(Clearwisdom.net) When I was working in Xi'an City in 1993, I made friends with a gentleman from the Hexi Corridor Area. I had already begun to practice Falun Gong, and I encouraged him to practice. He did not heed my advice and said that he was still young and he wanted to learn to survive in the "real" world. Later, I left Xi'an City and had not been in touch with him for over ten years. Recently he asked for my home address in my hometown and he himself drove over to visit me.

He said that he had had a lot of trouble and endured many hardships, but he had a successful career and a happy family life. He ran a company and bought a house in downtown Xi'an City. He had assets worth more than ten million yuan. However, he was bored and empty inside and did not know the purpose of his life. "There are so many disasters nowadays, and society is in chaos. Everyone is in danger and does not know the way out. I am so stressed and worried every day. I am not happy at all," he said.

I said, "Although I lead a simple life, I have found the source of happiness." Before I had finished, he interrupted me, "Please tell me the secret of being happy quickly. I came here to find the way out of my misery."

I talked about life from different perspectives. I told him that the purpose of life was to return to one's true self and that we all came from heaven. I told him how many of us were contaminated by human society and had gotten deeply lost in the maze and forgot the vows that they made before they came to the world. Falun Dafa teaches us to be good by following the universal characteristics of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. "If you keep cultivating yourself further, you will not only become healthy, you can also return to the original place that you descended from." I thoroughly explained the truth about Falun Dafa and told him why the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) persecutes Falun Dafa and practitioners. Then I told him that many of the recent disasters were man-made catastrophes caused by the evil CCP, that the CCP will soon be destroyed by heaven, and that it was imperative to withdraw from the CCP and its related organizations, so that he could embrace a bright future.

He listened to me very carefully and was very excited. He regretted that he did not listen to my advice in the past and had missed the opportunity to start practicing Falun Gong long ago. I said, "Master said that there is still a chance before the Fa-rectification has ended. From now on, if you cherish the time, there is still hope." I helped him to withdraw from the CCP and asked him to tell his family members to quit also. I gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun and some truth-clarification materials. He expressed his intention to read them carefully after going home. He also wrote down my phone number to keep in touch with me.

After seeing him off, I was deeply touched. The progress of Fa-rectification has gotten to the point that everyday people have become more awakened. They hope to be saved. As Falun Dafa disciples we should be more diligent and save more sentient beings. We should live up to sentient beings' expectations.
