大法弟子必要時會設法聚在一起交流。在一次交流中，我認識了北京大法弟子小閻。
一九九九年十二月三十一日夜晚，小閻和一萬多名大法弟子從各個方向自發彙集到天安門廣場, 在廣場上舉行了一個抵制迫害法輪大法的和平集會。
大法弟子們幾乎每個人都準備了或大或小的橫幅， 在廣場上展開——
「法輪大法好！」
「中國需要法輪大法！」
「世界需要真善忍！」……
天安門廣場成了一片壯觀的橫幅的海洋。
大批警察揮舞警棍毒打大法弟子。
大法弟子們一邊承受警察毒打、一邊拚命護住橫幅。
「那天晚上警察打大法弟子都打瘋了。」小閻說。
警察一拳砸向小閻的眼睛，使她的眼睛腫了三個月，一拳砸向她的鼻子，打的她鼻血直流。當小閻被打的快暈過去時，一位女弟子趕過來用自己的身體護住小閻。警察馬上掉轉拳頭打那位女弟子。
小閻被警察關進天安門派出所裡施一種叫「背寶劍」的酷刑。
「疼的當時都想撞牆死了。」小閻說。
警察把小閻的丈夫叫到派出所，讓他看自己妻子忍受酷刑的慘狀，以為他會叫妻子妥協。
結果卻相反。
小閻的丈夫，一位平素膽小怕事的工人，見到妻子受酷刑後大聲譴責警察暴行並鼓勵妻子：「你要堅定！不要妥協！」
他對我說，「我真的被我妻子震撼了，一個女人那麼堅強的忍受男人都受不了的酷刑。」
酷刑也沒法讓小閻妥協，警察只好把她放了。
小閻的丈夫本來是反對妻子去天安門的，從那以後他支持大法弟子上天安門為大法和平請願，並且開始修煉大法。
他對我說：「有一天，我也會去天安門。」
小閻十一歲的兒子、一位小大法弟子對我說：「我也想去天安門。」（待續）

Dafa practitioners would manage to get together to share thoughts when necessary. In one gathering I met Yan, a Beijing fellow practitioner.
On the night of December 31, 1999, Yan, along with over ten thousand Dafa practitioners, spontaneously gathered in Tiananmen Square from all directions. They held a peaceful rally of resisting the persecution against Dafa in the square.
Almost each of the Dafa practitioners had prepared a banner small or big. They unfolded them in the square —
“Falun Dafa is Good!”
“China needs Falun Dafa!”
“The world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance!”…
Tiananmen Square turned into a spectacular ocean of banners.
A large number of policemen fiercely struck at the Dafa practitioners with police batons.
The Dafa practitioners desperately protected their banners while enduring the fierce beating.
“That night, the policemen beat Dafa practitioners extremely frenziedly,” Yan said.
A policeman threw punches on Yan’s eyes, making her eyes swell for three months; he threw another punch on Yan’s nose, making blood surge out of her nose. When Yan was beaten to nearly fainting, a female practitioner rushed up to protect Yan with her body. The policeman immediately turned to beat her.
Yan was taken into the Tiananmen Police Station and was tormented with a torture named “Carrying a sword.”
“The torture made me so painful, for a moment I really felt like striking my head against the wall to kill myself,” Yan said.
The policemen summoned Yan’s husband to the police station, making him look at his wife suffering the torture. They thought he would ask his wife to give in.
Yet things turned out the opposite.
Yan’s husband, a usually timid and cowardly factory worker, loudly condemned the police abuse and encouraged his wife, “Stand firm! Don’t give in!” when he saw the brutal sight.
“I was really shaken and awed by my wife. She was so toughly enduring the torture even men couldn’t endure,” Yan’s husband said to me.
Even tortures couldn’t make Yan give in. Police had to release her.
Before, Yan’s husband opposed his wife going to Tiananmen Square. From then on, he approved of Dafa practitioners going to Tiananmen Square to peacefully petition for Dafa, and he began practicing Dafa too.
He said to me, “Some day, I’ll go to Tiananmen Square too.”
Yan’s eleven-year-old son, a little Dafa practitioner, said to me, “I want to go to Tiananmen Square too.”
