By Xi Cheng, a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jilin Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) A Falun Gong practitioner I know works in a Chinese university. In the past, he was recognized as a Model Employee every year because of his outstanding performance at work. However, since the persecution against Falun Dafa started, and because he practiced Falun Gong, his workplace revoked his Model Employee qualifications for three consecutive years due to pressure from upper management. Facing the evil persecution and all kinds of other unfair treatment, he enlightened to the fact that safeguarding his own rights is also a way of embodying Dafa and validating Dafa.

He started to talk to his bosses in charge and asked why his qualification of Model Employee was revoked, and utilized the opportunity to clarify the truth to them. He told them that our Teacher told us to be a good person no matter where we are. And he told them that although we do not fight for personal gains, they should know that Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people, and that they should treat Dafa and Dafa practitioners well. After learning the facts and understanding the truth, his bosses nodded.

This practitioner also clarified the truth to as many people he met at work as he could. His good behavior has earned him respect from his bosses, coworkers, relatives, friends and neighbors. They are able to understand the situation now.

The railway station near his workplace has large numbers of commuters passing through, and dozens of trains come and go from this station every day. To help more people learn the facts about Falun Dafa, he and several other local practitioners painted five big characters in red reading, "Falun Dafa is good," on the wall next to the only road that leads to the railway station. Every character was more than one meter tall. Pedestrians and passengers on the train could read them clearly even from a distance. When the railway station staff saw them, they went to the university and asked the university officials to deal with it, because this part of the road belongs to the university. But the university official did not want to erase the Dafa sign himself and instead sent his Section Chief to handle it. The Section Chief had also understood the facts about Falun Dafa, and he did not want to remove the sign either, so he sent his staff in the construction team to do it. Because this practitioner had persistently clarified the truth to people around him during the past years, everyone around him understood the principle of "good actions meet with good returns, and evil actions will bring karmic retribution." So nobody in the construction team was willing to remove the Falun Dafa sign either.

Every year, this practitioner would repaint the characters to maintain its brightness, so train passengers could easily read it. Through all these years, the message has been there next to the railway station and nobody has been willing to remove it.
