(Clearwisdom.net) The night before the 2004 Chinese New Year's Eve, two fellow practitioners and I went to villages in Yishui Township, Yishui County in Shandong Province to distribute Falun Dafa truth-clarifying flyers. It was very cold and windy for several days before we left, but that night the wind stopped. It was a clear night with a bright moon, and not very cold either. We posted flyers in three villages over one night successfully.
It was around midnight when we arrived at the second village. When we were posting the flyers there, an elderly villager appeared in front of us and he asked curiously, "What are you doing?" We told him, "We are Falun Gong practitioners, we are posting our truth-clarifying flyers." The villager asked us for some materials. Unfortunately we did not have any with us other than the homemade flyers. When we told him this, he said, "Can I have a flyer, then?"
When we told him about Falun Gong, he said, "I know Falun Gong teaches people to be good and do good deeds, it also improves their health. There were some practitioners in this village also, but Jiang's men arrested them for practicing, and fined them heavily. Jiang is claiming good to be bad, and white to be black. Don't be afraid, keep on practicing and posting. I have also seen a lot of truth-clarifying posters when I visited other areas, and that was great. The righteous is righteous no matter what."
The villager followed us through the village and showed us the locations where villagers often gather so that more people could see our flyers. When we finished, he said, "It is amazing that you came so far for us in such cold weather." He invited us to his home for some hot drinks. We thanked him but did not accept the invitation, because it was very late and we did not want to interrupt his family's sleep. The elderly villager walked with us all the way out of the village and told us, "I will watch those flyers for you. Nobody will dare take them down."
