(Minghui.org) The electricity went out in my home one day in early September, so I called the Electric Power Bureau, and they sent a man over. He checked around my home, but couldn't find any problems. He said that since the house was over 30 years old, the wiring could just be getting old.
As he was leaving, he asked if I practiced Falun Gong because there were many Falun Gong pictures on my walls. I said I did, and I asked if he knew much about it.
He said that he was familiar with it, and he continued by telling me a story:
“My co-worker hit a person with his car. The person’s leg was injured badly, and he couldn't stand up. The driver said they should go to the hospital.
“But the man answered, ‘I am Falun Gong practitioner, and I will not cause trouble for you. Please just take me home.’
“The driver didn't agree, saying, ‘Your leg was hurt so badly. You have to go to the hospital.’ He refused to go, and in the end the driver had to take him home.
“When the driver told me about his accident, I asked, ‘Is it true?’ I was so surprised that such kind people still existed in this troubled world. I was determined to visit him and find out what this practitioner and Falun Gong was all about.
“So the next day, I went to visit him. I brought money and many gifts. However, he refused to accept any of it.
“He said, ‘I practice Falun Gong and follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The regime slandered Falun Gong over the years. It used lies and propaganda to deceive and incite hatred among people. All of us are victims.’
“‘This really opened my eyes today,’ I said. ‘Now I understood what Falun Gong was and will never believe those lies. How should I thank you?’
“He said, ‘No need to thank me. Just thank our Master.’
“After I returned to work, I told everyone about what had happened. They all agreed that Falun Gong practitioners have the best characters in the world.”
