(Clearwisdom.net) At around nine in the morning on July 22, 2010, I had just finished selling vegetables at the market and was on my way home. As I walked into the village, I saw the villagers talking to each other in a group. When they saw me, they stared at me with a surprised look on their face, so I sensed that something was wrong. When I had almost arrived home, friends and relatives told me to stay away from my house and to go and hide somewhere. They said that policemen and local cadres were coming to arrest me again.
Hearing this, I was not as nervous as I once would have been and was not thinking about how to protect myself. I was quite calm and thought, "All those beings who have come here are waiting to learn the facts about Falun Gong. They are lives waiting to be saved." So I told my friends and relatives, "I have not done anything against the law. I'm a good person, and there is no reason for me to hide. I live in this house, so I should go home and not cause trouble for anyone else. Furthermore, if I hide, how are people going to view Falun Gong? Thank you for your kind advice, but I should not run away from the situation."
I opened the front door, stepped into the courtyard, and saw two policemen whom I had previously met. I clarified the truth to them again and told them, "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will soon disintegrate. You should quit the party and its affiliated organizations as soon as possible and choose a new beginning for yourself and your family." They replied, "We don't have anything against you and know that Falun Gong practitioners are trustworthy and good people. But we have to make a living and follow the orders of our leader. Please do not hate us."
At this point, the police and village cadres that had been searching for me elsewhere arrived. The director and the head of the village said that I was a stubborn "cult follower," and that I should be taken to the brainwashing center. So I said to them, "Can you show any proof that Falun Gong is a cult? It is illegal to slander Falun Gong without any evidence. You are the leaders of your organizations and should know the law better." They were speechless after hearing what I said. Then a district director said that the National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Central Government had ruled that Falun Gong is a cult. So, I asked him if he had any legal proof of that, and he said that it was not necessary for him to show me the evidence.
I said to him sternly, "Falun Gong is a legitimate practice in China. Chinese citizens are free and have the right to choose their beliefs. And no one can act above the law, use his power to supersede the law, or forcibly take away people's rights. Falun Gong teaches people to be good, and enables practitioners to raise their moral character and improve their physical and mental health. These are indisputable facts. In an area or organization where there are Falun Gong practitioners, the environment there, under practitioners' upright influence, will usually improve and move toward a positive direction. Such an upright practice should be commended by the government. However, Jiang Zemin and his followers flexed their power, dictated the military, the armed force,s the police, and every level of government agencies and officials, and used tremendous financial resources and all kinds of propaganda machinery to carry out the most inhumane and bloody persecution of Falun Gong. Thousands of practitioners have died as a result of the brutal torture. Hundreds of thousands have been sent to forced labor camps and prisons. Countless have been taken to brainwashing centers to be tortured and forced to write guarantee statements. Families have been torn apart and innocent children have become orphans. Government employees, laborers, teachers, military personnel, cadres have lost their jobs, and students have been expelled from the schools. These people are hard working and law-abiding citizens. The heinous acts are against the heavenly law and will eventually bring disaster to the nation and its people. Jiang Zemin and the CCP are using low level cadres such as yourselves to commit a crime. All those who have participated in this persecution shall bear legal liability and responsibility. I urge you to stop persecuting practitioners because I care about your future and the people in this village."
One of them said that I was an anti-party and anti-society reactionary and that I should thank the CCP and the government for being able to live in such a nice house. He added that the military, the police, and the banks belong to the party, and the party leads the nation and the people, so therefore everyone must follow what the party dictates.
I asked him who came first, the people or the nation? He said that the people came first, then the nation. Then I continued, "Since people existed first and later they formed a nation, then everything should be for the people and ruled by the people, not by the party. So things should not belong to the party. During 5,000 years of Chinese history, all sorts of inventions, developments, and creation came from the wisdom, labor, reverence for heaven and earth, and upholding virtuous values by the people from different eras. None of that belong to any dynasty, emperor, or religion. The CCP has only been in China for less than one hundred years. Although it rules people within the organization, it cannot rule the heart of the Chinese people who do not believe in it. Isn't the CCP a cult? Those who came here today are CCP members, and your motivations and behavior are no different from gangsters and thieves. You claim that you are following orders and policies from higher authorities, but your words and actions are forcing people against their will and depriving them of their beliefs and rights. Aren't you doing things against the law?"
I continued to talk about how I benefited from the practice and the wonders Falun Gong has brought us. I also mentioned facts regarding the self-immolation incident, the appeal on April 25, and the persecution that began on July 20. I told them that practitioners have been risking their lives and using their savings to make truth clarification materials such as DVDs and fliers for the precious Chinese people. At the end I said, "The reason Jiang Zemin and the CCP recklessly carried out the persecution and censored all the news channels was because they were afraid that more people would discover their heinous acts. They used the persecution as an excuse to suppress Falun Gong practitioners and have thus committed a serious crime. Jiang and his group of people, the CCP, and everyone who participated in persecuting practitioners won't be able to escape from the judicial, legal, and moral accountability."
I spoke for nearly three hours. With the help of Master, I was able to talk in depth about the facts on Falun Gong and expose how the CCP has been persecuting Dafa practitioners and my family.
There were several local practitioners that came to my place to send forth righteous thoughts, clarify the truth, and expose the persecution to the government officials, policemen, and villagers who were outside of my house. The energy field was very pure and upright, and I had no selfish thoughts. I only wanted to tell these people the truth and save them. Because I earnestly thought of them, I was assimilating to Dafa. My acts were completely benevolent; thus, the energy was very strong. I was able to restrain those who wanted to take me to the brainwashing center by saying "do not move." Very soon, the clouds cleared up and the sun came out, and people who were present changed their minds. They called their superiors and said, "This guy is very righteous. There is no need to send him to the brainwashing center. The brainwashing center would cease to function if we sent him there." The village cadres also began to speak up for us and even told their superiors that their job would be meaningless if they could not protect good people.
Under Master's benevolent protection, the arrest plan arranged by the old forces was disintegrated by the righteous thoughts and acts of practitioners. As long as our thoughts are righteous and are about saving sentient beings instead of protecting ourselves, then things will move in the proper direction. Compassion can dissolve all resentment. Master said,
"True thoughts dissolve all, The whole sky is clear." (Stirred By Reflection)
These Fa principles have manifested in the righteous thoughts and acts of practitioners.
