However, if it were not for my job, I would not perform such a duty against my will, because my mother is also a Falun Gong practitioner. Although the media is full of reports about how Falun Gong teaches people to commit "self-immolation," "suicide" or "homicide," etc, I don't believe anything that they have said. I have casually flicked through some Falun Gong books, and found no such things as "anti-humanity," "anti-science," "with ulterior motives" etc, which are claimed by the propaganda on todays t.v. These books only teach people to be good.
In mid-August 2000, my mother suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. Out of our concern, my wife and I forced her to go to the hospital for an examination. Under our coercion, she had to go there and take a CT examination. After the result came out, a doctor told us that there was a 1.2-inch--long and 0.41-inch-wide tumour in her lung. The hospital decided to schedule an operation to remove it in three days.
On that day, my father and I helped my mother to get ready for the operation. My wife is a doctor in that hospital, and she had been waiting for us there. Routinely every patient should be re-examined before their operation. To our surprise, however, the re-examination showed that the tumour in my mother's lung had disappeared completely. We were puzzled greatly and asked the doctors if they were serious with the conclusion. They confirmed: "It is true, and we never joke on such a matter. She is okay now, and you can take her back home." We believed what we had been told when my wife, who is an expert in medicine, reassured us. Later, my wife told me that the doctors themselves were puzzled too and called it a "miracle."
Happily we were home. At that moment, I could not help shouting out: "Falun Gong is so marvellous!" I would not have believed what had happened, had I not experienced it personally. I said to my father: "Why don't you practise Falun Gong too? You can see that mother has saved so many medical expenses over these years. Even the tumour disappeared suddenly from her lung even after it had been clearly diagnosed as been present. If you practise Falun Gong, I'd fully support you."
As a matter of fact, all my mother's lingering illnesses throughout the years have disappeared since she started practising Falun Gong. Moreover, she is happier than ever. Whenever she has leisure time, she is always reading the book Zhuan Falun [The main text of Falun Gong], which is so precious to her. As her son, it also makes me happy to see my mother in good health. Since July 20th, 1999, the authorities have used whatever means available to eradicate Falun Gong. However, instead of being weakened, more and more people have begun to learn Falun Gong, and Falun Gong is becoming more and more popular everywhere. Falun Gong practitioners never resort to any violent activity and are always peaceful. There are so many Falun Gong practitioners like that in our city. I never saw a "terrorist group" that behaves like this. The media in China really overdid the propaganda.
In the police department, I told my subordinates not to treat Falun Gong practitioners harshly because these practitioners truly did benefit a lot from the practise. I told them the true story of my mother and that they should not to be taken in by what the media said.
Please forgive me for not divulging my real identity here, because my superiors are still nervous about Falun Gong. They have been at their wits' end in the suppression. I sincerely hope that all my police colleagues will be able to understand Falun Gong, too.
