(Minghui.org) This year, large numbers of tourists from China have been visiting France, with crowds of them flocking to shopping malls, supermarkets, and tourist attractions every day.
Master has provided such favorable conditions and opportunities for people from China to visit other countries so that they can hear the truth about Falun Gong and be saved. As Falun Gong practitioners, we must not miss this opportunity to save people. Several of us practitioners regularly go to where tourists from China like to visit to tell them the truth and encourage them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
After I finished clarifying the facts to a group of tourists one day, a woman and a young girl hurried up to me. The woman grabbed my arm and said urgently, “I saw you talking to them. I recognized you. It’s you, it’s definitely you. You haven’t changed.”
I was taken aback and just stared at them. The woman pulled the girl closer and said, “This is my daughter. We were in Paris six years ago and were eating dinner in a restaurant near the Eiffel Tower. It was sleeting and very cold. That was when you told us about quitting the Party to be safe.” I quickly said, “What a coincidence that we would meet again today!” The woman said, “I’m so sorry about my behavior back then. I remember it clearly.”
When I asked what happened, she replied, “That day, you explained to all of us what Falun Gong is and why the Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Gong. I listened and agreed with you. Then you told us that we had to withdraw from the Party and its organizations to ensure our safety, but I didn’t believe you. Everyone else agreed to quit and even gave their names, but I refused. I even shook the water on my umbrella on you.
“At the time, everyone else was telling me I was doing the wrong thing by not quitting, but you didn’t get angry. You just patted the water off, smiled at me, and said, ‘It’s okay! Don’t worry.’ You also told me to remind my family and friends to recite in their hearts, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ so that they could avoid natural disasters and pandemics and ensure their safety. I said to you, ‘You’re cursing me.’ You said, ‘I’m doing this for your own good! You will see that these auspicious phrases are a miraculous remedy!’
“I got on the bus, and as we left, I saw the yellow banner you had hung up that read: ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ On the bus, I began to regret my behavior. I knew you were doing this for my own good. I told my companions, ‘I’ll just remember these phrases.’ I nodded toward the banner and read aloud, ‘Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’”
Just then her daughter interrupted: “During the three years of the pandemic, my mom would recite aloud every day, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ She also told our relatives and friends to recite it. Those three years were a disaster. No one could escape the pandemic, and many people died. But my family was unharmed. My mom used to have a hot temper and everyone had to put up with it. Now my dad tells our relatives and friends, ‘My wife recites “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. She's become kind-hearted, no longer curses, and is more gentle. I’ve started reciting with her, too. My mom says, ‘The auspicious phrases are a miracle remedy!’”
We all laughed, and the woman urged me to help them do the three withdrawals. “I brought my daughter here so that we could fulfill our wish to quit.” I helped them both, and they were very happy.
Another time while I was clarifying the truth, I met a young woman. I greeted her and said, “It’s fate that we met in France. I just want to tell you to quit the Party and ensure your safety.” The girl’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled, saying, “Auntie, do you practice Falun Gong?” When I told her I did, the girl smiled and said, “I quit already. My teacher helped me.”
The girl’s mother, who was nearby, rushed over and pulled her daughter away, saying, “Let’s go!” The girl said, “Mom, listen to what this lady is saying. We're all Chinese, and it's a blessing that we’ve met.” Her mother said, “There's nothing to say or hear. Let’s go!”
I continued, “Ma’am, you are blessed. Your daughter is intelligent and beautiful, just like you. Children really are a reflection of their mothers!” She didn’t respond to me but whispered, as if to herself, “Really?”
The girl continued, “Auntie, my university professor practices Falun Gong. She’s a wonderful person who often shares knowledge about Falun Gong with us. All of us students understand Falun Gong and know the CCP has persecuted it. It was my teacher who told me, ‘The Theory of Evolution is wrong. Humans were created by God and didn’t evolve from apes.’ This awakened me! It was incredibly shocking! After that, I told my teacher, ‘I want to read Falun Gong books, and I want to practice Falun Gong.’
“One day, I brought home the book Zhuan Falun and told my mother about it. To my surprise, she flew into a rage, refusing to let me read it or practice the exercises, and demanded that I throw the book away.” Just then, her mother interrupted, “This silly child says the book is her lifeline. Without it, she wouldn't exist. We've been at odds over this, and now we’re stuck in a stalemate.”
I smiled and said, “Every mother loves her child. It’s just that the Chinese Communist Party’s dictatorship prevents people from hearing and understanding the truth. They spread lies to slander Falun Gong and use every means possible to suppress it. That is how they instill fear into people’s hearts. Falun Gong is a high-level Buddhist cultivation practice.
“Jiang Zemin, who launched the persecution, said, ‘There are 78 million Communist Party members, but there are over 100 million Falun Gong practitioners. That won't do! Suppress them!’ Are they afraid there are too many good people? Are they afraid there are too many practitioners? In fact, the Chinese people all know in their hearts that the Party is utterly evil and capable of any atrocity.
“Do you know about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation? That was fake. Wang Jindong’s face was burned beyond recognition, yet his eyebrows and hair remained completely intact—is that even possible? Earlier, when we talked to several Chinese people about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident, one gentleman said, ‘I knew from the start that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a fabrication, a staged performance. Wang Jindong was burned so severely yet felt no pain, sitting there motionless as if waiting to be photographed.’”
At this point, the girl’s mother turned around to listen. I continued, “Look at the sculptures and paintings in Paris, France—they're exceptionally beautiful. However, there’s less than a third of them left. Most were destroyed and vandalized during the Paris Commune led by Marx. Because Marx was a German Satanic cultist, the Chinese Communist Party followed his path, resorting to violence, destruction, and looting. The CCP is atheist, fighting against heaven and earth, and believes that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, targeting the common people.”
The girl’s mother exclaimed, “What? Marx was a member of a Satanic cult? I didn’t know that! So that’s what the Paris Commune was all about?!” The girl said, “I didn’t know either. That’s so shocking!”
I continued, “The Chinese Communist Party kneels before the cult leader Marx, recognizing him as their ancestor. They make children who have just started school wear red scarves and become Young Pioneers, and they make young people join the Communist Youth League and the Communist Party to fight for communism and sacrifice their lives for the Party. Communism was created by Marx. Isn’t it obvious that the evil Chinese Communist Party is a cult?”
There were several Chinese tourists standing nearby, listening in. An elderly gentleman gave me a thumbs-up and said, “Well said, very true. I’ve always believed that the Chinese Communist Party is a gang of thugs and demons, and it’s Falun Gong that has finally exposed the CCP for what it is—a cult! This is spot on, absolutely accurate.”
Right then, I helped the gentleman withdraw from the Youth League he’d once joined. Then I said to the girl’s mother, “You should withdraw, too. We are not fighting for communism, nor are we descendants of Marx and Lenin. We are descendants of the Yellow Emperor.” She smiled and said, “Hearing this, I understand why I should withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party. I am a Party member, and I will quit.” The girl hugged her mother and said, “You finally understand!” The girl put her hands together and said, with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Master!”
A few days ago while we were out clarifying the truth, I noticed another practitioner holding a huge bouquet of flowers and asked where it had come from. She replied, “I clarified the truth to a group of young people, who were all happy to withdraw. They returned later and said, ‘Please accept these flowers as an expression of our heartfelt gratitude!’”
When we heard this, all of us practitioners were delighted. This was encouragement for us to continue telling the truth, inspiring us to accelerate our efforts. Sentient beings are awakening, and those who can withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations will be blessed with peace.
Thank you, Master, for your grace and for enabling your disciples to achieve this!
