(Minghui.org) I joined a telephone calling platform during the COVID outbreak, and I’m grateful I had this opportunity to clarify the truth, save sentient beings, and cultivate myself alongside practitioners from around the world.
Over the past three years of making truth-clarification calls I realized that if we don’t have compassion and kindness, we cannot save people. I tell people that Falun Dafa practitioners are contacting them for their benefit. We hope they understand the terrible consequences of continuing to do evil.
Perseverance Is Key
Perseverance is key when making truth-clarification calls to police, prosecutors, and legal departments, and is much more challenging than speaking to the general public. It requires us to persevere, face difficulties, and firmly believe what Master said: “We don’t believe consciences can’t be brought back.” (“To Save the World,” Hong Yin III)
When I called a police officer in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province he started cursing 13 seconds into the call and then hung up. I called again. This time he listened for 11 seconds, cursed, and hung up again. I thought, as long as he answers, I won’t give up—I just want to give him a chance to be saved. After I called seven times, I noticed he listened longer each time. Eventually, he stopped cursing, listened for 24 minutes, and understood the truth.
I shared with him websites like “Sound of Hope,” “Quit the Party website,” “World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong,” “Dialogue between Lawyers and Prosecutors,” and other truth-clarifying sites. I asked if he wished to withdraw from the Party, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. He said he did and apologized for his earlier behavior.
Another time, I called the chief of a police station in Changchun. He also started cursing and hung up. I kept calling. After several rounds, I tried a different approach. I expressed my genuine concern for his safety given the high risks associated with his job. This time, he didn’t hang up and listened. I told him how practicing Falun Dafa resolved my diseases, elevated my moral standards, and earned my colleagues’ respect. He eventually understood and withdrew from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) organizations. I called him 13 times.
Some people completely refuse to listen. They curse and eventually stop answering the phone. I don’t give up on them and ask other practitioners to send them truth-clarifying messages, hoping they will read the information when they calm down.
In early 2023, Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, published “How Humankind Came to Be.” When I call people, I start by reading the first paragraph:
“I would like to first pass along my greetings to everyone on the advent of the Chinese New Year.
New Year’s would normally be a time for sharing a few pleasant remarks about the occasion. But I am seeing imminent danger approaching humanity, and have been called upon by divine beings to pass along, for this reason, several things to everyone in this world. Each of what I am about to disclose is a higher, closely guarded secret, and these are being shared to provide a true picture of affairs, and to give people another chance at salvation.”
I emphasize Master’s message of salvation to all beings, reminding them that Master cherishes everyone on Earth. He wants practitioners to bring them hope and salvation.
A policeman in Jiangxi listened attentively for over 18 minutes during two calls. After providing him with several truth-clarification websites and contact information, he asked me to send them to his phone. He was very grateful when he received them. I believed that it was time, so I asked if he wanted to quit the Party. He agreed and asked me to help his wife quit, too.
Another time, I called a judge at an intermediate court in Jilin Province. He was skeptical and argued with me, then went off to talk to a lady, possibly his wife. He returned and asserted his belief in the Communist Party before returning to his conversation with the lady. I thought the call was going nowhere with him running back and forth. He was unable to listen to the truth.
Then, he came back again, loudly swearing allegiance to the CCP. The lady took the phone and said, “I also work at the court. Don’t waste your breath on him; he’s confused. You’re right, people should have the right to freedom of belief. Believing in Falun Dafa is not wrong. Ignore him, thank you!” I responded, “Thank you for understanding, you truly are a kind person.”
Making truth-clarification calls requires wisdom and patience, and constantly adapting our strategies to ensure the message is received. I cherish every phone call I make, knowing each call is a chance to save a life.
I called a police officer in Sichuan who didn’t understand the truth. He said, “Falun Dafa practitioners do not eat, drink, or sleep. All they want to do is to become divine, which turns people foolish.” I laughed and responded, “I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for over 24 years. If I didn’t eat, drink, or sleep, I would have died long ago.” I explained what Falun Dafa is, what the CCP is, and why the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa. I talked about my own cultivation experiences. After listening for 19 minutes, he understood. When I said my husband is also from Sichuan, he excitedly said, “If you have the chance to come here, it would be great to talk in person. My name is... easy to remember. Come visit here.” He said he had to hang up since it was a duty call. I was touched by his response and wished him a safe life.
I called a young girl in Sichuan. When I asked her to hand the phone to an adult, she said all the adults in her family and everyone in her village died during the pandemic, leaving her alone. Hearing this made me incredibly sad, reflecting on the severity of the pandemic. With the pandemic ongoing and the truth still obscured by the CCP, the urgency to save those deceived by lies felt even more pressing.
Master Is Helping Me
In the early part of 2024, making specialized case calls was extremely challenging. I received a list of numbers, but initially, no one answered. It was after 2 a.m. I looked at Master’s portrait on the wall and asked Master to help me save sentient beings and fulfill my mission.
Then, I began dialing from the end of the list, retrying numbers that had not been answered before. The very first number I tried this time got through, and the person listened for more than six minutes. After hanging up, I kept thanking Master. I was moved to tears of gratitude. I got through to three more people. Master arranged for these four sentient beings to come to me, giving them the chance to hear the truth. Master’s grace is immense! Even though I live alone, I constantly feel Master’s presence beside me, protecting and supporting me in saving sentient beings.
Master said,
“If I were to end this affair right now, too many future lives would be destroyed. Those people that came down to obtain the Fa, those people that came on account of obtaining the Fa, would have come in vain. Regardless of what those lives are now doing, they were, in the beginning, gods. They saw how terrifying it was here, yet they dared to jump headlong in—they dared to come. Why was that? Because they had hope in the Fa-rectification and Dafa, and they came out of a deep faith. No matter how they are behaving now, we need to look at how things were initially and look at their history—at how that life once was—and do our utmost to save them.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IX)
I realize that the process of making calls to clarify the truth and save sentient beings is also a process of genuine self-cultivation. Despite various difficulties and tribulations, can we believe in Master and the Fa, remain steadfast, continue to advance, and seize every opportunity to save people?
I’m now seventy-eight years old, and I began practicing on December 23, 1998. Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I had severe rheumatic heart disease. A 24-hour monitoring device recorded over 14,800 heart stoppages. Doctors warned me against sleeping in a bed on rainy, low-pressure days, advising me to walk around instead to avoid sudden death. My knees were afflicted with synovitis, bone hyperplasia, and adhered soft tissues with effusion, making every step painful. Weekly hospital visits for fluid extraction and injections, along with other diseases like bone hyperplasia and neurasthenia, left me in a state of despair.
After I began practicing Falun Dafa, my health improved within a week. Friends and family witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa, which gave me a second chance at life.
In China, for upholding my faith, I was unlawfully imprisoned for three and a half years, including at the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, and Liaoning Province Women’s Prison. Facing even the most malicious police, I remained compassionate. I continuously clarified the truth, and some police officers who understood the truth chose to renounce their misdeeds and protect practitioners. Some inmates, who were ordered to watch me, even started practicing themselves, becoming fellow practitioners.
My personal experiences confirm the greatness of Dafa and the omnipotence of our Master. In this final stage of Fa-rectification, I will heed Master’s guidance, diligently cultivate myself, save more sentient beings, fulfill my vows, and return with Master.
Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners.
