By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) After July 20^th, 1999, facing pressure from all directions, I firmly persisted in cultivating Dafa. Half a year later, I was transferred to a new work unit. On the first day of work, everyone looked at me in a curious manner and the supervisors appeared to be upset at me. The supervisor who transferred me there looked embarrassed. Nevertheless, I felt calm and at ease.

On my third day at the new work unit, the supervisors there invited management at the work unit to a meeting to discuss me. They were opposed to my taking over the new job. First, I practiced Falun Gong. Second, it was said that I was not a member of the professional staff but a factory worker before. Third, my temperament was too mild. I didn't worry about it, and in the following six months, I worked very hard and without any complaint.

At the beginning of the next year, I was assigned to a more important position. A few days later, the higher authorities received a secret report again, and they sent some people to check on my work. Facing more than 40 people -- nine of them higher level management -- I completed my work calmly and with no problems whatsoever. They gave me a very high rating, as my professional skill seemed to far exceed their expectations.

In such an environment, I strictly required myself to live by the principles of Dafa and to keep looking inside to improve myself. I grasped any good opportunities to expose the evil, to awaken people's conscience, to spread Dafa and to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions behind the persecution.

I am always happy, full of energy and reasonable. The supervisors and colleagues from my original work unit said: "This person would not be able to handle all of this if he were not practicing Falun Gong. If we had been in that situation, no one could suffer through it. We respect Teacher Li." One colleague told me: "When you introduced Falun Gong to me before, I didn't care for it. Now I want to learn it from you. It will be a great benefit to me." Although she didn't practice, she already knew that Dafa was good. Among the children I contacted, some told me that they would help to fix the Dafa banners when they saw that they'd fallen. They would stop people who wanted to remove the truth-clarifying materials, and they would tell them that doing so would bring tribulation. Some said to me, "We are the members of the protecting team." Some picked up the truth-clarifying materials and read them at home. Sometimes we recited together poems from Master's Hong Yin. Sometimes they listen to me reciting Lunyu (the foreword of Zhuan Falun) and clarifying the truth.
