(Minghui.org) As a Falun Gong practitioner, I was targeted in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s latest nationwide “Zero-out” campaign, a concerted effort to force every Falun Gong practitioner on the government’s blacklists to renounce their faith. When the police realized that I would never sign a statement renouncing Falun Gong, they decided to put pressure on my husband. But after they talked to him, they stopped harassing me. What did my husband say?
In the first half of 2021, five police officers, four junior and one senior, showed up at our residential community and called my husband downstairs to meet with them.
The senior officer asked, “What are the benefits of your wife practicing Falun Gong?”
“My wife was in very bad health,” my husband said. “She took all kinds of medicine and got all kinds of injections. She had no appetite and was very thin and weak. After she started to practice Falun Gong, her health got better and better. She didn’t need to take any pills or see doctors anymore. We have been married for decades. Not only have I witnessed her improve physically but also morally. I would say that if everyone behaves like Falun Gong practitioners who live by Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to be good, society would be peaceful and the moral standards would improve again.”
The senior officer said, “OK, we won’t disturb her anymore. But I have one more question: Why are they (Falun Gong practitioners) against the CCP?”
My husband replied, “They are not against the CCP. You think that because the former head of the CCP Jiang Zemin fabricated lies to slander Falun Gong and deceive people. Practitioners are simply clarifying the truth and exposing the lies. No one should believe those lies. For example, you know that the “Tiananmen self-immolation” was a hoax, right? Think about it, that square is so big, how could the police put out the fire in minutes unless they were patrolling with fire extinguishers? If you take a closer look at the picture of one of the alleged immolators, even though his face was burned, his hair and eyebrows were still fine. And the plastic bottle filled with gasoline on his crossed legs was intact! How could that be possible? There are many more such discrepancies.”
After my husband finished talking, he extended his arms, ready to be handcuffed and arrested. But the senior police officer said, “What are you doing? I have agreed not to do anything to you. I will keep my word. And what you said does make sense. Sorry to bother you. You can go now.”
They have never come back.
My husband used to work out of town and had to get up early in the morning and come back very late at night. On December 12, 2012, he was hit by a car on his way home.
He was riding a bicycle and suddenly he felt like he was speeding. He looked back and saw a car right behind him, pushing his bicycle! It was a very dangerous situation. Somehow he had his wits about him and squeezed the brakes very hard before jumping off. Then he saw the car run over the bicycle. He might have died if he hadn’t jumped.
Several cab drivers witnessed what had happened and stopped the driver of the car, a young man. Someone called the police while another person contacted the nearby hospital. The ambulance took my husband to the hospital, where an X-ray showed his third and fourth vertebrae were fractured. The doctor suggested operating on him right away.
My husband didn’t want to have the operation. He thought the driver didn’t mean to hit him and he might not be able to afford the 24,000-yuan surgery. He asked to be treated as an outpatient and the doctor agreed.
Thinking about the accident, my husband said that he thought that he survived because Master had protected him. He said, “I do not know how to express my appreciation to Master Li, but I will repay him with my words and deeds.”
Since then, he has been actively helping me to urge people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, as well as helping fellow practitioners in difficulties. He always tells people, “(Quitting the CCP) is for your own good. It saves your life without costing you a penny, so why not? If Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is evil, what s good? Please think about it carefully and do not listen to the propaganda. I trust my wife and you can see how healthy we are.”
