Tiananmen Square

On December 19^th, 2000, seven of us came to Tiananmen Square. When I saw the square full of policemen, hired thugs, undercover police and soldiers, a righteous thought came to my mind: "These are all illusions. Master Li is waiting for me to come. All gods in heaven are looking at me!" Then I stepped forward and unfolded a banner, which says, "Falun Dafa rectifies the human world" and shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is wonderful! Return innocence to Master Li and Falun Dafa!" At this time, 3-4 vicious policemen came to me and grabbed my banner and kicked me down to the ground. But I didn't stop shouting. While enduring the harsh beating, I told myself: "I am a Falun Dafa cultivator. You are not able to beat me." Later two brutal policemen hit my head hard with electric batons when they tried to force me onto a police van. I heard it sound like striking on some stones. I kept shouting so one policemen seized me by the throat. Treated this way, I did not lose my righteous mind, "I am a deity. How can you seize a deity by throat? I can still shout!" So I shouted more loudly.

I was detained together with other Falun Dafa practitioners in a huge iron cage, which contained several hundred people, from aged people with white hair to a newly born baby. I was very excited at that time, " Master Li, I am finally catching up with the process of Fa-rectification!" I picked up a banner that the policemen had thrown on the ground and hung it on a wall. And then I picked up another banner and secretly put into my pocket and prepared to unfold it in the police van.

Later, we were taken away in 6 big buses. When the buses passed the downtown area, I took out one banner over 1 meter long and unfolded it outside the window. The banner worded, "Falun Dafa is wonderful" fluttered in the wind for several minutes before it was snatched by the policemen. They fiercely cursed me, however, I didn't feel afraid. Though I didn't have any banner now, I could still shout. Therefore, I opened the window and shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is wonderful!" The policemen in the front threatened me again, "Go ahead and shout. See how we are going to handle you!" I ignored them and kept shouting. Then another two practitioners joined me. Later all practitioners on the bus started to shout, "Falun Dafa is wonderful!" The policemen turned the volume of music up all the way but failed to drown our voices. They then said, "They'll stop when their throats become hoarse." Hearing this, some practitioners suggested that we take turns shouting while others wondered if the passers-by could hear us if we shouted this way. I answered, " We are deities. How can the throats of deities become hoarse? How enormous is this Dafa? As long as we utter the sound, people on the street can hear us. Master Li does everything for us!" Therefore, when we shouted loudly, we could see that the passers-by on the street and people in vehicles all looked at us. Some even nodded, smiled or waved at us. We also smiled and waved to them. I thought this was also to promote Dafa and expose the evil and let people see how many good people they arrest once again.

Police Station

Later I was sent to some police station in Beijing and detained there for 48 hours. We five practitioners were detained at the same time. On the first day, policemen were extremely nice to us because they wanted to deceive us into telling them our personal information. In the evening, the policemen showed their true colors and swore at Dafa and Master Li. I did not uphold my Xinxing well upon hearing the slanderous words and also yelled at them saying that I couldn't allow them to swear at Dafa and Master Li in front of me and they were doing bad things. They threatened to punish me with torture instruments and detain me for 3 years. I was not frightened at all. In the evening, when I shared my experience with another practitioner, she told me that she once encountered the same issue as well. She warned the policeman on duty not to slander Teacher and Dafa in front of her but he would not listen to her. Then she said that she would protect Dafa with her life. Realizing she was really serious, the policeman became scared and told the policeman on the next shift, "Do not curse Master Li and Dafa in front of her, or she will die here and we can't take this responsibility." I found the gap in my xinxing from her words and behavior.

During the two days in the police station, we insisted on practicing the Falun Dafa exercises. Because our minds were righteous, policemen could do nothing about us. In the morning of the third day, we read Zhuan Falun in a group. Four to five policemen came in and just listened to us quietly. This place was rectified by us.

Later the police asked me if I had achieved my goal. I answered no. Fa has not been rectified so my goal has not been achieved.

Police Sub-station

In the afternoon of the third day, we three practitioners were transferred to a police sub-station. The first test I met was to say "report" to the soldier before I entered the door. I wanted to see how the other two practitioners would react. Master Li saw my attachment so the police told me to walk in first. When I came to the door, the policemen shouted at me fiercely, " Shout report". I had a righteous mind, "Only prisoners will shout report. How can a deity shout report?" I answered, "No, I don't know how to shout report." The policemen said, "If you don't know how to shout report, how can you enter the door." I said, "Then I won't enter." I stepped aside and other practitioners behind me followed. When the policemen asked them to shout report, they said they didn't know how. Then the policemen laughed, " Well, you come in."

We met two people in the cell, who were extremely warm to us and claimed that they were local practitioners. Later they showed us an appeal form that was said to come out 20 days ago, saying that we could write down 4 things (1. Remove the arrest warrant for Master Li; 2. Return innocence to Falun Dafa; 3. Give us a legal environment in which to practice Falun Gong; 4. Release all Falun Dafa practitioners in detention) so long as we revealed our true names and addresses. At that time I mistakenly thought I should fill out this form. Later, one 70-year old practitioner woke me up, " Don't believe them. It is not known whether they are from the transformation team." When I was summoned for interrogation in the evening, I had a righteous mind, " I am a great Arhat in the human world. All gods and ghosts are afraid of me." Hence I squared my shoulders and walked out. The interrogators asked me to fill out a form that was exactly the same as what those two people had showed us earlier. I rejected the request firmly. Later I comprehended that "How could we hand in such form to the demon? They wanted to deceive us into leaving Beijing and decrease the pressure on them."

Detention Center

In the detention center, five of us were placed in one cell so we had the chance to practice and study the Fa in group everyday. During the detention, I was interrogated 4 times. Every time I treated the police with a righteous mind and didn't tell them my name and address. When they asked why I refused to disclose my personal information, I answered, " If I tell you, you will send me back to my hometown. Then the leaders in my workplace and my spouse's workplace, as well as supervisors in the security department and the police station will get into trouble and may even lose their jobs. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and I don't want them to get implicated because of me. Everyone has a spouse, children and parents. It is not easy to keep a job. They don't cultivate Falun Dafa, what wrong things have they done? Jiang Zemin has done bad things and persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. I will not allow them to be persecuted!" I often told these policemen, " You are also victims. It is against your conscience for you to do such work today. You leave bad people alone and always arrest good people. Good people are detained and bad people are set free. Please think about it, what will society turn into?" After hearing what I said, the policemen wept, " You are very nice. You cultivators are so benevolent. You are considerate to so many people." I told them, "Please go ahead no matter how many years you want to detain me. I came to Beijing to rectify Dafa. I won't go back home if the Fa is not rectified."

In the end, the policemen said, " If you don't say your names, we can't buy tickets for you." I said, " Then I will follow my teacher and have a surname of Li." The other 6 practitioners also said their surnames were Li. The policemen smiled.
