(Minghui.org) Carrying the tea that his wife had prepared for him, a practitioner left on his bicycle at 10:00 a.m. with 70 copies of Dafa brochures.

This practitioner is in his eighties, and was introduced to Dafa in 1996. He was a colonel in the military, though not many people knew this. He looks younger than his age, and is always kind and cheerful, and not grumpy like some other elders.

He relies on his bicycle to go places, and has had four bikes since he started practicing Falun Dafa. When he first retired he went out on his bicycle to spread Dafa, establish information centers, and coordinate with other practitioners. The previous bicycle he used was seized by two plainclothes police officers when he was talking to people about Dafa on his phone.

He went on his bicycle to meet people in the woods, parks, on river banks, and in fields. He has helped more than 10,000 people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. The bike he rides now is a used one he bought last year for 24 dollars. It is convenient, and he doesn’t worry much about it being stolen. He plans to visit all the surrounding villages to talk to people about Falun Dafa.

He plans to visit two villages today with a round trip of about 22 miles. He will try to get home before dark.

The government relocated people using all sorts of excuses. They wanted people to vacate their land, and then use it for development. Thus, there are fewer residents in farm villages, with the majority being elderly. Most of these people have not heard about Dafa.

There are fewer than 200 houses per village, and only a few are occupied. He visited the occupied homes and gave them brochures and explained what Falun Dafa is. If the house looked occupied but no one was home, he would find a spot near the door to leave information.

He drank some water at noon and continued on to the second village. He finished up and arrived home at 4:00 p.m., returning his bike to the garage. He rode nearly six hours and distributed all 70 sets of materials. Nine people quit the CCP. He thanked Master for his support and protection.

That night he dreamed that he was once again young and his gray hair was black. When he woke up he thanked Master for the encouragement.
