(Minghui.org) Thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have mailed criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), to the Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate since the end of May 2015. These two places are required to process all criminal complaints filed by citizens, according to a recent ruling by the Supreme People's Court.
Generally, a complaint should be received by one of these legal offices within a few days and the sender should receive a receipt.
I ended up writing three criminal complaints against Jiang, and it took 25 days before two were finally received by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
I experienced some xinxing tests during that period. I want to share my experiences with fellow practitioners, so they know how to react under similar circumstances.
Overbearing Attitude Affects Mailing
I did not take the issue of suing Jiang very seriously in the beginning. I thought that it was fine to just talk to more people about the persecution and help them withdraw their membership from the CCP and its affiliates. I didn't realize that suing Jiang would help more people understand the scale of the persecution.
Since this is something practitioners should do, I prepared and mailed my first criminal complaint on July 1, 2015.
I didn't talk to the staff at the Post Office about Falun Gong or tell them why I wanted to sue Jiang. Instead, I was impatient and talked to the clerk in a harsh tone. The outcome of my attitude was obvious – when I checked the status of my mail two days later, it had not been delivered.
Apology Accepted by Post Office Clerk
I mailed another complaint on July 6, and it was still not delivered when I checked two days later.
What was the problem? After studying the Fa and talking with fellow practitioners, I realized that the blocked mail was a reflection of my xinxing. While preparing the complaint, fear, a competitive mentality and impatience surfaced in my mind.
Master has reminded us time and time again that we need to look inward when we experience problems. Yet, I didn't pay enough attention to it and didn't eliminate my attachments.
I changed my attitude and went back to the Post Office to inquire about the mail. I apologized to the clerk for talking to him in a harsh tone. He was surprised and told me that the mail had already been picked up from their office, but he did not know the current status.
I explained to him why we are suing Jiang Zemin and how Jiang persecutes Falun Gong. I told him about the torture, imprisonment and organ harvesting atrocities. He remained silent, but kept nodding his head. I think he understood what I was talking about.
Practitioners who later mailed their complaints at the same Post Office didn't run into any problems.
Importance of Letting Go of Attachments
As my previous two complaints had not been delivered, I went to the post office HQ to mail my complaint for the third time on July 14. When I checked the status a few days later, it seemed that it had been blocked again. I did not think too much about it, but focused on cultivating my xinxing and sending forth righteous thoughts frequently.
Master said:
“To tell you the truth, the entire cultivation process for a practitioner is one of constantly giving up human attachments.” (Zhuan Falun)
I then understood what I had to do. Many of my relatives were not clear about the persecution, so I thought to use my mailing a complaint as the perfect opportunity to talk to them.
I visited them one after another and told them that many Falun Gong practitioners are suing Jiang Zemin because he is responsible for the atrocities committed during this persecution. Many of them understood and withdrew their membership from the CCP.
My strong righteous thoughts also helped me do a better job in talking to people about Falun Gong and helping them to quit the CCP.
To my relief both, the second and third complaints I mailed were eventually received by the Procuratorate.
I now realize that no matter what we do, we need to think of Master and the Fa. We should not be afraid to have attachments, what's important is to eliminate them.
Aligning Every Thought With the Fa
Master said:
“Without human action happening under cosmic changes, such conditions would not have been brought to ordinary human society, and neither would they be called cosmic changes.” (Zhuan Falun)
Suing Jiang is an opportunity that allows practitioners to save sentient beings. We should take it seriously and act upon it.
Master has laid a foundation for everything we do, and we just need to walk the path that is already there.
I also realized that when we are involved in Falun Gong matters, we need to maintain a pure heart and not mix in our human thoughts. Only when we align every thought with the Fa, can we do things well.
In 1999 Jiang Zemin overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong.
The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners in the past 16 years. More have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.
Under his personal direction, the CCP established an extralegal security organ, the 610 Office, on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.
Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
