在舅舅家住了三天後，我和母親一起回到茂名。
從那以後我一直在家陪伴父母，做做家務，看看英語書，學法，煉功。
610頻繁的打電話或上門來騷擾，名曰：我們關心你，瞭解一下你的思想動態。
我們一家被嚴密監視。
母親和我去一位老朋友家玩，我們一走610就登門盤問她：「你和她們母女是什麼關係？她們對你說了什麼？」
我到公用電話亭打個電話給我在廣州的學生，那位學生和她的父母馬上被610盤問和威脅。
我就像被軟禁在家裡，被切斷了與外界的一切聯繫。
父母對此狀況無可奈何。
最後我說服父母允許我突破610的封鎖。
我父母家住四樓，一樓住著看門人，茂名610已命令他監視我。二零零四年八月的一個午夜，確認看門人已關門睡覺後，我快速背上背囊、辭別父母、躡手躡腳步出家門、走進夜色中……
我再一次繞道北上。
這次是去北京見漢密斯．麥當勞(Hamish McDonald)，澳洲最有影響的報紙《悉尼晨鋒報》（Sydney Morning Herald）的駐京記者。
不久前，漢密斯想採訪大陸大法弟子時，澳洲的一位大法弟子將我姐姐介紹給了他。
姐姐和他在悉尼見過兩次面後，將他在中國的手機號碼告訴了我，說他非常有興趣採訪我。
途中我來到一個偏僻的鄉下，藏身在我小時候的保姆家裡。
白天我不出門，夜深人靜時才躡手躡腳走十分鐘路去公共廁所(保姆家沒有廁所)。
鄉下的夜晚漆黑荒涼，我用手電照路。每次走進夜幕都意味著也許回不來：除了無處不在的610和警察，這裡和中國大陸其它地方一樣，犯罪猖獗。
我在鄉下住了兩天，把大法的真相告訴了保姆夫婦和他們倆個讀高中的兒子，同時給漢密斯打了個長途電話。
漢密斯一接到電話就問我：「我們什麼時候能見面？我很期待見到你。」
我告訴他我已在途中，「我也很期待見到您。」

(英文對照)
Mother and I went back to Maoming after staying at my uncle’s for three days.
Thereafter I stayed with my parents, doing housework, reading English literature, reading Dafa books and practicing the exercises.
610 frequently harassed us by calling and coming to my parents’ home, saying they were concerned about me and thus wanted to know I was thinking.
My parents and I were watched closely.
Once, Mother took me to an old coworker’s home for a visit. As soon as we left, 610 came to her home and interrogated her, “What’s the relationship between you and that mother and daughter? What did they tell you?”
Once, I called a student in Guangzhou at a pay phone. The student and her parents were immediately interrogated and threatened by 610.
I was literally like under house arrest, having my connection with the world completely cut off.
My parents didn’t know what to do with this situation.
Eventually I persuaded my parents into letting me break through the 610 blockade.
My parents’ home was on the fourth floor of an apartment building. On the first floor lived a doorman, whom the Maoming 610 had ordered to watch me. At a midnight in August, 2004, upon making sure the doorman had gone to bed, I swiftly carried my backpack, bade my parents goodbye, tiptoed out the building and entered into the dark night…
I detoured northward again.
This time I was going to Beijing to meet Hamish McDonald, a Beijing-based correspondent with the influential Australian newspaper, Sydney Morning Herald.
A while earlier, when Hamish contemplated interviewing a Dafa practitioner based in mainland China, a Dafa practitioner in Australia introduced my sister to him.
Upon meeting him twice in Sydney, my sister gave me his number in China, telling me he was very interested in interviewing me.
On the way northward, I made a stop at a remote, poor countryside, staying at my childhood nanny’s home.
I never went outdoors during the day, and only at late night did I walk for ten minutes to the public toilet (There was no toilet in the nanny’s home).
The countryside nights were pitch dark and eerily quiet. I walked by flashlight. Every trip of going outdoors could mean no return – besides the 610 and police officers everywhere, crimes were as rampant in this countryside as in the other parts of mainland China.
During the two days in the countryside, I told the nanny couple and their two teenage sons the truth of Dafa, meanwhile made a phone call to Hamish.
Hamish asked me as soon as he answered the phone, “When can you come? I’m looking forward to meeting you.”
I told him I was already on the way, “I’m looking forward to meeting you too.”
