(1) An Extraordinary Road

In a village in Shandong Province there are about twelve Falun Dafa practitioners. They abide by the teachings of the Fa, and are always strict with their self-discipline to be good people at all times.

The village's main road has not been paved or maintained in recent years. The practitioners discussed among themselves and decided to volunteer to rebuild the road. Some volunteered their vehicles, and others contributed their labor. They built the main road in the village in two week's time.

While they were building the road, the villagers said to them, "You practitioners are all becoming fools." Some even said, "Nowadays everyone works for fame and profit. Who would want to work for nothing?" Some said even more unkind words. Many had peculiar expressions on their faces when they talked about the fact that the practitioners volunteered to build the road for all the villagers without asking for anything in return.

Two weeks later, when people walked on the widened and evenly paved road, everyone was touched by the selflessness of the practitioners. In a village meeting, the head of the village told the entire village through a loudspeaker, "Everyone knows that our road had not been in a good condition. The village did not have the money to have it rebuilt. The government asked us to pave the road but did not give us any funding. Now the road is built, and it was done by the Falun Gong practitioners in our village." Everyone listened quietly lest they miss a single word. He cleared his throat and continued, "The Falun Gong practitioners are all good people. They have contributed a lot to our village. If the government wants to arrest these practitioners, let them take me first!"

Later on, it was said that the head of the village reported to the township government the matter about the practitioners building the road for the village. It was also said that the matter was reported up to the county level. Every level of government in the county knew that Falun Gong practitioners are good people. They just dare not to say anything under the pressure of the persecution by the Jiang-Luo gang.

(2) The Awakening of the World's People

The heavenly rule of karmic retribution has manifested itself during the eight years of ruthless persecution staged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against the belief of "Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance" and against the rational and peaceful resistance by Falun Gong practitioners. Every day, there are stories of people who persecuted Dafa receiving retribution all around the country. These people include officials from all levels of the 610 Office, the police, state security and local government agents who are involved in the persecution. The world's people who have seen these instances of retribution are starting to awaken. They have chosen to support justice and kindness and to resist the tyranny of the CCP.

In October 2004, I was on a bus to Beijing. On the way, the police stopped the bus for an inspection. One policeman boarded the bus and asked every passenger to show their identification. He also ordered everyone to slander the teacher of Falun Gong; everyone was unhappy about this. Some even cursed the policemen under their breath, "senseless fellow" or "go to die." At this time, a young policeman boarded the bus and asked, "Why do we have to slander someone who did not even bother us? Let's just do what we were asked to do. They only told us to check IDs." Then he waved to the people in the bus and said, "You can go now."

Last October, I was again on my way to Beijing on business. The bus was again stopped on the way. Two policemen boarded the bus. One shouted viscously, "Everyone sit tight and take out your IDs." The other one pointed to a middle-aged man in the first row and yelled, "Do you practice Falun Gong?" The man said, "No." The policeman said, "Then curse Falun Gong in front of everyone!" The man raised his head and looked at the policeman in contempt: "Why do I have to curse them? They did not bother me! Also, I heard that Falun Gong only teaches people to abide by the principles of 'Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance'!" The policeman shouted in anger, "If you do not curse Falun Gong, then I won't let you go!" The middle-aged man straightened his back and said word by word, "Do you call this a 'Harmonious Society'? The police lead people to curse other people. Which country has a law that if you do not curse someone you will not be allowed to ride the bus?" At this time, people on the bus also started to protest, "This is ridiculous!" "What kind of a world is this!" "The CCP is so immoral, it won't be able to rule long!" Under the righteous reasoning and everyone's protests, the policemen had to leave and let the bus go.

(3) A Catholic Talks About His View of Falun Dafa Practitioners

On February 23, 2008, I met a university professor who came to Shenzhen City from another city to attend the Catholic Followers Sharing Conference. The professor is researching theology at a university. He said to me, "We Catholics all admire you Falun Gong practitioners when we talk about you in private. The persecution you are going through surpasses any religious persecution in history. But you have never stopped your resistance, and you persist with your beliefs. You are really courageous!" When he came to know more of the truth, the professor indicated that he would ask more people to withdraw from the CCP. He would tell the truth of Falun Gong to his relatives and friends and ask them to quit CCP. He exclaimed, "One never knows just how evil the CCP is!"
