(Minghui.org) Seven Falun Gong practitioners went to a practitioner's home in a village on January 17, 2016. They were preparing for a trip to a mountainous region where they planned to distribute Falun Gong informational materials.

The village Party secretary arrived after noticing several electric bikes outside the house. He asked the homeowner if he had visitors, and said that he would like to talk to them.

The practitioners showed the Party secretary a petition form for suing Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese communist regime, and asked if he would like to sign it. The Party secretary put his fingerprint on the petition without hesitation.

The homeowner thanked the Party secretary for protecting practitioners in the past. The secretary replied, “The other day, I told my wife to learn Falun Gong from you guys. You have nothing to worry about. Let me know if anyone dares to cause trouble for you. The next time the police or anyone else asks if you still practice Falun Gong, don't reply. You may serve them tea and show them your kind nature, but avoid answering their questions about Falun Gong.”

Time was pressing, so the homeowner thanked the Party secretary for his advice, and said, “We are getting ready to drive to the mountains to distribute Falun Gong materials. We'll need to take my tractor. So we will have to talk to you another time.”

The Party secretary said that he would have liked to have given us a lift there, but his car was too small to seat everyone.

The tractor stalled just after they left, due to cold weather.

The driver called the Party secretary for help. He arrived in less than ten minutes, and brought a container of hot water to help unfreeze the fuel line. While the practitioners were fixing the tractor he invited three practitioners into his car and took them to their destination.

The tractor was running by the time he returned to take the remaining practitioners. They all then left for the mountains.
