(Minghui.org) My wife and I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and held onto our belief when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute practitioners on July 20, 1999. As a result, we have been persecuted multiple times and ended up spending a lot of time in police custody or imprisoned.
We lived in a residential area affiliated with our companies. The residents worked for three different companies under one umbrella company. They included either department-level officials or agency staff; some also were 610 Office agents who participated in the persecution.
As we had been arrested, thrown in forced labor camps and illegally sentenced multiple times, those residents all tried to stay away from us. So it was difficult to tell them about the persecution.
Relatively speaking, personnel that guarded our area, parking lot attendants, delivery drivers, utility and construction workers, and vendors who came to our district were easier to talk to about Dafa. Most of them were willing to quit the CCP after learning the truth.
“I Ran Into a Good Person Today!”
My wife’s company was right by the residential area. She used to be the office manager, but because she upheld her belief in Dafa when the persecution started, she was dismissed from her job. She was a good person who was widely acknowledged at her workplace and got along well with everyone. Her coworkers felt pity for her wrongful dismissal and admired her a lot.
After she was released from prison, personnel from the 610 Office and the police ordered her company to put her under surveillance, so they arranged for her to be a custodian to clean up the outside of the office building. Even though she only got paid a couple hundred yuan, she gladly took it on, as this made it easier to talk to more people.
Her company’s financial situation declined, and they had to lease some of their offices to other companies. As a result, the area became much busier. Whenever people came to get matters dealt with or ask for directions, she’d give them a hand, take them to where they needed to go, and told them about Dafa. Seeing that she was so kind, people usually were open to listening to her and quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
A client from another city came and asked where a business was located. As my wife was taking her there, she asked her, “For us to meet is because of a predestined relationship. Have you heard about quitting the CCP to ensure your safety?” She hadn’t, so my wife began to tell her about the hidden character stone in Guizhou Province, the significance for one to quit the CCP’s organizations to ensure their safety, as well as the history of the Party’s lies and propaganda campaigns to smear Falun Dafa.
This woman agreed to quit the CCP. My wife gave her an amulet and told her that by sincerely reciting the phrase, “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” one would receive blessings from heaven. She was so touched that she pressed her palms together (a sign of gratitude) upon accepting the amulet from my wife.
When they walked to the elevator, the client didn’t want to leave. She said, “I have never heard this before. It’s truly well said! The CCP is so evil! Nowadays, it’s really hard to find someone as nice as you. I ran into a good person today!”
My wife chatted with her some more. Before the woman left, she was still saying “Thank you!” My wife told her to thank Master Li Hongzhi (the founder of Falun Dafa) instead.
While collecting monthly sanitation fees from the residents, my wife went household to household and handed out Dafa materials, including brochures, calendars, and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Most residents in our building learned the truth about Dafa and quit the Party. Every time my wife was released from prison, our neighbors came to visit her. After she was persecuted to death, her company sent employees to our home to pass along their condolences.
Prior to the October 1 holiday one year, my wife finished work and said to me, “There’s a bulletin board full of content praising the Party. Don’t let it poison people’s minds. Let’s send righteous thoughts to clean it up!” We sent righteous thoughts to eliminate demonic elements in other dimensions. There was a heavy downpour that night, and the bad content on the bulletin board was washed away.
Security Guard: “They Are Kind People!”
The security guards at the parking lot were normally retirees, or people from out of town. As the pay was low and living conditions were poor, turnover was high. I talked about Falun Dafa to whomever was there, and all of them quit the CCP’s organizations before they left.
Master arranged for them to come to hear the truth. When my wife was around, she helped almost all of them learn the truth about Dafa, whereas I seldom had any interactions with them. After my wife passed away, however, I took the reins and began reaching out to people.
A new security guard came, and I often went to chat with him. He used to be a judge in the executive division of the city’s court. He was bored after retirement, so he took the position to kill time. I had a good chat with him, as we both were former cadres in the army and shared a lot of things in common. I talked to him about the miraculous changes my wife and I experienced after taking up Falun Dafa. I also told him how our family was subjected to persecution multiple times for upholding our belief.
He was very sympathetic and believed Falun Dafa to be a matter of personal belief, and that the only reason the CCP cracked down on the practice was because of its popularity. The top officials in the CCP were also scared they might be toppled from power. I told him about the crimes the CCP had committed throughout its history and how the immense corruption in the government resulted in society’s sharp moral decline. He was in total agreement and quit the Party.
His wife was a manager at a supermarket, and his daughter taught at a university. I gave him a USB drive with Dafa information on it and told him to watch it at home. When I saw him the next day, he said, “My wife told me that the USB has great content. My wife and my daughter watched it till 3 a.m. I haven’t even had the chance to see it yet.”
I replied, “How about I give you another one with different content, so you can watch the other one while they watch this?” “That’s a great idea!” he replied.
The security guard left, and a new one came. I then told him the truth about Dafa, and he quit the Party. His wife brought him meals, and his friends often came to visit while he was on duty. I talked to them all, gave them amulets, and helped them quit the Party.
This security guard asked to borrow my copy of Zhuan Falun and read it twice. Even though he didn’t want to practice, Dafa truly resonated with him. I told him about how my wife was persecuted to death in prison due to her belief, and he passed along the story to whomever he ran into, to have more people understand just how evil the CCP is.
Whenever it came to holidays or the CCP’s sensitive dates, police and community personnel would monitor my daughter and me. One year, CCP officials came to visit our city. The deputy chief of the police station led a group of people to monitor us at the security station. The security guard knew the deputy chief and said to him, “You don’t go to watch bad people and would rather watch good people. They are kind people. They just practice Falun Dafa to keep fit. What’s wrong with that?”
The deputy chief replied, “We know this! But our superiors told us to do it. We don’t have a choice.”
The most recent security guard was a retired primary school teacher, who already had some understanding of Falun Dafa. She believed in Buddhism and greatly appreciated the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
She had protected the children of detained practitioners at school. Even though she ran into conflicts with the management several times over this, she came away safe and sound. I told her this was due to the blessings she received for treating practitioners’ children kindly. She truly believed it.
Whatever I talked to her about Dafa’s principles, she acknowledged them. Whatever questions she raised, I gave her satisfactory answers every time. I gave her a USB drive and an amulet, which made her very happy. She also quit the Party. After her daughter heard the truth about Dafa, she came to me for a copy of Zhuan Falun. She also quit the Party and its affiliates.
Police officers and people from our community often came to check on me. When they asked the security guards if I had been out, or if anyone came to visit me, etc. The answers the security guards gave were always, “He only went out for grocery shopping, that’s all,” or “Only their relatives came to see them.”
One year, during the Qingming Festival (a time when Chinese people traditionally visit ancestral tombs), my daughter and I went back to my hometown. The community staff came again to ask if we went out. The security guard told them, “No, they didn’t” and added, “If you don’t believe me, go upstairs to check yourself.”
The community staff just replied, “As long as they didn’t go out, that’s fine.” Then they left.
Man Finally Agrees to Quit the Young Pioneers
There were many small shops near the parking lot, and the owners often came out to get a bit of sun and have a chat. Some residents also came to stroll around. I sometimes went there to help people quit the CCP. Most of them were willing to accept the truth and quit the Party. But there were some who didn’t want to listen.
I talked to two people who delivered goods to the shops. One of them agreed to quit the Young Pioneers, but as soon as I mentioned to the other one that heaven would eliminate the CCP, he said, “How can the CCP be eliminated? It’s still good. China is developing now.”
I asked him, “If China is as good as the CCP says, how come top officials and wealthy people all go overseas? Who still believes in the CCP nowadays?
“How big is your house?” I asked. He said he only rented a small place. I then asked him, “Have you ever taken a flight or stayed in a hotel?” He said no. I said, “Right then! In China, these things are enjoyed by the rich and people in power. How can ordinary people enjoy them?” He agreed with what I said, but still didn’t want to quit the Party.
I thought to myself that we’d run into each other again in the future. Even though he didn’t want to quit today, maybe one day he would. So I switched the topic to talk about traditional Chinese culture.
When we met again, he asked me in front of a lot of people if my pension amounted to 10,000 yuan. I answered, “That’s pretty much what I should be entitled to. But because I practice Falun Dafa, I was dismissed from my workplace. Now I don’t receive a penny. What I lost is a human thing, but what matters most to Dafa practitioners is to reach enlightenment and return to our true selves.”
He said, “Right! I truly admire your steadfast faith!”
I didn’t see him for quite a while after that and felt regret for not being able to help him quit the CCP. However, I recently saw him and went to have a chat. He told me that he was on leave to deal with some family matters.
I brought up the topic of quitting the CCP again. I said, “The CCP carried out a lockdown due to the COVID pandemic but only locked down ordinary citizens. It outraged everyone. The CCP will soon collapse. When heaven eliminates the CCP, its members who swore to give their lives to the blood-red flag will be in danger. You need to seriously consider quitting the Party’s organizations that you joined.”
He replied, “I only wore the red scarf before.”
“How about if you quit the Young Pioneers to show your stance to the gods?” I asked. He finally agreed. I was very happy for him.
