Clarifying the Truth and Helping People Withdraw from the CCP in My Daily Life and Work
By a Falun Gong practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) I work in a grain warehouse, and I would like to share
my thoughts and experiences of clarifying the truth and persuading people to
withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Communist Youth League, and
the Communist Young Pioneers. Please kindly point out any inadequacies in my
understanding. When I first read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,
I responded like many fellow practitioners did. I wrote a statement to withdraw
from the CCP and published it on The Epoch Times website. After studying
the Fa, I became increasingly convinced that we should help all the predestined
people to withdraw from the evil CCP for the sake of their futures. I had already developed a habit of clarifying the truth to everyone I met, so
I went on the streets and tried to persuade all my acquaintances to withdraw
from the CCP. However, no one would do it. At the time the Nine Commentaries was
scarce in China. Many people were not even aware of the Nine Commentaries.
As I patiently told them about parts of the Nine Commentaries, my
acquaintances began to learn the truth about the CCP. Some of them started to
ask how they could withdraw from the CCP. I finally started to make some
progress. I started to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP at my workplace. My job
is to collect grain. Since the spring of 2005, I have been telling people who
come to deposit grain that Falun Gong is good. I also tell them about the CCP's
crimes, its nature of deceit, evil, and corruption, as well as the manifestation
of the CCP's nature in our daily life. Most of the people depositing grain are
farmers and have a limited education. With that in mind, I used very colloquial
language and simple examples to illustrate my points. Most of them agreed to
withdraw from the CCP. At first, I had an attachment to fear to a degree, so I had to memorize the
names of those people asking to withdraw from the CCP. Later I followed the
example found in an article in Minghui Weekly (printed digest of Minghui/Clearwisdom
articles) that a fellow practitioner carried a notebook and a pen with him at
all times so that he could write down the names or nicknames of those people
asking to withdraw from the CCP. Throughout 2005, I patiently explained to one
person after another the importance of withdrawing from the CCP. I have
basically clarified the truth about the CCP to everyone coming to our grain
warehouse. This task has become much easier this year. The Nine Commentaries and
Falun Gong's truth-clarification materials continue to spread in my area because
there are significantly more Falun Gong practitioners here. People in my area
are becoming increasingly aware of the truth about the CCP. My repeated,
consistent efforts are starting to pay off. People come in small groups of three
to five to deposit grain. Those who have already withdrawn from the CCP are also
helping with our cause. They have become very close acquaintances. Sometimes
when they come with their friends, they would tell me right away. "He
joined the CCP's organizations, but he has not withdrawn from them. Why don't
you talk to him?" After a person asks to withdraw from the CCP following my
truth-clarification, I tell him, "Talk to your family about it after you go
home. If they ask to withdraw from the CCP as well, please feel free to tell me
and I will take care of it." Hopefully this will create a chain reaction of
withdrawing from the CCP. At the beginning of the growing trend to withdraw from the CCP, I tried to
persuade my wife to withdraw from the CCP's Youth League. She didn't agree and
said a lot of nasty things. When I went out at night to join group Fa study or
to clarify the truth, she would lock me out. I was not upset with her, knowing
where she was coming from. I was repeatedly persecuted by the CCP and was imprisoned for a long time.
During that period of time, she had to take care of our children by herself and
had suffered a great deal. Besides, I am a cultivator and I should forgive and
tolerate others, especially my own wife. I decided to clarify the truth to other
family members first. As a result, most of my family members have withdrawn from
the CCP. One day I watered my farming field of a few acres. I returned home looking
dirty and tired. My wife looked at me and suddenly asked to withdraw from the
CCP Youth League. I learned that there are many opportunities to improve myself
during the process and that many things are reflections of my mind and
cultivation state. I should not be picky about the time or occasion when it comes to saving
people. I should try to save everyone I meet. One day I came across a construction site with about a dozen construction
workers working on a new home. I approached them and clarified the truth to
them. I actually knew one of them. I asked them to remember that Falun Gong is
good and explained the benefits of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated
organizations. All of them asked to withdraw from the CCP because they felt I
was truly thinking of their own good. Sometimes when I travel to neighboring villages, I clarify the truth to
people I meet on the streets. Usually they ask to withdraw from the CCP within a
few minutes because they have already read the truth-clarification materials
distributed by my fellow practitioners. During wheat harvest time, all the farming households in my area have to wait
for their turn to use the paddy harvesting machine. While they are waiting, I
tell them about withdrawing from the CCP. The majority of farmers accepted the
truth and asked to withdraw from the CCP using nicknames. One day about 100
people asked to withdraw from the CCP. Those people who have accepted the truth are longing for Teacher's salvation.
One day my boss sent me to a neighboring county in the south for a freight
function. I stayed at an economy hotel where many guests shared one room. I
clarified the truth to other guests in my room and convinced them to withdraw
from the CCP. One of the guests was an elderly man. When I told him about the
trend to withdraw from the CCP, he became very emotional and grabbed my hands
tightly. He told me, "I have finally found someone who can help me withdraw
from the CCP! I have finally found someone who can help me withdraw from the CCP!" I commute to work on a motor scooter. Like a fellow practitioner whose story
was published in Minghui Weekly, I stop the scooter when I see a
pedestrian on the way and talk to him about withdrawing from the CCP. It has
been a very effective approach. Over the past year of efforts, I have become convinced that the knowing side
of people is longing for Teacher's salvation. To clarify the truth well, I must
study the Fa well and study the Fa more. This is the fundamental guarantee that
my truth-clarification efforts will succeed. Meanwhile, I must send forth
righteous thoughts frequently to eliminate the interference from the evil
elements and lives attempting to sabotage my work. In addition, we must read the Nine Commentaries as well. If we want to
talk people into withdrawing from the CCP, we must see through the CCP's evil
nature, as well as the many manifestations of its evil nature in our daily life.
We must identify the CCP's culture within us and remove it from ourselves in
time. I read the Nine Commentaries about once a month and it is very
helpful. I don't think the CCP is worried about its evil deeds being known. In
fact, I think it even wants to publicize its evil deeds to assert terror and
absolute authority to control the Chinese people. But I think the CCP is
frightened when the Chinese people see through its evil nature and decide to
abandon it. It is important that we share our experiences with fellow
practitioners from time to time, form one body, and cooperate with each other.
Because of fellow practitioners' constant and persistent distribution of
truth-clarification materials, it has become easier for me to convince people to
withdraw from the CCP. This is a good example of the effect of cooperation. In
short, Falun Gong practitioners must do our best in following Teacher's Fa and
create an environment to save sentient beings because we are Dafa practitioners
in the Fa-rectification period. I would like to thank Teacher for His compassionate salvation and protection,
as well as His tremendous sacrifices.
