(Minghui.org) I’m an elderly woman who lives alone. Over the past 20 years, I’ve made it over many hurdles on my cultivation path. Given Master’s protection, I’ve come through relatively smoothly. I have persisted in clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa to people face to face, and persuaded them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations, wishing them a better future.
I moved during the pandemic. The house I rent has two units sharing the same entrance. Each unit is less than 40 square meters. Two units are separated by a wooden door that is not soundproof. Luckily, each unit has its own kitchen and toilet. I live in one of the units at the back. My neighbor is a young couple with a son who was in the second grade of elementary school at the time. They live in this area so that their child can attend a good school. The child’s grandparents from both sides take turns looking after the child for two or three months, picking him up and dropping him off at school.
I met the boy’s maternal grandmother the first day I moved in. After greeting each other, the grandmother began complaining about her grandson’s poor academic performance and his resistance to being tutored. Her daughter and son-in-law worked until late; and her grandson didn’t finish his homework until after 10 p.m.. The grandmother also complained that she had health issues, the house was small, and she couldn’t rest well at night. It was hard for her to bear. Her husband had a heart condition, so he couldn’t do much. She then left to pick up her grandson from school. That day, the child had a problem with his homework. The grandmother came knocking on my door, asking if I could help. I readily agreed. I believed I had a predestination relationship with this family. As soon as the child came into my room, he was happy to tell me about all the details of his family. He even told me that his maternal and paternal grandparents did not get along. We had a good chat.
I looked at his homework and helped him. He quickly finished the exercises on Chinese character writing, vocabulary, and sentence building. He also needed to compose an essay describing someone. He didn’t know what to write. After a while, he tilted his head, looked at me, and asked me innocently, “Grandma [a respectful way to address an older woman in China, even if not a relative], can I write about you?” “Of course you can!” I replied with a smile. Then, I asked him how his teacher taught him to describe someone, so I could understand their requirements. I gave him some ideas, then he began to write. He started with, “We have a new neighbor. She is a grandma.” Then he looked at me and continued writing, following the requirements. Soon, he finished all the assignments for the day. He ran happily to his grandmother and shouted, “I’ve finished my homework! I’ve finished my homework!” His grandmother happily approached me and said in surprise, “He has never finished his homework before his mother gets home from work. Every day he has to work until after 10 p.m.. My daughter is so fortunate to have such good neighbors.”
The child’s mother came to my house in the evening to thank me. I took this opportunity to tell her the truth about Dafa, and she agreed to quit the CCP organizations – the Young Pioneers and the Communist Youth League – that she’d joined as a young person. She informed me that she and her husband worked in a military-industrial factory. They often had to study the regulations for secrecy and take exams. The factory was very isolated, and they weren’t usually exposed to this kind of information. Today, she talked with me face to face and heard so many truths about Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, which completely solved many of her doubts about Falun Gong. We chatted for a long time that night, and she did not leave until her son fell asleep in her arms. I thanked Master sincerely for arranging such an excellent opportunity. I decided to help the whole family learn the facts about Falun Dafa.
Shortly afterward, I persuaded the boy’s grandmother and grandfather to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. The grandmother watched one lecture of Master’s teaching in Guangzhou with me. She said, “There was a Falun Gong practitioner in the big market where I used to do business. The police often arrested her. We thought that she was a bad person. After hearing what you said, I now understand. You are trying to save people! It turns out we were deceived by the CCP.” This kindhearted old couple was saved.
Two months later, the child’s paternal grandparents came to care for the child. The child’s paternal grandmother was a competent, but talkative person. She thanked me for helping her grandson when we met for the first time. Even though she had already learned from her child what kind of person I was, I still needed to act rationally and not rashly. I decided to talk to her about Dafa. I started with the fundamental truth about Dafa. She said, “I believe what you said because I trust you.” She withdrew from the Young Pioneers and Communist Youth League without hesitation, accepted a Falun Gong keepsake, and thanked me several times.
The following evening, the child’s paternal grandmother told me, “I was on the bus today, and came across a person telling the truth about Falun Gong to another person. However, that person didn’t believe it and argued with the Falun Gong practitioner. I immediately went up to her and said, ‘What she said is true. If you don’t believe it, then forget about it. Don’t make a fuss about it.’ That person immediately stopped talking.” I was very happy to hear that she had positioned herself correctly. People who understand the truth about Dafa will also help spread the truth!
However, talking about Dafa to the grandfather took a lot of work. The CCP’s propaganda had deeply poisoned him. After talking to him several times, he still didn’t believe me. One day, the old couple were in the kitchen. Since the kitchen was small, both of them were not often in the kitchen together. I told the grandfather about Dafa again and tried to persuade him to withdraw from the CCP and its youth organizations. He still did not believe me and refused to quit.
Then, the grandmother spoke up: “What the elder sister said is true. Society is in such chaos. The pandemic is so severe. People are forced to do COVID tests day and night, but still, many people lose their lives. What do you want to keep your things [membership in the Young Pioneers and Communist Youth League] for?” The grandfather was stunned for a moment but realized his wife was right. He agreed to quit. I provided him with an appropriate pseudonym to quit, and he was happy. I also told him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” saying that it could help him in times of stress or danger. He asked if it worked. The grandmother firmly said it worked, and she recited the phrases every day. This stubborn man was finally saved.
The child’s father was very busy at work, and his office was far away. Every day, he left home at 6 a.m. and got home at 8 or 9 p.m.. It wasn’t easy to see him. He was at home one day, and we talked in the small foyer. He thanked me for helping his son with homework. Soon, I got to the point, talking about the miraculous effects of Falun Gong in recovering from illnesses and improving health, the truth about the Tiananmen Self-Immolation hoax, and then about the Chinese people quitting the CCP. He agreed to withdraw from the Young Pioneers and Communist Youth League. He also said that his factory was like a giant concentration camp and that he had to go through face recognition at the main entrance and the other doors. He was very busy at work and often worked overtime. It was hard for him to hear news from the outside world. So he thanked me for letting him know what was happening outside his factory.
The boy was the only one left I needed to talk to. One day, I was surfing the Internet when he came in. I showed him a cartoon about Falun Gong which was suitable for children. Then I told him the red scarf was dyed with the blood of the dead, and it was unlucky to wear it around your neck. I said, “If you say, ‘I don’t want this,’ then the Law of Heaven will protect you.” He did as I told him. I thought maybe the child didn’t really understand the meaning. But a few days later, something happened that made me realize I was wrong. One afternoon, he came home from school and stopped at my room to do his homework. He was still wearing the red scarf around his neck. I told him: “You can take the red scarf off since you are in grandma’s room.” He took off the red scarf nimbly, pinched it with his thumb and forefinger, and said with disgust: “When I see this piece of bloody cloth, it’s like seeing a ghost. But the teacher insists on me wearing it. If I don’t wear it, I won’t be allowed into the school.” I was really happy and saddened to hear this. I was glad that the child understood the truth, and I was saddened that the children in China were so pitiful and had no freedom at all.
Within a few months, all seven family members had withdrawn from the CCP and its youth organizations. They will have a promising future! I also created a good cultivation environment for myself. Soon afterward, a new Fa-study group was set up in my house. Master arranged everything. Thank you, Master for your compassionate arrangements.
No matter who is at home, the neighboring family will help me open the door for other practitioners. I live in the suite inside, and sometimes, I forget to leave the entrance open and can’t hear people knocking on the door. One day, the child smiled and said to me, “Don’t worry, Grandma. We are your security guards.”
