The Wisdom of An Elderly Man

Feb. 20, 2001

[Minghui Net] About a month ago when our practitioners were distributing flyers on the streets of Hong Kong the following conversation took place:

Practitioner: "Would you be interested in taking a copy of this material and knowing about us?" (The old man was standing and looking at the Dafa photo displays.)

Old Man: "Yes, thank you...."

Practitioner: "Over here, we've got more material for your reference."

Old Man: "The relationship of your movement and [party name omitted] party is, ... in fact, the contest between 'humanity' and 'inhumanity.' The Falun Gong principle, 'Truth, Compassion and Forbearance', is actually centered on the 'humanity', and it is to inspire the inner human nature that has been hidden for a long time. Many years of political movements have shifted people away from the basic 'humanity'. Falun Gong once again has awakened people's genuine human nature, and therefore, it is a magnet for the goodwill of people."

Practitioner: "Could you tell me your opinion about us? ..."

Old Man: "From the media I know that you Falun Gong practitioners have, one after another, gone to Tiananmen and other public places to express your stand. You, without fear, ask for the basic human rights, ... and I respect you Falun Gong practitioners very much. You are the future of China. Falun Gong once again brings up the true meaning of humanity. Humanity is an intrinsic part of the human being and it is the hope for China. Whether your movement can awaken people's common aspirations will determine whether the future China can be 'humanely'-governed. Jiang Zemin fears you because you represent the real humanity. Jiang Zemin has tried to control the people through inhumanity. Therefore, he has been forcibly suppressing the expression of the true human nature. Because human nature comes with a human beings' birth it can never be cramped, The Jiang Zemin regime's suppression will eventually fail. People wish to return to their true human nature and everything revealing the human nature is what people wish to have in society. After many years of political movements, the emergence of Falun Gong represents the will of the people and the will of Heaven. Suppressing Falun Gong is against the trend of civilization and against the will of the people. It can never destroy people's determination and belief in pursuing true human nature.

Practitioner: "So, do you support Falun Gong?"

Old Man: "As a person, my support for Falun Gong means defending our human nature. This is what everybody should do. Falun Gong will get more and more support, and it will eventually prevail against the inhumane persecution."

Practitioner: "Thank you very much for your support...."

Old Man: "The Falun Gong movement symbolizes the people's pursuit of freedom and human rights."
