(Minghui.org) Amid the brutal, long-standing persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against Falun Gong practitioners—individuals who uphold the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—each practitioner has endured tribulations. Yet, even in this perilous environment, many everyday people, including some police officers, have retained their innate goodness and sense of justice. By quietly extending kindness and protecting practitioners in various situations, they have become rare beacons of light amid the danger.
My experiences below bear witness to the power of kindness amid perilous circumstances.
“Dafa Practitioners Are the Best of Good People.”
In 2012, I became acquainted with a friend I had only known by name before. I spoke to him one day about Dafa, and encouraged him to quit the CCP. He was receptive and said, “I have a new respect for you. Let’s find a private place to talk more.”
He then spoke at length about the various evil aspects of the CCP. He mentioned that there were several Falun Gong practitioners at his workplace, who were all great people, yet they were arrested and sentenced simply for persisting in their practice. “Good people ending up in prison. What kind of world is this? Right and wrong have been turned upside down. How can society possibly be any good?” He added that he had struggled for years to find genuine friends, and concluded, “Let’s keep in touch from now on!”
We developed a true friendship, and he helped me on many occasions. He held Dafa practitioners in high regard. Whenever anyone spoke ill of Dafa, he refuted them on the spot, “The Dafa practitioners I know are the best of good people. Tell me, which of the people you know who do bad things actually practice Falun Gong?” The other party would immediately be left speechless.
“He Is a Good Person Who Does Nothing Wrong. What Is There to Monitor?”
The person in charge of a company across the street from my house in 2015 was a long-time friend. I frequently shared the facts about Dafa with him, and he witnessed the positive changes in me resulting from the practice. As a result, he became very supportive of Dafa.
He told me one day, “People from the Public Security Bureau asked to use an office in our building to monitor you, since they could see right into your home from here. I found an excuse to refuse, telling them, ‘He is a good person who does nothing wrong. What is there to monitor?’ Then I sent them away.”
He cautioned me to be extra careful, “Do you realize how many times over the years the Public Security Bureau has targeted you for arrest? It is precisely because you are sincere, kind to others, and have a good reputation that you’ve managed to stay out of trouble.”
While I was later explaining the facts about the persecution to another police officer, he smiled and patted me on the shoulder, “I know who you are. The Public Security Bureau has wanted to arrest you so many times over the years. But we simply lacked the evidence, so the matter always fizzled out. You should really watch your safety.”
“In Fact, We Know That You Falun Gong Practitioners Are Good People.”
A relative once received a call from a police officer friend, urging him to notify me immediately that a fellow practitioner had just been arrested, and that the police were about to raid her home. The officer hoped I could alert the practitioner’s family as quickly as possible.
Thanks to this timely information, the practitioner’s family was able to relocate the Dafa materials immediately, preventing any losses during the police raid.
I later said to that police officer, “I rarely got in touch with you because I was afraid it might affect your work.” He replied, “What is there to be afraid of? Can’t a police officer have friends who practice Falun Gong? In fact, we know that you Falun Gong practitioners are all good people.”
The Perilous Persecution Came to an End
During a local campaign of persecution against Dafa practitioners, the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Domestic Security Division designated me as a key target. They placed my residence under covert surveillance, desperate to find any so-called “evidence” to arrest me.
A friend once borrowed my car. Before long, he said, “You need to be careful.” It turned out that another acquaintance of his was involved in the monitoring operation. Having seeing him driving my car, the friend advised him to warn me.
I identified the surveillance tracker and took countermeasures. After several months, having gained nothing, they finally removed the tracker. The perilous persecution thus came to an end.
Conclusion
Over the years, while things appeared to be coincidences, I was protected time and again in perilous situations. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to those kind and righteous friends and police officers. I am even more grateful to Master who transformed me completely, giving me a new life.
