My Experience in Making Materials that Contain the True Facts about Falun Dafa

While talking about how to produce Falun Dafa materials, I felt Teacher's great benevolence. I am 60 years old and was only educated to the third grade. Not long ago, two months after I was released from a detention centre I was captured and sent to a brainwashing class. At the brainwashing class, I saw that the police viciously tortured young and educated Falun Gong practitioners, especially those who were involved in producing Falun Dafa materials. As a result, most of them were sentenced for a long period of time. Once I had a conversation with a policeman. I asked him the reason for long-term sentences given to young and well-educated practitioners; the policeman simply replied that locking up those practitioners would reduce the production of Falun Dafa materials. After that conversation I thought that if the educated practitioners are arrested, then those who are less educated practitioners, like me, should learn how to make Falun Dafa materials.

After I got back from the brainwashing class, I was responsible for delivering the Falun Dafa materials. I could not share ideas with the other practitioners, because I had no knowledge about electronic equipment except for turning them on and off. I could not even handle the on-off button of the TV. However, since I thought about this, Teacher made arrangements for me.

One day, a practitioner suggested setting up a Falun Dafa information centre at my home, which would involve myself and another practitioner. She promised to teach us to use the computer. But where would I find a person who could work with me? Some practitioners were too afraid. Finally, I found a female practitioner who we will refer to as Angie, who was responsible for material delivery, just like me. But she was disabled and was also less educated. Nevertheless, the Falun Dafa information centre was created.

At the beginning, the practitioner taught us step by step with great patience. She made sure that we could handle the tasks before she left for other responsibilities. We knew how to handle the computer when she was there beside us, but as soon as she stepped out the door, we forgot the whole thing. I had learnt how to type using a single finger for several days. Sometimes I was so tired that I got cramps in my hands. Angie was younger and was able to pick things up faster than me. By the time we learnt how to turn the computer on and off, we had screwed up the computer system. The practitioner who was guiding us encouraged us not to give up. She had the computer system reinstalled. When we saw that the computer was moved in and out of our house, we were worried that the police might be watching.

The practitioner with the computer skills also taught us how to download, print and organise the Falun Gong website articles when they came out. She also walked us through the whole process and put together the weekly articles as an example of how to make pamphlets. She was very busy and did not have enough time to watch the whole process again. She left before making sure that we knew how to operate the computer. However, after she left, we forgot some of the things. We ended up spending a whole night to make six Falun Gong website weekly pamphlets, and did not quite finish the job. Finally, we had to reprint some of the missing pages and paste them in the pamphlets.

We also had quite a lot disruption. Angie went to work during the day. When we just started the information centre, she had met with a car accident which caused her collarbones to swell. Yet she was very firm and insisted on going to buy paper and ink. I saw she was too tired and offered to go out shopping with her in order to get a large quantity of the materials required. We ended up buying a whole box of paper. As the money was from some fellow practitioners and was to be used for Falun Dafa materials, we did not want to spend any of it on a taxi. We tied the paper box to the backseat of the bicycle. I was holding the bike while Angie was holding the box on the back. On the road back home, Angie's hands slipped, and the entire box of paper fell onto my ankle. I was in great pain, which was hard to bear. I walked slowly back home on my injured ankle. I saw that Angie was dragging the big box using her uninjured hand.

After practising for a few days, we were able to independently handle the information centre. Now, we can access the website, download and print the files, and we can also type. Soon we will learn how to make books.

The reason behind telling my story is to let everyone know the following: Don't be afraid. We have Teacher with us and have the teachings in Falun Dafa to guide us, as long as we listen to Teacher's words, and do the three things well and deny the old force arrangements, we can accomplish anything.
