被真理喚醒的心(74)

Souls Awakened

槎頭女子勞教所每天的食物,早餐是發黃的劣質面,午餐和晚餐是劣質米飯加水煮白蘿蔔、水煮豆子等,每週有一餐供應幾顆肉粒。

有一次勞教所曾發生大規模食物中毒,我因為看見飯菜顏色不對沒吃而躲過了。

剛進勞教所時我忍不住會想念外面那些美食,但很快意識到這種心態會削弱我的意志,我必須盡快清除它,否則無法在牢獄中堅持下去。

於是我利用一切機會多背《轉法輪》。

隨著背法,我對食物的慾望自然的變的越來越淡,而意志變的越來越堅強。

很快,我不再以勞教所的食物條件為苦,還經常把一週一次那份肉讓給別的被關押人員吃。

(英文對照)

In the Chatou Women’s Labor Camp, breakfast was yellowish, bad-quality noodles; lunch and dinner were bad quality rice going with bad-quality, boiled parsnips, or boiled peas…; there was one meal in a week that had a few tiny slices of pork.

Once a massive food poisoning occurred in the labor camp. I felt sick at the food’s nauseous color and didn’t eat it, thus dodging the poisoning.

When I was just put in the labor camp, I couldn’t help thinking of the delicacies on the outside. But I soon realized that this mentality would weaken my willpower, and that I must eliminate it as quickly as possible or I wouldn’t be able to hold on behind bars.

Thus I recited Zhuan Falun in my heart as much as possible.

With the reciting, my desire for food naturally became less and less, and my willpower became stronger and stronger.

Before long, I no longer took the food condition of the labor camp as hard, and I often gave away my portion of pork once a week to other detainees.
