(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. Since 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa, I was incarcerated in forced labor camps three times.
I was wanted by the local police in 2012, and my picture was published online. The county's 610 Office ordered the suspension of my pension in February 2008. To make a living, I accepted contract work.
Wherever I went, I never forgot that I was a practitioner and would always talk to people about Dafa.
I worked as a cook in a construction field and met a lot of people. I also lived in the same dorm as the construction workers, which gave me the opportunity to talk to people about the goodness of Dafa.
I also shopped for groceries daily, which was an opportunity for me to tell the facts about the persecution to vendors in the supermarket. Most of them decided to withdraw their membership in the CCP.
Once, when it rained, the construction was halted for a day. So three of the young workers went for a haircut. The hairdresser also happened to be a practitioner and talked to them about Dafa and offered to help them withdraw from the CCP and its youth organizations. They told her that their cook was a practitioner who had already helped them quit the CCP. I met her and she supplied me with up-to-date Falun Dafa informational materials.
As practitioners, we are taught to eliminate attachments. So I reminded myself to get rid of my bad temper and be kind to others. I understood that no matter how others treated me, it was an opportunity for me to improve my moral character. Sometimes, when some people lost their temper, I would not allow my heart to be moved. Later on, these people even made friends with me.
When I met my boss, I talked to him about Falun Dafa in great detail. He decided to quit the CCP, which laid a foundation for my talking to other construction workers.
I changed construction sites in late 2013. I thought, “Wouldn't it be great if people could watch New Tang Dynasty (NTD) television programs so my coworkers could watch news that is different from the state-run media, and dispel their misunderstandings on the issue of Falun Dafa? So I bought a TV, and a fellow practitioner showed me how to access the NTD network. From then on, the workers came over and watched NTD programs after their shift.
After some of them quit the CCP, they shouted on their way to work, “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!”
Some even shouted out at the construction site from time to time, “Falun Dafa is wonderful!”
Consequently, we have not had any accidents at the construction sites and they do quality work.
Some new workers were from Master Li's (the founder of Falun Dafa) hometown. After watching NTD programs, they said that Master Li was truly wonderful. I then talked to them about Dafa, and they also quit the CCP.
