A suggestion: expose the evil people more effectively

When exposing the wrongdoings of evil people, in addition to collecting their home numbers, work numbers, and cell phone numbers we should also collect their home address. If possible, we should also collect the phone numbers of their relatives, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and even the phone numbers of their children's schools in order to send the truth material more directly and selectively. This will result in being more effective in clarifying the truth and exposing their evil doings.

Practitioners in Mainland China can further use the persecution cases published on Minghui by printing them and distributing the case information in areas near the perpetrators' workplaces, homes, and any other place they frequent. This is so that everyone who has contact with these people can learn of their evil doings.

The Truth and People's Hearts

A Falun Gong practitioner rented a room in a village in the country in northern China. One day he was doing house cleaning and found some money, about 1100 Yuan . The money had been left in the room by the owner who had died. The practitioner returned the money to the owner's daughter and her husband. The husband said, "Based on this incident alone, I know that you are beyond the ordinary realm. Do you have any Falun Gong material? I'd like to read it carefully." He also took out 200 Yuan and said I know you will not accept it because of your high moral character, but please consider this money as a donation for making Falun Gong truth clarification materials.
