(Clearwisdom.net) I remember that an overseas practitioner once asked this question back in 2001: "What is the best way to help clarify the truth to the general public in China?" We replied, "The best way is by calling them and clarifying the truth to them directly, because all the other ways have been controlled and blocked by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."
Since then, overseas Falun Gong practitioners have been making phone calls to prisons, forced labor camps, brainwashing centers, and the general public who have all been continuously poisoned by the deceitful anti-Falun Gong propaganda. The phone calls have played a very important role in the saving of sentient beings. Especially after the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party, the general public in China has received many more phone calls from overseas practitioners regarding the Nine Commentaries.
The effect of the phone calls is huge. The story of how one of my relatives changed his mind about the CCP is proof of their positive effect. I had talked with my relative many times about the wickedness of the CCP and how important it was for him to withdraw his party membership, but he never changed his mind. Because he is an elder member of my family, he was very tough on me. I couldn't persuade him at all. But one day his attitude suddenly changed. The reason was that his wife had received a telephone call from an overseas practitioner about withdrawing from the CCP. The caller asked if there were any CCP members in the family and if so, that they should withdraw from the CCP as soon as possible. His wife didn't say a word and she disconnected the phone. However, those few sentences from the overseas practitioner had a great effect.
When my relative heard about this phone call, he came to change his thinking. He asked me, "How could your Falun Gong practitioners be so consistent? I received a phone call telling me to withdraw from the CCP. I read a flyer in the hallway of my apartment building saying, 'Important Notice.' It was also about withdrawing from the CCP." So I then told him about the current situation of the large numbers of CCP withdrawals and how over two million members had already withdrawn. I also told him that since he was the former secretary of the Communist Party in his workplace, he should withdraw. His attitude changed tremendously and he told me quietly that he hadn't paid the membership fee for over ten years and that he had not been a member for quite a long time. I then continued, "If you are not a member any more, why don't you announce it. Won't that make you even cleaner?" He responded, "Then help me announce it officially. I withdraw!"
Thank you, overseas practitioners. Every phone call you make is a great effort towards saving sentient beings, even if you only have the opportunity to say a few sentences.
After this occurrence, I've also realized a principle: when we clarify the truth in many different ways, all of our efforts accumulate together to save sentient beings. Even if a person is poisoned very deeply by the CCP, as he or she hears more and more of the truth, that person will naturally understand how immense the current of CCP withdrawals actually is. They will come to understand that withdrawing from the CCP is not some isolated event, but rather it is a great tide running through the whole of society. Once a person truly comes to understand the evil nature of the CCP, they will withdraw immediately.
