People with Righteous Thoughts

- With their minds poisoned by the government media, office co-workers in a
certain place were slandering Falun Gong. A fellow practitioner's son
overheard them and said, "My elderly mother practices Falun Gong. It
seems to me that after she started practicing, she became not only
physically healthier, but also spiritually happier and more
optimistic."
- Although a fellow practitioner's husband is not practicing, he once read
some Falun Gong books and knows that Falun Gong is good. Once, policemen
came to his home and asked him to brainwash his wife. He refused. At dinner,
with many people together, whenever people started chatting about "Tiananmen
self-immolation," he would say, "That is deceiving people. I saw
in person the crackdown on the students on 'June 4th' [massacre
in Tiananmen Square in 1989 against pro-democracy advocates]. But the
next day's news report was totally different from what really
happened." Having heard this, everyone realized that what he said was
true and that one couldn't blindly believe the government media. He once was
in a taxi when the driver started asking him about a news report detailing
an alleged case of "murder by a Falun Gong practitioner." He
replied, "Killing is absolutely prohibited in Falun Gong. Nowadays,
science and technology are very advanced. It is pretty easy to deceive
people by cutting and pasting pictures in editing a film."
- After getting a truth-clarifying VCD, a fellow practitioner immediately
presented it to his daughter and son. After watching it, the children
suddenly realized what was really happening. They repeatedly said, "How
could the persons in power have done this kind of thing?"
- During summer vacation, I went to my aunt's home as a guest. She had
talked about the TV program, "Tiananmen self-immolation" and some
other events. Before I began to clarify the truth to her, her husband took
up the topic of conversation and said, "They go on and on everyday. Why
don't they ever allow Falun Gong practitioners to say anything? If it were
really not good, let us read through some Falun Gong books carefully and do
some research on them. Why did they burn those books?"
