(Minghui.org) In December 2000, I traveled to Beijing to appeal to the government for the right to practice Falun Gong and to validate the Fa. My boss fired me as a result.
A former colleague then offered me a job at his company. During 2004, someone found a flyer about Falun Gong at the company. Everyone knew that I practiced Falun Gong, so after reading it, they put it on my desk.
I was very impressed by the flyer. Basically, it said: “An American scientist said Falun Gong and World Wide Web were born at the same time. On May 13, 1992, Falun Gong was first taught publicly by Master Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China. It was also in 1992 that Internet widely spread in America. Shortly after that, the whole world was connected through the Internet. As long as Master Li Hongzhi's new article is published on the Internet, Falun Gong practitioners around the world are able to see it within minutes.”
That was amazing. Isn't the Internet a great way to spread the truth and save people?
Master said,
“Only by learning the truth is there hope of salvation!”
(“To Choose”)
Master also said:
“The CCP’s wicked propaganda has instilled the world’s people with lies that slander and defame Falun Gong, and this is meant to incite hatred against the Buddha Fa and Dafa disciples, who are on the path to divinity.” (“The Ultimate Objective of Clarifying the Truth”)
Falun Gong practitioners have the responsibility to save people. One way to do so is by using anti-firewall software [to bypass the Chinese regime's Internet blockade]. A relative of mine and I found the most up-to-date IP addresses for accessing the Falun Gong website. We printed over a thousand pages, with 30 IP addresses on each page. We then gave them to fellow practitioners for distribution.
One day, while in a cab, I introduced the website to the driver. He said, “I would love to get on the Falun Gong website, but I don't know how.” I gave two copies of IP addresses for him to try. He was very happy.
It is important to let people know about the Falun Gong website. They will then have an opportunity to learn the facts and be saved.
I wrote an article for the Minghui website and suggested that we add the address of the Falun Gong website to every booklet, as well as instructions on how to access it. I also suggested that we widely introduce the Falun Gong website to government employees, police, court judges and college students.
Fa-rectification has proceeded to the point where things are changing a lot. By the end of July, the colleague that I mentioned above invited me and my wife to his 60s birthday party. We asked another fellow practitioner to come with us and send forth righteous thoughts. During the party, we gave away the anti-firewall software and Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs. We also helped many people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. We cooperated well.
People Change
To celebrate his birthday, our friend invited many colleagues. Many of them were engineers. One colleague's wife was a scientist at a pharmacy institute. She was the chief engineer who developed a well-known weight loss drug.
When we had met a few years earlier, she tried to avoid me. This time, my wife asked her to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, but she refused. Nor was she willing to take a copy of the Shen Yun DVD. However, she accepted the anti-firewall software.
We gave away all copies that we had made. Those engineers were very happy to receive them. One person was the mayor of a neighboring city. He was not able to come, but asked his brother to attend on his behalf. His brother took the software.
One day, a young man was handing out flyers to promote a cable company. He gave me one, and I gave him a copy of the software. I have had many such opportunities to give the software to people in public places.
Master said:
“The goal is to get rid of the evil’s lies, to enable people to see the CCP’s true face, to clear away the sins committed by people against Gods and Buddhas, and to thereby save the world’s people.” (“The Ultimate Objective of Clarifying the Truth”)
I gave the software to people who came to the birthday party in July. In August, my colleague invited me back for another party.
An engineer there said to me: “Thank you so much for the software. It was really awesome. I used to be eager to get on overseas websites, but wasn't able to do so. Your software helped me get access.”
The chief engineer also shared with us how her family had been persecuted in the past: “My father used to be a military official. He left the military and become a manager in a fire-fighting equipment factory. In 1957, he was labeled as 'rightist.'” She told us that her parents and in-laws all suffered from the Party's political movements.
She and her husband were affected as well. There were many things they had dared not say. I think they must have read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party before gathering the courage to tell us their story.
One senior executive of a design institute used to give CCP members doctrines on communism periodically. He even said, “I am giving you 'mental food.'” Before we left, we gave him a copy of the anti-firewall software, which he happily accepted.
I sincerely thank the fellow practitioners who developed the anti-firewall software. I also thank Master for His compassionate salvation.
