(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from Shandong Province. My father is a village cadre who was originally in the military. He does not have much education and had been indoctrinated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades. Although he knows that the CCP is rotten to the core, he was still poisoned by Party culture. After my mother and I began practicing Falun Dafa, my father witnessed tremendous changes in my mother’s health, so he did not object to our practicing.

After the CCP began the persecution of Falun Dafa in 1999, my mother and I were constantly harassed, and my family was under great stress. My father, concerned for me and about maintaining a reputation, became angry with my mother for practicing Dafa. He complained that we should not have kept practicing, and said a lot of disrespectful things about Dafa. Mom, timid and overcautious, was especially fearful of dad's fiery temper, so she always accommodated him. As she did not have enough strong righteous thoughts, she did not dare to clarify the truth to him. In this way the situation worsened.

Later, during sharing, fellow practitioners told my mother that she must get rid of her fear and clarify the facts to my father gradually, even by just talking to him with a few words or one fact at a time. Through this, even though he was deeply deceived by the CCP's lies, he gradually changed. Mom thus gathered up all her courage and began clarifying the truth to him. Although dad did not accept what she said, he did not become angry.

Once, 610 Office agents came to harass us, and my father told them what he had heard from my mother, “Outside of China, the whole world knows that Falun Gong is good. Even the wives of the Central Political Bureau Standing Committee members practiced it. Jiang Zemin is the only person who opposes it.” The agents were surprised and merely replied, “Oh, you know quite a lot.”

One day, the 610 Office agents returned. Dad again used what mom had told him to question the staff: “You say that Falun Gong is ‘against humanity and society,’ but the whole world supports Dafa. Are the people of those countries not human? Are their societies not normal societies?” The agents were speechless, and even the director was unable to utter a single word. They left dejectedly.

Since then, every time 610 Office agents come around, they ask whether my father is at home. If he is around, they do not dare to enter our home. The 610 Office agents know that what they are doing is shameful, and that the persecution of Falun Gong is unjustifiable.
