(Clearwisdom.net) In my past experience of clarifying the truth to people in China, I found that two groups of people were very hard to awaken: teachers and government staff members. Most of these people were educated in schools and universities where they were indoctrinated with the atheism of the modern educational system. When they heard the word "God," they claimed that it was superstition and laughed at and criticized those who used the word as being "stupid and uneducated." A citizen's right of appeal is guaranteed by China's Constitution, but they label practitioners' legal appeals as "getting involved in politics." They insisted that if we persisted in doing something forbidden by the government, then we were against the government and challenging the country's sovereignty: therefore, we were political. The teachers and government staff members were reluctant to let me clarify the truth to them. Some even tried to avoid me.

Recently, I met several teachers from a county education bureau. Surprisingly, they brought up the topic of Falun Gong and actively talked with me. They said that when they visited Hong Kong during the summer vacation, they saw many banners stating, "Falun Dafa is Great," "Falun Dafa is Righteous," "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong," "Bring Jiang to Justice," and more. The banners were hanging everywhere along Hong Kong's streets and alleys. They also watched a big and wonderful Falun Gong parade. I immediately took the opportunity to clarify the truth further. They suddenly understood the whole story of Falun Gong and the persecution.

One time I brought my daughter to have a dinner with them. When they talked about the situation of Falun Gong in Hong Kong, my daughter took out several beautiful "Good Fortune Cards"(1) and put them on the table. Each teacher took one and said, "While we were in Hong Kong, we were afraid and didn't dare take the practitioners' truth-clarification materials, not to mention taking them back home. Now, we are not afraid anymore."

(1) "Good Fortune Cards" contain text introducing the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution. Handing them out is a way to clarify the truth in China.
