Three and a half years ago, Teacher published his poem "Hurry Up And Tell Them." I decided to make phone calls to people in China to clarify the truth to them. My first phone call reached an elderly lady with a heavy accent and I couldn't understand what she was saying. On top of that, I was extremely nervous. That experience made me very frustrated. After that, I wasn't able to speak to people face to face to clarify the truth and only participated in other truth-clarification efforts.

At the beginning of last year, I went to Hong Kong twice to explain the facts of Falun Gong to people. I basically just held up posters and distributed truth-clarification materials and sent forth righteous thoughts. I didn't talk to people much, though I really admired those fellow practitioners who are very good at talking to people to help them learn the truth. Last August, I went to some scenic areas on Ali Mountain to clarify the truth. It was drizzling that day. I was with another practitioner. We bumped into three tourists from China at the Sandaimu area. The other practitioner, a girl by herself, talked to those three aggressive tourists who could have been from the Chinese Public Security Bureau. While she did this, I sent forth righteous thoughts under an umbrella.

Those tourists announced, "Those practitioners come here just so they can earn money doing this (handing out truth-clarification flyers)." It was such a shameless lie! I wanted so much to immediately go to them and let them know the truth, but I couldn't open my mouth, probably because of my attachment of fear. Later on, I felt so frustrated with myself. I am a dignified Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner. How could I simply hide in a corner when hearing such lies? How can I even be called a Falun Dafa practitioner? My knees started to hurt and eventually all my bones ached. I had to limp along. I was sleepy those two days on Ali Mountain and slept much longer at night. I felt so helpless! I thought I was diligent yet I found I was so useless!

Teacher said in the article "Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Practitioner:"

The recently exposed Sujiatun Death Camp woke up my true nature and I found it not so formidable to speak to people. Therefore, I decided to go to Hong Kong for the third time to clarify the truth. I made up my mind that this time I would reach out to people and talk to them to help them know the truth.

Even though I was determined to speak out, I actually had no idea how to do it. The first day when we arrived, we went to the Luomazhou area. On my way there, I got to know a fellow practitioner who had been clarifying the truth by making phone calls and I heard she was very good at it. I decided to go with her to watch and learn from her.

But the second we got there, before I had a chance to listen to her much, several tourist buses arrived. All the other practitioners were busy putting up posters. I went up to the tourists and started to speak to them, "Precious Chinese people, welcome to the free land of Hong Kong. Please take a closer look and listen more and take this opportunity to learn the truth. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been persecuting Falun Gong. The heavens and gods are determined to eliminate the CCP. The CCP has been ruling China for 56 years and as killed 80 million Chinese people. Please quit the CCP to save yourself. To live or to die all depends on your one thought." I kept talking loudly to everyone without stopping. I had learned some of these words from other practitioners and I was able to add in things I wanted to say to people.

While I was talking, I suddenly noticed I was "well equipped." I was carrying posters on my back and I had truth-clarification materials in my hand. After talking to several groups of tourists, I realized I was able to speak out very well and all my words seemed to fly up from the bottom of my heart. I had only one thought in my heart: "Clarify the truth to save more people." I just wanted to help those Chinese people get to know the truth. The bad experiences from my previous truth-clarification efforts were completely gone. When I thought of the lyrics of the song "Coming for You," I almost choked on my own tears. It goes, "Coming across numerous mountains and rivers, I come for you again and again. I come because I love you. Precious fellow Chinese..." I am not rich. Yet I came to Hong Kong three times at my own expense. Isn't my sole purpose to explain the facts of Falun Gong to sentient beings?

The next day I was able to do an even better job of clarifying the truth to people by explaining the facts on the posters that I was carrying and I was able to lead people into discussions. For example, two middle-aged Chinese came up to me. They looked like some officials. They said to me, "Aren't you afraid that the CCP will come and get you because you do this?" I said, "No, I'm not. This is a free land." They asked, "Are you going back to China in the future?" I said, "Not in the near future. But I will go back when the CCP has collapsed." They kept laughing and I didn't think they meant well, so I changed to a very serious tone and said to them, "Listen, respecting human rights and protecting kind people is the path that China will take." They were a little shocked by my words and stopped laughing. Then they patted my shoulder and said, "That's right. That's right." Then they nodded to me and left with some truth-clarification materials in their hands. I came to realize that they had come to me to teach me how to clarify the truth to people.

A lady took a truth-clarification newsletter from me and put it in her purse. She asked me, "Is it an anti-CCP newspaper?" I answered, "It's a truth-clarification newspaper and you won't be able to see the facts reported by this newspaper in China." I answered in this way since being anti-CCP is an everyday person's matter while we are only supposed to expose the evil. She asked me, "Will I be able to bring it back into China?" I guess this is one of their biggest concerns. I said, "If you ask your boss, he or she will probably say no, but many people actually do bring it into China." One tourist pulled me aside and said, "You are saving people. Way to go!" I was moved since I could tell everyday people also have their knowing side.

An elderly lady on a tourist bus copied down the words on the posters that I was carrying. I had one on my back and another one in my hand. Each poster was two-sided. When she was done recording one side, she signaled to me so I could turn the poster over. The bus still hadn't left by the time she finished copying my two posters. I hurriedly ran to our booth to get another two posters and ran back to the bus. She and her friends laughed, probably because I ran funny. She recorded eight posters before the bus left and they all waived at me to say goodbye. We didn't talk to each other, but I felt we nonetheless communicated very well.

In those four days, I had many experiences clarifying the truth to people from China. I was a very shy person and I generally only spoke to people that I knew well. Usually my notions would block me from talking to strangers. Besides, I had that bad experience when I first tried to talk to people about Falun Gong over the phone. Three years passed and I missed many opportunities to save sentient beings! Fortunately, our compassionate Teacher didn't leave me behind. He continued to offer me chances to clarify the truth to more people. When I said to people from China, "Please grasp this opportunity to learn the truth," I was also telling myself to grasp each and every chance to clarify the truth by truly speaking out to people."
