I recently met a Chinese person who had just moved from Guandong Province to the U.S. After hearing that I practice Falun Gong, he told me an encounter he had in China.
He had lived next to the city government building where the "610 Office"* is located, and the head of this office was his friend. One day, they half jokingly talked about Falun Gong and he asked the head of the "610 Office," "I hear many people say that practicing Falun Gong is very good for healing and fitness. Do you believe it? Why don't you give it a try and gain some understandings about it? Let your sick wife practice Falun Gong and read the Dafa books that had been confiscated. If her illness is cured, stop persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, for they all are good people. When they held a hunger strike, you chain them to chairs and feed them unpalatable food. From my point of view, you all are inhumane. What the ruling Party publicizes as being bad is actually good."
The head of the "610 Office" indeed took the books home to his wife. After practicing for a while, her health really improved. From then on, that person no longer persecuted Falun Gong practitioners.
* The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
