這次我回家，父母對我的態度和上次完全不一樣。
他們都到過勞教所，目睹中共的迫害和謊言使他們憤怒。
父親一直欣賞堅強的人，我在牢中的堅強贏得了他前所未有的尊敬。他在給我姐姐的信中說：「你妹妹很堅強。」
過去他對我說話總是命令式的，而且只有他說了算。我從牢裡出來後，他的語氣平等多了，還時不時會問我：「這個問題你怎麼看？你說吧，我聽著。」
有些事，他出於擔心我們的安全不想我們做、但我們姐妹仍然堅持要做時，他也不會再阻攔。
母親說：「信仰的力量真是大，任你怎麼折磨都不妥協。我真是佩服。」

This time I came home, my parents’ behavior toward me was completely different from last time.
They both had been to the forced labor camp; witnessing the CCP’s persecution and lies made them indignant.
Father had always appreciated people of tough character. My toughness displayed behind bars had won over his unprecedented respect. “Your sister is very tough,” he told my sister in a letter.
Before, he had always talked to me in a bossy tone and had the final say on everything. After I got out of walls, his tone became much nicer and he would ask me at times, “What do you think of this issue? Just say your opinions. I’m listening.”
There were some things he didn’t want us to do out of concern for our safety. But if my sister and I insisted on doing, he would not try to stop us anymore.
Mother said to me, “The power of belief is really mighty. No matter how brutally you tortured me, I just wouldn’t succumb. I really admire that.”
