(Minghui.org) I was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because I practice Falun Dafa. When I was released from the forced labor camp, my wife told me that my brother had suggested that she divorce me. I did not resent my brother for this; instead, I decided to treat him with the compassion I cultivated from assimilating to the Fa.
I saw my brother the next day when I went to visit my mother at my sister’s home. He said, “So, Falun Dafa practitioners also care about their families!?” I knew he was misled by the evil CCP’s lies. I told him how wonderful Dafa is. He then came to my home a few days later and gave me 500 yuan.
My brother was in charge of production at his workplace. His attitude continued to change after observing my behavior. He offered me a job whenever there was a contract awarded at his site. I acted according to the Fa’s standard of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. His employer later asked me to do remodeling and home maintenance in the community. The owners were all pleased with my work and so was my brother.
A contractor hosted a dinner, and my brother took me along. The contractor poured wine for me while my brother exclaimed, “He is a Falun Dafa practitioner who does not drink alcohol. But if you have a job to do, please ask him.” My brother changed from being against my cultivation practice to being supportive.
My brother later became a project manager. I never bothered him and would not accept any gifts from him. He and his wife became very trusting of me, and they both approved of Dafa.
I remodeled three houses for my brother. My sister-in-law did not even look at the receipts I gave her. I thought: It was not me whom she trusted; rather, it was Falun Dafa. I later took my mother from my sister’s home and cared for her. She also approved of Dafa. She passed away at the age of 93. My siblings were all touched by what I did.
I talked to my brother about quitting the CCP when The Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in 2004. I also told him about the ancient rock in Guizhou Province, and how it split open to reveal Chinese characters that read, “The Chinese Communist Party Falls.” Many scientists have studied the characters and determined that they formed naturally. I then asked him to quit the CCP so he will not become a scapegoat and perish with it. He finally understood the truth and agreed to quit. It took me four years!
My brother and I went back to our hometown to attend the wedding of a cousin’s child. Another cousin invited us to his home. I clarified the facts about Dafa to him and urged him to quit the CCP.
He is a high school principal and said there were practitioners working at his school. So he was somewhat familiar with Falun Dafa. I told him that the CCP has done too many evil things, and he would perish along with it if he remained a member. I brought up the rock in Guizhou, but my cousin did not believe it. However, my brother was there at the time, and said he went on a tour of Guizhou and witnessed the characters himself. My cousin said, “Okay, I will quit the CCP.” I was not sure if my brother ever went to Guizhou.
I met many people while doing the remodeling. There were contractors who delivered the sand, cement, and boards. I always paid them a little extra. They felt I was very nice; they said everyone else short-changed them and wanted to know why I payed them more? I said I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner, and our Master tells us we must treat others with kindness, be a good person, and help other people. I took the opportunity to tell them the facts about Dafa and urged them to quit the CCP. They all accepted what I said, and most quit the CCP or its affiliates.
Some homeowners asked me to take them to buy materials when I did their remodeling. The stores sometimes offered me a commission, but I never took it. We once bought over ten thousand yuan worth of bricks. The seller offered me a commission, but I rejected it. She was surprised, and said she had never seen a person refuse a commission. She looked at me curiously. I explained we Falun Dafa practitioners do not take what we should not take.
I also helped people buy furniture a few times. The vendor wanted to give me money afterwards, which was thousands of yuan. I declined. The vendor was very touched and from then on, he told people that Falun Dafa is good. So did the store clerks. These vendors believed me when I told them the truth about Dafa, and they agreed to quit the CCP organizations.
Most of the homeowners I did remodeling for quit the CCP and its affiliates. I used quality materials and skilled workers. My clients often remodeled houses for their newlyweds to move into. Many of them invited me to the weddings. Some owners were government officials. So I tried to clarify the facts about Dafa to them as well. One manager of an auditing department did not believe it when I told him that the CCP will be collapsing. I then showed him a video of the characters on the rock in Guizhou. He believed me and quit the CCP.
I have gone through many ups and downs in my over 20 years of cultivation. Thanks to Master’s protection, I have smoothly continued on my path until today. I will be more diligent, and walk well the path that Master has arranged for me.
