(Clearwisdom.net) I have an uncle, my father's younger cousin, who is 77 years old this year. He is a farmer and used to be a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) member.

Since the book the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, many people that have understood the truth have withdrawn from the CCP. I went to my uncle's home many times to help him understand and withdraw from the CCP, but he chose to remain silent and refused to quit the CCP. Several times I felt that my uncle had been heavily brainwashed and could not be saved.

After the video of the 2009 Shen Yun Performing Arts performance was made available, I took the video with me, as well as other truth-clarification materials, and went to my uncle's home. After we finished watching the DVD, my uncle started to chat with me for the first time.

He told me about his experiences in the past. When the CCP started the "anti-revolutionary" movement, my uncle was 18 years old. At that time the CCP's slogan was: "If you bear a grudge against someone, you can get revenge; if you have a grievance against somebody, you can seek justice." Because of this, Chinese people's willingness to fight was aroused to an unprecedented extent. For example, if one person had issues with another, a possible solution was for the first person to simply kill the other or to get someone else to do it for them. People were being killed every day back then. A person might be alive one day but be killed the next. During that time of terror, everybody felt insecure.

My uncle was only 18 years old and full of enthusiasm at the time. In order to show his loyalty to Mao and the CCP, he became a Militiaman and witnessed how a person was killed. It was something he could never forget. As a Militiaman, he had duties to perform at the execution. His duty was to follow the chief's order: "If someone dares to disturb or try to prevent the execution, a Militiaman has to use his spear to impale the intruder." Every Militiaman carried a red-tasseled spear when on duty.

The person to be executed was called Ren Huanwen, who was the second master at an oil mill. The method of execution to be used was called "to dismember a body." A person killed in this way would have the major parts of their body cut off. The executioners would lift up the victim's body parts and shout out each part of the body as it was being severed.

"It was not easy for a person to die this way," My uncle said. "When Ren Huanwen was dismembered, he did not make any noise. Only when the knife entered his body would he open his mouth. Lots of blood then gushed out. By that time, Ren Huanwen no longer had a human appearance, but he was still alive. When they saw that he was not dead, the executioners began to tear out internal organs until Ren Huanwen's final breath."

Listening to my uncle's recollection, my eyes were filled with tears. He continued, "My pitiful compatriot, who suffered a painful death, lost his life to the knife controlled by the red evil spirit of the CCP. People lived in trembling fear for several decades." I asked my uncle, "Is that the real history, what is described in the Nine Commentaries?" My uncle replied, "The situation was even worse and more terrible than described in the Nine Commentaries." I now understand why people are frightened and often run away when practitioners try to help them withdraw from the CCP. The fear is deeply embedded in the hearts of the Chinese people through decades of terror spread by the CCP.

My uncle said, "Sometimes young people ask me, 'Is the CCP really evil?' I have usually replied that I am getting old and cannot recall the past... But, I did not dare to tell people the truth!"

The CCP wants the Chinese people to forget their history and is actively eradicating it. The older generation is frightened to tell the truth under the CCP's rule. In time, the younger generation will not know the CCP's murderous history, because they did not experience any of it. This is what the CCP wants. This is why the CCP blocks off the media and Internet, as the lies are continuing.

I understood my uncle's fear. I also understood Teacher's mercy. Teacher knows about the misery of the Chinese people under CCP rule. The Buddha Fa is boundless. I really hope all Chinese can understand the truth, eliminate the CCP's evil spirit in order to be saved, and welcome their bright future.
