A director from the Educational Bureau of one city in Jilin Province not only slandered Falun Dafa at a city-wide educational system conference, but he also assigned the task of writing "compositions" defaming Falun Dafa to each and every elementary school and high school. After local practitioners found out about this, they immediately exposed his wrongdoings to the local citizens. Practitioners made truth-clarifying signs and posted or distributed them across the city and near his home. However, several days later, the director still had not restrained his wicked behavior. On the contrary, he even became more vicious. He went to some schools in person, supervising and examining the process of writing "compositions" against Falun Dafa. Some practitioners became puzzled after this happened. Some even said, "Why is it that he became even more vicious after the exposure?" Because of this, some practitioners backed off a little in their effort to expose his crimes.
Regarding this issue, local practitioners have had several small-scale experience sharing meetings to exchange ideas. In the end, they realized that there was nothing wrong with exposing the evil, but the practitioners' mindset in participating in it was most important. As long as we validate Dafa with a pure heart, the best effect will be achieved. After all the practitioners had improved their understanding from the Fa-perspective, they kept exposing the local persecutors to the people. Soon after, that director was dismissed from his position and transferred somewhere else.
The mother (also a practitioner) of a steadfast practitioner who was in prison went to visit her son, who had been tortured to the brink of death. She went there several times, but was not allowed to see her son at all. Therefore, a relative of hers managed to arrange a meeting at the hospital through some internal connections. The mother saw her son through a window and found that the son was dying. The mother asked the guard to allow her to have a look at her son face to face. However, she was reprimanded and turned away. After she got back, she realized through communication with other fellow practitioners, that it was because we did not expose the persecutors that they had become so brazen in persecuting Dafa practitioners. Thus, she exposed on Clearwisdom the persecution that her son had been subjected to in the prison. She also wrote a letter to the leaders of the prison. Several days later, people from the team of the prison in which her son was jailed made a phone call to her, scolding her, "How dare you expose us on the Internet and write a letter to our superiors! It spurred a detailed inspection from our higher-ups. I guess you don't want to see your son anymore." In spite of the threat and terror, she argued strongly on the basis of justice. In the end, the guard hung up after saying, "Don't ever think of seeing your son again."
The mother knew that, even though she was still not allowed to see her son, she had done nothing wrong. She kept writing to the above authorities of the prison: the provincial Prison Administrative Bureau, the provincial Judiciary Department and other relevant departments. The prison is currently still very strict about meetings between other detained steadfast practitioners and their family members, but her family is an exception: they are given permission every time.
Later on, she told us, "Through this issue, I realized that when one believes in Teacher and the Fa in all situations, one will experience the power of Dafa." Her family is actively filing a lawsuit against the prison for the illegal detention of her son, who is still seriously ill.
Also, there is a practitioner who, with righteous thoughts, was able to get out of the prison. She did not give her name to the authorities during her 575 days of detention in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. After she left the camp, she actively rejoined the mighty current of Fa-rectification. In May 2004, she was reported while clarifying the facts about Falun Dafa, carrying several hundred VCDs with her. After she was abducted, she behaved righteously in the police substation and Public Security Branch. She was released one day later without revealing her name. After she came back, she wrote down her experiences in the persecution and exposed the evil on Clearwisdom. She also made and distributed some truth-clarifying materials in the local area using her real name, and included the name of the police substation where she was detained. When her daughter-in-law found out about it, she was very upset and said, "How dare you use your real name on the flyer and distribute it everywhere. The police substation and the Neighborhood Committee came to our home. How will we be able to keep going now?" Upon hearing her daughter-in-law's words, she hesitated a moment, but then reaffirmed in her mind that we should follow Master's teachings at all times.
It turned out that there is a director of the Neighborhood Committee whom the practitioner had intended to explain the truth to but never had a chance. In July 2004, the director mysteriously said to the practitioner's relative, "The police substation had a meeting with our community. Your sister-in-law is like Sister Jiang. She started to practice the Falun Gong exercises upon arriving at the police substation. Even the policemen could do nothing with her. They released her one day later, saying that Falun Gong practitioners are really something." Through her story, the director of the Neighborhood Committee and many others got to know the truth of Falun Dafa. The practitioner's daughter-in-law told her several days later, "Mom, I lied to you. Nobody from the police substation ever came to our home." The practitioner said thankfully, "Every word that Teacher said is the truth!" In other words, if we do not firmly believe in Teacher at all times, we might become confused by superficial appearances.
