Society’s Tribulations Are Merely the Black Substances Expelled by a Dying Dragon

Oct. 9, 2025 |   By Ziyuan

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa with my parents when I was a child and I came to the United States several years ago to study. When I sent forth righteous thoughts two weeks ago I saw the following scene.

The Dying Dragon

I saw a dark red dragon. Its head was black and covered in marks that looked menacing. It hovered in the air above a map of China. When it moved I noticed things that looked like swords pierced its body behind its head. These “swords” were not physical objects—they appeared to be made of light and supernormal abilities. The dragon continued moving despite its wounds, but it seemed to be dying.

The dragon then entered the final stage of “destruction.” As it died, all the black substances were expelled from its body. The darkness was beyond description, darker than black ink or any black substance I’ve ever seen. It resembled the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and covered half of China. The head seemed to be above Shanghai, instead of Beijing. As it was expelled, the dark substance covered Shanghai and gradually spread outward.

After it finished expelling the black substance, the dragon slowly shrank and fell to the ground and then bounced back up. This happened a few times and it continued bouncing and shrinking as it died.

When I saw this scene I realized the CCP dragon has begun to expel its black substance, which spreads as its expelled before it finally dies.

My Understanding

Because I felt what I saw may not necessarily be true, and I did not want to affect other practitioners I just briefly described the scene to my father and then I forgot about it. Encouraged by other practitioners I’ve decided to reflect on what I saw and share my thoughts.

Very soon some everyday people including those who have a conscience or uphold morality in society may be targeted for persecution by rotten demons or CCP agents. As a practitioner, I understand this could be the old forces’ arrangement–while enduring karma, people are positioning themselves.

Why do good people endure more? I think the old forces have given up on those who are truly bad because they will be destroyed any way. The old forces have no mercy. They think that even non-practitioners have to settle their karmic debts before they can enter the future.

This is consistent with the current situation in China. Many young people have awakened and post on social media.

One person wrote, “As long as I’m still alive, I’ll speak for the upright.”

Some others wrote, “Even if I am gone, there are still thousands or tens of thousands of people here like me.”

Others posted: “Our lives could be insignificant like ants. But we can still fight for the dawn.”

Another person wrote, “When the divine battles the demon, I will stand on the side of divine.”

Others posted, “We will be remembered in the future for our courage right now,”and, “If I have to die in exchange for a better society, so be it.”

I was touched when I read this, and saw hope for mankind.

While delighted by these remarks, I’m also worried for these people. Some people remain numb while those who have awakened may face challenges. They want to help but don’t know how; they want to speak up, but may feel their their voices are too weak.

Some who help those whose rights have been violated receive death threats; they want to expose what’s happening but their posts are censored. So they repeatedly post after their initial posts were removed. Falun Dafa practitioners know some everyday people also came from high levels and choose to side with the upright. But because they are not practitioners they do not know these challenges are arranged by the old forces.

Sadness and Inspiration

After I had these realizations my mood was very low for the next two weeks and I keep seeing scenes of people suffering. I felt the black substance expelled by the dragon needed to be endured by people before they people could enter the future.

I even hoped time would stop because it felt like the tribulation was too much. I told some practitioners, “The old forces mistreat practitioners and now even everyday people suffer. I feel helpless.”

Practitioners know they that even though they are suffering they’re on the path to the divine. But what about everyday people? I felt very depressed.

While I was driving home from school the other day, I listened to some music performed by the Shen Yun Symphony Orchestra. It was the opening piece from a Shen Yun performance a few years ago. The magnificent melody and notes echoed in my heart. Then I had the thought: “Have you forgotten what you are here for? You’ve forgotten how powerful you are!” I burst into tears. I knew these words were from Master. My depression disappeared, and my heart was filled with energy.

Although the old forces made intricate arrangements we know Fa-rectification will definitely succeed. We need to step forward and help Master save people. The interference will be eliminated and people will enter new era after enduring these temporary difficulties. Even though the persecution still seems to be rampant the dragon is in its death throes. When practitioners cultivate well we’re able to help more people enter the future.

Thank you Master!

Heshi.
