(Minghui.org) After I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, all my illnesses were cured. I had a joyful expression, no matter whom I talked to, and I could easily find a common topic to talk with people and tell them about Dafa.
I go out every morning to talk to people. In the afternoon, I study the Fa. After doing this for more than 10 years, I have walked through almost all the streets of the city. I would like to share how I persuaded officials from the political and legal system withdraw their memberships in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Former Police Department Head
When I worked, I had a business contact with a woman who once invited me for a meal at her home. I met her husband, who was the head of the police department. After the movement of people quitting the CCP began, I helped the woman renounce her CCP membership. However, I never saw her husband again.
At the beginning of this year, I visited the woman and brought her gifts. I said to her, “I want to persuade your husband to renounce his membership in the CCP today.” She motioned, “Go ahead and talk with him.”
I told her husband, who was now retired from the police department, “As of today, 370 million people have withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. You should also quit the CCP to ensure your safety.” He said: “Well, I have retired.” I said: “Then you should ensure your safety even more so!”
I told him how I had benefited both physically and mentally from practicing Dafa. I also talked about my experiences of being persecuted, explained that the Tiananmen Self-immolation incident was staged, and told him the reasons people should quit the CCP. I saw that he paid attention and understood what I said, so I suggested a pseudonym he could use to quit the CCP. He agreed and said, “Late last year, a new person was appointed as deputy head of the police department. His job is to persecute Falun Dafa. You must pay attention to your safety!”
Former Deputy Attorney General of a District Procuratorate
One morning, I went out and saw a man in his 70s sitting on a chair outside a supermarket. I asked him, “Are you resting here or waiting for someone?” He said, “My daughter went in to buy groceries. I am waiting for her.” I said, “I am going to tell you something very important. Has anyone told you about ensuring your future safety by quitting the CCP?” He replied, “No. I usually don't talk with strangers.”
I knew then that he was destined to hear about Dafa. I told him I used to have late-stage cancer and that my intestines were rotting, but I was now fully healed. He asked, “How did you make it through?” I told him I practiced Falun Dafa.
I then explained how Jiang Zemin, former head of the CCP, started the persecution of Falun Gong, how I was jailed five times for my faith, and why it was important for him to quit the CCP. He listened to everything I said and didn't say anything negative. He agreed to quit the CCP and took out pen and paper to submit his real name.
He told me that he had retired from the procuratorate. I said, “Were you an official?” He said that he used to be the deputy attorney general. Just then, his daughter came out from the store. I wanted to talk with her, but she quickly left with her father.
Head of the State Security Division
In 2012, a fellow practitioner and I went to the countryside to tell people about Falun Gong. While there, someone reported me. I was arrested and detained in a forced labor camp for a year. After returning home, I wanted to get my phone back from the police and also clarify the facts and persuade people to quit the CCP.
I then went to the office of the state security division. The captain and deputy captain were quietly sitting together. When I saw them, I knew this was an opportunity to talk to them about Falun Gong. I started with how Jiang Zemin ordered the persecution and talked about my personal experiences of being persecuted, including how I was abused at the forced labor camp. I said I was forced to dig up ginger in the field on a scorching day. How could an old person like me do that? I fainted and fell to the ground. The two of them listened without saying a word.
After a while, the captain said, “You are a good person. I have gone to your workplace several times. The director of your factory said you were near death but recovered after practicing Dafa. He praised you and said you were diligent and responsible at work. While doing marketing and procuring supplies on construction projects, you did the work of ten men. In short, you were excellent! He repeatedly asked us not to trouble you.”
I said: “Since you knew I was a good person, why did you arrest me several times? It almost killed me.” He said, “I had no choice. That was my job. Jiang Zemin wanted to persecute Falun Dafa. What could I do? My family has to eat!”
“You should not persecute Dafa,” I said. You don't know the consequences of doing that. It is a heavenly law that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. The persecution has lasted for so many years. Falun Dafa has been wronged. Do you know how many people who worked for the 610 Office, police, procuratorate, courts, and judicial departments have already received karmic retribution?
“When the persecution against Falun Dafa ends, whoever participated in it will be a scapegoat. How will you make out in the future?” I asked.
He said, “I am about to retire, and I won't do it anymore. I can't help anyone now.”
I told him, “From now on, if someone reports Falun Dafa practitioners, you can turn a blind eye and quickly release the practitioner.”
He said, “I don't think it can be done like that.”
We talked for over an hour. During that time, the deputy captain finished work and left. Only the the captain and I were there. When I went downstairs, I said, “You should hurry and take a stand to quit the CCP.” He said he would as long as I didn't tell anyone.
The next morning, the captain and I had breakfast at the restaurant below my home, and he paid for my meal. A few days later, he and his wife came for breakfast again. I paid the bill and said, “I am a Dafa disciple. You paid for my breakfast last time, so I will pay for yours this time. This is how it should be!”
His wife was about to leave for work. I knew she worked for the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and hurriedly followed her out of the restaurant. I talked about Falun Dafa while we were walking. By the time we arrived at the bus stop, she had agreed to quit the CCP.
For more than a year before the captain retired, he never made trouble for Dafa disciples.
Head of a Detention Center
In 2016, a practitioner and I went to a detention center to deposit money for the practitioners who were held there. While I was making the payment, I saw a man of about 50 watching us. He said, “I am in charge of the detention center. Who do you want to give the money to?” I told him to give the money to the detained Falun Dafa practitioners. “They don’t even have money to buy toilet paper. You should not persecute them, they are all good people,” I said.
“One of the female practitioners has been held for two or three years. She is in very bad health,” I said. I told him her name, and he said, “She often skips meals. I have asked her to eat. She will be fine.” I mentioned I was detained there twice and that the food was terrible. I pleaded with him to get her some good food and that he would be rewarded for it with good fortune.
“You are really a good person. You gave her money, which is great. I will do what you say,” he said.
I explained that we are fellow practitioners who listen to Master Li, our teacher, and that we try to be good to everyone.
“The CCP and Jiang Zemin persecute our people, and they will suffer karmic retribution. You are a good person. I will help you withdraw from the CCP to keep you safe, okay?” He readily agreed.
Two years later, the female practitioner was released after serving her term. She told me, “This director really listened to you. He cared about my well-being. He is a good person!”
Looking back on my experience of clarifying the truth and persuading people to quit the CCP for more than 10 years, I can't help tearing up. They are tears of gratitude to Master Li and Dafa. It was Master who gave me a healthy body, taught me to cultivate my heart to be compassionate, made me realize the true meaning of life, and led me on the bright path of saving sentient beings.
I just did what I was supposed to do, and Master let udumbara flowers blossom in my home. I know that this was his encouraging me.
Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa! In the future, no matter how long or short my life is, I will go out to tell people about Falun Dafa and save them with dignity.
