(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa before July 20, 1999, when the persecution began. I was suffering from a dozen illnesses at the time. I was on the edge of death daily before cultivating in Dafa. I recovered from all my illnesses after cultivating for only three months. I was grateful and loved the life of studying, and spreading the Fa day after day.
However, Jiang’s regime and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the genocidal persecution against Falun Dafa in 1999. China’s judicial system became the CCP’s tool for arresting, sentencing, and imprisoning innocent Falun Dafa practitioners. In addition, many practitioners were fired from their jobs, and their salaries were illegally deducted. I was one such practitioner who faced this persecution.
I made up my mind that I had to ask for the return of my salary, as well as use the opportunity to clarify the truth to the CCP officials. I held no fear and firmly believed I could get back my illegally deducted salary. I am a Dafa practitioner with the divine power bestowed by Dafa, and am helping Master rectify the Fa. I was sure that Dafa would give me the wisdom and power to complete my mission. I understand that Dafa practitioners’ salaries are given by gods to help Master rectify and validate the Fa. No one can confiscate it.
I first studied and memorized the specific laws that could be useful to get my salary back. I went to my workplace first to ask for my salary, but they claimed that the Bureau of Education and Sports was responsible. They told me that Mr. Wang, the political section head of the bureau ordered them to stop paying my salary, and showed me the notification letter they got from Wang. I informed them that Article 56, Chapter 9 of the Civil Servant Law stipulates that civil servants also bear certain legal responsibilities if implementing wrongful decisions.
I visited Wang in the bureau the next day and questioned why he made the decision to deduct my salary. He said rudely that it was because I practiced Falun Dafa. I asked him which law I had broken by practicing Falun Dafa. He was shocked, “Don’t you watch TV?”
I told him righteously, “The TV is not the law. Falun Dafa is totally legal in China. You are the one who broke the law. The criminal law stipulates that a citizen cannot be convicted without breaking specific laws. You also violated articles 35 and 36 of the Constitution and article 399 of the criminal law. I should sue you for breaking the law and hold you responsible for the crime you committed. However, I don’t want to do it as I know your family will be implicated, and you will also suffer. I know you have no resentment towards me and you have been deceived by the lies from Jiang Zemin’s regime. If you knew the truth, you would not have deducted my salary, nor followed Jiang’s dictates in slandering Falun Dafa.”
Wang shouted, “Don’t come here to promote Falun Gong.”
I replied calmly, “It is your choice whether you want to listen. But there are other people in the office. They want to listen to the truth and choose a better future.”
I elaborated to the people in the office, “You don’t know the real Falun Dafa at all. All you know are the lies created by the CCP and Jiang. Falun Dafa is the Buddha Fa. It is Gods’ mercy to let Dafa spread in the world and let people be saved. Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans were created by gods. The ignorant people who follow the CCP and engage in atheism will not be saved, and are harming themselves. The people who persecute Falun Dafa will eventually be punished by law, as well as by heaven.”
I continued, “Falun Dafa has spread to more than 100 countries and worldwide and benefited countless people. Falun Dafa received more than 1,000 international awards and proclamations. Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, has been translated into 40 languages, and is by far the most translated Chinese language book. Falun Dafa is welcome throughout the world, but is only suppressed in China. You should really think it through.”
“From the historical point of view, all those who persecuted the Buddha Fa in the past received retribution. Not just that, but their family members were also implicated. Jiang Zemin and the main culprits who persecuted Falun Dafa have already been designated as criminals who committed genocide, crimes against humanity, and crimes of torture. They will face justice soon, and be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history.”
The director sitting opposite to Wang stood up and poured a glass of water for me, “Auntie, please drink a glass of water. To be honest, we don’t want to withhold your salary either. The 610 Office forced us to do it.” I told him the 610 Office is an illegal organization, not above the law, and they should not listen to the 610 Office.
The director said in the end, “How about we repay you the deducted salary starting next month, along with your new salary? What do you think?”
I agreed and told them, “Falun Dafa teaches people to be good, and think of others first. I didn’t come here to cause trouble. To be honest, I don’t really think of my salary that much. I wanted to tell you the truth, and help you understand that Dafa saves people. I wish that you recognize Falun Dafa is good and choose a bright future for you and your family.” He thanked me for my kindness. I said to him, “Our Master taught us to do this. You should really thank Dafa's Master.”
