(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong in 1999. I have a fruit business. I often tell people about Falun Gong and the persecution to help those who have been misled by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) propaganda to understand the truth about the practice.
“I Will Quit the CCP Using My Real Name”
I traveled a distance to transport a fruit order last autumn. At dawn, in the pouring rain, I saw a man trying to stop cars on the road, but no one stopped. I did because I thought that he must need help.
As I approached him, I saw a tricycle lying on a long slope going down a ditch. Pears, vegetables, and other items were scattered around.
The man told me what had happened. He said, “I was on my way to sell my fruit and vegetables at the market when I got caught in the pouring rain. My wife called me to return home. I was in a hurry and lost control of my tricycle. I tried to stop someone, but no one would help. I was just about to walk back home when you stopped for me.”
I helped him get the tricycle up and collected his produce. As I was about to leave, he took my hands and, with tears in his eyes, thanked me from the bottom of his heart, saying that I was a nice person.
I told him, “No need to thank me. I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Please thank our Master Mr. Li Hongzhi. You just told me that I am a nice person. But do you know that I was put in prison four times due to my belief in Falun Gong?”
I told him about the persecution and suggested that he quit the CCP's organizations. I told him that he can use an alias to do it. He said, “How can they put someone like you in prison? I will quit the CCP using my real name!”
“I'm Convinced Falun Gong Is Good”
There is a fruit farmer in my local area, who I have told about the persecution many times. He knows that I practice Falun Gong and that Falun Gong is good, but he hadn't made up his mind whether he should quit the CCP.
I ordered a lot of pears from this farmer in 2013. It took him and his wife an entire day to weigh the pears and move them to my truck. I later found out that they had given me four extra containers of pears. When I returned them to the farmer the next day, seeing my honesty, he said, “Please help me quit the CCP. I'm convinced Falun Gong is good.”
“We Will Sell All of Our Premium Products to You Next Year”
Another local farm produces very good pears, which are exported to many countries. The pears that didn't qualify for export are still considered “premium” at our markets. So, of course, they are highly sought after by us fruit vendors.
I once borrowed 150 containers from the farm in the winter of 2013. Each container was worth over 20 yuan. I had no receipt and the head of the farm later changed hands. Therefore, no one there knew that I still had all these containers at my place.
I returned the containers to the farm a few months ago. I explained that I had borrowed them and now I am returning them. I told them that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and could not keep things that don't belong to me. I also told them about the persecution and the trend of people quitting the CCP. A manager immediately said, “Falun Gong is great!” Another manager said, “We will sell all of our premium products to you next year.”
I got a call from this manager the day before I wrote this article. He said, “Our company has several thousand pounds of pears. They are a very hot item. We have thought a lot and decided to sell them to you no matter what price you would like to offer us.”
I replied, “Thank you for your offer, but returning the containers was simply the right thing to do.”
“People nowadays don't think like this,” he responded. “The company has lost thousands of containers because people don't return them.”
