(Minghui.org) “In this time of global crisis, I urge everyone to listen when Falun Dafa practitioners tell you about the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)” said Mrs. Hong. “They are telling you the truth.”
After a Falun Dafa practitioner clarified the truth about the persecution to Mr. Hong and his wife they understood the true nature of the CCP. The elderly couple decided that they no longer wanted to be associated with it and made a statement on the Epoch Times website when they posted their withdrawal from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Mrs. Hong explained what happened afterward: “One day two people from my husband's workplace came to our home. They wanted to take a photo of him. They took out a form and told him to sign it. When my husband asked what it was, they said it was a CCP registration form. My husband said, “I've withdrawn from the CCP. I won't fill out the form and you can't take my photo.” My husband refused to re-register for the CCP no matter what they said. Before they left they said, “We don't have the authority to approve or disapprove your withdrawal. Go talk to your workplace leader.”
“My husband and I went to his workplace the next day. My husband told the CCP secretary that he was determined to withdraw from the Party. The secretary said, 'You've been retired for several years now and are already elderly. What difference does it make whether you're a member or not?' My husband explained why he wanted to withdraw. But no matter how my husband explained it, the secretary refused to approve his withdrawal. I became anxious and said, 'If you don't let him withdraw, I'll divorce him!' The secretary replied, 'I won't approve his withdrawal even if you divorce him.'”
We went home but my husband stopped paying the Party membership dues. When a community staffer later came to our home and asked my husband to register his CCP membership, my husband said, 'Don't register me. I'm not a member of the CCP.' The man asked, 'Are you really not a member?' My husband clearly and loudly said, 'I'm not a member of CCP!' The man left.
My entire family of five all understand the facts about Falun Dafa and we've all withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. We know that Falun Dafa is very special and Master Li (the founder) is great. We often say, 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' My family feels we've been blessed as a result.
“My husband was hit by a car when he was riding his electric power cart. There was a big dent in the car where my husband's body struck it, but my husband wasn't injured.
“I was hit by a truck one day while I was riding my bicycle through an intersection. Even though I was thrown several meters I wasn't hurt. I'm nearly 70 years old. After being hit so hard I was able to get up and get back on my bicycle. I felt it was miraculous! A Falun Dafa practitioner gave my family little keepsakes which have the words, 'Falun Dafa is good' written on them. I always carry mine with me and I know that Falun Dafa's Master protected me.
“One snowy morning I was taking my grandson to school. I didn't realize the street was icy underneath the snow. As soon as I stepped outside our apartment building I slipped and fell hard. My head struck a concrete step. My arms and legs immediately became numb and I couldn't move. The amazing thing was I wasn't frightened and I didn't feel any pain! Instead, I felt very comfortable lying there. I was gradually able to move my arms and legs. I slowly stood up and I felt a little dizzy. I immediately said, 'Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good.' I didn't go to a hospital and the next day I was fine.
“In this time of international crisis, I urge everyone to listen when practitioners talk to you about the CCP. They are telling you the truth. I know that my family has been blessed after we withdrew from the CCP and that we've been kept safe. Please remember that Falun Dafa is good!”
