- Practitioner C used to work in a store. His former co-worker told him: "One time two people from the subdistrict office came to the store looking for you. They looked like they had nothing better to do than bullying good people. I asked them: 'Why are you always pestering C? He is a good person. He never cheats or hurts anybody. Why do you keep harassing him just because he practices Falun Gong?' The two became red in the face and left. Ever since then, those people don't dare to come into the store to look for you anymore. Now they just peek from outside the door."
- Having been deceived by the Jiang regime's lies and propaganda, my sister became hostile toward Dafa and even tore down truth clarifying material from the wall. As I kept clarifying the facts to her, she gradually came to understand. She said: "I have been deliberately avoiding you. But I realize that you have truly become a better person after you started practicing Dafa, and your health has definitely improved. Initially, I was confused and asked many people from different regions whether they had heard of insanity, murder and arson from practicing Falun Gong. Everybody said no. So why are so many such cases reported on TV. They told me not to take the government's propaganda too seriously. After getting to know some of you practitioners recently, I realized that all of you are such good people." When she read the facts about the persecution, she was quite indignant and often told her friends about them.
- During a school re-union, my husband passed out truth-clarifying material to his former classmates and asked them to treat Dafa kindly. He also told them about the health improvement he experienced after he started practicing Falun Gong. After hearing him talk, his classmates expressed their respect toward Dafa. A classmate who worked in the Anti-corruption Bureau said: "Give me this (refers to the truth material), I respectfully accept it with both hands. I will definitely read it carefully at home. I have absolutely no bad thoughts toward Falun Gong."
- One time, I went to buy ice cream and found out after I got home that the store had given me an extra box. I got ready to return it. My sister, a non-practitioner, said: "It is only a box of ice cream. Why bother?" I said: "We cannot accept things that do not belong to us. The businessman will lose money on the deal!" She said: "Go ahead and return it then, you insist on being a laughing stock." We went and returned the ice cream to the store. The people in the store remarked that nowadays it was very hard to find such honest people. I told them: "I practice Falun Gong. Our Teacher asks us to be good people. This is what I should do." They were all very surprised to hear that. A worker there said: "Really? Falun Gong must be really good." Seeing this, my sister told me later: "You practitioners are really good people. I should practice Falun Gong as well." Not long after, she began to practice Falun Gong.
