(Minghui.org) The Communist Party secretary at my work called me to his office in April 2021. He is a young guy. He told me happily, “There is a wonderful opportunity for you. Do you want to take it?” I asked him what it was.

He said, “You were cited by the police department, weren’t you? Now there is an opportunity for you to eliminate your citation unconditionally. Do you want to do it?”

I said, “I know there is a campaign to ‘zero out’ Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) practitioners. I am certainly happy to take it if it is truly unconditional. I was cited for no reason in the first place. I was discriminated against when I traveled, and for a number of reasons. Certainly I am happy if they can remove it for me, as long as I don’t need to sign anything.”

He told me that it may require one signature, but nothing more. I said, “I really thought you were doing something good for me and wouldn’t need me to sign anything.”

I thought, “Normally I need to look for people to tell them facts about Falun Gong. Now someone is coming to me. This is a person with a predestined relationship that Master has arranged.”

“Falun Gong has been persecuted for over 20 years,” I said. “Now they want me to sign a paper and say that I had nothing to do with Falun Gong. What about the 20 years of persecution then?”

I continued, “Besides, even though Falun Gong has been persecuted for over 20 years, we have not seen any laws stating that Falun Gong is illegal. The nation’s police department and the State Council have a list of 14 cult organizations in the country, and it doesn't include Falun Gong. The State Council Press published a document in 2011 and abolished two ordinances enacted in 1999 to ban Falun Gong books. That means all Falun Gong books are legal.”

“By solely relying on a legal interpretation, authorities have persecuted countless good people and destroyed their families and homes, causing them to leave their homes and lose loved ones. Practitioners lost their jobs, were held in psychiatric hospitals, and even died in prison cells. I have not seen a practitioner harm anyone, their family, society, or the country in all these years. They haven’t done anything wrong. If I follow your suggestion to sign the paper and say that I had nothing to to with Falun Gong, where would my conscience be?”

He said, “They still do not allow it to be practiced.” I said, “I firmly believe that the slander and persecution of Falun Gong will end one day. I will not sign. This is my position.” I then told him more things, including the Tiananmen self-immolation hoax.

In the whole process of the “zero-out” campaign, I realized that everything a practitioner encounters is a part of cultivation and a test for the practitioner himself.

Master said,

“So here are my main hopes, in closing: that you will really become a practitioner and do spiritual practice in earnest; that both veterans of the practice and those new to it will one day be spiritually perfected through Dafa; and that from today forth you will really make the most of your time to practice.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
