The Song of "Falun Dafa Is Good" Resounds Throughout a Prison Cell During the Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday, the day for a reunion of the entire family. However, I spent this day in a detention centre. There were 16 people in my prison cell, four of them were Falun Dafa practitioners. On the day of the festival, those of us confined together in the same cell voluntarily held a small literature and art celebration, each one of us making a small presentation. When it came to my turn, I sang, as loudly and clearly as I could, "Falun Dafa is good, Falun Dafa is righteous, the Buddha light illuminates everywhere!" Then, everyone in that prison cell joined together to sing with me, "Falun Dafa is good." I also sang two other songs. Another practitioner recited poems praising our great Teacher and other poems. Tragically, the practitioner who recited the poems was later illegally sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment in Dabei Prison, Shenyang City.

The Falun Dafa practitioners' clear voices were solemn and benevolent, echoing to all the corridors in the detention centre and warming every persons heart. The prisoners broke into tears that showed their appreciation and respect for the practitioners.

An illiterate woman from a rural area in Anhui Province learnt to sing "Falun Dafa is Good," and her singing can be heard every day in the detention centre. Another prisoner said, "I will practise Falun Gong once I get out, and I will help you promote Falun Dafa." One after another, people came to understand the truth.
