(Minghui.org) Today's Chinese people are focused solely on money, which makes it difficult to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa. I would like to share two stories that illustrate this.
Practitioners Care That People Are Safe
It was a hot morning when I met up with a middle-aged woman on her way home from working in the fields. When I offered her a flyer with information on Falun Dafa, she refused to take it and said it was worthless.
That told me that she had misconceptions developed over years of listening to the lies broadcast by the Chinese regime's controlled media.
I said, “So you think I don’t work, that I just wander all over the place talking to people?” She nodded in agreement.
“I not only have children at home to take care of but also elderly family,” I told her. “I have to work hard in my family's fields first, before I come to your village. It isn’t easy for me to get away, and I am losing income every moment I’m gone.”
I then told her that Jiang Zemin, China's former dictator, and his minions had fabricated the information put out by the communist regime-owned media, including television, radio, and newspapers. They deliberately lied to slander Falun Dafa. “Many people,” I told her “believe their lies and are hostile towards this cultivation practice.
“To counter the misinformation and with only good intentions, although at the risk of arrest, practitioners distribute information about the persecution, so everyone can learn the truth.”
To make sure that she understood my good intentions, I told her that practitioners want everyone to have a good future and do not want them to be implicated when the Party is no longer in power and is taken to task for its criminal activities.
I continued, “My teacher, Mr. Li Hongzhi, told us to put others’ needs before our own. That’s why we visit every village and tell them the facts about the persecution. Nowadays many people do not even care about their families, much less total strangers. Yet, despite the persecution, practitioners are concerned about your safety and future. Isn't that a good thing? I don't know when I can visit your village again. There are not many opportunities for you to learn the truth about Dafa.”
Several elderly women sitting in the shade nearby had listened in on the conversation and said that I made a lot of sense, and that the woman I was talking to should take the flyer. Finally she smiled and took it.
Wishing People a Bright Future
Walking through a village on another hot summer day, my clothes were soaked with perspiration. I had still one flyer left, when I saw a young woman sitting outside her home.
She asked what I was doing, and I told her that I was distributing Falun Dafa flyers. She shouted, “Falun Dafa? Go away! I don't want it.”
“It's hot today,” I said, “but I do not mind coming out in the heat to distribute flyers. I am not expecting anything from you, not even a glass of water. I am doing this because my teacher told us to think of others first.
“Being obligated to the CCP will only bring you a bad future. That is why we practitioners distribute these materials, so that people can learn the truth. I only want you and your family to be safe and to have a good future.”
Just as I was about to leave, she said in a soft clear voice, “Please leave one for me.”
