(Minghui.org) The number of tourists from China visiting Macau increases considerably during the Lunar New Year holidays. Local practitioners took advantage of this opportunity to clarify the facts about Falun Gong and promote quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.

They do so because the persecution is covered up in China, and the country is blanketed in false propaganda demonizing Falun Gong. Practitioners encourage Chinese people to quit the CCP as a way of supporting Falun Gong, believing that doing so will help bring these people a brighter future when the truth is ultimately revealed and those responsible for the persecution are brought to justice.

Chinese tourists read information on Falun Gong

On February 9, 2013, one day before the Chinese New Year, a police officer walked up and asked a practitioner, “Are you going to take a break tomorrow?” The practitioner replied that even more practitioners would come the next day. The police officer said emotionally, “You are truly working from the first day to the last in a year.”

One afternoon, a middle-aged Northern Chinese man came to talk with a practitioner, giving them the "thumbs up" and saying “You are great. Falun Gong is being persecuted in China and no one mentions it now. You have kept doing this here for more than ten years.”

The practitioner replied, “The persecution has not ended yet. Hundreds of thousands of practitioners are still imprisoned. Other practitioners are still being arrested. The CCP uses the worst means to persecute Falun Gong. To cover up the persecution, the CCP doesn't dare to mention it.” The man said, “Oh. That’s why it is seldom mentioned. Keep up the good work. Falun Gong will prevail.” The practitioner advised him to quit the CCP. He said he had never joined any CCP organization. The practitioner then told him to remember “Falun Dafa is good.” He said, “Yes, Falun Dafa is good!” He left after saying thanks.

More and more Chinese people are becoming aware of the facts, and more Macau practitioners have joined the effort to promote withdrawing from the CCP to visitors to local tourist sites. During the first five days of the Chinese New Year, more than 1500 Chinese people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations at the site. Some entire families quit together, some using their own names, others using pseudonyms, fearing persecution back home in China if they were to give their real names. The practitioners were delighted for everyone who quit.
