By a Young Person in China

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a common citizen, but I have a pure and truthful heart. I hope everyone worldwide will choose a positive path.

Over the twenty years of my young life, I have seen people in China fighting others in the pursuit of wealth and prosperity. There is little kindness in these people. I watched people gain wealth by taking things that belong to others, and abuse authority and the power granted to them as officials. We live in a corrupt society where people fight and hurt each other, only to gain advantage over others and a few personal benefits. It's just appalling.

In recent years, I have met many Falun Gong practitioners who deserve my respect. They are so sincere, kind, tolerant and pure! My sincerest hope is that they spread Falun Dafa to every corner of the world. "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" are the principles that human beings should live by. These principles are the basis for social equality and widespread happiness and they are fundamental for a country's prosperity.

I believe that Falun Dafa is very good. It fits the needs of our time. I have been observing secretly the moves and actions of genuine Falun Gong practitioners I know. What they have shown are kindness and compassion to others. They think about others, they dare to tell the truth and they do not cheat. Aren't they what our society really needs today?

In this time of history, many people are seriously ill. They suffer from many illnesses. They are in pain. Long-term hospitalization does not solve their problems. They remain patients. But Falun Gong brings hope to them. I remember one day at the end of last year, the feet of an elderly man of our group suddenly became paralyzed. He saw many doctors and spent all his money before he realized that all was useless. He was waiting for death. One day his granddaughter-in-law found some Falun Gong truth materials in front of his door. He carefully went through the materials. One of the materials suggested that if you keep repeating "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good," you would be healthy and happy. Out of curiosity, he kept repeating "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good" from his heart. Only two days later, he felt much better. On the third morning, he could leave his bed and take care of himself. About three weeks later, he was again able to work on the farm. He was very happy! His neighbors were all surprised and glad for him.

Another example is about an elderly man in his sixties. He had late stage liver ascites. Doctors did not see any hope and thus announced his impending death. He was in such pain that he foresaw his own death. When in deepest despair, one of his friends told him to recite "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good." He immediately began to recite it from deep within his heart. His pains became less and less and his spirit improved more and more. Within a month he recovered and now he can work again on the farm.

In recent years, the "Mark Six" lottery enthralled many people's minds in China. The lottery is responsible for ruining many people's lives. Many people have lost a lot of money because of it. Those involved no longer were interested in their careers and responsibilities. Yet, I did not notice even one Falun Gong practitioner participating in the lottery. They earn their money through hard work. They have shown outstanding moral quality and superior virtue. They are worth our respect! They are models of our time!

It does not matter how you have persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, secretly or openly, directly or indirectly, I just hope that you understand in your heart what Falun Gong really is and what Falun Gong practitioners really are. I hope you have a bright future rather than a dark one.
