(Minghui.org) For more than 20 years, Falun Dafa practitioners have manned an information site in Montreal’s Chinatown to introduce Dafa and raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. They’ve persevered every day, rain or shine.
Falun Dafa practitioners meditate in the snow.
Practitioners talk to passers-by about the persecution and collect signatures on a petition calling for its end.
A Chinese woman in her 50s asked a practitioner, Ms. Li, how she could quit the Communist Youth League. She said she’d learned about the CCP’s crimes, which are beyond her imagination. “The CCP is so evil. I must quit it.”
Ms. Li told her to remember the two phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and said that reciting them sincerely can ensure safety when one faces danger. Ms. Li was delighted and thanked the practitioner.
Another woman told practitioners, “I joined the CCP and the Young Pioneers. Please help me quit them.” She told Ms. Li that she often watches programs about Falun Dafa, and she understood the true nature of the CCP.
Chinese Student Quits the CCP
A Chinese student asked another practitioner, Ms. Lin, what benefits there were to practicing Falun Dafa. Ms. Lin explained that Dafa can help resolve illness and help one keep fit. She said that practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and strive to be better people.
The young man had many questions and Ms. Lin answered them. She said she has practiced Falun Dafa for nearly 30 years and has benefited both physically and mentally. The young man was surprised when Ms. Lin told him she was nearly 70 years old. He said she looked much younger.
Ms. Lin told him that the CCP’s persecution is wrong and explained why millions of Chinese have quit the Party for a safe future to avoid being implicated when the Party is held accountable for its crimes.
The young man listened carefully and was visibly moved. He agreed to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers with an alias. Ms. Lin gave him a copy of the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and some brochures. He was happy to take them and thanked Ms. Lin.
A Woman in a Wheelchair Can Walk
An older Chinese immigrant from Northeast China frequently passed by the booth. Although practitioners talked to him many times and advised him to quit the CCP, he did not agree.
Ms. Lin said to him one day, “So many people have talked to you, but you won’t agree to quit. We just want what’s best for you. The CCP has committed so many crimes, and Heaven will disintegrate it. Quitting the CCP can ensure a safe future.” This time the man listened and said, “Okay, I quit the Young Pioneers.”
He came back to Chinatown a few days later, pushing his wife in a wheelchair. Ms. Lin advised her to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and she agreed. Ms. Lin asked her to remember and recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The couple came back to Chinatown two weeks later, and this time, the woman was not in a wheelchair but was walking next to her husband. She said her husband had helped her get there. The old woman could soon walk by herself. When Ms. Lin asked her if she recited the two phrases, she said she recited them frequently.
Elderly Immigrants Quit the Party
There are many elderly immigrants in Chinatown who have lived in Canada for years. They frequently see practitioners there. Many of these people were misled by the CCP’s propaganda and refused to quit the Party. Practitioners talked to them again and again, and eventually their hostility and prejudice lessened.
One older man was hostile whenever he saw practitioners. But practitioners kept talking to him kindly. After listening for years, he finally agreed to quit the CCP. Afterwards, he greeted practitioners warmly.
Another elderly man was a university teacher before he retired. Practitioners talked to him many times and advised him to quit the Party. He refused and even got angry, “I don’t believe anything. Why quit the Party?” Practitioners greeted him kindly and asked him to recite the two phrases, which they told him were good for his health. Gradually he changed his mind and agreed to quit the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers. His wife was a general accountant in the CCP’s army, and she turned away whenever she saw practitioners. She also quit the Party later on and now greets practitioners.
Your Perseverance Is Outstanding
The winters in Montreal are long and cold. This year it has been even colder, with many days below -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). Despite the wind and snow, practitioners continue to demonstrate the exercises and talk to people. Many people were moved and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. Many expressed support and encouragement.
A young man stood across the street and watched practitioners one snowy day. Ms. Lin talked to him and he agreed to quit the Party. He said earnestly, “It is so cold. You should wear warm clothes. Take care.”
Another young man stopped to talk and Ms. Lin asked him if he knew about Falun Dafa. He said he is from Hong Kong and knows Falun Dafa well. He continued, “You are outstanding to persevere here year round. With your perseverance, the CCP will disintegrate. You will succeed. Falun Dafa is good!”
