Cultivate Diligently and Save More People

(Minhui.org) I used to work in the finance industry and, at 70, am now retired. I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 1998, going on 27 years.

I had a very vivid dream in early January 2020. I was taking an exam next to a river with people I didn’t know. It was a rainy and windy night. Everyone got a different test sheet. I scored a 60 or 70. The wind was wild and it was pouring rain. We sat the exam wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas, and I didn’t even finish all the questions. I enlightened that there might soon be big tests or big events. Sure enough, the COVID-19 pandemic erupted, and Wuhan was locked down.

Several days later my city was locked down. In the residential area where I lived, only one gate was open, so people couldn’t come and go easily; all the other gates were sealed off. Guards were on duty at the gate 24 hours a day.

City and the district officials monitored the gate closely. Residents were not allowed to exit casually. Each household was issued one pass and was allowed to go shopping once every two days, then once every three days. Several days later, the rule changed again, and residents were not allowed to go out or walk around the residential area.

Announcements were frequently made via the loudspeaker. The rapid spread of the virus put everyone in a panic. When we went to the shopping center, we had to have our temperature taken, register our phone numbers and ID, and stay one meter apart. I couldn’t talk to anyone or clarify the truth to save people. At that time, I had just one thought: “I must race against time to save sentient beings.”

Due to the lockdown, no buses were running. On Chinese New Year’s Day, I walked to a practitioner’s home with posters and my laptop to get the posters laminated. The trip took over an hour. The next day, I went out to put up the posters. There was a lot of traffic and many people were out, so I was not able to put up the posters because I would be seen and might be arrested. Finally, I came to a bus stop where several people were waiting for a bus. I asked Master Li, Falun Dafa’s founder, to have the people there stay put and not move. I put up one poster as quickly as I could and quickly left. They didn’t move until I’d passed them. They turned around and looked at me. Thank you, Master, for helping me put up the poster.

Sometimes I went to the nearby parks, squares, and residential areas to put up stickers with auspicious phrases like “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good.” Those areas were not locked down. People went there and read the stickers. Later on when I clarified the truth to people after the lockdown was lifted, some of them said that they’d seen the stickers and knew the phrases by heart. I walked to the shopping center about an hour away from where I lived and bought double-sided tape to make stickers. I went to different places to put up the stickers and people saw them. Here I’d like to thank the Minghui editors for publishing various truth-clarification materials on the website and providing practitioners in China with such good tools. Thank you!

One day, I downloaded and made some new stickers. Though it was not time for my family to go shopping, I wanted to go out to clarify the truth. I got posters and pamphlets ready after I finished sending forth righteous thoughts and went out. There were more than 10 officials at the gate, but I pushed open the door and went out. They didn’t see me. I put up dozens of posters. I understood that Master put a cover around me so that those people didn’t see me. As long as I had the heart to save people, Master helped me. It is Master who saves sentient beings.

I went out the following day. One of the guards said, “Ma’am, please don’t go out. They are arresting people and taking them to the study center. You’ll have to pay a lot of money. It is terrifying.” I thanked him but still went out. I wanted to buy double-sided tape and some incense. When I was crossing the road, a police car stopped next to me. Two officers got out. A policewoman had a register in her hand and the male officer had a thermometer. They shouted, “Stop! What are you doing here? Which residential area do you live in? Give us your ID number.”

I quickly walked into the pedestrian lane and thought, “Do not comply with the evil’s demands or orders.” I said to them calmly, “I am going to the shopping center. I don’t have my ID with me.” I didn’t stop, and they didn’t stop me either. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and they drove away. I came to an intersection and saw three police cars with a dozen volunteers from the community. The atmosphere was tense. I was lucky thanks to Master’s protection.

One day I came across the guard of the residential area opposite mine. I walked with him and clarified the truth to him. He agreed to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I gave him an amulet, and he thanked me. I followed him into his residential area. I walked onto an eastward path and saw a man in his 50s. I chatted with him and clarified the truth to him. He listened and agreed to quit the CCP. He told me that this path led to another residential area and that I could go into the city if I followed the downhill road. He wanted more materials. I gave him two amulets, two posters, and some pamphlets. He was very happy. I was moved to tears. Sentient beings were waiting for salvation. Master was encouraging me.

Later on, my residential area was completely locked down. We were not allowed to go outside the residential area. I started to hang bags on door handles with pamphlets and DVDs in them. I also clarified the truth to the residents in person.

When I passed the gate the day before the lockdown was lifted, the officer from the community center and the property manager looked at me talking. The property manager stopped me and showed me photos of the truth-clarifying pamphlets on her cell phone. She asked me if they were mine and said that someone told her that I distributed them. I didn’t answer and started to clarify the truth to her and asked her to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good” to keep herself safe. I’d clarified the truth to her before. She didn’t get anything from me and left.

A young girl from the property office told me the following day that a director from some bureau came to them with a bag of truth-clarification pamphlets and was angry. He demanded to see the surveillance video recordings to find out who’d distributed them. He said that the area was locked down but someone still hung bags on door handles and the municipal officials already knew it and he would investigate to find out who did it. I had previously clarified the truth to the guards and officers in the property office and got along with them well. I was not moved by what the young girl said. Master helped dissolve this tribulation for me. Thank you, Master!

I often went out to put up posters and stickers. I went far away to distribute pamphlets after I sent forth righteous thoughts at 6 p.m. one night early last year. It was midnight and pitch black when I came back. I met two people walking their dogs with a flashlight. They led me on my way for a while. A cat also came to me and led the way for me. As I was putting up a poster on a utility pole, bright headlights lit up the poster. I turned around to conceal it and pleaded in my heart for Master to protect me. A police patrol car passed me and honked twice. They didn’t see me. It was a narrow escape. Thank you, Master, for your protection.

On Chinese New Year’s eve two years ago, I clicked the Minghui website and saw Master’s article “How Humankind Came to Be” that had just been published. I asked my daughter-in-law (who is also a practitioner) to come over and read it with me. I was moved to tears. The Fa-rectification entered a new phase. The period of the Fa rectifying the human world started. Master has worked hard for us and borne everything for the sentient beings of the universe. Master has given his all in order to save all lives.

Thank you, Master, for your boundless grace!
