(Minghui.org) The following are two stories sent to the Minghui website by Falun Dafa practitioners in China.
When the pandemic broke out in Wuhan in early 2020, my city suddenly announced a city-wide lockdown on January 23. The streets became deserted. People were only allowed to enter and leave the residential community once a week to purchase living essentials, and everyone was ordered to scan their health code when entering or leaving the community gate. After a few days of this, people were banned from leaving or entering the community gate and had to rely on volunteers to buy and deliver their goods. I was able to access some accurate information on the Internet and learned that many people died in the hospital. I realized this was the beginning of the catastrophe.
I had dozens of informational truth-clarification Falun Dafa materials stored in my home that I originally planned to distribute during the Chinese New Year. But, due to the pandemic, I couldn’t leave or enter the communities.
My husband also restricted me from leaving our home, fearing I would carry the virus. Although he is naturally a kind person, my husband was deeply poisoned by information disseminated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He was born in a family of government officials and received his education from the CCP. Fellow practitioners and I have clarified the truth to him, but he sometimes understood it and sometimes rejected it.
In order to go out and distribute the truth-clarification materials, I had to go very early in the morning when my husband was still asleep. Every day I distributed six or seven copies just inside my community. I started on the top floors and tried to choose the doors with shoes and garbage bags at the door, since a lot of people were not home during the Chinese New Year.
Living necessities were scarce, and I soon ran out of them. My daughter and my mother live in another community, and my husband drove there every once in a while to deliver or pick up living necessities. My mother, who is also a practitioner, knew that I needed more truth-clarification materials, so she packed those materials under the living necessities for my husband to bring to me.
After the city-wide lockdown was lifted, most communities were still closed. Yet I wanted to go to other communities to distribute materials. There was a residential community next to my community that was separated from mine by only a wall. I got the materials and went to the outside wall, but I couldn’t get over the wall after several attempts.
I was seen by a volunteer in a respective community, so I quickly got down and walked back. At this time, I saw two ladies standing and chatting, so I joined their conversation. The volunteer saw the three of us talking and he walked away. From the conversation, I learned that one of the two ladies lived in the community I wanted to enter. She let me inside, and I successfully finished distributing the materials. When we have the wish, Master will have already paved the way for us. All we need to do is just go and do it.
Later on, I also distributed truth-clarification materials in several other nearby communities. I usually had with me 50 copies of the materials. Initially, the buses were not operating, so I had to walk as far as five bus stops away to get to the other communities. Before I left home, I always sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master to help me. Thank you, Master, for your protection.
I clarified the truth about Dafa to a man who had been released from a detention center. Unexpectedly, he said to me, “Falun Dafa is so miraculous!” He then told me his story, “In 1999, I was detained in a detention center for illegally participating in the oil business. Two Dafa practitioners were illegally detained in the same cell. At the time, they were beaten by the guards and other prisoners.”
“I heard in the past that Falun Dafa practitioners are good people who do things according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I was the head of the cell at the time, so I thought that we should not bully good people. When they went on a hunger strike, I really felt sorry for them from the bottom of my heart, especially for the young man who was only in his 20s. So I tried to persuade them: ‘The CCP will not hesitate to do anything. You can’t die like this.’ I did my best to protect them. Strangely, I was soon released. After that, everything I did went very smoothly.” I told him these were blessings he received because of his kindness to Dafa practitioners.
I said to him, “Falun Dafa is a great practice, and it has spread to over 100 countries around the world. Dafa practitioners everywhere benefit both spiritually and physically. Dafa is only persecuted under the rule of the CCP. Jiang Zemin’s group staged the Tiananmen Square Self-immolation Incident to deceive people. Since the CCP usurped power, it has killed so many innocent people through all its various political movements. Gods and divine beings are watching, and eventually good and bad people will receive their retribution. When the wicked CCP asks people to join it, people have to vow to fight for it with their lives. But we really cannot give our lives to it. That’s why everyone needs to withdraw from this evil party. Only then can we be safe and have a bright future.”
He said, “I understand. Please help me withdraw from the CCP’s Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers!” I also told him to sincerely recite the two phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and he will avoid the virus during the pandemic, and receive great blessings in the future. He very agreed and thanked Master Li.
I truly felt that Master arranged everything for us and has sent these predestined people to us!
