(Minghui.org) On December 17, 2020, I received an express mail communication from the Social Insurance Fund Management Center. The letter informed me that my pension would be deducted for the period that I was illegally detained between 2007 and 2012.

I visited the Social Insurance Fund Management Center on the morning of December 22. A lady told me that my pension would be deducted for the time of my sentence and she even showed me some documents for prisoners. I read it through and told her that the document was referring to criminal offenders, while I was illegally detained for practicing Falun Gong. I said that they have no legal right to deduct my pension. I also requested to talk to her supervisor if she was unable to make a decision on the situation. She hesitated, but then gave me the contact information for her supervisor.

As I was considering whether I should visit the supervisor, I received a phone call from a Mr. Li from the Social Insurance Fund Management Center. He requested that I make an appointment with him to talk about the pension issue.

When we met at the end of December 2020, Mr. Li and two other people put a small video recorder in front of me. He then made a copy of my identification card. He reiterated the circumstances of my pension deduction issue. I told him that I was illegally detained and persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party and that it was not wrong to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I explained to them that Falun Gong is good for everyone, as it is a universal cultivation practice of high virtue. I made sure they all understood that in 2000, the Ministry of Public Security listed fourteen cult organizations that did not include Falun Gong, and that it is legal to publish Falun Gong books.

I told them, “The Jiang [referring to former CCP leader Jiang Zemin] regime committed heinous crimes. They are very corrupt and have been harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and selling them for profit. Do you know how many innocent lives were lost in the Cultural Revolution and how many college students were killed on Tiananmen Square on June 4th? Now you should think about whether it is worth it to follow immoral directives just to please your boss. You should consider your family and loved ones. If you do something wrong today and commit an unforgivable sin, you are committing an offence against the divine!” 

Li wouldn’t listen to me and said he would be willing to die for everything he has. I felt very sorry for him. No matter what I said, they kept silent. One of them printed out a form, wrote something on it and asked me to sign. I told them the form was invalid and meant nothing to me. I tore the form to pieces and threw it on the table.

They printed another form. I became emotional and told them their lives are more important than anything else. I felt sorry for them as they would give up their lives for such a form. They just looked straight at me and didn’t say a word. I stood there and wiped away my tears. I decided to send more righteous thoughts after I got home.

I have firm belief in Master and the Fa. It’s been four months since I met with Mr. Li and I have received my pension every month. 

I have recounted my experience of telling the facts about Falun Gong to government officials as best I could. This is the first time I have ever written about any of my cultivation experiences.
