(Clearwisdom.net) Kindness and compassion are not signs of weakness or submission. Falun Dafa is most remarkable, and has the majestic power of suppressing the evil and eliminating chaos. When clarifying the truth in China, practitioners should pay particular attention to this point. There is a need to directly and concretely expose the evil deeds which have been committed during the persecution of Falun Gong. We must not give people the impression that the evildoers are strong and that Falun Gong is weak and helpless. We should tell people how the evildoers suffer retribution for their misdeeds. Dafa practitioners must be rock-solid. This will help to enhance our confidence to help enlighten all beings.
According to a friend in the central government, before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started suppressing Dafa in 1999, there were very sharp social contradictions and waves of democratic movements.
Jiang Zemin, then head of the CCP, had a headache from all of the petitions from veterans and laid-off workers. He was also anxious about Catholicism, Christianity, Islam and other religious groups. Even the long silent Democratic Party dared to openly raise the idea of exonerating those who were among the students demonstrating in 1989 that led to the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Jiang was facing challenges from all sides.
Jiang was thus eager to whip up another “political campaign.” "Political campaign" is a deceptive communist term which really means an iron-fisted repression targeting whatever group is chosen as the public enemy to “struggle against.” This distracts the public's attention from the real issues of the day.
Jiang chose Falun Gong as the primary target of attack, mainly because he felt that it would be easy to suppress and control. Other potential groups to repress might have been more difficult, he believed, perhaps leading to widespread riots and policy backfire. He believed that Falun Gong, with its central principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, would be weak and easy to overcome, and that suppressing the group would lead to no politically toxic consequences.
In fact, it is Jiang and the CCP bullies who are weak, as they fear the strong. All the evil elements have this same characteristic, including particularly the 610 Office officials and police. They focus their persecution efforts on practitioners they consider to be of low social status and with few family ties. They believe them to be weak and easy to bully. However, they dare not provoke Dafa practitioners who have strong righteous thoughts; those who retain their dignity and are hard to push around.
The people of China, poisoned by CCP brainwashing, are also easily bullied, and play up to the powerful. When they encounter others facing difficulty or misfortune, they distance themselves from them, even adding insult to injury. When these people see someone perceived as powerful, they try to curry favor with them.
For example, when I rode my bicycle to go out to clarify the truth, even good people tried to persuade me not to be stubborn. They advised me to live a good life and not to care about others, for instance those who were persecuting Falun Gong. But when I drove a fancy car to clarify the truth, even the police treated me amicably.
To save the people who have been poisoned by the CCP, we must first establish ourselves and stand upright. We must expose the persecution and show the remarkable and dignified side of Dafa.
