Thinking that I practised Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance with openness and dignity, I went with them. After arriving at the police department, Jia Jianchao asked several questions and then hurried to show me some so-called materials, telling me, "Take a look. It doesn't matter whether you sign on it or not, I will send you to prison anyway. When they tried to force me into the car, I held onto the door frame, refusing to get in the car.
