(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new practitioner from Hebei Province. Before July 20, 1999, I did not know a thing about Falun Gong. It was only after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting the group that I started paying attention to it. The more I looked into the persecution, the more angry I got and even started to sympathize with the practitioners. In 2000, I began distributing some truth clarifying materials in my local area. At that time, I thought Falun Gong was a type of healing qigong that helped people become physically fit.
In 2002, I met two practitioners who told me that Falun Gong was good and directed me to the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom). After reading "Zhuan Falun," I felt that it was a very profound book, even though I did not understand much of its contents.
In 2005, I found a software program that enabled me to break through the CCP's Internet blockade and watch many New Tang Dynasty TV programs, including ones that talked about Falun Gong. In 2007, I saw a program on "Focus on China," which talked about numerous ancient prophesies involving Falun Gong and the downfall of the CCP.
Seeing that program made me very curious about Falun Gong. Later on, I downloaded Master Li's Fa lecture in Guangzhou and then I watched the nine-day lecture series. I discovered that Master Li's lectures talk about things from the elementary to the profound, making the content easy for me to understand. I began to realize that Falun Gong is a dual cultivation of Nature and Longevity. I was happy to learn that it is a practice that requires its practitioners to cultivate their mind and heart nature and to have high moral character.
But I was confused, "Why is Falun Gong so beneficial to China and its people, yet the CCP persecutes it?" In my heart I felt that if everyone practiced Falun Gong, China would be a very harmonious place to live.
I read the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," Disintegrate the Party Culture, and Master's newest lectures over and over again. Only then did I realize that the CCP is evil from the inside out.
Since coming to power some sixty years ago, following the fall of the Republic of China, the CCP has killed at least 80 million of its own people. This figure exceeds the number of people killed during the First and Second World Wars. The history of the CCP was written with blood and lies. Behind the blood, there are countless torture stories that are rarely made known to the public.
The policy that the CCP follows advocates betraying the nation of China by giving away its land, food, and wealth. The CCP not only destroyed China's traditional culture and moral values, but it also seized and plundered China's precious natural resources and severely polluted the environment.
The CCP's philosophy of "Deception-Wickedness-Violence," is totally contrary to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance that practitioners believe in. If the majority of Chinese people believed in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the CCP would naturally disintegrate. Thus, the CCP feels compelled to carry on this senseless persecution.
The one thing that the CCP could not anticipate is the fact that the persecution indirectly promoted Falun Gong. Those who initially had no idea of what Falun Gong was, like myself, became curious and started to read up on it, with many becoming practitioners in the end.
I wish Master Li a Happy Birthday on May 13 and a Happy Falun Dafa Day to all! I will do the three things well and in the last stage of the Fa-Rectification period, I will do my best to save more people!
