(Minghui.org) After I took up Falun Gong in 2005, my ailments quickly disappeared and I became a healthy, kind, and upright person. I’m grateful to compassionate Master for giving me a second life.
One afternoon in 2021, two fellow practitioners and I were studying the Fa at home, when two police officers and two village cadres barged into my courtyard. Just before they reached the outer room, I pushed them outside and told them that they couldn’t casually enter my home; otherwise, they would be committing a crime. They then left.
The second time, six people came, including some township government officials. This time, I invited them to come in and clarified the facts about Falun Gong to them.
I first told them about the Article 36 of the Chinese Constitution, which states, “Citizens of the People’s Republic of China enjoy freedom of religious belief. No State organ, public organization or individual may compel citizens to believe in, or not to believe in, any religion; nor may they discriminate against citizens who believe in, or do not believe in, any religion.”
I also mentioned the Article 3 of the Criminal Law, which stipulates that “For acts that are explicitly defined as criminal acts in law, the offenders shall be convicted and punished in accordance with law; otherwise, they shall not be convicted or punished.” As Falun Gong practitioners didn’t do anything that broke the law, we shouldn’t face prosecution for our faith.
I next emphasized that Falun Gong was not on the 14-cult list issued jointly by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, the General Office of the State Council, and Ministry of Public Security on April 9, 2000. Legal Evening News, a CCP-controlled newspaper, republished the list on June 2, 2014 and again Falun Gong was not on the list.
In addition, I told them that the China Administration of Press and Publication repealed its ban on the publication of Falun Gong books in 2011.
They were surprised after hearing what I had to say. The village head stood up and said, “It’s impressive that you can memorize the Constitution at your age.” He seemed to understand the extraordinary nature of Dafa and asked everyone to leave.
