“There was such an instance in Beijing. It gets dark quite early in winter, and people go to bed early. The streets were very quiet without a soul. A practitioner was hurrying home on a bike with only a jeep running ahead of him. Suddenly, that jeep put on its brakes. He was not aware of it and continued to ride his bike forward with his head down. But that jeep suddenly backed up, and it moved back at a very high speed. If the two forces had met, it would have taken away his life. Just before they were to collide, a force suddenly pulled his bike back more than half a meter, and the jeep stopped at the wheel of his bike all at once. Perhaps the jeep driver discovered that someone was behind him. This practitioner was not scared at that moment. All of those who have encountered these situations were not scared, although they might have been afterwards. The first thing on his mind was, "Wow! Who pulled me back? I have to thank him." When he turned around and was about to express his gratitude, he found the street very quiet with no one around. He understood at once, "It was Teacher who protected me!" (Zhuan Falun)
I am the above practitioner Master mentioned in the book Zhuan Falun. I started to practise Falun Gong on January 3, 1993. On the fourth day on my way home from Master's lecture, this incident happened.
Almost 20 years later, just before the last new year, I was biking to a market to clarify the truth to people. A car drove onto the bicycle path and I was hit and thrown from the bicycle. I was thrown about two metres, and my face and body slid along the ground. The female driver got out of the car and stood in front of me trembling. I stood up and said to her, “I am all right. I have Master protecting me and I will not ask for anything from you. How come you drove your car onto the bicycle path?” She said she was looking for a gas station. When I saw that she was cold and trembling, I only asked her several simple questions, “Have you heard that you will be blessed if you withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations?” She said, “Yes, I have.” “Have you heard that there is a stone inscribing the Chinese characters of 'The Chinese Communist Party will be eliminated'?” “Yes, I have.” “Have you quit the CCP?” She said, “At school I did poorly and didn't join any CCP organizations.” I said, “For your own safety and peace, please remember and recite 'Falun Dafa is Good'. If you recite it often, you will turn bad into good and misfortune into good fortune.” She said, “Thank you. I don't know how much I have to thank you.” I said, “Please thank Falun Dafa's Master.” She said, “Yes, I will remember.” I said, “Please get into your car and don't get cold.” She drove away with tears in her eyes.
I looked at myself. My face was all right and my clothes were not torn. How miraculous it was! Tears rolled down my face. Master protected me again! I am so lucky.
Hardships in My Life Created by the CCP
One month after I was born, my mother passed away. Because my family was very poor, my father gave me away to a local family. My foster father was persecuted by the CCP because he once joined the Kuomintang [Editor's note: The Nationalist Party, which ruled China before the CCP and was defeated in the Chinese Civil War]. During most of his life he had many hardships and suffered a lot.
In 1958, I quit school and found a job in order to make a living. That was during the “Great Leap Forward” [A CCP political campaign that killed millions, 1958-1960]. Every day I left home at 4:00 a.m. and didn't come home until 10:00 p.m. I worked fifteen or sixteen hours a day. I was a worker. The job was dirty and physically taxing, yet I earned very little. I could hardly feed myself let alone send money home.
As I became older, I contracted illness in my kidneys, legs and shoulders. In order to cure my illnesses, I practised several kinds of qigong. Sometimes I became better, sometimes I became worse. Later on, I suffered from chondromalacia patellae and had difficulty walking. My job was then changed for me. I was then on sick leave while working that job.
I Obtain the Fa, My Body Becomes So Light
At the end of 1992 on my way to work I saw an advertisement for a Falun Gong class. I put my name down and attended the class on January 3, 1993. I then started to practice Falun Gong. On the fourth day after listening to Master's lecture, on my way home, the incident happened in which a jeep nearly crashed into me and I was saved by Master. On the seventh day, Master started to purify my body. I started to vomit green water. Later, I vomited dark red things and finally vomited things like asphalt. Then my stomach illness disappeared. Gradually my chondromalacia patellae, omarthritis and hepatitis disappeared.
I was in very good health and high spirits. At work I conducted myself according to Dafa's principles. I did the work that other people were not willing to do. I picked up dirty jobs and never got tired. I didn't fight with other colleagues for personal interests. I worked many extra hours. I got along very well with colleagues. I got awards for “Department Model Worker” and “Plant Model Worker”. Directors of the plant would not let me retire. But I decided to retire in 1997 so that I could go to the park and practice the exercises with other practitioners and share experiences with them. Seeing my huge physical changes, my wife started to practice Dafa as well.
After I retired, my wife and I went to the park to practice the exercises and study the Fa every day. We lived life fully and our family was very harmonious. In April 1999, after the arrest of practitioners in Tianjin, my wife and I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong.
Clarify the Truth and Save Sentient Beings
On July 20, 1999, the CCP started to persecute Dafa on a large scale, and began a massive propaganda campaign against it. In order to let people know the facts of Falun Gong, our Fa study group started to distribute fliers, and put up stickers and banners in 2000. After the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published in 2004, we started to distribute booklets in large quantities and let people know the wicked and cruel nature of the CCP. From 2006 we have been distributing Shen Yun DVDs.
I was arrested and held in a police station during the CCP's 17th National Congress due to my attachment of complacency which the evil took advantage of. I was sent to a detention centre where I didn't reveal my name, didn't wear prison clothes, didn't recite the prison rules and didn't cooperate with the evil. Inmates put their thumbs up when they saw that Dafa practitioners were so determined in their belief. I clarified the truth to them and asked them to withdraw from the CCP. Most of the inmates in the 2nd cell quit the CCP. Some of them used their real names to quit. Some also said that they would learn Falun Gong after they were released. I explained to the director of the detention center, the Procuratorates and the Political and Legal Committee about the staged Tiananmen Square “self-immolation” hoax, about how I recovered from my illness after practicing Falun Gong and about how Jiang Zemin gave away our country's land to other countries for nothing. I told the two investigators who were assigned to me of how the CCP harvested organs from Falun Gong practitioners to make huge profits, about the fact that Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan were wanted internationally, and about various calamities and man-made disasters. The two investigators didn't ask anything about my case. I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and reciting the Fa. Finally with Master's help and practitioners' rescuing efforts, I was able to get out of the detention center with righteous thoughts.
The community centre, however, sent out people to watch over me and harass me after I came back home. I told them about the staged “self-immolation” hoax and about the lack of social stability in China. I asked if any of them had lost any of their bicycles. The community director said that five bicycles in her family had been stolen. Then I said to them, “You don't watch over thieves, but instead good people like Falun Gong practitioners. I am a citizen. Why are you treating a citizen this way? This violates human rights.” They said, “We have no other choice. Our orders from above make us do that.” After they learned the facts, they stopped monitoring me.
I also clarified the truth to the workers who came to renovate my home, and they withdrew from the CCP. Several other homes in my neighbourhood were also having renovations. I clarified the truth to the workers and they quit the CCP as well. Every day I go out to clarify the truth. I clarify the truth to veteran CCP officials who know very well of the Party's struggles and merciless nature. Most of them recognized that Nine Commentaries clearly presents the facts of how wicked the CCP is. These veteran officials often visit each other. When one person has withdrawn from the CCP, he can influence a whole group.
I have the thought of saving people so Master has arranged many predestined people for me. They are from the military, police departments, state ministries, experts, scholars, professors, lecturers, etc. Most of them have withdrawn from the CCP. Some didn't but I was not discouraged. I sent forth righteous thoughts for them and hope that they will be saved when they meet the next practitioner.
My wife and I have asked many people to quit the CCP but we still have a long way to go to catch up with other practitioners who are doing well in this regard. We will study the Fa more, study the Fa well, look inwards and waste no time in letting people know the facts of Falun Gong and helping them withdraw from the CCP. We have to save more sentient beings and play the role a veteran practitioner should.
We are very grateful to Master and also want to thank fellow practitioners.
