(Minghui.org) Under the arrangement of Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa), I have worked with several other Dafa practitioners to produce truth-clarification materials. Sometimes, I join fellow practitioners to go to the countryside to distribute the materials and talk to people face-to-face about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I have persisted in these activities and put in as much effort as possible. I haven’t slowed down, even during the waves of the “zero-out” campaign (when the authorities tried to force all Dafa practitioners on their blacklist to renounce Falun Dafa), and during the lockdown periods, when just talking to people could get one arrested. Over these past years, I’ve felt like I was running 100-meter sprints.
Distributing Truth-clarification and Other Materials on a Large Scale
Our jurisdiction covers a large area, with a population of over 900,000 (according to data published a few years ago). To cover every corner of our district, we needed to distribute the materials on a large scale. However, we had only a limited number of practitioners in our area, and only a small number of them could step forward to help. Figuring out how to distribute the materials throughout our area weighed heavily on me.
More than 30 Udumbara flowers bloomed on the wire of my outdoor clothes-drying rack in the fall of 2018, and I knew Master was encouraging me. I also had a dream one night that four of us practitioners planned to participate in a Fa-validation project. In the dream, I told the other two that I needed to wait for another practitioner – Nezha. Upon hearing my words, they flew away to fulfill their missions. After I woke up and thought about the dream, I believed that Master was giving me a hint. I decided to start doing the project even though I did not yet know who Nezha was.
I said to a practitioner who I often did things with, “You have a bicycle. How about I buy a bicycle and we go to the surrounding villages to distribute the materials?” But she could not go, and I understood that practitioners each have their own difficulties. I thought, “I have Master and the Fa; I am not alone.” I made the materials and started distributing them by myself. I distributed them inside buildings when it rained and distributed them to the villages when it was sunny. All the while, I felt Master’s protection and encouragement.
I kept doing this for two months. Then a practitioner with a motorcycle came to our area. When we met, he expressed a desire to save people by distributing the materials on a larger scale. Since then, we have been distributing the materials together.
The first time I sat on the passenger seat of his motorcycle, I said, “Riding on Hot Wheels (referring to a Chinese story, in which the main character is a boy named “Nezha”), we assist Master to save lives.” He smiled and told me that the phrase he often used was, “Riding on Hot Wheels, we are on an invincible path between heaven and earth.”
I suddenly realized that this practitioner is the “Nezha” that our compassionate Master arranged to come help us validate the Fa and save lives in this area. This particular practitioner also had the wish to distribute the materials on a large scale to save lives. Knowing that it was the path arranged by Master, I cherished the cooperation with this practitioner even more. I was determined to walk this path well and righteously, to cultivate by looking within and improving my xinxing, and to help each other overcome difficulties.
We started distributing the materials to the countryside in June 2019. The pandemic started soon after, so we made new materials to include information about the pandemic. We were determined to distribute the materials to as many places as possible.
With Master’s guidance and protection, we maintained righteous thoughts and cooperated selflessly, and we distributed the materials to wherever there were people. The magical Hot Wheels motorcycle carried two practitioners and tens of thousands of copies of the materials. We traversed mountains and ridges, traveled over country roads, and reached thousands of homes and households.
The heavy weight that was on my mind for years had finally been lifted, and I felt like “the boat has passed through ten thousand mountains.” I really appreciated other practitioners’ selfless cooperation and hard work.
Saving Lives During the Pandemic
After the pandemic broke out, the Minghui website published various materials in 2020 that we could use to clarify the truth, which explained why the pandemic happened and how to stay safe during the pandemic. While distributing the materials and talking to people, I felt that people were truly more receptive to our materials and the truth we told them. They were more willing to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. Many of them sincerely thanked me for offering them the information, and I would tell them, “Our compassionate Master asked us to tell people about Falun Dafa and about what is really happening in order to save lives. Please thank our Master!”
When I talked to a taxi driver one day, I said, “The CCP has controlled the country and done a lot of evil things. Heaven is eliminating the Party. You are a part of it if you joined the CCP or its youth organizations, and you should quit these organizations to ensure a safe future for yourself.” I also told him to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I wished his family safety during this plague. The driver happily agreed. “You are right,” he said. “The CCP is very bad.” He quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers using his real name, and he said twice, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” The woman sitting in the front passenger seat heard our conversation and also quit the CCP using her real name.
A few days later, the government announced the communities where people were infected with the virus, and started locking down communities and villages, and blocking streets. I noticed that a nearby village was not closed at that time, so four of us practitioners went there and distributed nearly 300 copies of the materials about the pandemic. The next day, the village was closed. We were grateful to Master for giving us the opportunity to offer salvation to the lives in that village.
Several practitioners discussed how we could cooperate better to save more lives. The practitioner who drove us to the village shared his concerns about our safety; he worried that other villages, like his home village, would have security people at the entrance to check the resident QR code of everyone entering the village. I said, “Let’s bring a smaller amount of materials and explore that route first.” My suggestion reduced the pressure he felt.
The next day, a practitioner and I brought 200 copies of the materials, and the driver practitioner drove us to outlying villages. We went to four villages and distributed the materials house by house. When we encountered villagers, we would greet them and tell them that we were giving them information on how to stay safe in this massive plague. People would happily accept our materials and say the information was timely. They sincerely thanked us, and many of them quit the CCP. We asked them to relay the information to their families and friends, so they could also be safe through the plague. One villager readily agreed, “Sure!” He held up the materials and shouted twice on the street, “Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!”
In another village, I saw several people standing together. I approached them and handed them the materials while telling them, “I hope you all stay safe through the plague. This information tells you how to stay safe.” Every one of them accepted our materials, and one of them was so happy that he cheered and quit the CCP.
There were also times when things did not go smoothly. For example, on our way home one day, we stopped at a village to hand out materials. A plainclothes police officer arrested me, while the other practitioners got away safely. I was not afraid, and I loudly explained to the gathering villagers about Falun Dafa, the pandemic, and how to stay safe. I was then taken to the village police station, where I continued talking to the police about Falun Dafa, the pandemic, and how to stay safe. I refused to cooperate with them during their interrogation. They wanted to detain me for 10 days, but could not do so due to the pandemic.
Cultivating Myself while Saving Lives
Over the past few years I sometimes complained to fellow practitioners about being too busy to handle the workload of saving lives. I wished that fellow practitioners would step forward to help. However, no one stepped forward, even though some practitioners were not busy, which was hard for me to accept. Then, I immediately realized that my mindset was incorrect; I was validating myself. I humbly corrected myself and continued my effort to save lives.
When I was facing interference from the police and conflicts with other practitioners at the same time, I could be stressed out, but I would usually encourage myself with Master’s teaching, “Those disciples who have stepped forward to validate the Fa in the face of pressure are magnificent.” (“Towards Consummation” in The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)
I would let go of my self interest and look within for the reasons for the conflicts and interference. I would do my best to overcome the difficulties and keep moving forward to follow Master’s Fa-rectification process. In the process, I haven’t slowed down my effort to save lives, regardless of the conflicts and interference.
