Clarifying the Truth About the Persecution to 610 Office Staff

(Minghui.org) Because I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa in 2001, I was arrested and sent to a local detention center. I repeatedly asked to talk to the head of the city’s 610 Office. When he finally came he was aggressive and repeated the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies about Dafa.

After he finished, I said, “First, we’re all educated and you have a master’s degree.” He smiled and asked how I knew. I told him I heard that his academic qualifications were higher than most of the other government officials.

I said, “Master taught me to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—I strive to be kind, improve my moral character, and elevate my spiritual realm. In today’s materialistic society, I constantly use Dafa to purify my body and mind. Yet you slander my Master. How do you think I feel?”

He asked, “What should I call your Master?” I said, “Call him Master or Teacher the same as I do.” He said, “I’ll call him teacher.” I said, “Second, you want to be promoted. However, you can’t climb up by persecuting others. If you slander Falun Dafa and persecute practitioners you are persecuting people. What benefits will be gained by persecuting people? Maybe the person who does this will be hit by a car, or perhaps his career will be over.

“Third, you want to make more money and get a bigger house. But you can’t get it by harming others. You have to be honest and kind, work hard, study hard, and not act badly.

“Fourth, you work in law enforcement and have a lot of power. Wise people use their power to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for themselves. They wouldn’t use their power to persecute others.”

He asked, “What should I do?” I said, “It’s very simple—raise the muzzle of the gun by one centimeter, and whenever you encounter issues concerning Falun Dafa practitioners; give them a break. Don’t arrest them, and release those who have already been arrested. This is doing good deeds, accumulating virtue, and you and your children and grandchildren will be blessed.”

We talked for more than two hours and he was no longer arrogant. He finally stood up walked out of the room with his head down.

I later heard he took a sick leave and retired six years early.

610 Office Leader Switches Jobs

In the summer of 2007, I had a conversation with the head of the 610 Office of the Municipal Police Department. He said, “You are putting up slogans everywhere, saying that the CCP will be destroyed by heaven and quitting the Party will bring safety, isn’t what you’re doing against the Party?” I said, “That’s a misunderstanding. Kind people are warning you that the CCP will collapse. Practitioners won’t destroy it—heaven will. It’s similar to an earthquake expert warning people that a magnitude 8 or above earthquake will occur in a certain place. The expert asks people to leave the danger zone in order to save their lives.”

He understood, and immediately started to curse the CCP. He listed all the despicable things it did over the years. I later heard that he transferred to another department.

Many people who work for the CCP know a lot of truths. Some of them are controlled by the communist specter, and they can’t extricate themselves. This requires us to use our righteous thoughts and compassion to awaken them.

The 610 Office Staff Understands the Truth About the Persecution

In June 2015, I participated in the lawsuit against former CCP head Jiang Zemin, the man who ordered the persecution of Falun Dafa. Because I filed the lawsuit with my real name my workplace leader was nervous and talked to me.

I said, “Don’t be afraid. Jiang Zemin is a citizen, and so am I; Jiang Zemin is a civil servant, and so am I. Falun Dafa teaches people to be good and follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to improve our morals. Practicing Falun Dafa also improves people’s physical and mental health. Out of jealousy and selfishness, Jiang Zemin insisted on suppressing it, and he has not stopped. He is guilty of genocide, torture, and defamation. I sued him with my real name and accused him of trampling on citizens’ legitimate rights. What I did is in line with the principles of heaven and peoples’ hearts.”

The leader said, “The 610 Office told us to talk to you.” I said, “Okay, I’ll go to the 610 Office tomorrow. You know what kind of person I am, and how I do my job. It’s your duty and right to protect good people, your workers, and not be bullied by outsiders.” He said, “We should learn more about Falun Dafa.” I said, “It’s good for everyone to know the truth about the persecution.”

I went to the city 610 Office. I dealt with the office several times, so I knew the staff. We greeted each other and the atmosphere was harmonious. The deputy director offered me a cup of tea and said he was about to look for me. I said, “Because of the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin, you’ve made my workplace very nervous, so I came to talk to you today as friends so everyone can relax.”

I told the staff, “By suing Jiang Zemin with my real name I’m exercising my legal right as a citizen—I’m trying to stop people from doing bad things. The persecution of Falun Dafa is unconstitutional and illegal in China. The Constitution stipulates that citizens have the right to freedom of belief, speech, and publication. No law in China lists Falun Dafa as a cult. Third, the 14 cult organizations identified by the Ministry of Public Security in a document issued on April 9, 2000 excluded Falun Dafa. In other words, the Ministry of Public Security admits that Falun Dafa is not a cult and that it’s not illegal to practice Falun Dafa in China. Fourth, the document signed by the Director General of the General Administration of Press and Publication on March 1, 2011 also stated that all Falun Dafa publications are legal in China.”

The deputy director said, “All departments in China, including newspapers, radio, and television, say that Falun Dafa is illegal, so we have no choice but to follow suit.”

I said, “You shouldn’t try to exonerate yourself from being responsible for carrying out an order that’s illegal. You can’t come up with any legal basis for persecuting Falun Dafa, which means that the persecution of Falun Dafa in China all these years has been a criminal act that violates the law. When the institutions and individuals in China are coerced into participating in the persecution have to engage in criminal acts, isn’t it the wisest thing for them to raise the gun by one centimeter? By doing this a person also leaves a way out for himself and his family.”

They all understood. The deputy director sincerely said to me, “We are good friends, and we will continue being good friends.” I shook his hand and said, “I believe you.” Since then, local practitioners who participated in the lawsuits against Jiang have not been persecuted.

Postscript

Over the years, all the efforts and achievements of local practitioners who persisted in exposing the persecution and saving sentient beings are the courage, wisdom, and ability given by Dafa, and behind all of them are Master’s merciful blessing, protection and his painstaking efforts to save all sentient beings. I hope practitioners around the world continue working together to make greater progress on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation and save more sentient beings in the limited time we have left.

Thank you, Master!
