On Clarifying the Truth in the Countryside of China

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, truth-clarifying material sites have become
widespread in some cities in China. More and more practitioners are clarifying
the truth face-to-face in various ways and the effect is very good. As a result,
many people who were deeply poisoned by the rumor-generating media and used to
refuse to accept truth-clarifying materials understand the truth now.
Unfortunately, progress has not been very good in the countryside surrounding
the cities. Therefore we would like to put forward the following thoughts, and
have begun to implement some of the suggestions.
- The truth-clarifying materials in some outlying counties and the
countryside are not up-to-date and insufficient. In the past, distribution
of materials depended on the cities. In addition to helping with
coordination, we should assist practitioners in outlying areas and the
countryside in establishing their own material sites. First we need to help
the local practitioners overcome their aversion towards technology and
computers through experience-sharing and improved communication. At the same
time, we need to assist them with electronic devices and modern technology.
- There are relatively few Falun Gong practitioners in some counties and
villages, and consequently many locals still do not know the truth about
Falun Gong. Many still believe the propaganda and rumors spread by the media
and need us to save them. Some of our practitioners have friends and
acquaintances in those counties and in the countryside. We should take
advantage of these situations and go to those counties and villages to
communicate with practitioners there. It would be even better to stay there
for a prolonged period of time to promote truth-clarification with local
practitioners. In addition to distributing truth-clarifying materials,
face-to-face truth-clarification has a better effect. Farmers are busy from
dawn till night and cannot read much. It is difficult for them to read
printed materials; instead, chatting is an easier way for them to accept the
truth. Additionally, lots of families in the countryside are related and
familiar with each other. We can make a special effort to talk to those who
do not know Falun Gong or have a negative attitude towards Falun Gong. This
may increase our chances of saving people.
