The Smile that Eliminated Evil

June 20, 2025 |   By a Dafa practitioner from China

(Minghui.org) Last year, I went to the market to clarify the truth about Dafa. Plainclothed policemen arrested me and took me to a police station. I did not have fear at the time and thought, “I haven’t been here before, since I am here, I should clarify the truth to them.” Seven young men in blue police uniforms entered. They looked aggressive and turned on the computer, set up a recorder, and talked loudly. At first, I was intimidated, but then I thought, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Master is with me, how could I be scared?”

I decided not to tell them anything except the truth about Dafa. I shared with them that Falun Gong teaches people to be good according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I told them they could look online for the fact that Falun Gong has spread to more than 100 countries in the world and that communist China is the only country that does not allow the practice.

As I was talking, a man in his 40s came in from upstairs. He started to curse at me. I said, “Young man, I’m probably older than your mother. How could you curse at me like this?” He continued to curse. I looked at his pitiful appearance, and I felt compassion for him. I couldn’t help but smile. He was surprised and took two steps back. “Why are you smiling?” Maybe with this smile, Master Li helped me destroy the evil behind him. He stopped cursing and left.

Three police officers who arrested me came over. One officer asked, “You practice Falun Gong. Does your husband support you?”

I realized that it was Master who encouraged me to continue to clarify the truth. A lot of people came to the police station that day. It seemed to be related to a civil dispute. I thought these people also came to hear the truth. I answered that over time, my husband has come to support me. He continued to ask, “Does your daughter-in-law support you too?” I responded, “My daughter-in-law said, ‘Mom, I am not a practitioner, but I support you.’” When he heard that my family supported me, he stopped asking me any further questions.

Another man said, “Falun Gong is an evil cult and China does not allow it.” I said, “That was what the former dictator Jiang Zemin said to a foreign reporter. Can Jiang Zemin represent the Constitution? Falun Gong teaches people to be better and to improve their morality. Where can you find such good people?” Finally, he said, “ Please leave and don’t return, okay?”I thought to myself, whether I return or not is my choice. I left the police station without any problem.

No matter what the situation is, if we follow Master’s guidance, we will be able to turn a dangerous situation into a safe one.
