The Bravery of Falun Gong Practitioners in a Fire Fighting Effort Moves the Leaders of a Township

December 15, 2001 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) One day in May, a fire broke out on the side of a road in a certain mountainous area in northeastern China. As the area was heavily wooded, the fire spread out of control quickly. All the officials of the village and the township rushed to the scene of the fire and tried to organize the villagers to put it out.

I participated in the fire fighting as an ordinary villager. In the group of people who participated in the fire fighting effort, several were Falun Gong practitioners. They were always the ones that rushed to the very front. Wherever the fire was burning the hottest, there they were. By the time the fire was finally put out, all of their clothes were charred. At that point, the head of the township went up to a Falun Gong practitioner and asked him, "Are you still practicing Falun Gong?" The practitioner firmly replied, "This practice is so good. How is it possible for me not to practice it? Do you know why we were so brave today? That is the mighty power of Dafa. We are starting from being good people and trying to be kind in everything that we do. If everyone were like this, how wonderful this world would be!" The general secretary of the township's branch of the Party declared in front of everyone, "Today, you proved with your own actions how kind you are. From this moment on, I will make it legal for you to go ahead and continue practicing Falun Gong within the township. I will not interfere with your practice. This is one thing that I can guarantee." Another official said, "Next time you go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, I will drive an Audi myself to Beijing to bring you back."

The selfless deeds of Dafa practitioners moved the villagers and let them realize that Dafa practitioners are good people with high moral standards and worthy of respect.
