A Ray of Light in a Dark Corner

The great wave of people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not only shocks the authorities, it also shocks the public. One scene after another in the detention centre has enabled me to see more clearly the light surrounding the darkness here in the detention centre.

Every cell holds nearly 30-40 people. Though the reasons for their detentions are different, their mood is the same: pain, worry and confusion about their uncertain future. We take all possible chances to talk to them about Falun Gong so that they can learn the truth. All have heard about Falun Gong, but the evil propaganda spewed by the CCP's media has poisoned almost every Chinese persons mind. We started telling the people around us what Falun Gong is, why we were detained and persecuted, about the wide spread of the practise around the world, the corruption of today's China, why somebody develops the mental state to commit crimes, and what the fundamental reason for being detained is, etc.

Falun Gong practitioners' compassionate words, action and righteous field quickly changed and rectified everything, moving things in a compassionate direction, helping those detainees feel that they had found some friends in this strange and terrible environment, someone to care about them and someone who will really listen to what they have to say. They started to complain about the abusive treatment of towards practitioners and felt indignant about practitioners' bitter experiences. They also felt regret for their own crimes.

We also talked about the CCP's crimes and nature, and people all agreed with us. Then we talked about how heaven would eliminate the CCP and people would obtain safety by quitting the CCP, to which many people also agreed with us.

A great deal of people in detention were wronged. During the process of dealing with the police, procuratorate and legal system, they have personally experienced and witnessed the dark side of the society and corruption of officials. They told their families to quit the CCP and its related organisations. Some people were to be released and said after they were released, they would ask their whole families to quit the CCP and to post their withdrawals on the Internet. They witnessed how the detention guards and feudal bullies colluded with each other, how sinister gangs and the deranged political party, politicians and gangsters, work together as one.

After understanding the truth and quitting the CCP, the majority of them started to learn more about Falun Gong. Some of them started to recite poems written by the founder of Falun Gong, Mr Li Hongzhi, some started to learn the meditation and exercises, some recited "Falun Dafa is good" in their minds, and more of them started to rectify their own behaviour.

In this dark corner of the detention centre, we see the hope sentient beings have and also feel Master Li's great compassion and the mighty power of Falun Gong.
