(Clearwisdom.net) The CCP intensified the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners during the Olympics, and in the months leading up to the Olympics, to "ensure Olympic security" and to "not lose face for China." In truth, the CCP simply wanted to make sure that anyone with a contrary view to the official party line was effectively silenced, so that China's "dirty laundry" couldn't be made public.

We had established a large Falun Gong materials site which was mainly responsible for printing copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and Master's new articles. On the eve of the Olympics Games, 610 Office personnel and police destroyed our materials site. The practitioners working there were detained. The police carried out cruel tortures on the practitioners. Due to the intense pressure and the severity of the torture, one practitioner revealed the name of another practitioner. Thus that practitioner was also arrested.

However this second practitioner that had been exposed, handed over his fate to Master on the day he was arrested. The police carried out inhumane tortures on him and tried to force him to reveal another practitioner. Although the police used cunning methods to trick him and tortured him, the practitioner behaved according to the requirements of a Fa-rectification practitioner. He used the Fa to guide him and had righteous thoughts and righteous actions. He did not acknowledge the arrangements of the old forces. He held steadfast to his belief and did not fall into any of their traps.

His family quietly supported him. This is because his family has a good understanding of Falun Gong and knows that all of these atrocities are just the desperate acts of an evil regime while it struggles in its final death throes. The entire time, his family supported him. Besides that, while being detained, he continually clarified the truth about Falun Gong to the police while maintaining a compassionate, righteous mindset. Many of the police he talked to realized that what they were doing was indeed wrong and wanted to change their ways, avoiding the same fate that awaits the CCP. Thus they decided to let the practitioner go. They now understood that Falun Gong practitioners are good people; people who cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They believe that if they continue to persecute good people, they will meet the same in return, and realized that the persecution is against the will of heaven.

Because he behaved in the most righteous way throughout the entire time when he was detained, this practitioner managed to be released from detention. His demeanor demonstrated that when "Disciples' righteous thoughts are strong, Master has the power to turn the tide." ("Master-Disciple Grace" from Hong Yin II, translation version B)
