(Clearwisdom.net) I entered an apartment building near my residence with a set of truth clarification materials at around 4:00 p.m. on a winter day in 2004. I posted a flyer on each door on the first floor. As I was walking to the second floor, I heard a loud noise and noticed that another person was coming in. I climbed the stairs to the top 7th floor, then began distributing the truth materials downward.
I was wondering why I hadn't heard any doors opening, when suddenly a tall young man with a gun appeared in front of me between the second and third floors, and said "Don't move, or I kill you." He came up to me and said, "Give me your money." Knowing that I was being robbed, I said, "I didn't bring money with me." He searched my pockets since he didn't believe me, but only found the truth clarification materials. He got so disgusted that he hit me in the face and chest with his gun. I shouted "I'm not lying; I believe in Falun Dafa." He turned away immediately and left. When I got home, my mother saw the bruises on my swollen face and bleeding lips. However, the following morning, my face was completely normal.
As a Dafa practitioner, I looked inward when accidents happened and realized that my mind was not pure at that time: I made phone calls as I walked and talked about things with an unbalanced state of mind--how could I not be serious when doing something as serious as saving sentient beings? I regretted that I hadn't told him to recite "Falun Dafa is good," and this was why the evil forces took advantage of my gaps. I thought that I should try to find him again and found him sitting in front of the building. I walked up to him and said warmly, "How are you? Do you remember me?" He stood up nervously and pulled me towards the door of the building, but I grabbed the door handle with all my strength, asking Teacher for help, and said, "I only wanted to tell you to remember 'Falun Dafa is good'" He relaxed a bit and said, "Let's go inside and talk." I agreed after considering his situation.
I told him, "Don't do this kind of thing again, because it will become dangerous sooner or later; you've got to treasure yourself because life is very valuable." He said, "I don't care anymore because I have cancer." I said sincerely, "Reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' will help you." He said, "Why do you practice Falun Gong, since some of you even did self-immolation." I clarified the truth about this event, explaining that this was a fabrication by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He replied, "If I want to learn Falun Gong, where could I go?"
In 2005, Dafa practitioners, as Teacher required, started advising the world's people to withdraw from the three organizations affiliated with the CCP. One day while walking with a fellow practitioner, I saw him sitting next to the street, so I asked the fellow practitioner to wait for me. Then, I walked over to my former robber again and said, "Ten to twenty thousand people have already withdrawn from the three affiliated organizations of the CCP. Which one did you join?" He said, "The Young Pioneers." I said, "I'm giving you the pseudonym 'Shanyuan,' 'May peace be with you,' so that you can withdraw." He nodded.
