(Minghui.org) Most Chinese living under communist rule in China have been influenced by Atheism and no longer believe in the traditional Chinese principle that doing good will be rewarded and being bad will be punished. However, I have personally witnessed this principle come true from the people around me. The following are a few examples.
I ran into a former colleague one day. She pulled me aside, and whispered, “I went to visit my brother some time ago and saw my sister-in-law throw a Falun Dafa book on the floor. She said she wouldn't practice it anymore. I picked up the book and opened it. When I saw Master Li's picture, it touched my heart. I thought, 'What a great teacher!' The more I looked at the book, the more I liked it. I took it back home and hid it in my cabinet.”
I asked her if she would like to learn the practice. If she didn't, she could sell the book to me.
“I won't sell it no matter how much you pay!” she replied. “It's so precious. I will treasure it. I enjoy looking at Master's picture.” I had to return the book to her.
A couple of years later, I ran into her again. She couldn't help but share her happiness with me about her daughter. Her daughter used to be stubborn. Her scores were average in school and she majored in an unpopular major in an ordinary college. Her mom was worried about her future.
However, she made a dramatic turn in her life during the last couple of years. She found a good job in the development district, and was promoted to office director. One of the officials liked her and introduced his son to her. They dated and got married. Her parents-in-law always praise her and treat her so well. Her mom no longer needs to worry about her anymore.
I congratulated her and told her that it must be a reward for her protecting a Falun Dafa book. She happily agreed, “Yes! Yes!”
I met a taxi driver while on a business trip, a talkative young man called Xiao Jing. He told me that he used to be a troublemaker and had been sent to juvenile detention for a couple of years. His parents were farmers, and never gave up on him. They often visited him, and looked forward to their family reunion on holidays.
Xiao Jing only had two wishes: to make more money to support his parents, and to find a kind wife. It wasn't easy for him to make money though. Driving a taxi was his side job. It was rare for him to make more than 100 yuan (US$15) a day.
I said, “I have something great to share with you! If you believe it, it will change your life.” I told him about Falun Dafa, gave him some newsletters, and helped him quit the communist organizations that he had previously joined. I also told him to sincerely repeat in his mind, “Falun Dafa is great! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is great!” The young man said he would, and thanked me.
I ran into him again a month later. As I got in his car, he exclaimed, “It's a miracle! There is no room to doubt it! Ever since you helped me quit the communist organizations, I have been able to make more than 100 yuan every day. It was impossible before. I can't believe that what you said is true! I didn't completely believe you at first, but I didn't believe in the Chinese Communist Party either. I want to be a good person, but I didn't know Falun Dafa was so great! I have been blessed!”
I told him to continue repeating the words, and that I hope his second wish will come true! He gave me a big smile.
Two young policemen came to my home one time, demanding that I sign a guarantee statement not to appeal for Falun Dafa on Tiananmen Square. I refused. But one of them demanded, “You must. It's not a choice.”
All my grievances, sadness and anger exploded at that moment. I lost control of my emotions and started crying. I shouted, “What have I done wrong? We are lawful citizens living our quiet lives, but you come here to harass us. Tiananmen Square belongs to the people. I'm one of them. Why can't I go there?”
I kept on wailing. The two young policemen seemed embarrassed, and one of them apologized, “We didn't want to come. It's an order from higher authorities. We're very sorry, ma'am! We won't disturb you again.” Then they left.
I calmed down and regretted my behavior. Master told us to awaken sentient beings, not to scare them away. I wrote a sincere letter to the local police and police chief, and sent it with some information about Falun Dafa.
A few months later, I wished that the policeman who apologized to me could come visit me by himself, because I wanted to help him quit the communist organizations.
My wish came true. As soon as he entered my home he started explaining that he felt the need to see me, as he was sorry for the circumstances of the last time we met.
I happily told him about Falun Dafa. He replied, “ma'am, I know all about it. I know you are nice people. I'm in charge of security in this area. I will protect you. I won't let anyone arrest you.” I asked him to protect all Dafa practitioners. He also agreed to quit the communist organizations, and said that he would do it online by himself.
Some time later, my husband told me that this young policeman had been promoted to an associate police chief in the development district.
When I asked my husband if he knew why this young man was doing so well in his career, he thought that he must have good connections.
I told my husband about my conversations with the policeman, and said, “He has a kind heart. He notifies me whenever he hears of any planned police action against us. A kind person should be rewarded!”
Shortly after the persecution of Falun Dafa started in July 1999, I went to appeal for Dafa with three other practitioners. We were arrested and detained in our local police station.
The director of the police station talked with me in his office. He listened quietly as I told him about Dafa. He never pressured me to give up my belief, and put us in the best room in the police station, with air conditioning and sofas.
We didn't suffer from the terrible heat of those hot summer days. Only one policeman asked us our opinion of Falun Dafa each day. All four of us were released one-by-one within the week.
The manager of my company wanted to fire me because of my appeal. The police director heard about it and asked my manager not to fire me because I needed a job.
My manager wouldn't listen. He asked an assistant manager to write a report to frame me, but the assistant manager refused, and said that he couldn't frame an innocent person. The manager then asked another assistant manager to write the report. This assistant manager agreed, but felt very guilty.
He apologized to me and told me that he was forced to tell lies in the report. He begged me not to hate him.
I told him that practitioners follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and don't hold hatred against anyone. But from that point on, I didn't give him any more information about Falun Dafa.
Soon after the incident, the people who did good things were rewarded and the ones who did bad things were punished. The police director was promoted to a position in a development district. It brought him better pay and benefits. The first assistant manager was promoted, but she didn't want the position because it would make her too busy. It was then arranged that she work at a much easier, but still better position.
The following month my manager was reported for embezzlement. He was almost arrested. He eventually lost his job and his wife divorced him.
The assistant manager who wrote the report framing me was later found to have had unethical relationships with women. He was fired too.
