Every time those kind faces with anxious, longing eyes appear before me, every time I think about the fact that the evil lies are still deceiving kind people and that the persecution continues, I'm truly aware of my great responsibility. As a Dafa particle, what reason do I have to not strive forward? What reason do I have to not persist in sending forth righteous thoughts? What reason do I have to not seize every opportunity to clarify the truth so people can be saved as soon as possible?
Before the peaceful appeal at Zhongnanhai on April 25, 1999, I was acquainted with a young man. One day this June I ran into him, and he said to me, "Big sister, I know you have been in trouble, and everybody is talking about this too. You were just practicing exercises, why did they have to treat people like that?" I told him how I was being persecuted. He was very shocked, and told me to be very careful and not to let them arrest me again. I gave him some truth-clarification materials. He took the materials and said: "Big sister, I will never betray you!"
When my schoolteacher cousin learned of my experience of being persecuted, she said indignantly: "It's Falun Gong every day. They don't spend their time to check on corrupt government officials at all. People are furious about this!" Another cousin said: "Now Falun Gong is being framed for everything. Before there was Falun Gong, there were people who committed suicide, there were people who were insane. Now if an insane person kills somebody, Falun Gong is framed for what happens. The way I see it, sooner or later, Falun Gong's name will be cleared. People now actually respect and admire your Teacher greatly." Another cousin continued: "My sister in-law (a doctor) said that practicing Falun Gong could heal illness, so I want to practice too."
A relative said: "Big sister, the bottom line is just this one thing: too many people practice Falun Gong, including more than a few high-ranking officials."
When I saw some of my old colleagues, they all said: "We saw sister Chen yesterday. She really regretted not having listened to you, and just focused on making more money instead of practicing Falun Gong. Now she has had a stroke." "You used to suffer from duodenal ulcer pain so much that you could not straighten your back. Look how healthy you are now!" I told them that to practice Falun Gong, one must first cultivate one's xinxing [mind-heart nature, moral character] and become a good person. They all wanted to practice.
While delivering truth-clarification materials to a friend who is an officer, I took the opportunity to tell her: "We are now very short of materials. Dafa practitioners try their best to save every penny to make truth-clarification materials. After you finish reading these materials, please pass them on to someone else or put them in a newspaper box. Don't waste these." When I was leaving, she handed me 50 Yuan [note: 500 Yuan is the average monthly salary of an urban worker] and insisted on my using the money to make truth-clarification materials.
After I was arrested and detained for going to Beijing to appeal, I had the opportunity to get to know several kind policemen. One policeman said: "I believe in Falun Gong, but I'm a member of the Party, and I dare not say that Falun Gong is good." Another policeman said: "Big sister, do you have many books? Give me a copy." A young policeman said: "My mother-in-law is a Buddhist, and I would really like to introduce you to her."
A policeman who used to watch me closely saw me on the street: "Big sister, we had you under surveillance because I was ordered to watch you. Actually we simply don't care about what you do inside your house. Now it would be great if you guys could bring this issue before an international court."
