My Reflections on 20 Years of Clarifying the Truth and Helping People Quit the CCP

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa before 1999. The mass movement to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began in 2005 and, since then, I have been clarifying the truth about the persecution to people and helping them quit the CCP organizations they joined.

Time flies and more than 20 years have passed, but each scene is still vivid. I’d like to talk about some of my experiences, understandings, and the lessons I learned to report to Master and share with practitioners.

I Begin Practicing Falun Dafa

Due to my family background, I’ve always disliked the CCP. I didn’t fully understand the depth and breadth of the CCP’s wickedness until I read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, the editorial series published by The Epoch Times in November 2004.

I was deeply moved, and I understood that the CCP, the self-proclaimed “great, glorious, correct” Party and “the great savior of the Chinese people,” was nothing more than a criminal cult organization, steeped in evil, and guilty of monstrous crimes.

In January 2005, The Epoch Times published a declaration and encouraged Chinese people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations as a means of saving themselves. I immediately withdrew from the Communist Youth League for me and my family. I didn’t realize at the time that I should also help others withdraw.

In the months that followed, Master published a series of articles, including “Turning the Wheel Towards the Human World,” and “Fa Teaching Given at the 2005 Manhattan International Fa Conference,” to reveal the importance of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Master told us,

“When it’s time to settle accounts with the malevolent Party, though, and when the Fa’s rectification of the human world really takes place, none of that will be taken into consideration; as long as you are a member of it, everything will be instantly purged in the process.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2005 Manhattan International Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume V)

Through studying the Fa, I came to understand that members of the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Communist Young Pioneers make up the majority of China’s 1.3 billion people. This means that when the Fa rectifies the human world, numerous Chinese people who haven’t done the three withdrawals will be eliminated.

Since most Chinese people came from higher levels of the cosmos, this affects the survival of higher-level beings and the safety and the survival of the cosmos. The importance of the movement to quit the CCP was obvious.

More and more experience-sharing articles about persuading people to quit the CCP were published. I read them and, guided by Master’s teachings, I began volunteering in late 2005 to help people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations (“do the three withdrawals”).

Saving Predestined People In My Position as An Attorney

I was enthusiastic to help, but initially didn’t know what to do. The movement had just begun. The Nine Commentaries hadn’t yet gained widespread popularity, and the Communist specter still had huge influence over people.

The first few years were challenging. Very few people agreed to quit, and most who did were family members, friends, classmates, or acquaintances. Some of them only agreed to quit because they didn’t want to hurt my feelings, not because they genuinely wanted to.

In July 2006, Master taught,

“People with predestined relationships and those who can be saved can be made to—made to by Master’s Law Bodies, righteous gods, or the immense field that Dafa has formed in the world—appear right before you in any of a range of settings, providing them with a chance to learn the truth. But you have to carry it out, and it doesn’t work if you’re not out there doing things.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume VII)

I realized that I hadn’t done things correctly and hadn’t fully shouldered the responsibility of saving the people with whom I had a predestined relationship.

As a lawyer, I had a predestined relationship with my peers and clients. I had been reluctant to clarify the truth to them and persuade them to do the three withdrawals out of fear that I might be reported and targeted. As a result, I missed many opportunities. With Master’s guidance, I began to bring up the topic with them.

Most of my peers were legal professionals and independent specialists who were well aware of, or had been victimized by, the CCP’s corruption of the judiciary system, law enforcement abuses and violation of the law. I explained to them that the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa violated the constitution and the law, and I persuaded them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

I’ve worked at several law firms, and most of my coworkers accepted my truth-clarification and agreed to do the three withdrawals.

My clients were another predestined group. Lawyers are generally respected by their clients and have opportunities for in-depth conversations, so clarifying the truth to them was relatively easy. I wanted more opportunities to clarify the truth, so I accepted all cases unconditionally, regardless of how minor the cases were or how little the clients were able to pay.

One client who lived out of town planned to visit me, but his trip kept being delayed. I knew it was interference, so I drove more than 100 kilometers to meet him and provide a free consultation. During the consultation, I persuaded several people to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.

I have had several thousand clients and most of them agreed to do the three withdrawals.

Helping Save My Classmates Who Work In the Public Security, Procuratorial, and Judicial Systems

When COVID broke out in 2020, I came to understand that the time for Fa rectification of the human world was approaching and time was of the essence.

I felt that I’d fallen short in helping save people, so I began approaching strangers on the street while shopping. I successfully helped people from various professions quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, including shop clerks, chefs, janitors, repair workers, hairdressers, and tea artists.

As Fa-rectification has progressed, it’s been easier these past two years to clarify the truth and persuade people to do the three withdrawals. My college reunion was a good example.

The first reunion was in 2014. I showed my classmates videos such as False Fire and Coming For You on my cellphone, but most of them worked in the public security, procuratorial, or judicial systems and were deeply poisoned by the CCP propaganda. Few were willing to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

The second reunion was in 2024. Apart from a few stubborn classmates, dozens of others agreed to do the three withdrawals. My former head teacher, a veteran CCP member who tried to persuade me to stop practicing Falun Dafa, realized that the CCP was wicked and agreed to quit.

When I spoke with a classmate who was a well-known professor, he told me that he had already quit. He thanked me and said, “Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people.”

I can sense that people are awakening and waiting for us to save them.

Nowadays in China, natural and man-made disasters are happening one after another, the economy is in a steep decline, social conflicts are getting worse, one scandal after another is being exposed, and multiple controversies are spreading. The CCP is notorious and has lost its last shred of credibility.

This is a great opportunity for Dafa practitioners to step out to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the CCP.

Learning by Experience

After 20 years of helping people do the three withdrawals, with Master’s guidance and drawing on the experience of other practitioners, I’ve refined my method.

I normally begin by listing the CCP’s crimes to build consensus before I ask people to do the three withdrawals. Chinese people, especially southerners, are typically reserved. If you don’t know them and suddenly try to persuade them to quit the CCP, most people can’t accept it and become guarded, leading to failure.

I begin by making small talk to build rapport, then talk about scandals to spark their outrage at the CCP’s tyranny. I naturally ask if they’re members of the organizations and persuade them to quit according to the situation.

I typically don’t tell them that I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner, because they would think I’m being political. I learned this the hard way and stopped saying that I’m a practitioner up front.

I usually clarify the truth about Falun Dafa after helping them do the withdrawals.

I often quote The Communist Manifesto when persuading people to withdraw, particularly the line, “A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of communism.”

I once encouraged a business owner in the healthcare industry to quit the CCP, but she seemed indifferent. I said, “The CCP is the devil. You can go online and check the Communist Manifesto. It says that the CCP is a specter. Isn’t that a demon? Isn’t it terrifying that you’re on the devil’s team?”

She immediately checked the manifesto, was convinced, and agreed to quit the CCP. Similar situations have occurred many times. It’s very effective to turn the CCP’s own words against itself.

Studying the Fa Well Is the Foundation, and Cultivating Well Is a Prerequisite

I’ve realized that it’s really not important what method you use to persuade people to do the three withdrawals; what matters is that we are saving them. As the saying goes, “Sharpening the axe doesn’t delay the woodcutter.” If we are to do this work well, be qualified to help people quit the CCP and truly achieve the goal of saving others, we must study the Fa well. This is fundamental to understand why people need to do the three withdrawals and to understand the preciousness of human life.

Master told us, “Let me tell you, every person in the entire world was at one point part of my family...” (Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003)

We must truly regard the people of the world as Master’s family and our own family, and help save them.

Cultivating ourselves well is a prerequisite. We should send forth righteous thoughts more often and eliminate our human notions. Only by transcending the human level can we save people who came from a higher level.

There is a saying, “Stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.” Reading Minghui articles about how other practitioners persuade people to do the three withdrawals can strengthen our righteous thoughts and improve our efficiency.

To widen our knowledge about the CCP and help people see through their misconceptions, we should read not only Disintegrating the Culture of the Chinese Communist Party, The Ultimate Goal of Communism, and How the Specter of Communism Is Ruling Our World, but also make time to read articles or books such as The Secret Origins of the Chinese Communist Party, The Naked Communist, The Black Book of Communism, The Road to Marx’s Demonization, and Mao: The Unknown Story.

Additionally, keeping up with current events that shape public opinion provides topics for casual conversations, so we can naturally steer the discussion to doing the three withdrawals to stay safe.

Conclusion

Thanks to Master’s merciful protection, I have been able to safely continue helping people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Thank you, Master!

Although I have helped save some people, I still fall far short of Master’s expectations.

My reach is still narrow, limited to people I’m familiar with. I lack the determination shown by Dafa practitioners in the north, who seize every opportunity to clarify the truth and persuade people to withdraw wherever they go. I’m still not yet able to openly clarify the truth to strangers I meet on the street and persuade them to do the three withdrawals.

I have missed many opportunities because I have fallen short in my cultivation and my xinxing is limited. I have not yet reached the state of my heart being unmoved and I often have fear, concerns about saving face, and competitiveness,

I will grasp every minute to do the three things well and fulfill my prehistoric vow. In particular, I will break through my attachment of fear when approaching strangers to persuade them to do the three withdrawals. I will learn to persuade multiple people at the same time, and help more people quit the CCP.

This concludes my limited understanding. Please kindly point out anything improper.
