As the 16th Party Congress drew near, the police department in a certain county of Hebei Province kidnapped a group of thirteen female Falun Dafa practitioners, who denied the persecution with their utmost efforts. They began a hunger strike together to protest against their illegal detention. They stayed united and did not let the vicious police force-feed any of them. Two of them were illegally sentenced to forced labour.
After receiving notice of being sentenced to forced labour, they ripped the notice into pieces. A wicked official said, "You won't be able to go home until the 16th Party Congress is over." The Falun Dafa practitioners firmly said, "Your words mean nothing to us." In the end, all thirteen Falun Dafa practitioners were unconditionally released on the first day of the 16th Party Congress. When we unite together, there won't be any weaknesses to exploit. Meanwhile, the fellow practitioners enduring the tribulations will feel the support from the strength of us acting as one body, and they will be to overcome the hardships and put an end to the persecution.
3. A Calm and Confident Mind
The authorities kidnapped a mother and her daughter. The daughter's wedding date was the 8th of October, and invitations had already been sent to all their relatives and friends. While facing the malicious persecution and knowing that the wedding date was approaching, their minds and hearts remained extremely calm and confident. They began a hunger strike to protest the persecution and were both released on October 4th.
