(Minghui.org) 305 people from Binzhou City in Shandong Province and Langfang City in Hebei Province signed a petition calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong. Many who signed were government officials. They knew that Falun Gong practitioners are good people that live by the principles Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and that China would be a better place if there were more practitioners.
305 signatures calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong
A Police Official Signs
One signer, who is an official at the police department, shared the following when he signed the petition: “One of my relatives practices Falun Gong. When he talked about Falun Gong and quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at a family gathering a few years ago, I got really angry and shouted at him. Shortly afterward, I passed out.
“I heard this relative shout in my ear, 'Falun Dafa is good! Follow me and say, "Falun Dafa is good!"' When I woke up, he was still shouting the same words. I believed what he had told me, and I withdrew from the CCP. Now I listen to you and have signed the petition. I absolutely support Falun Gong. Many of my colleagues know the facts about the practice, too.”
Another signer who holds a sensitive position told the practitioner who was collecting the signatures: “I don't have the power to arrest anyone or release anyone. But I knew how to treat practitioners when they were taken before me. There was no beating or cursing. They could do the exercises or send forth righteous thoughts if they liked. I gave them the confiscated Falun Gong books to read. I did my best to provide them good meals. We were not born bad. The CCP made us this way. Please forgive me. I support you and call for an end to the persecution.”
Another signer is a member of a residential community security force. He said: “We were told to harass practitioners on sensitive days. We knew that practitioners did not do anything bad, so we tried to remind them to be careful. We don't want them being arrested. We did what we could do to help. It is hard to be a good person under the CCP system. I support you and hope the persecution ends sooner rather than later, so we can all live in peace.”
A signer who is employed by a court said: “There was a case a few years ago. The defendant was a woman. Since she was treated unfairly, she got really angry and rude, cursing and hitting people. She broke several doors in the courthouse. One of the judges was sick for a week because of her. Then she began to practice Falun Gong and became a better person. She asked us for forgiveness. Falun Gong changed such a bad person. The persecution was a big mistake. I support your efforts to stop the persecution. Such a good practice should be promoted widely - you need to let more people know about it.”
One elderly signer talked about his family: “My son and daughter-in-law used to quarrel often and sometimes even fought with knives. Their two kids were so scared that they crawled under the bed. I was worried about how I was going to live out the rest of my life. But after my son began to practice Falun Gong, he tried to tolerate his wife when she was unreasonable. He tried not to lose his temper. When his wife saw that, she began to practice Falun Gong, too. Now they live in harmony and their kids are happy. I am happy, too. Falun Gong is truly good. I support Falun Gong.”
A middle-aged signer said: “I was told that I needed a heart operation. One of my cousins is a Falun Gong practitioner. He told me if I said loudly 'Falun Dafa is good,' I would regain my health. I told him that I dared not say that, because I was afraid of the CCP. Then he told me to say these words sincerely in my heart. I knew that he and his wife changed a lot after they practiced Falun Gong, so I agreed.
The day I was due to be operated on, the doctor examined me and told me that I did not need the operation anymore, that I no longer had a heart problem. Everyone in the hospital was shocked. I have been healthy ever since. Because of Falun Gong, I experienced a miracle. I support Falun Gong.”
One elderly lady heard about the persecution of practitioner Mr. Pang Guangwen from Shanghai (see Imprisoned Shanghai Executive Experiences Persistent Vomiting for Ten Months, Wife Suspects Poisoned Food) and could not hold back her tears. As a mother, she knew how Mr. Pang's mother felt. She said: “Those people are cold-blooded and stone-hearted. Jiang Zemin is about to pay his dues. If these people don't wake up, they will have to pay for what they did. I support you and am against the persecution.”
One lady said: “I saw a practitioner wearing the Falun emblem wherever she went. She was really upright. I shook her hand."
More and more Chinese people understand the true nature of the CCP and support practitioners.
