(Minghui.org) When I worked in the education field, I saw how the people in charge reacted when they saw me being persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa. They made the correct choice at critical times, even though Jiang Zemin’s regime was trying to make them follow directives.
I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa in 2000, and was arrested and sentenced to one year of forced labor. I asked the school principal for my job back after I was released in 2002. He agreed to reinstate me, and asked other teachers to give up a class so I could teach it. When payday arrived however, I was told that my salary had been withheld by the education bureau because of my forced labor sentence.
My sister-in-law and I went to the financial department of the city education bureau to appeal this ruling. The manager seemed to believe the lies publicized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He rudely said to me in front of others that the salaries of all practitioners who went to Beijing to appeal would not be paid.
I rejected his statement completely, knowing that it is Master who decides everything. Master had arranged my job for me, and no one could ruin my financial wherewithal.
As soon as I had that thought, some people spoke up. One person said to the manager, “How could you disqualify them just because they went to appeal?” Another said, “He was just joking with you.” People turned and looked at me. Hearing what the people said, the manager changed his position immediately and agreed to pay me.
I didn’t know any of the people who helped me, but later learned that they were managers in the city education bureau.
The CCP fabricated a story about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident and added it to the textbooks for elementary, middle school, and high schools, to incite hatred of Dafa. It was difficult for teachers who cultivate in Dafa to survive in such an environment. They are under enormous pressure because of the CCP culture, and have to deal with the misunderstandings of students and parents.
I told the students the true story of Lei Feng on Learn From Lei Feng day in March 2017. A few students reported me to the head teacher, school leaders, and city leaders. The school principal asked the school managers to evaluate me and to get prepared for pressure from above.
The principal told me that the school board members were pleased with my performance, but in order to avoid trouble, they wanted me to work in the office and stop teaching while the CCP was holding its conference. I agreed to do so, and resumed teaching when the new semester started.
Some parents wrote to the head teacher soon after the school year started this year. They were concerned that a Falun Dafa practitioner was teaching classes.
He told them that I taught classes diligently, was very nice to the students, and advised them not to listen to rumors or be concerned.
The head teacher talked to the class director about the parents' concern. The director went to the class and talked with the students. The students agreed that I was a very good teacher and wanted me to continue teaching them.
These incidents may appear ordinary, but if I wasn't able to correct my speech and conduct so they were in line with Dafa, or without Dafa’s power or Master’s wisdom and benevolence, I could not have survived any of these events. The leaders, who were indoctrinated and brainwashed by the Party culture and had long been forced to do political studies, were able to support Dafa practitioners, which showed that they were still clear headed, and the persecution of Dafa was a complete failure.
Those who help practitioners when they are being persecuted will be blessed.
As a particle in Dafa, I will work diligently and try to save each and every savable sentient being. As Master said in a poem, when we return to heaven, it will be like:
“Returning with full bounty, they’re received by all Gods” (“Stirred by Reflection,” Hong Yin IV, Blue team translation)
