[Note: Facing constant propaganda broadcast on all state-run media channels and with access to all normal means of communication such as newspapers, magazines, TV and radio denied to them, Falun Gong practitioners have resorted to many creative and sometimes unusual methods to clarify the true facts about the persecution of Falun Gong to the Chinese people.]
(Clearwisdom.net) On September 2001, my wife, our eleven-year-old daughter and I started to practice Falun Gong. After a while, we started to clarify the truth to relatives, friends and neighbors. At that time, we did not have any contact with other practitioners, so we did not know how others clarify the truth. One day, when I went out of town, I saw a sign on the electricity pole that stated, "Falun Dafa Is Good". My heart was touched and I thought, "I can do this too."
When I went back home, I bought spray paint and planned to go out at 1 am. While sleeping, in my dream I heard two very soft chimes as if they were coming from my head. I opened my eyes to look at my watch. It was exactly 1 am. I felt my body was very relaxed and full of energy. I got up and went out with my daughter.
We sprayed "Falun Dafa is Good" at the intersection near our house. A car came towards us. I was about to take my daughter and leave. She stood behind me and did not move for even a bit. She told me, "Do not fear. It is not..." Her words calmed me. Then, the car drove past us. We sprayed a total of seven signs with the words "Falun Dafa is Good" before the paint ran out. On our way home, I asked my daughter, "How did you know that the car was not coming to get us?" She said there was a voice in her head telling her not to be afraid since it was not coming to get her.
During the daytime, I went to the intersection and heard lots of people commenting. Two children who were also there, approximately 4 to 5 years old, were playing and shouting, "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!"
On the third day, the sign was painted over by someone. On the fourth day, "Falun Dafa Is Good" appeared again. This time, there was over ten of them spread in all four directions from the intersection going along several kilometers. Two days later, someone again painted over the sign. That night, our entire family acted together and sprayed more signs.
The local policemen instructed those who do not know the truth to paint over the sign once more. In this way, we painted the sign again many times and the policemen painted it over many times and we painted it again. Later, the policemen went undercover to watch the area and catch us. However, I continue to use my wisdom to take any opportunities I had to write "Falun Dafa is Good" again and again.
To save more people, I thought that it was necessary as a Dafa disciple to be proactive and not be restrained by the evil. To make it harder for the policemen searching the route, we constantly increased the distance that we painted the signs and constantly changed the locations as well.
To shock the evil more, we made a truth-clarifying banner 8 meters (approx 22 feet) long. During the latter half of the night, we hung the banner on the advertisement board at the intersection. The policemen soon took it down and threw it on the side of the road. The next night, I asked someone to pick it up to hang it up again.
This event made them very afraid and the number of the policemen was constantly increased. At the very beginning, they mobilized the local police substation. Later, the prison police central team, the policemen and road patrol policemen from the "610 Office" were also mobilized to increase their patrol. Later, they started to search and interrogate people on the road. They started interrogating after 9pm at the beginning, then, it was changed to 8pm, then 7pm. All these did not change my continued efforts to clarify the truth.
The town we live in is very big, with over ten thousand people shopping at the market daily. One night, we went to the market to paint signs. I used the spray paint while my daughter used color markers. We wrote over forty signs with the words, "Falun Dafa Is Good". We persisted in doing this over seven to eight days in the market. Later, the town officers ordered the arrest of the people responsible for painting the signs. Many police units were very busy and the police cars were increased to five, with two of them disguised as taxis.
One night, I went into the center of the town by myself. The streets were well lit by lampposts. I thought no matter what happens, it is most critical to save sentient beings. I must do this. So, I walked towards the town government building. Before I reached there, all the lights went out! I sprayed "Falun Dafa Is Good" on the walls and doors of the buildings at the town government, police station, tax office, bank, utility office, post office and food storage station. After I used up the spray paint, I returned with more. On the road, I saw the police cars slowly patrolling back and forth. They had no idea that Dafa disciples had painted signs at their station.
Because the policemen guarded all the intersections, we did not come out for several days. One night, it started to rain. I thought this was a good opportunity. I went to spray on the wall. The wall was wet so the words smeared. Then, a strong wind came through and the wall rapidly dried up. I sprayed for several hours without a break. I went out as soon as the rain stopped. The policemen discovered my pattern. Once, when I came to an intersection, I heard someone talking, it was already 1am. Without paying attention, I continued to walk. Only after several steps, I heard the start of the car engine. I immediately stopped. One police car passed in front of me. The voice was from inside of the car. If they had left several seconds later, I would have been exposed in front of them. I knew that again Teacher helped me to turn a dangerous situation into a safe one. After the policemen left, I started to spray the truth clarification sign. Then I went across the road and walked towards another wall. Not after I took several steps, I found a policeman walking towards me. Following him was a minibus full of policemen. Two policemen came from the minibus and walked towards me. I walked neither fast nor slow, with a calm heart without any fear. When the policeman in front came two meters away from me, I looked at him with righteous thoughts. He then stood motionless. All the policemen after him also stopped walking towards me. I walked out from the intersection this way.
On July 2003, our entire family started to paint on the trees by the road. We did not follow a specific time schedule or with a specific pattern. Within over ten days, every tree three to four miles along both sides of the road had "Falun Dafa Is Good" painted on them. Looking from a distance, the words were very magnificent. Everyday, the policemen patrolled nearby the slogan "Falun Dafa Is Good". The local residents all said that Falun Gong is still being practiced and has not been eliminated.
On July 20th, I again went to the town center market to spray the words, "Falun Dafa is Good." It was almost dawn when many shoppers saw me writing. Only one of them shouted at me. I ignored him.
There was one day when many policemen were mobilized. They used knives to scrape off the signs painted on the trees. Large areas of bark were scraped off as well. I could not bear to see the policemen hurting these lives, so I stopped temporarily.
Because I could not connect with other practitioners, we were almost isolated. It was difficult since we did not have truth-clarifying materials and we could seldom read Teacher's new Fa lectures. Therefore, I always wanted to find other practitioners but many attempts failed. This time, I was determined to find other practitioners, since we urgently needed truth-clarifying materials to save sentient beings.
The old forces constantly interfered with my search for other practitioners. I thought that being able to find other practitioners itself is to negate the old force's arrangement. I must break the obstacles. After several days of efforts with many difficulties, I finally found other practitioners. When I came back to tell my wife and daughter that I found other disciples, they were so happy that their eyes were full of tears.
After having obtained materials, we went out to distribute it every night for over ten nights. Later, we would distribute the materials once every two days. The process was smooth and we were able to eliminate the interference.
Once as we were returning, we were putting glue on the electric wire pole in preparation for putting up a truth clarification poster, and my daughter found out that someone was following us. We left on our bikes. A taxi stopped about 20 meters ahead of us. We were both righteous and continued to walk. The policemen did not get out of the car, and we walked by the car. They followed us for about one minute and then drove over 400 meters and stopped again. I thought that they might have realized what was happening. Right there was a road for an irrigation canal. We walked along this canal to get across. This road was difficult to walk. We could only push our bikes. Several minutes later, my daughter realized that the policemen were following us. They always kept the same distance from us and never caught us. After we got home, I noticed that my daughter's legs were covered with scratches from the weeds we walked through.
The people in the world are awakening. Some people came to me to obtain a copy of Zhuan Falun. They not only studied the Fa, but also went out to help do truth clarification work. Among them are also children. They told us, "You do not need to come to our village, we will take care of it."
Once, my daughter placed truth clarification materials inside every teacher's drawer at her school. After the teachers read them, they showed the materials to their students. Many pupils learned the truth this way. I asked my daughter, "If your school wants to initiate an activity to collect signatures against Falun Gong, what will you do?" She said without hesitation, "Clarify the truth to everyone and stop the collection." I asked her whether she was afraid that others would find out that she practices Falun Gong. She said, "Haven't we come here to validate the Fa?"
At last, let us encourage each other with the words from our Teacher.
Teacher said, "I hope you will do well what you're supposed to do. Of the three things to validate the Fa, one is to study the Fa well, one is to clarify the facts, and another is to take sending righteous thoughts seriously. Put together, these things all validate the Fa and all save sentient beings, and they are all what Dafa disciples should do. In other words, your Consummation, your future, and all of your mighty virtue are established in these." ("Fa-Lecture During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference")
"Future Great Enlightened Beings, in this final phase of validating the Fa establish your greatest mighty virtue!" ("Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Midwest-U.S. Fa Conference")
