(Minghui.org) I live in a small village of about a hundred households on the edge of the county. Twelve villagers practiced Falun Dafa before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution. After the persecution began I was the only one left.
Out of fear, I dared not talk about Dafa. I distributed some informational materials about Falun Dafa at night. I later clarified the truth about the persecution to family members; then I talked to friends and old classmates. The first four years after the persecution began I only managed to help about five people per year quit the CCP. I was gradually able to clarify the truth to people I didn’t know. I began going to distant villages and farms to clarify the truth. But out of fear, I was afraid the people I knew would find out. This went on for about three years, but I was able to help nearly seventy people quit the CCP each year. In the process many of my human attachments were exposed and eliminated, such as saving face, feeling embarrassed, and fear.
I wanted to talk about Dafa to the people in my village. In fact, many people knew I practiced Falun Dafa. But, out of fear I avoided talking about Falun Dafa.
I decided to make a breakthrough. I usually started conversation like this: “Do you know I practice Falun Dafa?” Some said yes and some said no. I continued, “I wanted to let you know that Falun Dafa is good and there’s nothing wrong with practicing it. There are so many natural and man-made disasters these days. Remember, you’ll be blessed if you treat Falun Dafa kindly. I wish you the best!”
Some said they would remember, some just smiled, others looked disgusted, and some were silent. I understood their situations.
When the other villagers saw me going out every day to talk about Falun Dafa some thought that I was looking for trouble instead of enjoying a peaceful life. They said, “He never does any real work.” I was not moved. Some kind-hearted people worried about my safety and privately advised me not to talk about Falun Dafa. I thanked them and used the opportunity to tell them about Dafa. People gradually stopped gossiping about me. I realized this was a cultivation opportunity, and I got rid of many human attachments, such as a fighting mentality, seeking comfort, lust, etc..
As time passed, the more I clarified the truth to people, the faster my human attachments were eliminated. My righteous thoughts became stronger, and my fear was gone. Nowadays everyone in the village knows I practice Falun Dafa. I no longer need to explain when I talk about Dafa to the villagers.
I say, “I was born in this village, and I have a great affinity with every villager. Now there are constant plagues, and natural and man-made disasters, so I want to tell everyone how to stay safe.”
Some people believe me and some don’t. No matter what, I give everyone a chance. I tell people that heaven will eliminate the CCP, and anyone who has joined it will be held accountable for its crimes. Most people listen and quit the CCP.
I visit village officials’ homes and advise them to quit the CCP. Whenever I have an opportunity to talk to villagers who are CCP members I advise them to quit, and most of them do. A small portion of them haven’t yet quit but they still have a chance. Most of my relatives, friends, and old classmates have quit the CCP. In the past seven or eight years, not only my village, but the surrounding villages, parks, shopping centers, and markets have all been good places for me to clarify the truth.
In order to save more people, I use different approaches depending on the person's gender, social class, age, etc.
I noticed an elderly gentleman sitting outside a small shop on the main street. He was tall and handsome, and it was clear that he wasn’t a commoner. I slowly walked towards him, but didn’t immediately talk to him. I smiled at him and said, “You look so handsome.”
He smiled and said, “I don’t look as good as before. I’m now in my 70s.”
We started talking, and he told me he was 73. His father was an officer in the army, so he grew up in the army. He went to school, joined the army, and then studied at the military academy, was promoted and became an officer. After ten years in the army, he was transferred to work in the municipal government. After he retired he came back to live in his hometown.
“You are blessed. Your life has really been smooth,” I said.
We chatted about some problems in society: Modern people only care about money. They are arrogant and have no sense of morality; the relationship between men and women is in chaos. Government officials are corrupt, people have no respect for heaven and earth, so natural and man-made disasters take place. The man agreed with me.
I said, “You were an officer so you see things clearly and have a good understanding. Society is rotten and people’s hearts have become so bad. All of these are the result of the CCP brainwashing people. You may have heard that heaven will destroy the CCP and only by quitting it can one remain safe. Heaven is watching us. How about quitting the CCP?”
He agreed happily and quit.
Every day, except for eating, sleeping, and doing some necessary chores, I do the three things. I study the Fa in the afternoon and go out to advise people to quit the CCP in the morning. I don’t pay attention to how many people I help. As long as I go out that day, there are always people waiting to be saved, from three to five and up to over 20 people.
Many people know that I, an elderly man, often advise people to quit the CCP. Perhaps officials in the county, township, and police station know it as well. With Master’s protection and the power of Dafa, I continue to do the three things. Without Master I would achieve nothing. I feel I’m so lucky. I’m so grateful for Master’s merciful protection!
