Story One

Around noon on a hot summer day, a young Falun Gong practitioner was distributing Falun Gong materials in an apartment complex. After receiving a flyer from the practitioner, an older man shouted: "It is a Falun Gong flyer. Let's go to the police station." He tried to drag the young man as he was talking. But the practitioner told him calmly: "We Falun Gong practitioners always tell the truth. These are true stories about Falun Gong. I would say the same thing even if I was in a police station." Then the practitioner turned around and went towards the gate. The older man followed him. When the young man got to the gate, he found that the police station was across the street, just 20 meters away. He looked back and discovered that the older man had returned to the complex. He suddenly realized "It had been a test."

Story Two

One evening in a residential complex, after an older practitioner had distributed about a hundred Falun Gong flyers, a security person in that district spotted him. It was like facing the powerful enemy; several security people approached him and informed the local police as they tried to take him into custody. Because it happened suddenly, many residents who were out for a walk after dinner surrounded them to take a look. Making good use of his time while the security person questioned him, the practitioner began to promote Falun Dafa, tell the truth about Falun Gong and distribute materials to the people around him. Some of them kept asking questions and some asked for materials. All the security people listened silently. After he finished his brief talk, the leader of the security people asked him: "Okay, grandpa, we do not want to embarrass you. But you may need to take back all the materials that you left in front of each door." The practitioner walked into the building for a while, and then left. After he was not far from the gate, he saw a police car slowly entered the area. He said to himself: "There are still many kind hearted people out there."

Story Three

Just after a young female practitioner distributed Falun Gong materials in the first unit [usually 10 to 14 apartments in each unit] of a residential building and was about to walk out, she was seen by an elderly lady who was on duty to watch the neighborhood. The elderly lady yelled at her: "What are you handing out? Bring it here, let me examine it." The practitioner was startled and said to herself: "I just started the distribution. What should I do?" She decided that she should finish this building even if she ran into trouble. So she answered: "Wait a minute, let me hand out some more to another unit and then I will show it to you." Then she went into next unit of the same building. After she had given out flyers to every apartment, she came back to the lady, gave her the material and said: "This is the true story of Falun Gong. Please read it and get to know Falun Gong." The elderly lady relaxed right away upon hearing that and said to her with a smile: "I know Falun Gong. I read the book and practiced for some time before." The practitioner then said to her also with a smile: "So, you can pass it onto others." Then she continued on to distribute materials.

Story Four

There was a busy street and many shops were on both sides of it. At dusk one day, a young male practitioner was distributing Falun Gong materials to each shop along the street. A shop owner took the material and said: "Oh, it is about Falun Gong. Young man, arent you afraid of being caught?" The practitioner said: "No, I'm just giving out some materials about the true story of Falun Gong. I did nothing wrong, what should I be afraid of?" The owner then said: "Would you be scared if I reported you to the government? I know what you look like." The practitioner answered: "Is that so, then I would like you to look at me more carefully. Good people will never be scared." The owner smiled: "Young man, I was just kidding. Give me some more materials."

Story Five

On a street, a man took the material distributed by a female practitioner. He walked away and looked at it. He then turned back to catch her and asked: "You are still distributing Falun Gong materials. Come with me." She thought, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, why should I go with you? I should face this tribulation." Then she stood there and talked more about the truth of Falun Dafa with him. They talked for about half an hour. Finally, the man said: "Now, I know the truth, but be careful" and he left.

Story Six

A young female practitioner with her child (a 9-year-old practitioner) carried few dozen copies of materials and distributed them along some busy streets. When they passed by the sub-district office, her child sent in the materials. Shortly afterwards, a man ran out and said, "How dare you hand out Falun Gong flyers here, come with me to the police station." She thought: "I am not scared. Let's go." After a few steps, her child said: "We are not criminals. Why should we go there?" The mother suddenly realized: "Not being afraid is one thing, but on the other hand, we should also not be dominated by the evil." So she said to the man: "I have something else to do at home. I am not going with you." Then she turned around, got on a bus and left. The man was puzzled and did not know what to do.
