"I'll keep going to appeal until Dafa has its reputation restored."

One day in June of 2000, I went out to practice the exercises along with fellow practitioners in a garden of Wulumuqi City. The policemen of Gangbei Police Station took us to Toutunhe District Detention Center. During this process from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. when we were sent to the detention center, I was handcuffed with my hands behind my back, and forcibly shackled together with two other practitioners, Cheng Qigang and Gao Xuelian. We were not given time or the chance to lodge an appeal. One guard said, "They do not accept the appeal of Falun Gong at all." During the detention, we had two meals per day. We ate corn gruel and steamed buns at 10 o'clock in the morning, and buns with vegetable soup in the afternoon. The daily expenses cost no more than 3 Yuan RMB (about 36 cents). However, we were asked to pay 30 Yuan RMB for food per day. We slept on a big plank bed. The beddings were so worn-out that they must have been used by many prisoners, yet they sold them for 90 Yuan RMB each time. It is unknown how much money they have earned by repeatedly selling these beddings. I have practiced Falun Gong for over three years, yet I still have no concept of "accumulation of wealth through dishonest means." In contrast, what I know is that we voluntarily learn the exercises and teach the exercises, do not pursue fame or interest, and only accumulate virtue. However, in the detention center, I finally got to know what the so-called "accumulation of wealth through dishonest means" shown on TV really was. I should have been given my personal freedom after I was released, yet my work unit got a strict order from the higher authorities, which stipulated that anyone like me cannot be allowed to leave the workplace, and needed to be placed under tight surveillance 24 hours a day. Thereafter, from July 11, a sentry was posted outside my home. There were three people on each shift and they changed shifts once every four hours. Whenever they changed shifts, they made sure to knock at my door to harass me for whatever reason. In addition, as far as I know, there are 60 other Dafa practitioners of Xinjiang still detained. Among them, a practitioner of the Eighth Steel Factory, Li Yuliang, was sentenced to 2 years and six months of forced-labor education. She is currently detained in Wulabo Detention Center of Wulumuqi City, Xinjiang. During the detention, her mother visited her many times and saw that her forehead had been bruised and swollen because of receiving beatings. It was said that the guards asked the criminals to beat her. Otherwise, the criminals' sentences wouldn't be reduced. The most miserable was that she was handcuffed back onto a table in such a way that she could not completely stand up and could not completely squat down either. She also had nothing to eat for six days and six nights. Li Yuliang has always been strict with herself according to "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance." She once donated 2,000 Yuan RMB to a disaster area, though she is a mere worker with a low income. At present she is detained in the labor camp and thus can not stand on Tiananmen Square to express her wishes, but I still remember what she once said: "I will keep going to appeal until the reputation of Falun Dafa is restored." On her behalf, let's express her wishes on the Minghui Net to make it known to the people all over the world, for these are her sincere words, as well as wishes shared by each and every one of us practitioners.
