"Falun Dafa is good" Echoes over a Forced Labor Camp

A local car came to take me home. Officer Wang called me to his office and we had a brief conversation. I wanted to make use of this last opportunity to help him learn the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution. He said, "You don't need to tell me, we have seen everything over these past years, we have all learned the true situation. I won't check your belongings. You can leave now."

With a firm, steady stride, I stepped out of the metal gates of Division No.5 in the forced labour camp. Looking back, [I saw] all those detained in Division No. 5 standing straight in the corridor of their dormitory watching me go. I shouted loudly, "Please remember the heartfelt words that Falun Gong practitioners have told you, please remember those nine words, and please help your relatives and friends do the three withdrawals should you return home."

I was about to shout "Falun Dafa is good" to say goodbye to them, but before I could say the words, some of them shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is good."

"Falun Dafa is good" echoed over the entire forced labour camp. I burst into tears of happiness for the183 people held in Division No. 5 whose lives had truly been saved. I'm free, but I think "Falun Dafa is good" is still reverberating above the forced labour camp.

One day ahead of my release from the camp, the head of the guards suddenly told me, "When you leave today, your local authorities will come to drive you back home." Why did they suddenly release me one day ahead of time? I learned later on that the officials were afraid that my fellow practitioners would come to pick me up the next day. Fellow practitioners' sending righteous thoughts in close proximity was really powerful and it had struck fear into the evil. Two practitioners had left Division No. 5 smoothly because fellow practitioners outside the camp came to send righteous thoughts in close proximity to eliminate factors that attempted to continue their persecution, and they then took the two practitioners home.

For a long time, whoever was sent to Division No.5, either guard or detainee, would be informed of the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution if they had not learned about it. Everybody quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations if they had not already done so. Some guards helped practitioners protect Falun Gong books. Practitioners held in this division have not endured passively. Although the old forces took advantage of the practitioners' loopholes, the practitioners have always negated the old forces' arrangements and firmly resisted the persecution. They clearly remember that they are Dafa practitioners regardless of any negative circumstances. They required of themselves to do well the three things (study the Fa [the teachings of Falun Dafa], send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and about the persecution to the world's people.) in whatever conditions, and studied the Fa and sent righteous thoughts daily. Every one of them joined group practice. They refused to wear a prisoner's uniform, and neither did they take part in hard labour or attend meetings and political studies. They still formed a small entity despite being in such a vicious environment and refused to be interfered with by evil factors.

We understand that only by studying the Fa more can we strengthen our righteous thoughts, and disintegrate the factors of persecution; only by studying the Fa well can we truly offer more sentient beings salvation, and the greatness of Falun Dafa and practitioners' field of righteous thought can make its appearance and be displayed to sentient beings. So many people took the initiative to find us practitioners to learn the facts about Falun Gong. They wanted to read Zhuan Falun, listen to the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, watch the truth clarification VCD False Fire, and learn to practice the Falun Gong exercises. We made the best use of our opportunities. Sometimes we went along with their attachments to explain to them the facts about Falun Gong and advise them to withdraw from the CCP. They wholeheartedly believe "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." We were delighted to see so many lives being saved for having learned the facts. "Falun Dafa is good" often resounded in the camp, and was often shouted loudly by non-practitioners.
