被真理唤醒的心(57)

我从拘留所出来后不久，二零零零年五月十三日临近。

五月十三日是法轮大法师父生日和世界法轮大法日。

每年这个日子临近时，中共都大规模抓捕大法弟子。

一夜间中共就抓了我所在小区里很多大法弟子。我和三位年轻的广州弟子 —— 一位会计、一位导游、一位房地产公司经理 —— 赶紧离开家，背着背囊绕道北上。

我们打算在五月十三日那天到天安门广场打横幅。

五月十二日下午，我们到达北京，住进天安门附近的一家旅馆。

夜幕降临时，我们聚在旅馆房间里小声读《转法轮》。

我一直很沉默，因为害怕，不知道前方有什么在等着。天安门一带巡逻的士兵是带枪的，我们面对的是整个国家的暴力统治机器。

但我丝毫没有打退堂鼓的想法，我很高兴我的三位同修也没有。（待续）

Shortly after I got out of the detention center, May 13, 2000 drew near.

May 13 was Falun Dafa Master’s birthday as well as World Falun Dafa Day.

Every year when this day drew near, the CCP arrested a lot of Dafa practitioners.

Overnight, the CCP arrested many of the Dafa practitioners in my neighborhood. I hastened to leave home with three young Guangzhou female fellow practitioners — an accountant, a tour guide, and a manager of a real estate company. Carrying backpacks, we took detours northward.

We intended to hold up a banner in Tiananmen Square on May 13.

On the afternoon of May 12, we arrived in Beijing and checked in a hotel near Tiananmen Square.

When it got dark, the four of us got together in a hotel room, reading Zhuan Falun in a low voice.

I had been silent most of the time, because of fear, not knowing what was waiting ahead. The soldiers patrolling around Tiananmen Square carried guns. What we were facing was the entire state violent ruling apparatus.

Nonetheless I didn’t have the thought of receding in the least. I was glad that the three fellow practitioners didn’t have either.
