An Experience in Setting Up a Family-Based Materials Production Site

(Clearwisdom.net)

In 2004 Teacher said,

"From now on, the Dafa disciples in China as much as anyone, both new students and veterans alike, should let go of their long-standing human attachments and start to seize the day and comprehensively save the world's people. Once the current time period is over, the first large-scale process of weeding out sentient beings will begin. For a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, personal liberation is not the goal of cultivation: when you came, saving sentient beings was your great aspiration, and that is the responsibility and mission history has bestowed upon you in Fa-rectification. Thus great numbers of beings are to be saved by you." (Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People)

It was the beginning of 2005 when I set up a family-based truth-clarification materials production site. I would like to share with fellow practitioners some of the things I experienced at that time.

At the beginning of our truth clarification, my family's materials production site still wasn't in place. The world's people needed to be saved, yet because of our extremely short supply of truth-clarification materials, we wondered what we were going to do. There were not many fellow practitioners us, so the method of clarifying the truth was limited to person-to-person exchanges. At that time, even though a few years had gone by since the "April 25" event and the CCP-staged "self-immolation" incident, there were many people we came across who were still trapped by the web of lies created by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

One time, when I came across a former schoolmate, I asked him, "Do you know anything about the 'April 25' and the self-immolation events?" He answered, "I've seen fliers about them." Thinking that he had already understood the true picture, I was surprised when he asked me, "How could it be possible that the CCP would come out with such a big lie to deceive Chinese people and the world?" Hearing what he said, I could only feel sorry that he had the opportunity to hear the truth, but didn't believe what he heard.

Two days later, I was fortunate to find a VCD clarifying the truth right in front of my door. I picked it up and put it in the VCD player. What it showed on the screen was a clear picture of Liu Chunling (one of the self-immolators) who was killed by a blow to the head with a heavy object. So I immediately took the VCD to my schoolmate and gave it to him.

Within a few days, he called me, "I viewed it clearly this time and know the facts!

Thank you for your concern. The VCD also contains software that breaks through the Internet blockade, so now I can get on any Internet site freely." I am very happy that he finally understands how vicious the CCP really is.

I was inspired by this incident, and thought, why don't I produce VCDs myself? So,

I decided to set up, like other practitioners did, my own home-based site

producing truth-clarification VCDs for saving the world's people.

At that time, as far as the whole situation in my area was concerned, there existed some problems in producing VCDs: (1) Technical difficulty--this was the main reason that we were behind on validating the Fa. (2) Financial issues--Some fellow practitioners had technical know-how, but because of the CCP's financial persecution, funding became difficult for production. (3) Complacency -some practitioners were equipped with good technical backgrounds and financial situations but lacked sufficient knowledge about how to set up a materials production site, always depending on others.

Some technically knowledgeable practitioners would help solve problems, but weren't eager to teach others how to do it. There is a saying, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat every day."

With help and encouragement from a practitioner with technical knowledge, I began diligently learning how to use a computer. I learned everything necessary, from basic typing to getting on the Internet for downloading, cutting blocks, recording, and printing, etc. Thus, in the early part of 2005, my family materials production site was established. From the beginning when I didn't know anything, to the day that I could independently operate all the equipment involved, the fellow practitioner with the technical know-how, offered strong unselfish support, sacrificing a great deal of time, energy and effort. Every time I think about this, I sincerely thank him and treasure his sacrifice!

Since then, I began sending articles and announcements of the three withdrawals" [declarations of withdrawal from the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers] to Minghui.org (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net). Also I started producing VCDs and truth-clarification materials for saving people, solidly and purely doing the three things as Teacher requires.

Looking back on what I went through, it is amazing to me now: I was computer-illiterate before, but now I am busy on the computer every day. I would urge fellow practitioners, clarify the facts wholeheartedly, do not hesitate in saving people.

What I shared above is just a little of what local practitioners and I went through while setting up a family-based truth-clarification materials production site. Please kindly correct my shortcomings.
