一九九九年七月二十日下午三點，正放暑假的我在父母家和父母一起收看中央電視台的特別節目：
播音員正以冷酷的語調宣讀中央取締法輪功的命令。
我感覺像晴天霹靂。
當晚，我如常參加當地大法弟子的集體學法時，當地大法輔導站的站長來告訴我們：員警已開始在全國對大法弟子大抓捕、抄家、燒書。
（法輪大法的站長和輔導員是一些熱心的老弟子，自願承擔大法的工作，比如：每天早晨拿錄音機到煉功點，教新學員煉功和解答他們的問題。）
我趕緊回家把父母家裏的大法書藏起來，一邊藏一邊怕員警突然闖進來。
那時我不知道，一場中國歷史上對信仰最殘酷的迫害，已經拉開序幕。（待續）

At 3:00p.m., July 20, 1999, I was watching a special program on CCTV with my parents (I was spending my summer vacation in my parents’ home then).
An announcer was announcing the Central Government’s order of banning Falun Gong in a glacial and cruel tone.
It was like a bolt out of the blue to me.
On that night, while I took part in the local Dafa practitioners’ group reading as usual, the volunteer director of the local Dafa instruction center came to tell us: Police across the country had started massive arresting of Dafa practitioners, searching Dafa practitioners’ homes, and burning Dafa books.
(The directors and assistants in Falun Dafa were those warm-hearted veteran practitioners who volunteered to assume some responsibilities in Falun Dafa, such as bringing tape-recorders to the practice sites every morning for playing the exercise music, teaching new practitioners the exercises and answering their questions.)
I hurried back home to hide up the Dafa books at my parents’. While hiding I was afraid that police would burst in any moment.
I didn’t know then: The prelude to the most brutal persecution against freedom of belief in Chinese history had started.
