New Happenings and New Phenomena
Misled by the TV propaganda, my nephew's classmate destroyed posted Dafa signs. My nephew clarified the truth to him, explaining that good would be rewarded with good, and evil would be met with evil, and that harming Dafa is the same as committing a crime. His classmate felt frightened upon hearing this. Without thinking, my nephew replied, "It will be alright if you pick up one hundred fallen signs and post them back up." From then on when his classmate saw there were truth-clarifying materials on the ground, he would pick them up and post them. So far, he has picked up about sixty. This classmate was not studious in the past, but recently he has received 95% and 97% on his class exams.
The saying goes, "There are spiritual beings three feet above one's head." My husband felt frightened by the persecution, so he often kept me from my cultivation. However, he often felt the Gods' warning and Teacher's tremendous benevolence. At one time, while I was reading truth-clarifying materials, he roared with rage and punched me with his fist. Afterwards his whole body hurt. He felt pain all over and could not eat or sleep. Once he had a toothache for half a month and had a lot of difficulty eating. Although after handing his colleagues the truth-clarifying materials I gave him, his toothache immediately went away. By noontime, he could eat very comfortably.

A Western practitioner who joined the peaceful protest in Tiananmen Square talked about his experience of being beaten and injured by Chinese policemen. After the interviews, the students present at the interview noted down the Dafa web site addresses and expressed that they would definitely read the original Dafa books.
