My child was only in second grade when I was persecuted. She was also implicated. She was called to the principal's office and was not allowed to attend classes. Consequently, my daughter's school performance significantly dropped to the ranking of 60-70 in her grade.

At that time I was very attached to my daughter's school performance. The more I was attached to it, the worse my daughter's performance at school became. I felt that if my daughter's performance at school was not good, it would bring damage to Dafa. I even beat her, leading her to fear her exams. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was not right.

One day I suddenly realized that I was taking the path arranged by the old forces. It was a form of persecution. I told my daughter that we should take the path arranged by Master Li. After I had a clear understanding of our path, my attachment to my child's school performance was gone. My daughter's performance also improved to the top 10 ranking in her grade.

In school, my daughter was very popular among her teachers and classmates. It was quite easy for her to persuade others to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Under her persuasion, all students and teachers in her class quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. After understanding the truth, her classmates also persuaded their parents to quit the CCP. My daughter did a lot of work in her middle school to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the CCP. She also started to persuade elementary school students to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. During her summer vacation, she went to her grandma's home by herself and within half a month, she persuaded over 120 people to quit the party.

One day my daughter came back and told me that her class would not make themselves available when it was their turn to raise the so-called "national" flag. All the students and teachers had quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I told her that this was Master's arrangement and compassionate protection, as he didn't want to have her class do things to persecute sentient beings.

In "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005 (Q&A portion)" the following question was raised.

Disciple asks: I have a question, Master. There are a few ordinary people in the Bay Area who actively undermine Dafa and are hostile to Dafa, which has negatively affected other ordinary people quite a bit. This is attributable to our local Dafa disciples not having done well. How can we do better?

Teacher: When the Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts are a bit stronger, everything will be changed by the Dafa disciples and the evil will be eliminated. Then what will the bad people amount to? Aren't those few bad people doing these things under the evil's control? When the evil is eliminated and you stand in front of that person, will he dare to say a single negative word [about Dafa] to you? Facing a god, he won't dare.

Through Fa-study, I came to understand that anything that happens among everyday people is not determined by everyday people, including persecution, raising the CCP flag, and other happenings. Dafa practitioners should understand that these issues are not ordinary human issues but are controlled by the evil. Our first thought should be to clean up the evil that controls people in other dimensions. Then, the evil that people can do is diminished. Everything is determined by Master Li and by Dafa practitioners. We should have righteous thoughts and in this way not allow the flag-raising and the persecution to take place.

The above are just some of my personal understandings. I hope practitioners can kindly point out anything inappropriate.
