At this moment, people in society are awakening to the truth and being saved by Dafa.
In the beginning of the summer of 2001, I gave an elderly cobbler some information about Dafa. The old man said nervously: "I know Falun Gong is good, but the government doesn't allow the practice. We will be arrested and sent to prison if we look at it; it's very scary." On another occasion, I was speaking of Dafa to a cashier in a shop. He immediately looked around and said: "Lower your voice, you could be sentenced to prison if someone overheard you." When I brought her some Dafa materials a couple of days later, she quit her job [for fear that those around her would give her a hard time]. These two events affected me deeply, I felt miserable in my heart. Ordinary people were being deeply hurt, and I felt the heavy load of responsibility on my shoulders.
Since Dafa practitioners have been explaining the truth to people, more and more lives have started to awaken and understand the truth. The situation has fundamentally changed, especially since 2003. In my efforts at truth clarification, I have met many people with karmic relationships who are no longer afraid to accept the truth about Dafa.
For example, one time my daughter and I went to a wholesale market to pass out truth-clarifying materials, where we met several people. Although they realized that we are Dafa practitioners, they were very friendly, offered us chairs to sit on, and we talked for more than two hours.
Once we were waiting for a bus at a bus station; it was drizzling. An older woman stopped and asked me for directions. When I held my umbrella over her head, she was immediately moved and said: "You are so nice, you don't often see people with a good heart like yours anymore." I said: "Dafa practitioners are all good people; remember that Falun Dafa is good and you will be fortunate." She was very happy to hear this and thanked me for it. She was waving at us as we parted.
I also explained the truth to my childhood friend whom I hadn't seen for 45 years and a past colleague whom I hadn't seen for 20 years, and they both received it gracefully.
Many times, I meet people when I am distributing flyers in an apartment building. They react naturally, some of them nod and smile at us. Those changes in the ordinary world are influenced by the overall situation of Fa-rectification. Master's law bodies lead people with karmic relationships to listen to the truth, and they are saved by Dafa.
