(Minghui.org) “Did you know that I once saw a miraculous green mountain 60 years ago?” My uncle asked me.
Uncle was in his 80s. I had gone to visit him just after his second surgery as part of his cancer treatment in 2009. Lying in bed, he couldn’t move, but he could talk.
He recalled his story of the green mountain after I had told him about a stone in Guizhou that fell from the side of a rock formation, revealing the naturally engraved words: “The Chinese Communist Party Is Destroyed.” I told him how people were now renouncing their Chinese Communist Party (CCP) memberships to take a stance against its many crimes.
Uncle then told me his story. Back when he was in his twenties, he was out for a walk one day and ended up going to the mountains. He came across something he had never seen or heard of before: a magnificent green mountain. To remember it, he broke a small piece out of the green rock. He marked the path on his way out.
He went to a pawn shop to have the green stone inspected. The owner said it was pure jade and offered to buy it from him at a high price.
“No,” Uncle said, “I can’t take that much money from you. I got it from a rock in the mountain. The whole mountain is like this.”
The store owner didn't believe it, so Uncle took him to the mountains. Following his markings, he found the rock and matched the stone to it. Only this time, the mountain was no longer green and just looked normal.
When he told his story to others later, nobody believed it, not even his children.
“Uncle, I believe it,” I said. “You were probably divinely inspired at that time. Because you were kind, you saw what others couldn’t see, and because you were not greedy, you got what others couldn’t get.”
I talked to him about how the CCP sought to destroy religion and traditional values in China, and so people stopped believing in divine power. I also told him about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong and its fabricated self-immolation event in Tiananmen Square to frame Falun Gong.
“You are right. It hasn’t done a single good thing,” Uncle agreed.
I encouraged him to recite “Falun Gong is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and he began reciting it right away.
As he kept repeating the words, he suddenly sat up. His son and daughter-in-law were amazed: “Dad, you sat up!”
Uncle’s family all then decided to withdraw their memberships in the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
When I left, Uncle even got out of bed to say good-bye.
