(Clearwisdom.net) We encounter people with different attitudes during our efforts in the Fa-rectification process when explaining the goodness of Dafa, exposing the evil CCP and asking people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Some like what they hear, some do not; some are passionate and some are hateful. I am going to share something different, having met three special individuals.
1. A "Retarded" Boy
Last summer, three of us drove to another practitioner's home and stopped at a fruit market along the way. At the first booth, I saw a woman farmer arranging her fruit. I stood and attempted to explain about the Fa and the persecution to her while buying some fruit.
When I was just about to hand the woman the money, a boy who looked to be mentally retarded came over. He climbed on my back and stared at my bag. The woman explained, "He is retarded; don't let him bother you." I smiled, "This is ok," and turned to the boy said, "You could get better if you say 'Falun Dafa is good.'" He smiled at me. The fruit seller returned my change. All of a sudden she shouted in shock, "Why does he kneel?" I looked at my back and saw the boy kneeling down and smiling at me again. I walked over and reminded him to repeat, "Falun Dafa is good!"
The woman continued, "His parents are healthy and kind. It was unfortunate that the boy was born unable to speak." A few moments later I heard a voice from the boy's mouth, "Thank you, big sister." The two other practitioners were in conversation with other vendors at their booths and saw what happened. People gathered and they were excited that the boy could talk. It felt that we knew them long ago. We took the opportunity to explain about Falun Gong and the persecution and asked people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They agreed, even the children who had participated in the Young Pioneers. They were appreciative.
After we finished, we asked for directions and found that we had driven more than a dozen miles too far. I had to drive back the way we came, but when we went back and saw a large, clear sign along the road giving directions, we realized the reason for traveling too far. It was because a "retarded" boy was waiting for us.
2. A "Problem" Classmate
He was my high school and college classmate; people thought he had a problem. He did not interact with others and did not know how to solve a problem when a conflict occurred that resulted in an embarrassing situation. He would stare at you and not say a word. This happened when he took the stage, defended his thesis, and a teacher asked him a question. The classmates concluded that he had a mental problem.
Recently, after a group of classmates gathered at the time of the CCP national holiday in October, a practitioner, my high school classmate and I decided to take him a DVD of the gathering, and in the meantime, tell him about Falun Gong and the persecution. Before we met I hesitated, but when we started talking, I discovered he knew the truth, had clear thoughts, and understood the CCP's evil acts. I did not believe he could be a CCP member and said, "You may consider to quit from Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers." He said, "I am a CCP member, too." "Ah, I did not know that. Why don't you quit the CCP? " He replied, "That is great!" By the time we left, we handed him a DVD of the Shen Yun Performance. He truly thanked us what we had done for him. The next day I got a text message from him, "The Shen Yun performance is incredible!" He was the first person who gave me a feedback on Shen Yun.
3. A Farmer
In 2008, I had the opportunity to participate in a relative's countryside wedding; chatted with the other guests, gave them cards with messages about Falun Gong and asked them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The guests departed after the banquet. I sat on the traditional country bed made of mud bricks connected to an oven and chatted with my relatives. A man approached me and asked in his loud voice, "I heard that you had a name card?" I realized that he was asking for Dafa material. I handed to him a card, and he happily accepted it and repeated "Falun Dafa is good." Later on I saw him in the yard and he continued repeating the good words. He came to me asked, "It is good for me to repeat this sentence, isn't it?" I smiled, "Of course!"
