(Minghui.org) At our family dinner for the Moon Festival (the second most important holiday in China), my brother said to me, “Now I really understand—it is not you, Falun Gong practitioners, fighting against the communist party; it is Jiang Zemin and his followers persecuting you. And now, many high ranking officials involved in the persecution have fallen.”
Surprised but happy, I asked him how he came to this understanding.
One day my brother found several Falun Gong booklets on the floor of his building. He picked them up and thought they would give him something to peruse during his free time.
To his surprise, he could not put them down once he started to read them. He finished all of them in a few days and then read them again, word by word. After reading them twice, he thought it would be great if he could find more information about Falun Gong. A few days later, like magic, he saw a few more booklets in his building.
It went on like this. Every time he finished the booklets he had found, new ones would appear. He spent all his off hours reading the Falun Gong booklets. The more he read, the better he liked them and the more he wanted to read them. He also shared the booklets with his friends and coworkers.
My brother was not like this before. He was a soldier and adored the heads of the communist party. A few years ago, I visited him in the hospital after he'd had an operation. I explained to him what Falun Gong really is and asked him to quit the Party. He agreed to. I also asked him to repeat, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Since our conversation went so well, I didn't talk to my brother much about the persecution that has been taking place in China since 1999. Nevertheless, he was blessed. At work, a barrel of flammable chemicals exploded right next to him. The explosion terrified everybody, and they all thought he had been killed. However, he only had a slight fracture in one of his thumbs.
I know that it was Falun Dafa that saved my brother, because he had quit the Party and sincerely repeated “Falun Dafa is good.” But he did not understand this. I told him my thoughts and tried to tell him more about Falun Gong. He smiled but didn't agree with me. Nor did he believe me.
But now my brother really understands what Falun Gong is, and I am truly happy for him. I hope that more people will, like my brother, gain a correct understanding of Falun Gong and be blessed.
