(Clearwisdom.net) There is director of a town 610 Office in Hebei Province who also does administrative work for Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He had several encounters with Falun Gong practitioners in his town after he was transferred there. On two occasions, the county level department of the Domestic Security Division and the county 610 Office wanted the town 610 Office to assist in arresting Falun Gong practitioners. Members from the county level and he went to a Falun Gong practitioner's home. They arrested the practitioner and locked him up in the county jail. This was his first opportunity to meet a practitioner in person and discover the truth behind the persecution.
This practitioner clarified the facts about Falun Gong, told him that practitioners are good people who live according to the principle of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, and how the practice is very effective in improving one's health, which is beneficial to society. After hearing this, he said, "I believe you, but this job is my only means of livelihood and I don't have any other alternatives."
Other practitioners sought him out after hearing that this practitioner had been arrested and further explained to him the facts about Falun Gong and the CCP's persecution. They warned him that if he persecutes people for believing in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance then he will likely suffer great misfortune. They gave him concrete examples of the principle that good is rewarded and evil is punished by heaven. He saw their sincerity and genuine concern for his wellbeing. They also explained to him how he could protect Falun Gong practitioners while in his position. When higher authorities ordered him to “transform” the practitioner that had been arrested, he didn't do it and instead he filled out a report form, handed it in and completed his job perfunctorily.
Once a veteran official, who didn't understand the truth about Falun Gong, said at a CCP meeting that practitioners were handing out fliers and CDs, and they should instigate an investigation. This director glanced sideways at the speaker and the speaker immediately stopped talking. Then the officials asked the director to carry out the investigation. Afterwards he warned the practitioners, "Don't hand anything out. Someone has reported on you." The practitioners shared with him further about the persecution and on the importance of doing the right thing despite the CCP's intimidation. He shared his innermost thoughts, "I know the CCP better than you. I know it's 'lies and evil struggles.' What you are saying is true. I will request to change my job. Everyone knows that the CCP is not good. Falun Gong practitioners tell people to withdraw from the CCP and affiliated organizations in order to protect people's safety. Please give my family and I pseudonyms to withdraw from the CCP."
Falun Gong practitioners later gave him copies of Zhuan Falun, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, pamphlets on Falun Gong and the persecution, and videos. He said, "I really want to read and watch them. After I'm transferred, I will learn Falun Dafa!"
