(Minghui.org) When one reaches one’s 40s, one’s life is almost completely filled with working and taking care of one’s family. For Yanling, a Falun Dafa practitioner, there is one more thing she values and perseveres in doing despite time being tight, and that is calling Chinese people. She hopes that Chinese people can have access to factual information and stop being the victims of the Chinese Communist regime’s propaganda.
Since the Epoch Times published a series of editorials Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in 2004 a great tide of Chinese people, both in China and overseas, have chosen to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Yanling became a volunteer to advise Chinese people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She and other practitioners, in China or overseas, have touched numerous Chinese people’s hearts over the phone, and that has assembled to a force of kindness and has moved and encouraged more people. As the publication of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is approaches its 19th anniversary, more than 420 million Chinese people have chosen to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Hope for Better for the Chinese People
Yanling works as a nanny. With her husband’s support and help, she has been squeezing time from her busy schedule to call her Internet friends in China who she has never met in person. “They are deceived by the lies fabricated by the Chinese Communist regime’s propaganda. Somebody must go tell them the facts and let them know. I feel I have such a responsibility and mission,” she said. Yanling’s very first thought was to share her personal experiences of practicing Falun Dafa for more than 20 years with Chinese people. “The CCP doesn’t only persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. Chinese people are also victims. I hope for better for the Chinese people,” she said. The strength from her faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the thought of hoping for better circumstances for the Chinese people has driven Yanling to overcome difficulties to pick up the phone again and again to tell people the facts about Falun Dafa.
Yanling began to practice Falun Dafa when she was 21 after a relative recommended it to her. Practitioners are taught to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Through Falun Dafa’s teachings, Yanling no longer thinks only about herself during conflicts. Rather she asks herself to consider others first, to care less about her own gains and losses, and to be a better person. When the CCP persecutes such a good practice, she cannot sit by and ignore it.
So she learned various methods to share information about Falun Dafa with Chinese people and people in her nearby areas. After the publication of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, she became a volunteer to advise Chinese people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She uses social media to send information to her Internet friends, and then calls them and advises them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Chinese people who were deceived by the regime’s propaganda have often initially misunderstood her, hung up on her, and even cursed at her, and that discouraged her a little. But when she successfully helped her Internet friends who had been deceived and had misunderstood Falun Dafa to see the facts about Falun Dafa and even begin to pass the information to others, she felt encouraged to persevere in her efforts.
The Truth Emerges When the Fog Is Cleared Away
An interaction with an Internet friend in his late twenties left the deepest impression on Yanling. She talked to him for nearly three hours and answered his many questions. She advised him to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. She told him that he had made a deadly promise to devote his life to the CCP when he joined the CCP’s organizations; that the CCP had committed all kinds of unpardonable deeds; and that he would have to fall with the CCP when the CCP falls because of the deadly promise he made. He agreed to quit to rescind that promise.
Yanling continued to tell him the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and the information she gave him totally contradicted what he had learned from the regime’s propaganda. He was so puzzled. He constantly asked questions. He searched information from the regime’s propaganda and sent it to Yanling. He raised doubts, such as why the CCP persecuted Falun Dafa, the staged the Tiananmen immolation, the peaceful April 25 appeal that was portrayed by the CCP media as an “attack” on the Zhongnanhai compound, and other misconceptions. Yanling told him what really happened and sent him overseas reports to remove his doubts.
Talking to him just once didn’t remove all his doubts, so she called him again. The next day he called her back and asked more questions. Yanling even invited other practitioners during group Fa study to share with this young man how they had benefited from practicing Falun Dafa. The purpose was to give a clear explanation to address his doubts, to help him see through the CCP’s evilness, and to see the facts.
Yanling makes one call after another. Every call is an opportunity to clear the fog for Chinese people. One of her Internet friends said that his impression of Falun Dafa came from the CCP’s propaganda, and he said, “you are nothing like what the CCP portrays.” While interacting with Yanling, he got to know what Falun Dafa truly is. Yanling felt happy for people when they learned the facts and stopped being deceived by the lies. That is one of the things that motivates her to persevere in calling Chinese people.
Inspiring Kindness and Awakening Hope
Every person who understands the facts is a piece of the force that disintegrates the CCP. The force can gather more quickly if everyone proactively spreads the facts. However, Yanling has found that many people hold negative thoughts toward their family or friends who do not accept the facts. They regard them as hopeless and feel that they could not do anything about it.
Yanling encouraged people like this not to give up hope and make their thoughts positive, to send out kind thoughts beginning from themselves to help others. She formed a group and called for her Internet friends to join in. She encouraged them to send kind thoughts in the form of making wishes. Her Internet friends encouraged themselves in the group, sent good wishes to their family members and friends, wished good for the country, the nation, and even for all of humankind. Yanling found that group members were changing while sending out kind thoughts, and that also touched others.
One group member shared with the group that Yanling had taught him how to treat others with kindness. This young man was disgusted by the Little Pink (Note: Little Pink is a term used to describe young jingoistic Chinese nationalists on the Internet.) As soon as he saw a Little Pink on the Internet, he would fight evil with evil. Yanling advised him to “keep good thoughts and a kind heart. Leave them a chance and do not push them to the opposite side.” He listened. Yanling encouraged him to take advantage of his leisure time to often recite “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good,” as that would greatly help calm his body and mind. He took a picture of a notebook page filled with these two sentences that he had written neatly, as a way to thank Yanling.
Assembling the Power of Kindness
Yanling noticed that her group members not only sent out kind thoughts in her group, but also went to other groups to do the same. Some Internet friends began to learn Falun Dafa, learned to recite “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good,” started to help their family members to understand the importance of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations and help them quit. Yanling felt happy. “The power of kindness has spread,” she said.
Yanling’s Internet friends see her devoting her time and energy to spread the facts about Falun Dafa every day with diligence, unselfishly. One friend sent her a monetary gift. Another friend intended to gift her a cell phone and a phone number. Yanling declined. Despite that, a friend still tried his best to express that he “also wanted to make a contribution,” and hoped she would accept “his kind heart and kind thoughts.”
Kind thoughts came back to Yanling just like boomerang, and these thoughts became bigger and stronger.
