(Minghui.org) The Falun Dafa practice site at Niagara Falls is open every day. Many people learn about the spiritual practice and the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution by talking to practitioners at the practice site. Multiple Chinese tourists have quit their memberships in the CCP organizations after learning the true nature of the Party, including a postdoctoral student. 

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang met Mr. Liu, who is pursuing postdoctoral studies in Canada and was visiting Niagara Falls. They chatted for a long time. Mr. Liu had many questions. As Ms. Zhang explained, he browsed the Internet on his tablet and verified everything she said. 

Gradually, Liu changed his view and agreed to withdraw his membership in the CCP organizations. The following are some of Mr. Liu’s questions and what Ms. Zhang told him. 

“Does the U.S. Pay You?” 

When Ms. Zhang mentioned quitting the CCP, Liu said, “Why are you here talking to people? Does the United States pay you? How much are you paid every day?” 

Ms. Zhang answered, “You are an educated and knowledgeable person. You know that taxes and expenditures in Western democratic countries are transparent. You just said that wherever you’ve toured, you see Falun Dafa practitioners. If there are 100 million practitioners outside of China, and the U.S. gives one hundred dollars to each, that would be ten billion dollars. Think about it. What country can afford to do that?” 

Liu thought it over and nodded in agreement. 

Then he said, “I’m from Henan. I think China has done a good job in disaster relief.” 

Ms. Zhang said, “I read the news reports. During the recent flood in Zhengzhou (the capital of Henan Province), an entire four-kilometer-long subway tunnel was submerged within five minutes. In order to conceal the incident, the CCP said it was caused by heavy rains. How can such a long tunnel fill with water in five minutes? It was actually due to flood discharge from several reservoirs at the same time. The government did not notify the public beforehand. The government-controlled news reported that only a few people died in the subway trains submerged underwater. Do you believe it? Some people photographed a truckload of dead bodies and destroyed houses. Can you believe the CCP’s figures?” 

As she talked he searched online and saw the overseas reports about the tragedy. 

Don’t Sacrifice Your Life to the CCP

When Ms. Zhang talked about the importance of quitting the CCP, Liu said, “I think withdrawing from the CCP organizations is against the Party and betrays China. We are all Chinese. Domestic issues should not be publicly exposed in other countries. I even applied to join the Party.” 

Ms. Zhang said, “Since you mentioned joining the Party, let’s talk about the oath. When you joined the CCP organizations, you made an oath to give your life to the Party. Isn’t this equivalent to signing a contract? Which organization asks people to pledge their lives when they sign a contract?” 

She explained that our lives are very precious and cannot be given away. People in other countries also swear, but they swear differently. Most people who want to be good ask for God’s blessing. 

He nodded his head and said he agreed. 

Ms. Zhang explained that the CCP asks small children to pledge to dedicate their lives to it. Even though the Party claims it is China’s mother, it killed students on Tiananmen Square in 1989. 

Mr. Liu agreed with her. 

“Can the Government Lie?”

When Ms. Zhang began talking about Falun Dafa, Liu asked, “Was the Tiananmen self-immolation staged? Did the government lie?” 

Ms. Zhang explained that the CCP staged the incident to demonize Falun Dafa and justify its brutal persecution. She suggested he watch the film False Fire, which analyzes the news report footage and found evidence indicating the incident was staged. 

While Mr. Liu searched online, Zhang told him about the movie Coming for You, produced by New Realm Studios that depicts Falun Dafa practitioners’ efforts to expose the CCP’s persecution of their faith. She said that former CCP head Jiang Zemin was sued in over 30 countries for his genocidal crimes against humanity. 

Mr. Liu searched online and found the information.

Saving Lives 

Then Ms. Zhang talked about the two phrases, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She said there were numerous cases where people dodged disasters while reciting the two phrases. Mr. Liu was reluctant to believe her. 

She explained that an increasing number of people started practicing Falun Dafa even though the CCP persecutes it. The reason is that practicing Falun Dafa has proven beneficial in resolving illnesses and keeping fit. She told him to search for a report: “An observational cohort study on terminal cancer survivors practicing Falun Gong (FLG) in China” by Yuhong Dong et al.

Ms. Zhang said that the study found that the life span of 152 terminal cancer patients was prolonged from about 5.1 months (clinical prediction of survival) to 56 months after practicing Falun Dafa. Among them, 147 patients (96.7%) reported complete recovery with 60 patients that were confirmed by physicians.

Mr. Liu quickly searched and found the report. (Editor note: Research Finds Falun Gong Practice Improves Cancer Survival Rate)

“What You Say Is True”

Ms. Zhang talked about the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG). The organization found that China’s organ transplant industry developed significantly after the CCP began persecuting Falun Dafa. Reports from witnesses and Chinese physicians reveal that thousands of practitioners have been killed for their organs, which are sold for enormous profit in the transplant trade. Evidence indicates that the CCP conducts organ harvesting from practitioners while they are still alive. 

She also mentioned the China Tribunal chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, who led the prosecution of former President of Serbia Slobodan Milošević, at the UN’s International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). 

The Tribunal announced its final conclusion on June 18, 2019. “Forced organ harvesting has been committed for years throughout China on a significant scale and that Falun Gong practitioners have been one – and probably the main – source of organ supply. The concerned persecution and medical testing of the Uyghurs are more recent as it may be that evidence of forced organ harvesting of this group may emerge in due course,” continued the statement. “The Tribunal has had no evidence that the significant infrastructure associated with China’s transplantation industry has been dismantled and absent of a satisfactory explanation as to the source of readily available organs concludes that forced organ harvesting continues till today.”

As Ms. Zhang’s talked, Mr. Liu searched online and watched part of the movies False Fire and Coming For You

His attitude gradually changed, and he stopped saying that she was betraying China. After seeing the report about the cancer study, he was stunned, “It is true!” 

“Retain Your Fortune”

Ms. Zhang told him the significance of quitting the CCP organizations. She pointed out that when the Party is held accountable for its crimes anyone associated with it will be implicated and face dire consequences. If one quits the CCP organizations, he will be safe. 

Mr. Liu agreed to quit his membership in the CCP organizations. Ms. Zhang gave him the alias Liu Fu, which literally means: to retain his fortune. Mr. Liu smiled and agreed.
