Steadfastly Saving People Throughout the Years

(Minghui.org) I missed an opportunity to start practicing Falun Dafa years ago, but I had another chance in 2004. A relative who came to wish my father-in-law a happy birthday brought over one of Master’s articles (I cannot remember which one), which I read that evening. As I read, I became both excited and regretful. I also had an insight about life.

The reason I was excited was that I saw so many heavenly secrets in the article. I understood why Master introduced Falun Dafa to the world and why I was alive. What I regretted was not enlightening years ago—and instead indulging in ordinary people’s affairs and missing the opportunity to practice Falun Dafa. I shouted in my heart, “I want to cultivate and become a good person! I want to save people!”

I began to carry out my promise. I clarified the truth about Dafa to my co-workers, pupils in my classes, my neighbors, my former colleagues, and my husband’s colleagues and friends. The whole town soon knew that I practiced Falun Dafa.

People had different reactions. Looking back, my initial understanding of the teachings was shallow, so my “daring” way of doing things seems amusing now.

I borrowed all of Master’s lectures from another practitioner and read them. While I continued rectifying myself and saving people, I gradually found a path that was suitable for me. I’d like to tell you about my experiences.

Do Not Wait for Others

It took a long time get informational materials about Dafa because I lived some distance from other practitioners. Since I was eager to get started I was concerned, but I didn’t know what to do. Perhaps Master saw my sincere wish—I realized that a certain article in Minghui Weekly was suitable for a certain people, so I asked a relative to make copies for me. I distributed them at a company that I was familiar with. I sometimes also wrote “Falun Dafa is good, Restore Master’s name” on utility poles with chalk.

I later moved into town, and purchased a computer, a printer, and other equipment. I began making materials to clarify the truth.

New Opportunities To Save People

Since more practitioners live in the city, I now had an environment which helped point out where I needed to improve. I felt that I progressed rapidly. I kept seeing my deficiencies, and kept rectifying myself based on Dafa’s principles. I also used different approaches to tell people the facts about Falun Dafa.

The methods used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to monitor people keeps growing alongside innovations in technology and electronics. Almost all residential communities have now installed surveillance cameras, which make it more difficult for practitioners to save people. Fewer practitioners were going to buildings to distribute materials, and discarded materials could occasionally be seen blowing along the streets. I felt sad.

I read articles on the Minghui website which contained photos of practitioners’ activities, such as gatherings on World Falun Dafa Day, solemn remembrances of July 20, and other events—the photos were beautiful and grand. It would be good if we could show them to people. With Master’s help, I had an idea to post these articles in hallways. This would be simple to do, and people could see what it was about in one glance.

So I downloaded these news reports from Minghui.org, and selected those with vivid colors, and grand scenes. I added captions near the pictures, and printed them on A4 sticker paper. I found good spots in hallways and posted them nice and square. Another practitioner helped me. One of us sent forth righteous thoughts and kept an eye on our surroundings while the other posted the articles.

I was occasionally spotted, but I never got into trouble. I once went to a neighborhood where many surveillance cameras were installed. I ignored safety and tried to hurry. Going from one hallway to another, I was spotted by the building guard.

He scolded me, “How dare you? Did you post those? What do you have in your hand? Give them to me!”

This caught me off-guard and I panicked a bit at first. I calmed down, smiled, and said, “Brother, this information about Falun Dafa helps tell people the facts about the persecution and can save people. What can you do with them?”

He threatened me, “I am from the security bureau. I will call the police if you don’t leave.”

I kept smiling and said, “You are a kind person. It’s almost the New Year. You wouldn’t do that. Practitioners only wish the best for people, that’s why we distribute these materials.”

He sneered, “You are brave! Get out and don’t come back!”

Another day, as I was putting up a poster in a hallway, a man suddenly came in from outside, leaving me no time to hide. I eliminated my fear and said to him with a smile, “Sir, please quit the CCP so that you will be safe.” He nodded and said, “I did it long ago.”

This reminded me of Master’s poem,

“Through an evil fog still lingers over ChinaAwareness of Dafa is spreading to each houseLives are rescued, minds gradually awakenedWaking, police and citizens cease to obstruct...”(“Glimpses of Goodness,” Hong Yin III)

With the availability of cell phones and voice messages, these became important methods to clarify the truth and tell people the facts about Dafa. Master told us that all the world’s people were once his relatives, so we should not distinguish between areas or races. In the past few years, I tried to use WeChat and MMS to tell people the facts and send photos about Falun Dafa, so more people could know about Dafa.

Because cell phones now need to be registered, this greatly hampered our ability to use them to tell people the facts. I hope all practitioners will send forth righteous thoughts to dissolve the remaining obstacles created by the old forces and eliminate whatever interferes with people’s ability to hear and understand the truth.
