(Clearwisdom.net) I'm a veteran practitioner. After the communist regime started persecuting Falun Gong, out of fear I didn't step forward to validate the Fa or study Master's new articles. I didn't wake up to this until the winter of 2007, when I watched a video of Master teaching the Fa. I realized that as a Dafa disciple during the Fa-rectification period, I must do well the three things required by Master. Therefore, I started to clarify the truth to people in person and to persuade them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I started with my family members, neighbors, and friends. During that Chinese New Year, more than 50 people from my circle of family members, friends, and neighbors quit the CCP as a result.
In the spring of 2008, I made another step forward by clarifying the truth to strangers. On one occasion, I was sitting on a bus near the door when a student behind me mistakenly assumed that I was the conductor and asked to buy a ticket. I smiled at her and said, "I don't sell tickets." I then suddenly realized that people who come up to talk to me must have predestined relationships with me. Therefore, I made an effort to talk with her for a while. When I asked her if she had heard about quitting the CCP, she said "no." Then I told her to quit the Young Pioneers and to remember the words, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" because they would bring her a good future. She nodded and got off at the next stop. I wasn't afraid at all at that time; instead, I was feeling very comfortable in my heart. I know Master was encouraging me.
From then on, I studied the Fa much more and sent forth righteous thoughts more frequently. When I went out, helping people to quit the CCP was the most important thing on my mind. No matter where I was, as long as I had a chance to talk with people, I persuaded them to quit the CCP. Later, other practitioners and I formed a study group in my house. My husband also started to practice Dafa., and even my daughter, who is in high school, became more diligent in her cultivation.
On the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, while I was helping to sell home-grown dates for my parents' family, I persuaded eight people to quit the CCP, including a couple, a former village official, and a family of five in our village. When I first met that official, I didn't have strong righteous thoughts and dared not talk to him. I was afraid that he may not understand me. Strangely, however, he kept talking to me and asking many questions, and I then realized that I should save him. I began by asking him if he was a Party member, and he replied "yes." I then asked him if he had heard about quitting the CCP, and he again said "yes" and told me that he would not hesitate to quit the CCP. He said he had already received many booklets and DVDs explaining the facts about Falun Gong and he thought the practice was really good. He also said that he knew that the communist regime is totally corrupt. I knew that the local practitioners in this village had established a good basis for me to help him quit the CCP.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2008, my husband and I went to visit my aunts. On our way, we sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master to strengthen us. Upon arrival at one of my aunts' house, we talked with her and asked about her son. She said her son always worked overtime, monitoring the petitioners and Falun Gong practitioners. I told her immediately that Falun Gong practitioners are good people, who conduct themselves according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. When my aunt mentioned the self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square, I explained to her that it was staged by the CCP to deceive people, and then I further clarified the facts about how the communist regime persecuted good people during the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and how it is currently persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. I also told her about the corruption of the CCP. She listened to me carefully the whole time. In the end, she agreed to quit the CCP. Later, we went to another aunt's house. As I was talking with her, my husband sent forth righteous thoughts. Shortly afterward, this aunt, her husband, and their three children also agreed to quit the CCP.
Before the Chinese New Year's eve in 2009, my husband and I went back home to celebrate the new year with our family. My brother-in-law bought some gifts for the Party secretary in our village, but he insisted that we deliver the gifts to this person. We realized that Master was giving us an opportunity to save people, so we gladly agreed. After we went there, while I was talking to the elderly official and his wife, my husband sent forth righteous thoughts. I first politely asked about the health of the old couple. They told me that both of them had high blood pressure and heart disease, so I told them that my mother, who recited "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," was in good health. They said that they previously received a truth-clarification booklet, which they thought had very good information about Falun Dafa. As I continued to clarify the facts about the Cultural Revolution and the student Tiananmen Square Massacre, they agreed to withdraw from the CCP. As we left, we posted some truth-clarification messages on a telephone pole to have more people learn the truth.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, I went to my aunt's home. As soon as I came in, I learned that a lot of people were coming to visit my aunt that evening. I thought that I should stay longer so that I could save them, so I offered to help my aunt cook. During dinner, I helped all of her guests (about a dozen) to quit the CCP. In the following days, I also persuaded friends and relatives who came to visit us to quit the Party.
My husband also helped 16 people to quit the CCP at a classmate party. Although my husband only started cultivation practice about six months prior to that, his enlightenment quality is very high. He isn't usually good at talking to people, but he is very efficient in persuading people to quit the CCP. Master has arranged everything for us, letting us be good partners, so that we can help each other when saving people.
This summer, I reached a higher level in persuading people face-to-face to quit the CCP. There is a small store in the back of my aunt's home. All the villagers come to there to buy things, so I stayed around there every day to save people. I persuaded anyone who would talk to me to withdraw from the Party. Within only 20 days, 90 percent of the villagers understood the truth and withdrew from all of the organizations affiliated with the CCP. Some people didn't understand the truth at first, but after I further explained the facts to them, they understood.
I went to many local fairs to persuade people to quit the CCP. There, I talked to my classmates and teachers from elementary school, my sister and sister-in-law's coworkers, my brother-in-law's nephew, and many others. Many of these people were Party members. I also talked to students who were doing part-time jobs of distributing fliers, as well as to businessmen. I found that I could save seven or eight people at each fair. Once, I even ran into one of my classmates whom I hadn't seen for 20 years. I knew it was all part of Master's elaborate arrangements. I understood that as long as I have the heart to save people, Master will help me.
Several days ago, I also persuaded my uncle's family to quit the CCP. The sentient beings are waking up, and they are all waiting to be saved. I hope that sharing my experiences will encourage practitioners to step forward to help more people quit the CCP.
