Village Secretary Destroys Slanderous Cartoons That Littered His Office Wall

During the spring and summer of this year, cartoons and banners vilifying Falun Gong appeared all over the countryside. My village cadre posted similar slanderous cartoons inside his office to satisfy the Municipal Party Committee and an agency called the "6-10 Office", which is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.

Several Falun Gong practitioners and I were perplexed by this situation. What should we do? When such materials were posted outside, we could find out ways to take them down; posted inside, however, is a different matter. We discussed various approaches, but found our thoughts lacking. We would not reach our goal of clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and saving sentient beings with such an approach. We also saw many potential dangers. We were without righteous thoughts, and therefore lacked righteous actions, causing delay.

One day a Falun Gong practitioner went to take a look inside the office under the pretence of handing in an electric bill. The walls were littered with the slanderous cartoons. The practitioner immediately sent forth righteous thoughts. He spoke about Falun Gong to the village secretary, the director, and an electrician, telling them that Falun Dafa practitioners have been treated unjustly and that Falun Dafa brings hundreds of benefits and no harm to society. He also told how Falun Dafa has spread to over 60 countries. He said, since the persecution initiated by the former President of China Jiang Zemin began, hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners were illegally detained in Chinese labour camps, prisons, and mental hospitals, and over 1,000 practitioners had been tortured to death. He also talked about how those who persecute Falun Gong have suffered different degrees of retribution. After listening, the village secretary tried to make a deal with the practitioner, saying, "We will take down the cartoons, if, in the future, you guys stop posting Falun Dafa materials around town. Agree?" The practitioner answered righteously: "We post our banners to let more and more people learn the truth. Even if I stopped, other practitioners would continue to do it."

After listening, the secretary did not say anything, and personally tore down every single cartoon.
