An Unforgettable Autumn

[PureInsight.org] A year has
passed and it's autumn again. The chilly wind pushes the fallen leaves
gliding on the ground and rustles the tree branches. There is no change
in the scene from last year. Perhaps the world has never changed, even
no matter how many lifetimes and reincarnations have taken place and
how many joys and sorrows it has witnessed. What has changed is people.
What is the biggest pain in the world? For me, it is the last look my
mom gave to me. That look will stay in my mind forever. I will never
forget the moment from a year ago.



It was dawn when, as if cut by a knife, the rope suddenly broke. With a
clear cracking noise, mom raised her head and looked at me right before
she fell. Her look was full of love, without any fear or desperation.
It was as if she was trying to comfort me. I wanted to shout, but I
couldn't. The police officers were downstairs. I was suffocated and
found as if everything became still. There was this silence, but my
heartbeat was so loud that my head could hardly take it. I stood by the
window, with one end of the empty rope in my hand. Then I suddenly
realized something. "Mom!" I shouted in my heart and rushed down the
stairway. Tears blurred my vision, more and more, the staircase started
shaking in front of me and I could hardly see anything. At that moment,
the stairway seemed endless.



When I finally came to mom, she was lying still on the ground. Seeing
blood seeping underneath her, I was extremely anxious and did not know
what to do except hold my hands in front of my chest tightly. Suddenly
I heard someone roaring, "How dare you to do heshi (pressing the hands
together)! You brat! I'll kill this Falun Gong!" I felt a heavy stroke
on the back of my head, then I saw several people heavily kicking my
stomach and abdomen, slapping my face, and beating my back with
electric batons. I knew they were the police officers who were trying
to seize my mom. My nose and mouth started to bleed right away. I tried
my best to stay close to mom to protect her. I could not watch them
torturing her more. But I could not do it.



Earlier that day, the evil persons were after my mom. She tore the
sheets, twisted them into ropes, tied them together and tested its
strength. Then she tied the rope around herself, stroked my head and
told me peacefully, "Mom has to go. Remember, your mom did not do
anything wrong. Practicing Falun Gong is not wrong.
'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' are not wrong. Mom will never
give in to them (the persecutors). Live your life responsibly. Remember
my words: conduct yourself following
'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' Become a Falun Dafa disciple in
the future! I will come to see you soon." Unexpectedly, that was the
farewell forever.



Mom, if your soul can hear me, I want to tell you, you are the greatest person in my heart!
