After Learning the Truth About Falun Gong, the Supervisor of my Workplace Resists the Persecution

In October of 1999, I went to Tiananmen Square, Beijing, to let the people their know the truth about Falun Dafa. I was arrested and detained for fifteen days at a local police department. Later, the section chief of the public security section in my workplace brought me back to my workplace. The party secretary at my workplace asked me to write the Three Statements¹ but I refused. He then impounded my wages from that time forward. *

I began telling him the right facts about the practice to him. He said: "You were a good person at work but now you have been detained." I replied: "I used to be good at work so as to be renowned. But now my Teacher Li, the founder of Falun Gong, told us to be even better and always think of others first."

In 2000, I went to Tiananmen Square and was arrested again. My supervisor brought me back from Beijing and sent me directly to a local police department, where I was imprisoned for two days, and then transferred me to a detention centre for another thirty-five days. Afterwards, my supervisor, collaborating with the public security department, sent me to a brainwashing centre for twenty days until one day a Falun Dafa practitioner was beaten to death there. Subsequently a group of my fellow practitioners worked together to demand that I be released.

From then on, I and other Falun Dafa practitioners in my workplace started to distribute factual materials about the practise to people and talk to people about how we were persecuted. My supervisor, after understanding the whole truth about the persecution, didn't wanted to cooperate with the public security department any more. After that, whenever other practitioners from my workplace went to Beijing to appeal and got arrested, the supervisor just brought them back and sent them home directly and told the practitioners: "If you go to Beijing to appeal again just be very careful and don't get caught."

Once the public security department called me and told me not leave my home or talk to anyone. I did not listen but left home instead. Several officers from the public security department came to my house to search for me and found nobody, so they went to my workplace to find me. My supervisor did not want to see them and found some excuses to avoid them. These officers then stayed in the reception room and showed no intention of leaving. They asked the receptionist for water to drink because they were very thirsty. But the receptionist did not pay attention to them at all and said: "You deserve to die of thirst. Why do you always arrest good people?" The officers then had no choice but to leave.

In 2001, I showed the people in my workplace a written statement describing my personal experience of being arrested, imprisoned, beaten and punished due to the persecution of Falun Gong. After reading this statement, my supervisor told the director of the payroll department to return the two years' salary that had been withheld from me.

One day in June of 2002, someone knocked my door. My children thought the lady they saw from the peephole was a fellow Falun Dafa practitioner. Actually it was the Director of the Residence Committee. As soon as my children opened the door, a group of about ten officers from the public security department rushed into my house from where they had been hiding out of sight of the peephole. They turned my house upside down, searching every corner, really frightening my children. They confiscated any items of value from my house and then dragged me all the way to the police car and sent me to the brainwashing centre for further persecution. They ordered my supervisor to send two people and five thousand yuan² to them. But my supervisor refused to comply and resisted them steadfastly. Because I refused to cooperate with them as well I was released unconditionally on the fourth day.

Note:

1. Three Statements: Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write "Repentance Statement," "Guarantee Statement" or 'Dissociation Statement" as proof that they have given up their belief. In the statement, the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.

2. Yuan is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.
