俩位我在北京认识的大法弟子，小琳和琴姐，来到广州。
二十七岁的小琳是家庭主妇。迫害开始后她到天安门广场炼功，结果被警察抓和施酷刑。出来不久她又去天安门炼功，结果又被抓和施酷刑。出来后她又去天安门……
她的商人丈夫大为震惊，“我真不明白法轮功怎么能把你这么柔弱的小女人变的这么勇敢，为了维护法轮功愿意舍弃这么舒适的生活，把命都豁出去了！我得读读《转法轮》！”
后来他读了《转法轮》，理解了妻子，也开始修炼大法并且到天安门广场打出“法轮大法好！”的横幅。
四十出头的琴姐是一位大学老师。一九九九年十二月三十一日晚，万名大法弟子在天安门广场举行和平集会时，琴姐也参加了。
她用数码相机拍下了许多大法弟子在集会上打横幅的很壮观的照片，结果被警察发现、抓进天安门派出所。
在派出所一间小屋里，警察连续毒打了她四个小时，要她供出谁给她的相机（那相机是一位海外弟子给她的）。
琴姐的全身被打肿、打变形，被抬出施刑室时连认识她多年的同修们都认不出她了，但琴姐始终没有向警察说出谁给她的相机。
一被关进看守所，琴姐就和关在里面的三百多位大法弟子一起绝食，抵制迫害。
看守所所长震惊的对大法弟子们说：“我一定要看看《转法轮》！我要弄明白为什么你们这些人为了法轮功坐牢也不怕，跟吃了蜜似的！”
小琳和琴姐到广州后马不停蹄的和广州大法弟子交流她们抵制邪恶迫害、向民众讲真相的经验。
交流地点有时在弟子家里、有时在餐厅里。参加的弟子全部用公用电话联络。因为警察的严密监控，大家有好几次差点被抓。
小琳和琴姐刚走，又有几位东北和北京的大法弟子南下到广州交流。
从拘留所出来后，我经常参加这些北方－南方大法弟子间的交流。
师父的家乡在中国大陆的东北，师父的传法也是从东北和北京开始。迫害一开始，那里就有众多的大法弟子走出来维护大法。随着他们不断南下与广东的大法弟子交流，越来越多的广东大法弟子也勇敢的走出来维护大法。（待续）

Two fellow practitioners I had met in Beijing, Lin and Qin, came down to Guangzhou.
Twenty-seven-year-old Lin was a housewife. When the persecution began, she practiced Falun Gong in Tiananmen Square, and thus was arrested and tortured by the police. Upon release she practiced in Tiananmen Square again, and thus was arrested and tortured again. Upon release she went to Tiananmen Square again…
Her wealthy businessman husband was greatly shaken, “I really don’t understand how Falun Gong could make such a slight woman like you become so brave, willing to give up such a comfortable life and risk your life safeguarding Falun Gong! I’ve got to read Zhuan Falun!”
Later he read Zhuan Falun, came to understand his wife, began practicing Dafa too and held up a banner — “Falun Dafa is Good!” — in Tiananmen Square.
Qin was a college teacher in her forties. When over ten thousand Dafa practitioners held a peaceful rally in Tiananmen Square on the night of December 31, 1999, she participated in it too.
With a professional digital camera, Qin took many photos of the splendid scenes of Dafa practitioners holding up banners in the rally. Police detected her and took her to the Tiananmen Police Station.
In a small room in the police station, a policeman brutally beat her for four hours on end, forcing her to reveal who gave her the camera ( An overseas fellow practitioner gave it to her).
The beating made Qin’s entire body swell so severely even the fellow practitioners who had known her for years couldn’t recognize her when she was carried out of the torture room. Nevertheless Qin didn’t tell the police who gave her the camera.
As soon as she was put in jail, Qin started a hunger strike along with the three hundred Dafa practitioners detained there for resisting the persecution.
The shaken warden said to the Dafa practitioners, “I will definitely read Zhuan Falun! I’ve got to find out why you guys aren’t even scared of imprisonment for Falun Gong, as though you were eating honey!”
Upon arriving in Guangzhou, Lin and Qin unceasingly met with Guangzhou fellow practitioners, sharing their experiences of resisting the evil persecution and clarifying the truth to mainland Chinese.
The gatherings sometimes were held in practitioners’ homes and sometimes in restaurants. All of the practitioners attending the gatherings use public phones to contact each other. Due to the severe police watch, there were a few times we were within an inch of being arrested.
Soon after Lin and Qin left, several Northeastern and Beijing Dafa practitioners came down to Guangzhou to share their experiences too.
After getting out of the detention center I often attended this Northern-and–Southern fellow practitioners’ gatherings.
Master Li’s hometown was in the Northeast of mainland China, and Master Li’s spreading Dafa also started from the Northeast and Beijing; as soon as the persecution began, numerous Dafa practitioners there stepped forward to safeguard Dafa. As those Dafa practitioners kept coming down to the South to share their thoughts and experiences with the Dafa practitioners in Guangdong Province, more and more Guangdong Dafa practitioners stepped forward to safeguard Dafa bravely as well.
