(Clearwisdom.net) He was a bodyguard for an organized crime boss billionaire whose businesses included gold, drugs, entertainment clubs, mines, etc. While he worked as a bodyguard, he followed orders and nearly died on many occasions. His hands were covered with blood. He never cherished the money he risked his life for, so he squandered it. Because his life was in jeopardy on a daily basis he became inured to the imminent risks and developed a cold stare that could give people chills. Those who knew him were all afraid of seeing him smile. Because if he smiled at anyone, that person would either wind up dead or in real trouble.
It was a very dangerous living. The young people who used to work for him almost all died. He is alive only because he ended up in jail when things went wrong during a business transaction. This was the turning point of his life. While in prison, he met some “illegally detained” Falun Gong practitioners. Because his boss bribed the prison guards, he lived very comfortably in prison. He was the head of the inmates and was in charge of keeping watch over the solitary confinement rooms. One day, a practitioner was put into solitary confinement for protesting his illegal incarceration. Over a few days of contact with this practitioner, he witnessed a kind noble behavior unlike he had ever seen before. So he took very good care of the practitioner. Behind the backs of others, he would get water for the practitioner to bathe and give the practitioner his own clothes to wear. Prison regulations only allow practitioners to have two bowls of corn meal mush per day in solitary confinement. Yet, he would put eggs and meat in the food and pass them in through a little window. Over time, he became a good friend of the practitioner. The practitioner told him many things, so the man began to realize that one could lead a life different from his own. He came to understand that by following the principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance” one could become a good person with dignity and openness no matter whether rich or poor. He yearned for a such life. When the Falun Gong practitioner was secretly transferred to another prison, the man was determined to find him once he was released.
As chance would have it, he met that Falun Gong practitioner a few years later. At the time, he was being pursued by his former boss because he was trying to get out of organized crime. The practitioner helped him. Over the few days that he was captured, he used instant messages to keep in contact with the practitioner. Also, he had a Falun Dafa amulet around his neck and the book “Zhuan Falun” in his pocket. He would read the book when the people who were watching him slept or left the room. The practitioner encouraged him to strengthen his righteous thoughts and not to go back to his former life. When his captors tried to beat him to death, he kept reciting quietly, “Falun Dafa is Good.” When his former boss saw that he did not succumb to force, he put a huge amount of money in front of him. The man told his former boss, “I was like you before, thinking money was a good thing. But now I know there are things more valuable than money. You live a pitiful life.” His former boss was stunned by his words. Eventually, the man was let go. This experience showed him the miraculous nature of Dafa.
After a while he found a regular job, and although the pay was not much he was satisfied. When he read “Zhuan Falun” calmly during the day, a falun rotated around him all night. He also dreamed of his Falun Gong friend dragging him quickly up to a mountain, but he did not know why. Because of the habits formed over many years, he could not quit drinking and smoking. In turn, this caused him to feel unworthy of being a Dafa practitioner. Nonetheless, when he would do the exercises with his Falun Gong friend, he felt warm all over his body. He also helped his friend to distribute “truth-clarifying” materials and other Dafa related things. Strangely, whenever he did that, he would make 100 “yuan” more the next day. After it happened several times, he had to admire the miraculous nature of Falun Dafa. His Falun Gong friend had told him that one would be rewarded for doing Dafa things. It was indeed true.
One time he asked his Falun Gong friend to go shopping with him. His Falun Gong friend kept on “clarifying the truth” to people all along the way. He understood, too. He understood why his friend would tell others “Falun Dafa is good” and to withdraw from the CCP. It was because the CCP is destroying people, and to tell others to withdraw from CCP is saving people. He also understood why in the dream his friend was running up to a mountain dragging him along. He told his friend later, “When you were clarifying the truth to people, I did not know how to send forth righteous thoughts, but I kept on saying 'Falun Dafa is Good' for you.”
Not only did he withdraw from the CCP's youth league himself, he also learned how to advise others to withdraw. When he ate out at a restaurant, he would tell the waitresses to withdraw. Several people have withdrawn because of him. He also decided to help all the staff at the restaurant to withdraw from the CCP before he left. He also wanted to tell his family and friends to withdraw from the CCP and that Falun Dafa is good.
Now his heart is light and his gaze is no longer cold. Others say that he looks very nice when he smiles. He truly wishes that everyone in the society could realize that Falun Dafa is good because it has brought him a bright new life.
