(Minghui.org) I used to live in a small town. Then I moved to the county seat. Within a radius of several dozen miles around the county seat, there are nine towns that include more than 90 villages. I went to those villages to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa with fellow practitioners in my spare time after work.
My sister-in-law was the first to go with me. We often went on my electric bicycle to nearby villages. In order to achieve the best effect, we sent righteous thoughts or recited the Fa all the way there, and on our way back home we exchanged our experiences. When we entered an unfamiliar village, we maintained a distance in which we could see each other. We clarified the truth to whomever we met, and we put truth-clarification posters on telephone poles. We usually persuaded 10-20 people in each village to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates.
Over time, many villagers became familiar with us. Right after we entered their village, they would say, “Falun Gong practitioners have come!” We had broken through the barrier of being afraid to speak in front of a lot of people. They often called us over to them. Then we walked up to them and clarified the truth in a dignified manner. All of these people accepted the truth well. After listening, some people cursed Jiang Zemin (the former Party leader), saying that he was the worst, that he had never done a good thing, that he had fostered a large number of corrupt officials, and that it would bring disaster to the country and the people. Those who already understood the truth accepted all the pamphlets and amulets we presented to them. We gave USB disks to those with a higher education who could surf the Internet, and they happily accepted them.
In recent years, my family’s financial situation improved, and I no longer needed to work. I think this was Master Li’s (Dafa’s founder) merciful arrangement after seeing I had the heart to save people. I can now clarify the truth full-time. My sister-in-law was no longer able to help me, so another practitioner who produced truth-clarification materials named Zhu contacted Yan to help me. Zhu also went with me to clarify the truth, in addition to making materials. I went with Yan from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, Zhu and I went to the countryside to clarify the truth. We went out in the morning, and in the afternoon we studied the Fa at our respective Fa-study groups. We never stopped regardless of the season or the weather, and we heartily walked the path of saving sentient beings.
Every year before New Year’s Day, we began to distribute desk calendars, annual calendars, and New Year pictures. After a few years, people became accustomed to them and awaited delivery of them. There were also regular people selling new year pictures in the village, but the villagers were reluctant to buy them. In this way, wherever the electric bike could go, my fellow practitioners and I worked tirelessly. Extreme heat or cold could not stop our efforts to save people. We searched and rescued those who could be saved. We left our footprints in the more than 90 villages in eight townships.
In the villages we set foot in, people who understood the truth often sincerely said: “It is your hard work that keeps our county free of the pandemic.” In this case, we replied that it’s because the people in this county are kind and can identify with Dafa, that Gods and Buddhas bless the people here to keep them safe.
There are also several villages with people who are deeply poisoned and do not want to know the truth. We plan to distribute our truth-clarification materials more widely there and clarify the truth more patiently. Moreover, we need to send forth righteous thoughts intensively to disintegrate all the evil factors that control the village cadres. The villagers’ unwillingness to accept the truth has a lot to do with the village cadres who promote the Party’s evil policies. Thus, I think our efforts will make people understand the truth more easily and be saved after we eliminate the evil factors that are interfering.
When the pandemic broke out in Wuhan in 2020, our county was locked down. However, it didn’t stop Dafa practitioners from saving people. It so happened that I had just moved from a building to a bungalow. Because Master is protecting me and arranging everything for me, I am not under the control of the Three Realms, let alone the Party, and evil spirits can’t hold me back. I only think about fulfilling my mission of saving people.
When I met people on the road, I told them to sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and that these miraculous nine words are a panacea to avoid the pandemic. Sometimes we got through a blockade to distribute “Pandemic Weekly Reports,” and did so until the lockdown was lifted in May.
During the pandemic, the villagers were deluded by the Party’s propaganda again, and became numb. They weren’t as enthusiastic as before. When we told them that the nine miraculous words are a way to avoid the pandemic, they said it was the Party that drove the pandemic away and who gave them money. They said Falun Dafa didn’t help them at all, and just kept distributing those useless things. Facing that situation, we decided to continue counteracting the Party’s propaganda, as controlled by the old forces, to save more people. No matter what people said, we stayed patient, talked to them calmly, and never argued with them.
I recall one such encounter. When I first entered a village, I ran into a middle-aged man. When he saw us, he ran away. I caught up with him on my bike and said with a smile, “Where are you going? Have you quit the CCP to keep yourself protected?” He said: “I am very safe, I don’t need to be protected.” I talked to him as I walked, “This pandemic is the result of a celestial change. It is to weed out the bad people and keep the good ones. Let’s make the right choice quickly. If you agree that Dafa is good, Gods and Buddha will bless you. If you follow the wicked Party, you will suffer with it...” The person said slowly: “You are all good, but you are anti-Party.” I hurriedly said: “It’s not the case that we are anti-Party, it is the evil Party that is against good people who cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Gods do not allow that. I’m telling you the truth, and it’s all for your own good. It is time for us to wake up!” He said, “If you don’t go, I will call the police.” To avoid arousing his demonic nature, I left and biked to other places in the village.
A while after I had been distributing truth-clarification materials, I went into a small alley. As I was about to put the materials into a door gap of a house, the door suddenly opened, and a man walked out. I saw it was the person I met earlier. I laughed and said, “We meet again. It is clear that my Master wants me to save you today. Remember to recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ to avoid the pandemic. These nine words have a positive energy, which can eliminate evil spirits and enhance immunity. Do you understand?”
He was not as bold as before; the evil spirits were disintegrating. He asked me, “What good things have you distributed? Please also give me one.” I said right away, “Good! Regardless of what you said earlier, now you can accept our truth-clarification materials, which shows that you agree with Dafa and are a good person. We are here to save good people, including you. I have a USB disk, it contains more details of the truth.” Seeing that there was no one in the alley, he whispered to me: “I was just elected as the village director. My only job is to watch you Falun Dafa practitioners. Be careful, we just had a meeting. My superiors told us that posting Falun Dafa materials is forbidden and should be reported.” I hurriedly said, “Thank you for treating Dafa disciples kindly. Gods will bestow you with happiness and peace.” In the end, he quit the CCP under his real name.
Through the process of saving this person, I enlightened that we should not be discouraged when encountering someone who seems to be difficult to save.
Another example is when Zhu and I went to a village. Most of the people I met in this village understood the truth. However, there was one person who wouldn’t listen to the truth, wouldn’t read the materials, and even scolded us and Master. I kept thinking about this person, so I went to the door of this person’s house. The door was closed, and I put a weekly newspaper in the door gap. Then I saw a few workers doing renovation work at his neighbor’s house, so I walked over to clarify the truth to those workers. When I was giving amulets to the workers, I heard someone behind me ask for one, too. I turned around and saw it was the person I was trying to save, holding the weekly newspaper I just put in his door gap. He asked me to also give him a brochure.
I hurriedly asked him: “Have you withdrawn from the CCP organizations?” He said he had quit with the help of another Falun Dafa practitioner. I said, “That’s great. I’ll give you a brochure and an amulet pendant. In the future, you should often recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ When the pandemic comes, you should recite it more often. This formula brings positive energy.” He said he will remember. Therefore, when a person seems difficult to save, if this Dafa practitioner instills him with a little truth today, and another one instills him with some more truth tomorrow, eventually his knowing side will awaken, and then he will make the right choice.
A third example occurred in another village. I met a villager who was picking up cow dung. He wouldn’t listen to the truth and even said some bad things. He sounded like a Party member or a village cadre. He told me he had just resigned from the position of village Secretary. As soon as I heard that, I wanted to tell him more about the bad things the wicked Party did. He said I was engaged in politics. I said, “It’s not that we engage in politics, it’s that the Gods want to destroy the Party. I’m telling you the truth. The corrupt officials raised by the CCP send their embezzled money to the United States, buy luxury houses abroad, and migrate their children, mistresses, and grandchildren to the United States. Meanwhile they force us to scold the United States. Jiang Zemin also ceded a large piece of land in northern China to Russia. They are the real traitors. Our Master went abroad to teach the Fa. You will see that our Master will come back in an upright manner!” The villager listened and didn’t say anything, but he refused to quit the CCP. I thought to myself, “Don’t worry, do some basics first, and wait for the next time.”
Recently, Zhu and I went to that village again. Just like last time, I intentionally went to the alley where that villager lived to distribute materials. As I was walking, someone behind me asked, “Is it Falun Dafa?” I looked back, and saw it was that man. I trotted over and said, “Do you want a brochure? And do you also want a peace charm?” He said that he did. I was so happy! I thought, “Thank you, Master! You made wonderful arrangements for him and was waiting for us to go and open our mouths.”
He picked out a peace charm and truth-clarifying necklace from my bag. I quickly said: “You can see that the pandemic is raging throughout the world. The world’s people have spent a year in crisis to prove that one will be protected as long as he or she sincerely recites, ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ The vaccination doesn’t work. Why not just void your oath to fight for the wicked Party for the rest of your life? Only by quitting the CCP and agreeing that Dafa is good, can you choose a better future.”
He said, “Okay, please help me quit.” He quit the CCP under his real name.
The above are a few experiences on my journey of saving people. If something is incorrect or not in line with the Fa, please correct me with compassion.
