(Minghui.org) Ailin, 73, and I (I am 74) both started practicing Falun Gong in 1999, just as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution. We got to know each other in 2010, and since then we have been talking to people about Falun Gong, exposing the persecution, and awakening people to the truth. I would like to share a few stories about our activities.
First Meet
In the summer of 2010, I took my two-year-old grandson to a square to play, and Ailin was there with her granddaughter. The two kids started to play together and I started to talk to Ailin. As soon as I mentioned Falun Gong, she smiled and said, “We are fellow practitioners!”
Ailin joined my Fa study group, and the coordinator arranged for us to go out together to talk to people about Falun Gong. She said we likely have a deep, predestined connection. I replied with a smile, “Yes, Dafa connects us. Master arranges everything.”
To make sure every family in our area gets Falun Gong materials and there are no duplications, the coordinator divided the area into blocks and each group took care of one block. Ailin and I were responsible for a cottage family area and two large villages.
Dogs Stop Barking
When we went to countryside to distribute materials, we encountered a major difficulty—there were many dogs. Before we reached the door, the dog would start to bark, and soon all the dogs were barking. We didn’t know what to do, so we asked Master and talked to the dog in our minds, “We came to save your owner. Please stop barking!” Amazingly, they stopped barking as if they understood what we said. Some were lying on the ground in front of the door, staring at us. We sent out a thought to each family after we left a brochure, “Please read this. Do not tear it up or throw it away.”
Most people in the countryside are kind, and thanked us if they saw us. There were some who believed the CCP’s propaganda that slandered Falun Gong, and they cursed us and threatened to call the police. However, we were very clear about what we were doing, and didn’t let people’s reactions affect us. Every time we finished distributing materials, we always went back to double check. If they’d been thrown out, we picked them up, and we put them back if they had blown away.
A Mr. Yang read the materials and was aware of the truth. He gave us the names of the six members of his family and asked us to help them quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Tacit Cooperation
We once went to a village and saw three women chatting. We went over to them. However, as soon as we mentioned Falun Gong, one of them shouted, “I believe in the CCP! The CCP gives me money. It gave you food and yet you are against it—you have no conscience. Don’t talk about Falun Gong, I don’t want to hear it. Please leave.”
She looked menacing, and I started to send forth righteous thoughts. Ailin smiled and said, “Don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health. If you don’t want to listen, that’s fine. I will talk to the other two. The CCP doesn’t work, so where does it get the money? Isn’t it all from our taxes? Isn’t it all our own, hard-earned money? Everyone knows that almost all government officers are corrupt, the higher the rank, the more corrupt.” Another woman said, “Indeed. Nowadays, people are selfish.The authorities only think about themselves, no one cares about the people.”
Ailin talked about the CCP’s many campaigns and how each resulted in many deaths. She mentioned the Tiananmen Square self-immolation hoax and how the CCP defamed Falun Gong in all the government-controlled media. She said, “Do you remember, when you joined the CCP or its youth organizations, you swore to defend it with your life? However, due to the evil nature of the CCP, it will be eliminated. Quitting it is the way to keep safe.”
The two women understood and agreed to quit while the third woman just stood there with her head down.
We went to the same village again later, and we met that woman again. This time she greeted us and asked for Falun Dafa information materials.
Many people have been deceived by the CCP’s lies and many are tempted by material benefits. For example, some said, “I only know money. I only trust those who give me money.”
We once spoke to a middle-aged man who listened to us so quietly we thought he didn’t know how to speak, when he suddenly said, “I don’t believe in anything except money, which is the only good thing. Without money we can’t do anything. You are so old. Why don’t you stay home and take care of your grandchildren? Why go so far away? The currently administration is good, we have a good life. I think you are looking for trouble.”
We were not bothered. Ailin smiled as usual and said, “Exactly. We are old and yet we have come here from so far away. Why? All we want is for more people be aware of the truth and not be deceived by the CCP. There are so many natural and man-made disasters, we just want you to be safe. If we’d stayed home, how could we have met you?”
Ailin told him about the history of the CCP, how hundreds of thousands of people have died in its different movements, and why destroying the CCP is heaven’s will. She explained why he should quit Party if he joined it or any its youth organizations.
He understood and agreed to quit. Before we left, he apologized and thanked us. We told him, “The one you should thank is Falun Dafa’s Master Li.” He said, “Thank you, Master Li!”
Dafa Pamphlets Protected from Water
Many amazing things have happened on my path of cultivation, and there is one thing that I will never forget.
It was a Saturday afternoon in the summer of 2016. We were studying the Fa as usual. It started to pour half an hour later. When I was about to leave, the water in the street was knee-deep. I had to carry a large bag of materials and push my bike on the sidewalk. My home is about three miles away.
Just as I crossed the second intersection, I looked back and noticed that the bag on my bike was gone. I was very worried—the bag must have fallen into the water and all the materials would be soaking wet. But I had promised to go out and distribute these materials with another practitioner. What should I do? I turned around to look for the bag as I said to Master, “Master, I was wrong. I shouldn’t be so careless. Please keep the materials intact. Fellow practitioners worked hard to make them.”
I walked back about 200 meters and saw my bag on a corner on top of a big rock. I put my hand inside the bag. It was dry! I couldn’t have been more grateful to Master. After I got home I opened the bag. There were 120 pamphlets, 10 books, and over 20 stickers – all were dry except one that had a wet corner. I told Ailin the next day. She was moved, too. “Indeed, Master is with us all the time. We have no reason not to do the three things well.”
People Remind Us to Be Safe
In 2019, Ailin and I planned to go to a village fair three days hence. It was cloudy that day. Ailin asked, “According to the weather forecast, it is supposed to rain today. Should we go?” I said, “Sure, we are Falun Dafa practitioners!”
We recited Master’s poems as we rode our bikes, and arrived at our destination 20 miles away in a short time. We started at the north end of the village and worked our way south, then went to the village fair. We gave Falun Dafa information to everyone we met. One villager said, “You guys came on a day like this? You really work hard.”
A woman came over to us and said, “I can tell you are Falun Gong practitioners at a glance. You might not know what happened in our village. We had a factory that made balloons. The government closed it because some of the balloons had ‘Falun Dafa is good’ printed on them The factory manager was arrested and the incident is still under investigation. I heard that there many plainclothes officers in this area.” We thanked her and were pleased that more people were aware of the truth.
We then decided not go to the fair. Instead, we walked around the village and distributed all our pamphlets. More than a dozen people agreed to quit the CCP. Then we headed home. It still cloudy but it didn’t start to rain until right after we arrived home.
Clarifying the truth and saving people is my responsibility. It has become a daily routine. During the pandemic lockdown, I couldn’t go out, so I spent most of my time studying and memorizing the Fa. When the city reopened, Ailin and I resumed distributing materials.
Our footprints cover the streets, orchards, parks, shopping malls, and markets in dozens of villages in our county. We are so fortunate to be Master’s disciples. We will never stop saving people.
