(Minghui.org) During these past years of clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, I have observed that more and more people are coming to understand the situation. They can now discern right from wrong and are brave enough to speak out for Falun Gong.
The number of people who have the courage to speak up for Falun Gong has grown. Now there are even more who are willing to speak out in front of large audiences.
I went shopping one day. I had already talked to the supermarket owner about Falun Gong and helped him withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
I was paying for my groceries using a truth-clarification bill when a lady in her 30s, who was behind me in line, noticed it. She was very surprised. “Is this a bill printed with words about Falun Gong?” she asked.
I replied, “Yes. And you know what? These merchants want to use bills with words about Falun Gong—they believe that by doing so will bring them safety, happiness, and good business.”
She told me it was her first time seeing a bill like that. “Falun Gong is a belief,” she said. “Isn't what they do for exercising the body and keeping fit? Just for this, former President Jiang Zemin ordered the suppression of them, had them arrested, and threw them into jail or detention. As a result, their families have been ruined.”
She kept talking, as if she didn't want to stop. “It's hard to be a good person these days,” she added. “Jiang was leading people to be corrupt. As a result, the rich and the poor are in great disparity. Ordinary citizens are very poor, whereas officials are very corrupt and rich. They pocketed large amounts of money through improper means and then transferred it overseas to hide it.
“Plus, the cost of one meal for a corrupt official is enough to cover an ordinary person's food for an entire year. Those Falun Gong members are all good people. What should they be afraid of?”
Many people had surrounded her to listen. Some people were smiling and nodding their heads in agreement.
I was very moved and thought that she must have been a practitioner to take an opportunity like this to speak out like this. I then asked her where she was from. She said, “I came from Changchun City in Jilin province.” I said, “You are from my Teacher's hometown! You know so much about Falun Gong. Are you a practitioner as well?”
She replied that she was not, but that she knew people who were. She saw how Falun Gong had helped improve their lives and she also read materials about Falun Gong.
“When many practitioners were arrested in our area, I went to the police station to demand their release,” she said.
I told her she we would surely be blessed for her noble support for Falun Gong.
I had to go shopping one day, and I wondered about the people I would speak to about withdrawing from the CCP.
As I walked into the supermarket, I saw two men. They left while I was shopping, and I felt a bit regretful that I didn't have a chance to talk to them.
One of the two young men, however, came back a while later. He stopped in front of me and asked,“Aunty, is there a bank nearby?” I told him, “Keep going, and you'll actually see three banks ahead of you.” He thanked me and took off.
I thought Teacher had brought this predestined person over to me, so I shouldn't miss the precious opportunity. I quickly shouted after him: “Young man, please come back. I have something to tell you.”
He turned around and asked what I needed. “Today we are able to meet each other because of our predestined relationship,” I said. “So I'll give you something truly great—this is software for breaking through the Internet blockade. You can go online to see information and news from all over the world by using it. I also want to give you a DVD.”
He gladly took it and asked me if it was about Falun Gong. When I said it was, he became excited. “I just came back from Singapore,” he said. “I also went to Hong Kong, and I saw Falun Gong information all over the place. They also had display boards for people, and some practitioners were doing the exercises.”
“You know that it’s only in China are we not allowed to practice,” I said. “And it’s because the former Chinese leader was very jealous of how popular Falun Gong was becoming. He wanted to eliminate it, so he launched the persecution of his own will.”
“I am not a member of the CCP anymore,” he said. “The CCP took away my membership. I hate the Party. Can it be eliminated? Will it happen?”
“It will happen soon enough,” I replied. “However, your quitting the Party is the only thing that matters. Please, in your heart, in front of gods and Buddha, sincerely think, ‘I withdraw my membership in the CCP.’”
He looked relieved when hearing this. He smiled and said,“Finally I will have nothing more to do with it.” He thanked me.
I said, “Please, thank my Teacher instead.”
