Seriously Persuading My Officemates to Quit the Party
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Shanghai
(Clearwisdom.net) Our office is divided into several areas with separators, and each area
became relatively independent individual spaces. This way, people from different
divisions can work in different spaces. This is the model of a concentrated
office that is popular in current companies. This environment also creates
convenience for truth-clarification. Clarifying the truth to one person with a
little louder voice can cause all of the other officemates to hear it, thus the
message naturally spreads. But there are some challenges. For instance, for a
sensitive topic like the "three withdrawals" from the Party and
related organizations, which requires people to declare their stance, if one
person objects and is heard by other people, then it will be difficult to
continue persuading other people to withdraw. Due to my job change, I was going to leave that office. Thinking that there
had not been much progress in the "three withdrawals" here, I felt
very anxious in my heart. I suddenly realized that I could consider using a
different way to persuade people to make the "three withdrawals" in
the office. I started to prepare for it. I prepared the truth-clarifying material by
printing "Epoch Times' solemn statement" on the front side of a A4
sized sheet of paper, and on its back side, the picture and description of the
Stone with Hidden Characters in Guizhou Province (a mysterious rock formation
split, revealing hidden characters that read "Communist Party Dies"),
as well as explanations about why Communist Youth League members whose formal
membership expired due to their age should also declare their withdrawals. I
printed some copies of it. I also made an electronic document with information
about the "three withdrawals" for people who want to declare their
withdrawals. The document includes the website for withdrawing from the
communist party, and a blank form with rows for the names (alias or nickname) of
people who want to declare withdrawals, the declaration time, the organizations
(Communist Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneer Group) to withdraw from, and
the inquiring password for making a declaration. I stored the document in my
computer for future use. I was also prepared to make up names for each of my
officemates in declaring the "three withdrawals." On the next day, during the office's usual break time, I approached the first
colleague, a young man from Shangdong Province who just graduated less than one
year ago. We started to chat about some content from the Nine Commentaries on
Communist Party. The topic naturally came to the "three
withdrawals." I asked him if he knew about the "three
withdrawals." I told him that the Epoch Times had published "Epoch
Times' solemn statement": This evil party has committed horrible crimes in
history, and heaven will definitely eliminate this vicious demon. Those who
remain members of the Chinese Communist Party, Youth League and Young Pioneer
Group face the danger of being eliminated with it. People can publish their
"three withdrawals" statements on Epoch Times' website, have their
marks by the evil specter erased, and secure their safety." While speaking with him, I handed him the truth clarifying material with
"Epoch Time's solemn statement." While he was reading carefully, I
told him that the counted number of "three withdrawals" had reached
ten million, and the "three withdrawals" was already a big trend in
China. Aimed at his thought of "I no longer participate Youth League's
activities, and I can be counted as having withdrawn from Youth League
automatically," I had him read the explanation in the truth-clarifying
material and told him why it was necessary for him to declare the "three
withdrawals." He was still hesitant, so I told him that with the
consideration of people in mainland China who fear being persecuted, people can
use their nickname or alias to declare their "three withdrawals" on
Epoch Times' website. At the same time, I told him that I could visit the Epoch
Times' website by using special software to get through the Internet blockade. I
could declare the withdrawal for him, and I suggested that he use his English
name plus his Chinese surname as his name to declare the "three
withdrawals." As soon as he agreed, I returned to my seat, got on the Epoch Times' website
for withdrawals from the Communist Party, and published the announcement of
withdrawing from the Youth League and Young Pioneers for him. I also filled in
the content of his three withdrawals statement on an electronic version of the
three withdrawals that I had prepared in advance. I printed it out, gave it to
him, and asked him to keep it in a safe place. I also told him about the dynamic
website to access more blocked information and told him to check it. When I heard him sincerely saying "thank you," I was also a bit
moved. A man, instilled with Chinese Communist Party culture since his birth and
lost in this ordinary people's dimension for many years, made the most important
and most correct choice in his life within a short time of around ten minutes.
What's included here were factors from this life's knowing side, his faith that
the Fa rectification will definitely succeed, and his determination to come down
to this world with a heavenly brave heart, and Master's heart of looking after
sentient beings. These factors that are unseen among ordinary people. I then came to my next colleague. He told me that he often got emails with
Dafa truth-clarifying material, and he had also read the Nine Commentaries on
Communist Party a couple of times. He thought what was talked about in the Nine
Commentaries on Communist Party was right, and he asked to withdraw from the
Youth League and Young Pioneers. At this time, a colleague beside us interrupted
us, and asked to just withdraw from Young Pioneers since he never went beyond
that. A manager then piped in and said, "It looks like that at the very
least the three withdrawals doesn't cause any loss, and it might bring some
benefit too. Let me also withdraw." Influenced by this manager, several
other colleagues also withdrew. At this time, one colleague came back from outside and asked, "What
exciting things are happening here?" With some materials in my hands I
approached him and said, "We are talking about the "three
withdrawals," and people here all have already declared their "three
withdrawals." You also seem to be a member of the Youth League, let me also
declare a withdrawal for you." He said casually, "OK." Then he
added, "Why should I withdraw?" I handed him the truth-clarifying
materials and told him that he could find out more about it by visiting the
"three withdrawals" website through the dynamic network. The next day, I found the colleague who had been away on vacation the day
before, and told him about the "three withdrawals" and about what had
happened in the office the day before. He said that he had heard about the
"three withdrawals," but he did not know how to withdraw, and he
wanted to do it. I copied a free software program to break through the Internet
blockade for him, helped him to find the website for withdrawing from the
Communist Party, and he finished the procedure to withdraw from the Youth League
and the Young Pioneers. I also told him to remember his number for the
"three withdrawals" and he could download the certificate of
withdrawal from the Communist Party after fifteen minutes. He said happily that
he would tell his wife and his relatives at his hometown, and that he would also
do the "three withdrawals" for them. Through this experience of persuading others about the "three
withdrawals" in the office, I realized that when I had this thought and was
carefully preparing for it, with Master's strengthening, my cultivated side had
already started to clear the environment in the office and the evil factors from
other dimensions. Because the dimensions were righteous, people would all have
righteous thoughts and make the correct choice. People inspired each other, thus
a small tide of "three withdrawals" in a local environment was formed. |
