The Story of Two Practitioners in Jilin City
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jilin City
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners A and B from Jilin City,
Liaoning Province, full of righteous thoughts and righteous actions, are going
forward in the journey for validating the Fa and saving sentient beings.
Since July 20, 1999, practitioner A and other local practitioners have
often distributed truth-clarification materials together. One time the local
police station arrested practitioner A, but with righteous thoughts he managed
to escape. Since then he has been on the "610 Office" wanted list. Once, the
authorities from the "610 Office" sent two policemen to his work place to
arrest him. As they passed each other on the stairs, the policemen asked
practitioner A about the practitioner himself. He answered that he hadn't see
that person and continued downstairs. With Teacher's protection, the policemen
failed to arrest him. Later, the policemen went to his work place, to his
home, to his parents' home and to his relatives' home, and they never found
him. Practitioner A continued carrying out Fa-validation and
truth-clarification.
In 2001, with support from his wife, he spent his savings to purchase computer
equipment, VCD recording equipment, paper, glue and other supplies for making
truth-clarification material. He put the material together with rubber
cement, recorded truth-clarification material on VCD, and distributed and
posted a batch of materials as soon as it was completed. Practitioner A also
distributed Teacher's new lectures printed by another practitioner and the "Minghui
Weekly Magazine" to other practitioners without missing a week's publication.
The circulated truth-clarification material helped many people learn the truth
about Falun Dafa.
When he learned that practitioners from other areas had hung up a "Falun
Dafa Is Good" banner, he led the effort to hang up banners in our local area.
First, he made some silkscreens for creating the banners. The two main ones
read "Falun Dafa Is Good", "Falun Dafa Is Righteous". He silkscreened red
paint on to the yellow polyester fabric, and then dried it. It was quite
bright and beautiful. Other practitioners and I helped make the banners and
hung them as soon as they were completed. When other areas had a great need
for banners, we would manufacture large quantities of them, and working in two
shifts we were able to send hundreds of them out. Practitioner A worked
diligently, emphasizing quality. With strong righteous thoughts, he helped
coordinate seven or eight practitioners to work together and form one body.
Toward the latter part of the year, we'd hang banners on tree branches or
electricity lines, so that shortly after we left the scene, the banners would
spread open by themselves. When practitioner A was in a very good state of
mind, every banner that was put out would unfold very quickly, so it was very
difficult for the policemen to remove it, even with the help of machinery to
reach it. If they removed it one day, it re-appeared the next day. When we
started out at sun down with two teams, we could hang over eighty banners and
paste truth clarifying materials over half of the city in about 3-4 hours.
We'd manufacture a batch, then hang and paste it. We continued this process
until spring of 2002. Later, our material site was destroyed, and
practitioners were arrested one after another. When we looked within ourselves
for the reason, we saw our lack of righteous thoughts and learned our lesson.
With strong support by practitioners from other areas, we started again,
making truth-clarification material with the rubber cement and posting it up
when the batch was completed.
In 2003 we included the recording of truth-clarification VCDs in our work,
which continues to this day. The VCDs are of high quality, with tasteful
packaging. In the package we have a short message expressed in words of
truth-clarification or a poem, like: "One kind thought toward Falun Dafa,
Heaven bestows happiness and peace upon you". Truth-clarification pamphlets
with good reading material, nice pictures and a big red character for the word
"Blessing" were also included. The material included in the VCDs explored the
persecution from different angles to help people to learn the facts.
One time practitioner A traveled to another area and learned about an actor
who sang songs full of words slandering Falun Dafa. He went to talk to the
actor privately. With righteous thoughts, he pointed out to the actor the
lyrics in the songs that were lies, false charges fabricated against Falun
Dafa, and poison that harmed people. The actor understood right away and
gladly agreed to make corrections. Wherever practitioner A visited other
areas, he'd always get in touch with local practitioners to study the Fa
together, exchange ideas and deliver the truth-clarification VCDs to them.
Practitioner A is often very helpful to other practitioners and he is
always open to recommendations from them. Practitioners help each other,
working together to ensure good progress. We are determined to follow
Teacher's instruction "Cease not your steps on the path of return" (from the
lecture "Weathering the Storm") and constantly make diligent progress.
Since July 20, 1999, practitioner B and some other practitioners have been
distributing truth-clarification leaflets. She began by posting them near her
house, and later expanded to include other locations. Sometimes she did it
during the day, sometimes late at night. If there were difficulties and
challenges, she endured and overcame whatever she encountered and never gave up. Practitioner B's steps have covered the entire city district, multiple times
in most areas, in order to deliver the leaflets and VCDs, and to put up
truth-clarification materials. She knows the city by heart. She knows the
surrounding environment of residential areas, the characteristics of buildings,
the features of detached buildings, stairway locations, and she notices small
differences in buildings. Thus, she can remember which household did not get
certain truth-clarification material and what should still be delivered there.
It is so clear to her that it is impossible for her to forget any household when
it comes to delivering truth-clarification material.
While other practitioners hung banners, she'd glue the truth-clarification
material on surfaces with rubber cement; when other practitioner made VCDs,
she'd put the VCDs in envelopes and deliver them; if other practitioners wanted
to print a banner, she'd help prepare the pattern and stretch the yellow fabric
for printing; and when other practitioners were printing "Falun Dafa Is Good" or
"Falun Dafa Is Righteous" characters on long colored paper, she'd apply glue on
both sides. She works very well with other practitioners. She does not draw
attention, but she is always there to help. Practitioners agree that she is an
earnest, serious and responsible person.
One time, when practitioner B was delivering truth-clarification material to
a residential area, she was chased by a person as soon as she stepped out of the
door. This person wanted to take her to the police station, and she was
frightened initially. But she quickly calmed down and talked to this person
about the facts. After listening to her, this person left without saying
anything.
When the officials destroyed the location where they made truth-clarification
materials, she took the initiative to talk to her relatives, who were able to
provide housing for practitioners, so that they could continue to make
truth-clarification materials.
Although she is quiet while making informational materials with
practitioners, her righteous thoughts and righteous belief in our Teacher are
evident in her attitude. She does not talk much, but her unparalleled belief in
Falun Dafa is clear from her actions. She experienced some severe tribulations,
but she overcame them by studying the Fa and now she is walking the road toward
maturity.
Many of practitioner B's friends and relatives are not Falun Dafa
practitioners. She and her sister (a Falun Dafa practitioner) endured great
pressure and great tribulations, but she persisted in clarifying the truth
face-to-face and delivering truth-clarification materials, which helped many of
them to learn the facts about Falun Dafa. Her husband was a very timid and
fearful person, but he is not so timid any more, and even helps her in making
truth-clarification material. When one has strong righteous thoughts, one can
change the surrounding environment.
In order for practitioners to have an opportunity to read Teacher's new
lectures sooner rather than later, and in order to let people learn the truth
about Falun Dafa, her sister saved every penny for printing Teacher's new
lectures, Minghui's articles and truth-clarification materials for distribution.
The two sisters are resolved to help more people learn about the truth and
therefore be saved.
For the past five years, practitioner B has been doing the things that she
has resolved to do rain or shine, without any interruption. Her heart is totally
with Dafa and she is on the steady path of saving sentient beings.
