Lawless Policemen Ransack Practitioner's Home and Kidnap Elderly Practitioner

Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province

At around 1 p.m. on September 6, 2001, six or seven policemen, including Sun Guohua and Li Changchun from the Xiangdong Chemical Factory in Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province, suddenly went to an older practitioner's home and knocked on the door. Before the practitioner opened the door, the policemen jumped over the wall into his courtyard, broke into his home, and ransacked it. After they found nothing worth confiscating, they ordered the elderly practitioner to open a locked case. The man was so frightened at the policemen's freebooting that he couldn't find the key to the case after searching for an hour. At this time, two policemen damaged the lock on the case and pried it open. They took away a stack of white paper, some telephone cords, which were prepared for phone installation, a recorder, a VCR, and some other items. They still claimed they would take the old man away and fine him 5,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income in urban China]. The elderly practitioner is a retired worker with a low pension. He didn't have much money. However, the policemen said if the practitioner did not give them money, they would arrest him. Having no choice, the practitioner's daughter borrowed 500 Yuan and gave it to the policemen, and then they released the practitioner.

Someone asked the practitioner, "What crime did you commit? Why did the "People's Policemen" mistreat you this way?"

The old man answered, "I didn't do anything wrong and didn't say anything wrong. I have never been against the government. Because I was old and sick, earning a very low income and my work unit wouldn't cover my medical bills, in order to become healthy, I practiced Falun Gong. I am uneducated so I learned Falun Dafa by listening to tapes and watching videotapes. After studying the Fa [Law And principles of Falun Gong] I became healthy. I can't go against my conscience and say that Falun Dafa is bad, not to mention even slandering Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is good. It not only cured my illnesses, but also taught me the fundamental principles to be a good person. By doing good deeds and collecting de [virtue], I will be healthy, whereas if I do bad things and hurt others, I will fall ill. Is there anything wrong with being healthy and being a good person? I really want to find a place to reason with the police. Did I cause harm to society by staying at home? On the other hand, would jumping over walls, hammering the lock, prying the case and illegally confiscating people's private property bring more stability to society?"

"There is really no place for you to reason in a society like this..."
