"They Are All Thugs and Gangsters Whose Daily Job Is to Make Trouble for Falun Gong"

By a practitioner in China

One day, when I went to hand out truth-clarifying materials at an intersection, I saw a middle-aged woman selling some clothes beside the street. I approached her and bought a hat, and took the chance to clarify the truth to her.

In our chat I learned that she had been without a job for many years, and lived on her 100 Yuan (Chinese currency, the average monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan) monthly allowance. The reason that she ran this small business was to support her son in college. I asked her if she knew anything about Falun Gong. She talked about the scandals that were presented on TV, and obviously she had been badly influenced by that. I clarified the truth to her about Falun Gong for each incident one by one. Then I told her my personal story. I told her that after I started practicing Falun Gong I refused any gifts or bribes when I was in charge of the financial department in my work unit. After hearing that she said surprisingly, "Aren't we all deceived then? No wonder we see your Falun Gong posters on the street very frequently. Why would people still believe in it if it was not good? If everyone acts like Falun Gong practitioners, then the officials won't be corrupt anymore."

By that time some passers-by had been attracted by our talk and gathered around us. Suddenly the lady shouted, "Tigers are here!" A city appearance management official came with several persons and began taking away the lady's things. I tried to stop them by saying, "Aren't you always talking about 'three representatives' [one of them is to represent the basic rights of all Chinese people]? It is not easy for this lady to run her business. If her business did damage to the city's appearance you could ask her to leave, but please don't take away her things." The city appearance management official responded with curses and dirty words. He confiscated many of her things and then left.

Someone in the crowd said, "Among those people there is only one city official, the rest of them are all thugs and gangsters. Those things seized by them are either divided among themselves or exchanged for drinks. The authorities do not take care of such bad things. On the contrary, they always try to make trouble for Falun Gong. Will they receive retribution?"

I told people the principle of "good will be rewarded with good and evil meets evil," while trying to comfort the lady. I also gave them truth-clarifying materials. All of them accepted the material and thanked me.
