(Clearwisdom.net) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for seven years and came abroad six years ago. Ever since the "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" were published, practitioners overseas and in China and others who learned the facts are trying their best to urge Communist Party members to quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). They are also encouraging people to quit the Chinese Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers - to sever any ties with the evil CCP and find their way back to their true selves.
Influenced by the CCP's culture, my mother had joined the CCP when she was young. Even though she knew that the CCP is bad, she could only expose the CCP's criminal behavior within the CCP's culture, maintaining her forced loyalty to the Party. Since she came overseas last September I talked to her often and asked her to quit the CCP, but she couldn't because of the ingrained CCP culture.
I took my mother to the local World Falun Dafa Day celebration this year, coincidently it was also Mother's Day. While enjoying the practitioners' self-composed performances, feeling the beauty of Falun Dafa and the practitioners' authenticity and compassion, my mother was moved. I believe the Party's effect on her was reduced to a minimum. She finally agreed this time when I asked her to quit the CCP! I was very happy, feeling that it was the best Mother's Day gift for her ever.
This incident taught me that, no matter whether it is your family member or friends, do not give up on them just because they had failed once or twice to quit. We should never give up encouraging them to quit and try with all means to solve the issues or questions in their minds that keep them from quitting the CCP, so we can offer them salvation.
