(Minghui.org) 149 citizens from Langfang City, Hebei Province, signed a petition in June and July of 2014, calling on the Chinese regime to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa. None of them feared retaliation.
More and more people are realizing that they cannot live in peace with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ruling the country. Many who signed commented that Falun Dafa has proven to be a good practice. Not only does it benefit people physically and mentally, but also brings happiness to society and families.
One signer told about something that happened where she worked. She said, “When my company was reorganized a few years ago, we all fought for good positions, except one employee, a Falun Dafa practitioner, who volunteered for a position where the salary would not be guaranteed. However, shortly after she began to work there, that position became profitable. She got her full salary plus a bonus. Soon after, many of her coworkers went to the management to ask for that position.
“Then she volunteered again to be assigned another bad position, the laundry, at a hotel. The hotel was in a bad way financially, and the general manager was in dire straits. However, after she started to work there, the situation improved because of a 100 percent occupancy rate. I knew that Falun Dafa was responsible." The woman concluded by saying that she would always support Falun Dafa.
One young man who signed the petition told about his family: “My mother is a single mother. Because her company was unprofitable many years ago, our lives were really difficult. But after my mother began practicing Falun Dafa, her company's economic situation improved, and our life improved.
“After I graduated from college, I found a job without any problem and did well. Falun Dafa completely changed my family's situation. I fully support my mother practicing Falun Dafa. Such a good practice should be broadly promoted in society.”
One signer who looked like a government official said, “I'd love to sign the petition. I know that Falun Dafa practitioners are good people. A friend of mine diagnosed with late stage cancer returned to good health once he practiced Falun Dafa. I support the activities to stop the persecution.”
One elderly signer said, “Ms. Yu Guifang, a local practitioner, was a deputy director in the Weifang Political and Legal Affairs Department. Her whole family was brutally persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa. Her husband was persecuted to death, her son-in-law was forced to leave home to avoid persecution, and her daughter and she were illegally detained and monitored. Her granddaughter grew up fearful and lonely from the time she was three years old. It is urgent that the persecution stop so that this kind of tragedy will not happen again.”
One middle-aged man said: “One of my coworkers practices Falun Dafa. He told me about the goodness of Falun Dafa several times. I did not listen to him and even said some things I shouldn't have. He tried to stop me and said that wasn't a good thing to do. But I said I did not believe doing that would harm me.
"Shortly after, my wife broke her leg. I found him and asked him what I should do. He told me to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates and then ask my wife to recite 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' Both of us quit the CCP. After my wife said these words for a few days, a miracle happened. Her leg fully recovered. We both signed the petition to support ending the persecution.”
A businessman told a story: “One day, a Falun Dafa practitioner came to my store. He saw that my lips were purple and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I had been diagnosed with heart problems. He asked me how I thought he looked. I said that he looked good. He told me, 'A few years ago the doctors told me I only had a short time to live because none of my organs were functioning well. But after I practiced Falun Dafa for a few months, I went back for an exam, and I was illness free. My doctor said it was miraculous and that my heart was functioning like that of a young man. You should practice Falun Dafa.'
"I told him that I did not have time because of my business. He told me to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliates and often recite 'Falun Dafa is good.' He said it would work better if I said them aloud. I immediately shouted, 'Falun Dafa is good!' I felt my whole body relax, and my heart did not bother me anymore. It was as if something bad had left my body. Now I am in good health and my business is prospering. I support and am grateful for Falun Dafa.”
After many years of Falun Dafa practitioners' clarifying the facts to people and the publication of the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, more and more Chinese people understand the facts about the practice and no longer want to blindly follow the CCP. As more of those responsible for carrying out the persecution receive retribution for their bad deeds, many officers and officials have awakened and refuse to be involved in the persecution of practitioners. Many believe that Falun Dafa will soon be redressed in China.
