Beginning to Practice Falun Dafa in Prison（Excerpt) 獄中得法記（節選）
September 25, 2013 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Yantai, Shandong Province 文: 山東煙台大法弟子
(Minghui.org) I used to work in the Family Planning Commission, a state agency in China responsible for implementing the One Child Policy. I didn't realize that I'd been assisting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) criminal activities until I started practicing Falun Dafa.
【明慧網二零一三年九月十一日】退休前我是計劃生育委員會的幹部，那時迷於工作，經常為自己的工作而感到榮耀。可學了大法，再回想過去的工作簡直就是在助紂為虐！
Before practicing Dafa, I helped my daughter run a store following my retirement; however, I was arrested on false charges and thrown into prison. The government confiscated everything in our store, froze my bank account, put my house up for auction, and harassed one of my family members. I lost everything -- even my will to live. I refused to eat or sleep in prison, waiting for this injustice to be rectified, but no progress was made on my case. I was desperate.
退休後我為下崗無生活著落的兒女經商。二零零一年初，因開連鎖店被「小人」所累，政府根本不講理，沒收了店裏的所有商品，強行封了我的銀行賬戶，以收繳銀行貸款的名義「拍賣」了我所有的房產，逼死了我的親人。在把我送進看守所時，辦案人只告訴：「此事牽扯了你，沒辦法。我們說了不算，得聽上邊，反正他們出去時肯定也讓你出去了。」轉眼之間我成了一無所有的孤家寡人！我仿佛一下子掉進了萬丈深淵！這時我刻骨的體會到了家破人亡的滋味！我失去了活下去的信心。巨大的災難使我對一切都麻木了，不睡、不吃、不哭；一天、兩天，時間無情的推移著，案子卻毫無結果，絕望、崩潰……
Falun Dafa Cleared Up My Confusion
During my imprisonment, Falun Dafa practitioners in the same cell studied the Fa daily. The words they read and recited touched my heart. They were so caring to those having difficulty and always put others' needs before their own. I witnessed the holiness and beauty of Falun Dafa through these selfless practitioners. They were brutally beaten, abused, exposed to extreme temperatures, force-fed, handcuffed, shackled and tortured in various ways, yet never wavered from their beliefs. They could have been released if they'd only promised not to practice Falun Gong. I asked them why they didn't. They explained that their lives were saved by Falun Dafa, and would never say anything against Dafa or Master. I was deeply touched by their steadfastness. My conscience was revived by their spirit.
法輪大法解開了我的迷
在那人間地獄般的看守所裏，同處一室的大法弟子們每天讀法、背法，我感到聲聲入耳，句句動心，仿佛有一雙無形的手在撫平我傷殘的身心。看著他們每天煉功、真誠的對待難友，處處為別人著想，使我感受到了大法的神聖和美好。他們無私無畏，面對無理野蠻的打、罵、冷凍、暴曬、灌食、加戴手銬腳鐐、關小號等種種迫害不動搖。其實在當時只要說「不煉」兩個字就可釋放的，可是他們就是不說、不寫半句放棄的話。我問為甚麼？他們說：「我們都曾經是有很嚴重的疾病的人，有很多都是將死之人，就是學法輪大法好的，我們能說法輪大法不好嗎？讓我們罵師父、罵大法，這是人幹的事嗎？」他們這種堅定不移的信師信法的精神深深的觸動了我，使我良知復甦。
I listened to Master's lectures and read Falun Dafa books with them. I began to understand the truth about life. I stopped feeling bitter for being wronged and stopped hating those who put me in this situation, because I finally understood why I came to this world and suffered these hardships. Falun Dafa taught me the significance of life. With gratitude to Master, I studied, recited and copied Zhuan Falun and other lectures again and again. I copied poems from Hong Yin and gave them to the inmates who were about to be released. I told them to never get involved in the persecution of Falun Gong, to be good persons and learn Falun Gong when they regained their freedom.
通過和他們一起聽大法和自己讀大法，使我領悟到了人生的真諦，從此我不再為自己的冤屈而痛苦，慢慢的也不再痛恨害我的人了！因為我明白了我為甚麼來到這個世上，又為甚麼遭遇到這麼大的災難，是法輪大法讓我明白了人生的意義是甚麼！我懷著對偉大師尊的感恩和無限的求知慾，開始反覆學、背、抄寫《轉法輪》、新經文等大法書籍，把大法弟子們能背下來的《洪吟》抄寫給每個獲釋的同室刑拘難友，告訴他們永遠不要參與破壞法輪大法，囑咐他們去找大法弟子學煉法輪功，做個好人。
Before my release, jailers asked me if I planned to appeal. I said “no”, because even though the year in prison was the worst time of my life, I obtained the most precious thing in the universe: Falun Dafa. I would have lost my life without Master's teaching and practitioners' compassion. Even though my family worried that I'd have a mental breakdown, I was actually more energized and my physical condition had improved. While others talked about how much I'd suffered in prison, I said that it was worth it, because I'd started practicing Falun Dafa.
在冤獄結束時，惡人們問我「要不要上訴」，我說「不」。這一年多時間雖然是我人生的最低谷，但我卻因此而獲得了別人想得都得不到的宇宙中最珍貴的──法輪大法。是李洪志師父那博大精深的法理喚醒了我，是眾大法徒們無限的慈悲震撼了我！沒有大法解謎，我的命就扔這了！那段時間親友們都擔心我精神壓力超負荷而崩潰，結果我反倒一身輕，比以前更精神了，多年因勞累，導致的一身疾病在得法後獲得了可喜的變化。別人說：「你付出太大了！」我說：「我此生得到了我最想得到的大法，值得。」
