(Minghui.org) “Little Pink” (or fen hong in Chinese) refers to young people in China who hotheadedly defend the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and attack anyone who expresses opinions different from the CCP. Xinyue, who holds a Ph.D. degree and is a senior lecturer at an Australian University, was such a “little pink” while she was still in China.
Due to the systematic brainwashing by the CCP, Xinyue believed everything the CCP said and considered any opinion different from that of the regime as an attack on China. Because of the CCP’s countless defamatory propaganda against Falun Gong, she was always fearful of and stayed away from the practice.
After she moved to Australia, Xinyue experienced numerous health problems. Neither Western or Chinese medicine was able to help her. In the end, a friend recommended Falun Gong to her. She took up the practice and soon regained her health. After another friend showed her the video “False Fire,” she was shocked to learn that the so-called self-immolators in the CCP’s staged self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square were not Falun Gong practitioners as the regime claimed. She went on to read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and The Ultimate Goal of Communism. The books helped her gain a deeper understanding of the vicious nature of the CCP.
“I had trusted the CCP since childhood, and I never expected it to fool me all those years,” Xinyue said. “Even the textbooks are full of lies.”
Thinking that so many Chinese citizens are still poisoned by these intoxicating lies, she began to make phone calls to China to expose the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong and other innocent people, and urge them to quit the CCP and its two junior organizations (Youth League and Young Pioneers).
Quitting the CCP
Xinyue has been making phone calls to China for three years, and she is glad to see more and more Chinese residents learning about the evil nature of the CCP. Very often when a phone call is connected, the recipient says he or she has already renounced their membership in the CCP organizations. Some said they received similar phone calls before Xinyue, and other practitioners had already helped them quit the CCP. There were also people who quit the CCP on their own after circumventing the Internet blockade and accessing the Quitting the CCP website themselves. Still others learned about the importance of severing ties with the CCP from their relatives or friends who are practitioners. Xinyue also talked to someone who had quit the CCP more than ten years ago.
One man thanked Xinyue for her effort and said he had withdrawn from the CCP organizations already. “I have several close friends who are also CCP members and I am working on it [helping them quit the CCP],” he added. “I know this is important and the CCP will collapse soon.” Another CCP member Xinyue talked to not only happily quit the CCP, but also offered to help. “I have lots of friends who are CCP members,” he continued. “How about I form a social media group so that you can explain all this to them?”
Another Chinese resident said he did not really know what the CCP was until he read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. “The CCP is bad and evil, and that is why I severed ties with it immediately,” he said. “I also shared information with others and even argued with those who did not listen. Anyway, I know Falun Gong practitioners have suffered a lot for telling people the facts. Thank you!”
Story of Another Little Pink
Tao, who was born in 2000, has a Master’s degree. When he received a phone call from Xinyue urging him to quit the CCP, he accused her of betraying China. Xinyue told him that over 80 million citizens had died at the hands of the CCP, but he was still stubborn, thinking that those were bad people.
Xinyue then brought up the topic of forced organ harvesting, which Tao had not heard about before. Influenced by the CCP’s propaganda, however, he said that the forced organ harvesting may have also happened in other countries. “But China is the only country that has a state-organized crime like this through the collaboration of the justice system, courts, prisons, and military hospitals,” Xinyue explained. “It is happening on a large scale and it mainly targets Falun Gong practitioners who want to be better people by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” She then played an audio testimony recording of a former police officer who witnessed the forced organ harvesting from a young female practitioner.
Tao was shocked and decided to quit the CCP immediately. He also said he would tell his parents about it. In addition, he apologized to Xinyue for his bad attitude in the beginning. While reminding her about safety due to the CCP’s censorship and Internet monitoring, he was eager to learn more about the CCP’s bad deeds to help other people quit the CCP as well.
“The CCP Will Target Anyone Who is Good”
Many of the people that Xinyue called said they had long since learned how the CCP made up lies to defame innocent Falun Gong practitioners. Some had seen practitioners doing group exercises when they traveled abroad. One woman said, “I have seen you practitioners doing group meditation in Kuala Lumpur. And I can tell you are good people.” A man said he was a Christian but he knew that Falun Gong is good. “The practice is well received in more than 100 countries and is suppressed only in China. Think about this and you can figure out what is going on,” he explained.
When Xinyue told another man how the CCP defamed Falun Gong using the staged self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square, quite a few people said they knew the regime was always lying. “The only facts reported by People’s Daily is the weather forecast,” one of them said. “The regime is very experienced in manipulating public opinions,” another person added. “Falun Gong is so upright, so of course the CCP cannot tolerate that. The CCP will target anyone who is good,” someone else explained.
Staying Out of Danger
Gang lives close to the border of Hebei and Shandong Province and runs a trucking company. He said, “The persecution here is very severe and many practitioners were arrested, including two who were taken into custody just the other day. But these practitioners are very brave and they continued going out to hand out materials to passersby so that people can learn the facts. I respect them.”
Some practitioners had told Gang the real story of Falun Gong years before and reminded him to recite “Falun Dafa is good” as well as “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” when in danger. Gang had congenital heart failure but nothing helped. He was once making deliveries and got stuck in the traffic on the highway when suddenly his heart ached and he could not breathe. It was impossible to seek medical treatment at the time and he felt he was dying. “Right at that moment, I remembered the phrases Falun Gong practitioners had told me. So I recited them and asked Master Li (founder of Falun Gong) for help,” he recalled. “I said that if I could survive this time, I would tell others about the facts of Falun Gong too. Then I felt alive again and my heart disease is much better now. Thank you, Master Li!”
Learning the Practice
In the past few years, when the pandemic was ravaging China, many people have been looking for ways to improve their bodies and minsd. One man said to Xinyue excitedly, “I’m glad you called me! I was thinking about learning Falun Gong, but I don’t know where to start.” Another person was relieved to sever ties with the CCP and said. “Yes, I agree that the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are very important for us. Could you tell me how to practice Falun Gong?”
On one occasion, three men, all CCP members, answered Xinyue’s call together and decided to quit the CCP. One of them said, “Back in 2014, someone taught us how to practice Falun Gong, but he moved away. Could you send us some books or direct us to someone in our area to help us learn the practice?”
One businessman said that money was not a problem for him, but pursuing a spiritual path in this chaotic society was not easy. “I heard that Falun Gong helps one to improve mind and body without going to temples or churches. I am very interested in it,” he said to Xinyue. “Could you send me some books or an exercise instruction video? I want to practice it too!”
