(Clearwisdom.net) Because of the persecution, I was forced to leave my hometown in 2000 and did not dare to publicly make an appearance there. Sometimes I would go back at night, and leave early in the morning. Afterwards I thought, how can I save my hometown people if I do not see them? So bit by bit, I have been breaking through the fear of being arrested.
Clarifying the Truth at a Wedding
The child of my second eldest brother was getting married, so I went back to my hometown. Before the wedding, my elder sister and I reached an agreement: one of us would send forth righteous thoughts while the other person clarified the truth. Since we had such a wish, Teacher arranged opportunities for us. It was planned that my eldest sister would give a speech at the ceremony on behalf of our family. She told my second eldest brother what she was going to say, and he agreed.
The ceremony started, my sister came on stage to give a speech, and I was sending forth righteous thoughts. She ended her speech by telling the villagers to remember "Falun Dafa is good," and to not believe the lies of the Chinese Communist Party at any time. Her husband became very angry, saying the situation was dangerous and exclaiming, "How dare you say that on the stage?" When he made as if to hit her, I said, "Stop! This is our home." He then went silent. By now, some people said that Secretary Zhang had come (I had escaped from him in the past). I remembered that Teacher said:
"...none of the various happenings in today's human society are by chance." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa Conference" from Guiding the Voyage)
I knew that I must tell him the facts and save him. Someone asked him, "Secretary Zhang, did you release her?" He replied, "She walked away herself." I said, "You confiscated 30 yuan from me, I came back by begging for food." Then someone patted his shoulder and said, "You should not confiscate her money! You should give her money and let her go." The Secretary replied, "I did not suffer any loss because of her." I picked up a wine bottle, and walked to his table.
I said, "It is fate that we meet here today. Let me pour wine for each of you. Please remember 'Falun Dafa is good.'" Then I explained the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution to all of them.
By now my brother-in-law's anger had disappeared, and he said to me, "Today I have no one to drive today so I am free to give you a ride." I realized that Teacher was helping me. Teacher said:
"They will not take care of you if you do not practice cultivation. If you practice cultivation, they will help you all the way to the end." (Zhuan Falun)
Saving Sentient Beings
During this time, I frequently ran into other people who in the past had tried to arrest me. I avoided them in the beginning, and then I thought, "They are also victims, I shall also tell them the truth and save them."
Once, I went to my hometown to deliver Teacher's latest articles to fellow practitioners. There was no public transportation by the time I was leaving. But soon a car came by. I waved, it stopped, and the person in the car said, "Five yuan per person." I looked inside the car and saw people from our township who had arrested Falun Gong practitioners, and the person who fined me in the past. I got in the car and started to explain the truth to them. I told them about several cases of persecutors of Falun Dafa practitioners receiving retribution for their evildoings. For example, Hao Qinghua in our township expended great effort in arresting and threatening Falun Dafa practitioners. Afterwards, the car he was in collided with a train. He was the only one among the five people in the car who died. It is natural justice that good is rewarded and evil is punished. By now, the car had arrived at my elder sister's home. The other passengers said, "You may get out here, the township government is not far. Be careful."
In the process of clarifying the truth and saving people, as long as Falun Dafa practitioners have the desire to do it, we will be able to do it. When your field is righteous, the evil elements will disintegrate. When we truly have the wish to save people, and cooperate well with each other, Teacher will help us, and the sentient beings will be saved.
I am still very far away from Teacher's requirements. If there is anything improper here, fellow practitioners please point them out with compassion.
