Practitioners' family members were not allowed to visit them without written permission. The officials ravenously searched for Master Li's books and articles. Practitioners who were found to have either were put into small cells, brutally beaten, and were not allowed to eat or sleep. They were also tortured by being made to stand for a long time.
Because of the practitioners' upright conduct, they won over the hearts of those who monitored them. In the end, the officials passed on all the news from the outside to the practitioners.
On the morning of December 23 2003, the police found a four-metre banner hanging on a tree near the health building. The banner had red letters and a white background, and was very striking. It read, "Falun Dafa Is Great" and other such phrases. The last phrase was "Dafa Disciples Are Detained Here." The "610 Office" and the Legal Committee members panicked and put more police on patrol during the night. The evil people in the class were greatly shaken by this, and at the same time, the Dafa practitioners detained there were greatly encouraged.
On the evening of January 21 2003, one monitor said, "It's truly a miracle. I didn't see anything at noon after lunch. Later, I went out to buy something and returned before one o' clock. Then I found that along a 1/3 mile stretch of road in front of the building, red banners were hanging on all the trees. Red was everywhere. The banners were floating and dying the sky red. It looked so grand. The police officers were in a frenzy. They took down the banners one by one, a total of 548 were piled up on the car. They can't understand how someone could have slipped by them and put up so many banners; how could they be so fast?"
