(Minghui.org) My wife's sister practices Falun Dafa. She clarified the truth about this cultivation practice to my son and me. I understood what she told us and believed the facts about Dafa. I decided to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), while my son was too poisoned by the Party and refused to accept the truth.
Thus, the outcome of a major power generation plant accident took the life of my son, while I escaped through a seemingly insignificant occurrence.
The Incident
A major accident happened on November 24, 2016, at the Cooling Tower of the Fengcheng Power Generation Plant in Jiangxi Province. A part of the concrete collapsed, taking the life of all 74 workers. I witnessed the incident, and this scene keeps running through my mind to this day.
I worked at the construction site of the cooling tower and was heading toward the site with another construction worker. While walking there, I thought I needed some screws from the warehouse and turned around, while my co-workers kept heading toward the tower.
After I arrived at the tower, I entered the elevator, pressed the button, and waited for the elevator to come down. After a couple of minutes, I saw the first module on the cooling tower falling down. Then the workers on the tower, module, cement, steel, and triangle frame all began to fall down.
I ran toward the safety zone. But after a few steps, I stopped because debris was still coming down. I quickly backed up, squatted down, and covered my head with both hands. The debris continued to fall for more than one minute. The safety zone was completely destroyed.
But I was not hurt, and only my clothes were covered with dust. I stood up and walked around the tower to look for survivors. I was able to dig out some bodies, with the last one being my son. Our village lost 10 young people.
After my son's funeral, my sister-in-law told me that because I had withdrawn from the Party and because I believed that “Falun Dafa is good,” I escaped. I truly believe more so now in the power of Dafa.
Two years ago, when my sister first told me about the importance of Dafa, I believed her fully. She also told me that if I recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” I could escape danger. I had no doubt in what she said.
Because my son was indoctrinated by the Party, however, he was deeply poisoned, and he had turned into an atheist. Thus, the power of Dafa could not be displayed for him.
Given this experience, I feel that one’s life is not guaranteed, as calamities can happen at any moment. However, my experience has proven true what Falun Dafa practitioners know—the power of Dafa displays itself for those that truly believe in its goodness.
