(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa last year with my father when I was only seven-years-old. I followed the requirements of Falun Dafa and tried to be a good little practitioner.
A boy at school beat me up last year. He was from another class and much shorter than I. He first punched me in the face. It hurt a lot, but I did not cry. He continued to hit me all over.
I was strong and tall and could have beat him up. I chose to not fight back or swear at him because I was following the Falun Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He did not stop until the teacher came and yelled at him. He started to hit me again after the teacher left. He beat me for another 20 minutes, but I tolerated it and did not tell the teacher.
I knew that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was really bad. I have burned the CCP red scarf, and whenever the school raised the blood-red flag, I thought that it was nothing but an old rag. When everyone raised their hands and sang the CCP song, I held my hands behind me and sang "Falun Dafa is good.”
Some students liked a role-playing game. There were four roles, including – chairman, officer, CCP member and poor person. They wanted me to play along, but I said no. When one of the students asked me why I did not want to play, I told him the CCP was bad and harmed people.
My classmate said, “You insulted the CCP, I am going to tell the teacher on you.”
In China it is allowed for teachers to beat their students. He told the teacher, but the teacher did not beat me. Again he told the teacher what I said, but still the teacher did not beat me.
I had a math exam last April, and one math problem was difficult. This question was for students in the third grade, and all the students in my class had a hard time. I thought it was hard at first too, but I figured it out in two minutes and received a high score.
During a language exam, one question stumped me because I was not good with pinyin (Chinese phonetic). I thought of giving up after thinking about it for a while. There was a big question mark in my head. Then an answer appeared where the question mark was. I wrote it down on my test paper and ended up doing well, 99 points on my exam.
Before I began to practice Falun Dafa with my father, I was actually a rather naughty child. My dad and teachers all thought so. Through the practice, I have become a good student and a well-behaved child.
