One Brochure Awakens a Police Chief and His Family

(Minghui.org) I am a farmer. My wife, my son, and I practice Falun Dafa. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. No matter how hard the Party tried to defame Dafa, they could not shake our belief. The beauty of Falun Dafa was firmly rooted in our hearts.

The police arrested my 16-year-old son in November 2002. They said that he planned to go to Beijing and disturb the social order. It was obvious that they wanted to extort money from us. If we did not bribe them they would take my son to a forced labor camp or worse. I thought, “They are really taking advantage of this persecution to advance themselves! If they do this to my son, they will continue and do the same thing to other people’s children. I must stop them. If we let them keep this up, it’s they who will be destroyed in the end.”

We happened to have a brochure that my wife got when she worked in a restaurant. It had information about the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province. The guards stripped the clothes off of female practitioners and forced them into the male cells. This showed that the CCP completely lost its conscience. I took the brochure and went to the police station chief’s home.

His wife opened the door. She did not know me so she asked, “Who are you? What do you want?” I said, “Your husband was recently appointed to the police station chief position. He’s eager to achieve something to get promoted quickly. He arrested my son. The police accused him of planning to go to Beijing and disturb the social order. My son is only 16 years old and is in middle school! How can he go to Beijing? Falun Dafa practitioners follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be good people and consider others first. We don’t do anything bad. Is that a crime? Here is a brochure. Please take a look. I hope you can understand what is really happening!”

She accepted the brochure. I continued, “Practitioners made this brochure using their own money. Please return it to me after you read it. Falun Dafa practitioners don’t lie—all the information in the brochure is true. If you have any doubts you can go to Liaoning Province to investigate yourself. I will pay for your travel expenses.”

I brought 2,000 yuan to her the next morning. I put the money in a transparent plastic bag and they were all in 1 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan bills. I knocked on the door. When she opened it her eyes were red and swollen. I handed her the money and said, “I sold my green onions for 3,000 yuan this year. Here is 2,000 yuan for you to go to Liaoning Province, to investigate whether the information is true.” She did not accept the money and said, “We can’t accept the money, we can’t accept it! I believe the information in the brochure to be true.”

Shortly after I got home, the police chief called me, asking me to come to the police station. From his tone of voice, I felt he was upset. I said, “I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not going!” He immediately lowered his voice and said gently, “Please come. I just want to ask you something, nothing else.” I thought, “He is trying to trick me to go there so he can arrest me. What should I do?”

Suddenly, the phrase “Every person is family to me...” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Practitioners”) appeared in my mind. Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) told us that everyone in this world is Master’s relative. I felt that I must go; I must help the police chief. I asked my brother to go with me, wanting him to be the witness if they arrested me. I did not want to give them the chance to fabricate a crime to arrest me and then deceive and mislead my family.

When we arrived at the station, the police chief invited us to sit down. He asked me, “Where did you get that brochure?” I said, “Someone left it and my wife picked it up.” He asked again, “What did you tell my wife that made her cry?” I said, “Your wife is a good person, she is very kind! Your children are also excellent. I hope they will not be implicated later for the evil you have been doing! Look at the Red Guards and the rebels during the Cultural Revolution, they acted outrageously but in the end, which one of them escaped punishment? Your wife is worried about you! You are the pillar of your family, if anything happens to you, how can they live? Of course, she’s upset!”

He lowered his head and silently kept listening. I continued, “I’m really worried for you! I gave you the brochure so you can know what the CCP has done. Are they still human? They will not end up well in the future. Gods are watching! You should think about it and stop following them!” After I finished speaking I got up and left.

I went to his home on Friday. My son was released the following Monday. Whenever we met afterward, the police chief was like a different person. He smiled at me and advised me, “Pay attention to your safety!”

He later accepted a different position and no longer participated in anything related to the persecution of Falun Dafa.
