(Minghui.org) I went to Hong Kong to participate in a Falun Dafa activity. When I got to the tourist site the day before, local practitioners had already hung up banners and set up display boards. We were out in the direct sun.

I began to demonstrate the exercises for tourists. It was so hot that sweat just poured off me. I felt it was nothing compared to what fellow practitioners endure in China. Many tourists from China were astonished to see what I was doing. “Look, look, Falun Gong!” Some read the banners out loud, and others imitated the movements. Many people took pictures of me doing the exercise. I sensed that the lies concocted by the CCP were dissolving.

When I did the second exercise, my arms felt as if they were on fire. Another practitioner gave me something to cover my arms and brought me a bottle of ice water. Exercising under the baking sun, I felt as if I'd been thrown into a furnace—every inch of my skin was burning. Before I reached the limit of my endurance, a cloud covered the sun and a breeze kicked up! I felt as if a shell had been sloughed off. How wonderful it felt!

This experience made me admire the local practitioners even more. Year after year, all year long, they persevere in informing people about the persecution!

Master taught us:

“By leading you all in doing Shen Yun, Master is in fact giving you a model. I have made Shen Yun the best show in the world. At the very least, in the performing arts, in the field of the arts, it’s playing the lead role.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2013 Greater New York Fa Conference”)

I understand that, to play the leading role, we have to use our powers of persuasion and influence to be able to effectively save more sentient beings. If every one of us in every project is able to play a leading role, how powerful that would be.

Each time we put together a parade in Hong Kong, the Tian Guo Marching Band leads us. Showcasing the wonder of Falun Dafa, they play a leading role. The band members are among the best performers from different countries. They have to audition to participate in the parade. The standard is rising, particularly at the current Fa-rectification period. Each of them has to work very hard to improve his or her skills and to pay attention to the event at hand.

I walked right behind the band and enjoyed their performance immensely. I know they are all volunteers and have to use their spare time to learn the pieces and practice their instruments. They are also involved in many other Dafa projects and have to balance their time to seize every moment to practice. I know how much effort they put in, since I am in the Tian Guo Marching Band in my area.

More people learned about how great Falun Dafa is and just how evil the CCP really is. The residents of Hong Kong are becoming more and more irate with the CCP as it infiltrates Hong Kong and as they lose more of their freedoms. They know now that the “one country, two systems” was a lie.

Master told us most recently:

“What I am ultimately trying to convey to you is that it was all for this affair that you came here! So you have no choice [but to do all of this well]; there is really no other way! That’s the case for Dafa disciples. For ordinary people it’s fine to reincarnate however they may. But that’s not an option for you, as you are here for Dafa and its great undertaking. So if you don’t do well you will be left with regrets. And I especially want to remind our veteran Dafa disciples not to slack off. You have gone through so many long and grueling years to make it to this day, and it really hasn’t been easy! Do you not know to value and cherish yourselves? I certainly cherish you! And divine beings do too! (Applause.) So all the more so should you value and cherish yourselves.” (“2018 Fa Teaching Given in Washington, D.C.”)

Even though I am young, I have been cultivating for 21 years. When I go through tribulations, even though my understanding of the Fa teaching might be shallow, based on my firm belief in Master and the Fa, I've overcome many tests. But I still feel it is so hard to elevate further. After reading the recent teaching, I am more clear now. As long as we are diligent, no matter how hard it is, we will make it.

I wrote many experiences sharing articles in the past, but they were never published, and I lost my confidence to write anything else. I knew that was not a righteous thought. How could I write just so that it would be published? I must have a problem somewhere, but what was it? When I read a sharing article by a practitioner in Japan, I realized where my problem lay. His article was clean and pure, real and down to earth. My article was full of empty words and cliches. I made up my mind to change my writing style, to be simple and straightforward. When I realized my problem, Master granted me wisdom. Sometimes new ideas flew into my head and it was quite easy to write. I realized that writing is also a process of cultivating xinxing. I was able to catch my attachments of elation, showing off, self-validation, jealousy, and selfishness, and to eliminate them through the process.

Many young disciples like me started practicing Dafa before 1999 and are now grown up. Many of them are well educated and experts in many areas. I hope they will also write down their cultivation experiences to validate the Fa. Let us share with the world the wonder and magnificence of Falun Dafa!
