(Clearwisdom.net) During the Beijing Olympic Games, officials with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s State Security Bureau and 610 Office arrested large numbers of Falun Gong practitioners claiming it was necessary to maintain security for the Games. Practitioners were illegally detained and sent to jail, forced labor camps, or brainwashing centers. Many practitioners who were not arrested were subjected to 24-hour surveillance. I was one of these practitioners and would like to share my cultivation insights from this experience.

Two surveillance teams, each consisting of two to three police officers and several staff members from the neighborhood committee, totaling eight to nine people, took turns watching me day and night. They followed me everywhere and did not let me out of their sight. My neighbors started to complain about the ongoing surveillance. One neighbor said, "They are really out of line." Another said, "How much money is the government spending on this?"

How should I respond to the surveillance and to those who were spying on me? I studied the Fa and decided to listen to Teacher's lectures. I felt peaceful and calm. Fa study reinforced my faith and rectified my attitude. I thought, "I must save these policemen. At any other time I would have a difficult time reaching you, but now you have come to me. This is a great opportunity for you to understand the facts about Falun Gong and be saved. I shall turn this bad thing into a good one."

Every time I went grocery shopping, they would follow me. At first, I pretended I didn't notice their presence. One day, I turned around and saw a man quickly squat down out of view and another turn and hide behind an electricity pole. I decided to stand still. After a while, they peeked around to see where I was. I asked them to come over: "Look at yourselves. What do you think you look like? You should act like a normal, decent person. Instead, you have to sneak around and hide like a ghost. Forget about hiding. Why don't you walk beside me. The CCP ordered you to live like a ghost. I will give you an opportunity to live like a human being." As they walked with me, I would clarify the truth to them.

I said to them, "Your job is to be a special agent. Those who spy on Falun Gong practitioners will eventually suffer karmic retribution." I also explained to them that the self-immolation at Tiananmen Square was a staged hoax to incite people's hatred against Falun Gong and to justify the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. I talked with them about how wonderful Falun Gong is and that it has spread to over 80 countries around the world. I informed them that it was Jiang Zemin's jealousy that drove him to start the persecution of Falun Gong. "It could have been other policemen that were on today's shift," I said. "Have you thought about that? This is destiny. We must have a predestined relationship." One of them said, "Destiny. You are right. When I first saw you, I felt you were very amiable. I wanted to talk to you." I replied, "I haven't treated you like my enemy, but as a friend. It is because you were forced to spy on me. You were forced by the wicked CCP to do this to make ends meet. I can understand where you are coming from."

During our conversation, I talked about how the CCP is the source of all the disasters in China. They gradually acknowledged and accepted the truth about the CCP. Next, I told them about the growing trend to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I told them that The Epoch Times newspaper published a public announcement to urge people to erase the mark of the Beast by quitting the CCP and/or its two affiliated student leagues so as to avoid the same terrible fate as the CCP when it perishes. Once they knew the truth, these policemen quit the CCP and encouraged their family members to do the same. I was happy for these lives who have been saved. Some people were confused and asked, "Why are you so cordial to these people who spy on you?" One man said, "You are lucky to have someone to carry your groceries for you." One of the policemen replied, "We treat her like we are her sons."

People often ask how I survived the surveillance during the Beijing Olympic Games, and this is how. In addition to studying, memorizing, and following the Fa, I humbly asked Teacher to reinforce my righteous thoughts. On the surface, it was I that did the work, but it has always been Teacher who actually made all the arrangements and did the work. From the bottom of my heart, I must say, "Thank you, Teacher!"

This concludes my experience and humble insights. Please kindly correct any inappropriate understanding I may have.
