Seizing Summer Evenings to Reach More People with the Facts

Aug. 14, 2016 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Mainland China

(Minghui.org) People usually stay indoors during hot and humid summer afternoons but, when the sun sets, many step out for a stroll, to exercise, or to talk with their neighbors.

This provides us with a good opportunity to explain the facts to them.

Since the end of May, another practitioner and myself leave our homes at around 6:40 p.m. and head toward places where people are enjoying the evening breeze.

The effect of clarifying the truth to them is generally good as people are in a pleasant mood and will take the time to listen to us.

Other than taking care of our ordinary chores during the day, the other practitioner and I study the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts. We go out in the evening for about three hours.

We distribute about 40 truth-clarification materials every evening and persuade as many as 20 or as few as six people to quit the CCP.

We explain the facts rationally and use different topics for different people. For villagers, we can be upfront and talk about the CCP’s corruption and evil followed by the goodness of Dafa. They are usually quick to understand the situation without any skepticism.

For those with a higher social status, we use words from the Communist Manifesto: “In 1848, a specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism.”

We explain what a specter is. Isn't a specter a demon? We tell them that the CCP said that one will see Marx after one dies. Marx is a German so we ask them if they are disowning their ancestors if they go by Marx.

Generally, people agree with our viewpoint and accept it. After that, it is much easier to tell them about Dafa.

In the process of explaining the facts, we discovered that many people have already understood Dafa and did the three withdrawals as it has been many years since Dafa disciples started to clarify the truth.

One person said, “You are too late. We quit the CCP many years ago.” Others give us a thumbs up and some thank us.

Another time, a young man said that he quit the CCP by breaking through the firewall. He encouraged us to pay attention to our safety when raising awareness.

One day we saw an old man and a middle-aged man talking and we went over. We told them that Falun Gong practitioners are suing Jiang Zemin. The old man seemed to know more than us. He told the middle-aged man that Dafa is good, etc. The old man also helped us when we persuaded the middle-aged man to do the three withdrawals.

We once encountered a very moving situation. We met a poor village woman and gave truth-clarification materials to her. She suddenly stuffed ten yuan into my hands and said that other practitioners have given her materials many times and she couldn't take them for free.

We refused to accept her money and she almost cried. I told her that we are Dafa disciples and will not accept money for telling people about this persecution. We thanked her for her kindness and she left with tears in her eyes.

The day before, we went to a construction site and the workers had just knocked off from work. When they realized that we were carrying the truth-clarification materials, they shouted loudly “Falun Gong!” and rushed up to us.

They snatched everything from our hands. We told them to cherish these materials and pass them to other construction workers after they had finished reading them.

When we gave materials to the security guard at the construction site, he asked us anxiously if we had any DVDs. It seemed that he understood what Dafa was about.

When we told him and the construction workers that Jiang was being sued by practitioners, they said, “We are waiting for Jiang to be brought to justice!”

The security guard gave more details to the workers about what he knew about Dafa.

There are times when a person did the three withdrawals, then told us which friends were CCP members and asked us to help them quit.

Some villagers who have understood the facts said, “No police are needed if everyone behaves like Falun Gong practitioners.”

Some warm-hearted villagers brought out stools so we could sit and talk with them a little longer.

It is very comforting to see that many sentient beings have come to understand the facts. However, there are still those who are waiting for us to save them. Whenever we see their eager eyes, we can feel the huge responsibilities that we shoulder.

The overall situation is getting better as the current government tackles corruption. The many natural disasters happening in China are a good way to clarify the truth as many are concerned about this.

We suggest that fellow practitioners who have the time, should seize the opportunity to clarify the truth to people in the evenings from July to September.
