Once, he and several other practitioners shouted statements supporting Falun Dafa during a meeting slandering Dafa, and as a result, he was beaten up and his detention term was extended. In February 2003, after his detention term had expired, he was illegally held in his workplace and not allowed to go back home.

[China] Get Rid of the Attachment to Fear; Let's Walk the Last Part of the Fa-Rectification Path Well

A police officer in Mainland China told a Dafa practitioner this story: During the three-day Lantern Festival this year, while he and his colleagues were on duty, when they saw Dafa practitioners distributing truth-clarifying materials in an open and dignified manner, they didn't do anything because they knew Dafa is good. Later they saw two female Dafa practitioners looking a little frightened while distributing materials. They took them to the police station, hoping the two could clarify the truth about Falun Gong to them. The practitioners, though, didn't even say a word in several hours. The police officers let them go with their materials, but expressed pity that they didn't hear any stories about Falun Gong.
