group of people came over. One policeman dragged my mom by the arm and wouldn't let go. I told my mom, "Let's go home. Nothing will happen." They said, "No, you cannot go." Two policemen then dragged me downstairs but I held on to the stair railing and did not let go. My mom said, "You go home. I am fine." While I went downstairs, I said, "If you are not afraid of receiving retribution, go ahead and arrest them." One policeman replied in a low voice, "I believe this, too." I said, "During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards were so rampant. But after the Cultural Revolution, what became of them? I will go to the county government and the provincial government to sue you."

I calmed down and thought it over for a while. I felt that I could not defeat the evil with ordinary people's methods. I should understand this from the Fa's point of view. I remembered that Master said, "Just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." ("Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)" from Essentials for Further Advancement II) So I calmed down to send forth righteous thoughts.

One policeman (badge # 206279) said bad words and did not show respect for Master Li. Another policeman also slandered Dafa practitioners. They said that if I was not so young, they would have beaten me and sent me to a brainwashing center.

When I went downstairs, I saw that many local government officials, the town leaders and the policemen were all busy making phone calls and asking for updates on the local arrest situation and whether the practitioners had written the five "guarantee statememts". They also said that this arrest campaign should extend to the whole county. There were four practitioners from my town who were caught. Another big passenger bus with tag # Jiling B51973 Jinling-Shaluhe brought some women practitioners with several local government officials and the local policemen to the Kouqian Town Brainwashing Center. When they got on the bus, I heard a policeman say fiercely, "The way that I 'transform' them is to slap them around."

Almost all the towns in the Shaluhe jurisdiction participated in the arrest of Dafa practitioners. As far as we know, there are four practitioners from Shaluhe Town who were captured in this arrest. They are practitioners Chen Baixiang, Xu Feng, Li Yingjie and my mom, Lian Jinhua.
