Persisting in Clarifying the Truth and Saving Sentient Beings at a Shopping Mall

(Minghui.org) I am 76 years old and started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. When the nationwide propaganda against Falun Dafa was launched and practitioners started to be persecuted in 1999, I started going to clarify the truth every day by talking to people outdoors. I began going to a large local shopping mall to clarify the truth and awaken sentient beings eight years ago.

Helping a Young Mother

I met a young mother who was trying to put her baby in a shopping cart one day. Instinctively, I attempted to hold the shopping cart still for her, since it kept rolling away. After the young mother managed to put her baby in the cart, she happily said, “Thank you!”

“No problem,” I replied, “I come here every day and either see people taking their children out of the cart or trying to put them in. I am afraid of the children’s legs getting stuck in there, and it doesn’t take much time to help out anyway.” The young mother was very touched and said that she comes to the supermarket alone and has no one to help her. She was very glad to have met a good person like me. I told her, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and our Master has taught us to always think of others.”

I continued: “Meeting today was caused by our predestined relationship. Let me tell you something. The epidemic is getting worse now and it might be even worse than the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus (coronavirus) which originated in Wuhan. I sincerely wish for you and your child to be safe. Have you joined the CCP and its youth organizations?” She told me that she is a Party member and also joined the youth organizations when she was young. I asked her if she would like to quit the CCP and its youth organizations with the pseudonym “An Qi.” She agreed and thanked me. I gave her an amulet and told her to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to stay safe and healthy. She happily agreed to do so. 

Protecting a Young Boy

A lot of people were in the produce section of the mall’s supermarket one day. I saw a young boy standing on top of a shopping cart, and I felt very worried for him since he could be knocked off the cart by anyone. I went over to the young boy and held him gently in my hands. 

When his mother came over, she was very surprised and asked what I was doing. I told her what had happened and she was very astonished at the fact that there are still good people like me in the world. I told her that I cultivate Falun Dafa and was truly worried that her son would be knocked off. His mother held my hands and expressed her gratitude: “Thank you! Falun Dafa is truly good!”

I started to tell her how Falun Dafa practitioners abide by the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become better people. I also told her about the persecution of Falun Dafa, how the heavens will not tolerate the CCP and how she could stay safe amidst the pandemic. She believed what I told her and quit the CCP and its youth organizations. 

An Encounter at a Toy Store

I was in a toy store on the second level of the shopping mall one day when I saw a crowd of people and several worried toy store staff members. When I got closer, I saw a young boy, about four or five years old, throwing a temper tantrum on the ground. His mother and grandmother were beside him and no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to pull him up. 

I squeezed through the crowd and wanted to take a look. I got closer in and went up to the young boy and said softly: “My dear, who do you think is taller, you or me?” The young boy stood up immediately and said: “I am taller, I am taller. I am taller than you.” His mother swiftly grabbed the little boy and rushed out of the crowd. 

When the crowd of people started to disperse, several staff members came over to me and expressed their gratitude, because they had been there for at least 30 minutes trying to calm the little boy down. 

The little boy’s mother came over to me and thought I was a daycare center director. I told her that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and we abide by the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become better people. I also told her that practitioners have an energy field that can rectify all abnormalities. The people around me all praised me for what I’d done.

The little boy’s grandmother also came over to me to express her gratitude. I learned that the tantrum started over a toy that the little boy wanted. His father had agreed to buy the toy but the grandmother had refused because the toy was too expensive. The little boy was unhappy and threw a huge tantrum.

I recollected and told her a part of Master Li's (the founder) lectures in Zhuan Falun.

Master said,

“You should educate children with reason so that you can really teach them well.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)

We met the little boy’s father while chatting. After I clarified the truth to the three of them they truly admired Dafa from the bottom of their hearts and all three of them, the father, the mother and the grandmother, quit the CCP and its youth organizations.

“Being a Salesperson”

I was in the women’s clothing department one spring when I saw a lady trying on a rose-pink sweater. I commented that it looked beautiful. The lady turned around and asked me if it really looked nice on her. I told her with all sincerity that it was indeed very beautiful. The lady then asked the salesperson to wrap up the sweater. She paid for it and hurriedly left.

The salesperson came over and told me that the lady had been there for almost half an hour and was indecisive about whether she wanted to buy it or not. The salesperson couldn’t leave because the sweater the lady had tried on was one of the most expensive. Several other salespeople also came over and said they wanted me to help promote the clothing.

In the days to come, I was called over to help many people decide what to buy for their mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, as well as what to buy to wear to parties and birthdays. I used this opportunity to clarify the truth and help many customers and salespeople quit the CCP and its youth organizations. 

Clarifying the Truth to a Policeman

I saw a man trying all different sorts of yogurt in the dairy section one day. I said jokingly: “Young man, you must really like yogurt.” He smiled and said, “I am not a young man anymore. I am almost 50 years old.” I told him that he looked very young and asked him what he does for a living. He told me that he was a policeman. I said: “You should not persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.” He replied and said he was not in that department.

I continued chatting with him, “You’ve heard about Falun Dafa but have you heard about the CCP and its youth organizations? Have you quit them?” He said he had not quit. I started to tell him how my body was very weak and I was barely able to lift three cabbages. “I was 53 years old at that time. However, after two and a half months after practicing Falun Dafa, I was walking up four flights of stairs lifting a 50 jin (or 66 pounds) of flour. It has been 20 years since then and I have not taken any medication or injections, nor have I been to the hospital.” I continued telling him about how Falun Dafa has spread all over the world. I also told him to quit the CCP and its youth organizations before the Heavens disintegrate the CCP. He agreed and quit the Party. 

Helping Find a Lost Boy

I saw a grandmother and her grandson at a food bargaining event in the supermarket. The grandson ran off to the side and started to play. When the grandmother turned around, she started to panic because she could not find her grandson. I held the little boy’s hands and brought him over to his grandmother. The grandmother was really happy and started to tear up.

She held my hands tightly and said: “If it weren’t for you today, I would really blame myself and be unable to go home.” I told her: “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Our Master told us that the sentient beings on this earth were all once his family. Doesn’t this make us all relatives? We are predestined to have met!”

I started to clarify the truth to her and she happily quit the Young Pioneers, one of the CCP’s youth organizations. She accepted the amulets and some truth-clarification booklets for her son and daughter-in-law.

Using Compassion to Move People

I was clarifying the truth to a middle-aged lady in the shoe department one day. After talking to her for a while, she seemed to be ignoring me. Just then, a middle-aged man walked over and told me to stop talking. He told me he was in charge of persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. I smiled and told him: “How can a compassionate man like you do such an evil thing?” He laughed and said: “Auntie, you really do know how to praise people. Please just go home!” I continued saying: “People like you need to understand the truth about Falun Dafa. A thought of compassion toward Falun Dafa will bring you peace and happiness.” He told me that he had already heard what I’d said when I was talking to his wife. He thanked me and told me to be safe.

During the strict lockdown, there weren’t as many people as there had been in the supermarket. I was clarifying the truth to a middle-aged lady and all of a sudden she started to yell: “Why are you still talking about quitting the CCP? Aren’t you against our Party?” She kept yelling and walking with her finger pointed at me. I silently followed her and it seemed as if no one was really paying attention to her yelling. I was very dignified while walking.

I was under surveillance for 24 hours after that. But that did not stop me from clarifying the truth. I started to clarify the truth to the people who were monitoring me. Many of them understood the truth and no longer took any pictures of me. I also saw some men who were dressed like Chinese secret agents staring at me while I clarified the truth. I was worried that they weren’t able to hear me well enough, so I went over to them and clarified the truth. Several ran away but some admired my courage and showed respect. All of the sentient beings were once Master’s family and predestined people are waiting to be saved. 

Conclusion

Many practitioners have asked me if I was the older lady with glasses that clarifies the truth at the mall. Salespeople and customers often recognize me because I go to the shopping mall every day. People on the street also wave to me and tell me I helped them quit the CCP and its youth organizations. People have told me good things happened to them after they quit the Party, and one person even said he has started practicing Falun Dafa.

Salespeople at the supermarket often pour me a glass of water and remind me that it’s time to go home and have a meal. One salesperson said: “Auntie, there are two things that make me really admire you. First of all, you are very dedicated and clarify the truth every day. You never take any days off, and even during the pandemic you come every day. Secondly, you never get agitated or argue with anyone.” I thanked her and told her that this was something I had to do.

Normally I help about 17-18 people quit the Party each day, but sometimes it's fewer, about 10 people. Some children even call me grandma. This is all due to the fact that I started to memorize Zhuan Falun in 2004. Though it may have seemed that I was doing all the work, in reality, it was Dafa’s power and Master’s fashen doing all the work. 

We established a Fa-study group for reciting the Fa from memory in 2018 and we recited five pages each week. We also memorized the Fa by ourselves. After a year, I’d managed to memorize the whole book. This year we started reciting the Fa from memory one time per week with each person reciting a section of each lecture. 

I still have many shortcomings and have stumbled during cultivation and had big tribulations. I also hold regrets about tests I didn’t pass. However, I wished to share my experiences in how I have clarified the truth with other practitioners.
