(Clearwisdom.net) Several staff members at a middle school in Guangdong have known the truth of Falun Gong since July 1999 and have not participated in the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of practitioners. Even when they were under intense pressure from the CCP, they didn't lose their conscience and never threatened or tried to force Falun Gong practitioners at the school to give up their belief.

One practitioner in the school had been arrested several times from 1999 to 2000. After she was released and returned to her workplace, she realized that all her Falun Gong books were left untouched in her apartment. She was told that the school principal dealt with the CCP authorities regarding her situation. The principal also helped her several times by signaling her to transfer all of her Dafa materials to a safe place. The assistant principal and the director of the school have also supported her. Their kind actions have been rewarded—the principal was promoted to the Director of the Teaching Office; the assistant principal became the principal; and the director was promoted to assistant principal.

The practitioner clarified the truth to several students in June 2006. She then received a phone call from the former assistant principal who is now the principal of the school. He invited her to go out to eat in August. She was surprised by the sudden invitation, but thought that it must have something to do with Dafa. So she went to meet the principal at the restaurant. At the beginning, they only chatted about everyday things. Eventually, the principal told her, “I don't have much to tell you at this time. You have given materials to students. S and some of the parents, who do not know the truth, reported you to the town leadership. He asked me to tell you that you should be more careful in the future.” She understood that the official was responsible for the students' education. He was initially concerned about her when she returned to her job. He later changed his attitude after she clarified the truth to him in some letters she wrote. With one more person's righteous support, she felt happy. She thanked the principal and asked him to thank the town official for her. Later, that official was also promoted.

The school got a new principal in September 2007, so the practitioner met with him to tell him about Falun Gong and the persecution. However, the new principal became unhappy and told her that he would follow the CCP's “requirements” regarding Falun Gong practitioners. Still, she didn't give up and continued to find opportunities to clarify the truth to him, including writing letters and giving him truth-clarification VCDs. At work, she demonstrated the demeanor of a practitioner, which then changed his attitude toward Falun Gong. He told her that if everyone followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and was self-disciplined as she was, he wouldn't have to make rules for others. After he came to know the truth of Falun Gong, he didn't give in to pressure from the upper authorities during the 2008 Olympics or interfere with practitioners.
