(Clearwisdom.net) I live in Beijing. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. It staged the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident and the case of Fu Yibin killing his father and wife. The CCP used these staged events to defame Falun Gong, to instigate hatred toward the practice, and to have an excuse to persecute Falun Gong.
My parents were scared in the beginning. My mother believed the CCP propaganda. At first, she worried about me. Later on, she was even afraid that I would hurt her. Then she refused to let me come home, saying that there was no room for me to stay because they had hired a babysitter. In the end, she didn't even pick up the phone when I called and cut me off completely.
In 2005, my wife and I finally went home. My mother was still very scared. I found out that, at night, she locked her room from the inside. When I asked her why, she replied, "What if you try to kill me?"
In 2008, my mother visited my home with my sister and brother-in-law. I played the Shen Yun DVD for them. My mother was deeply touched by the purity, compassion, and beauty of the performance. I told her that the performers were Falun Gong practitioners. I then played the truth clarifying DVD about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident. After watching it, my mother told me sincerely, "We are not against Falun Gong anymore. We support you."
The truth has untied the knot in my mother's understanding. My wife told me that my mother locked her door from the inside on the first night, but not the second. After that, my mother was no longer afraid of me. By watching the Shen Yun DVD, my mother came to know the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa. She learned how Dafa has been embraced all over the world from the truth-clarifying DVD, and she knows that the Tiananmen and Fu Yibin incidents were staged by the CCP.
The CCP is incredibly evil. Its lies have threatened many people. After knowing the truth, my mother helped my sister, my brother-in-law, and my cousins all quit the Party and its affiliated organizations. And they published their Solemn Declarations on the Minghui (Chinese version of Clearwisdom) website, thereby choosing a beautiful future for themselves.
One morning, my mother said in front of my sister and my brother-in-law, "My son is the most fortunate person." It is because she knows that I became very healthy after practicing Falun Gong. I have not had to take any medication for more than 14 years. So my mother didn't have to worry about me anymore.
This summer, my mother and all my other family members came to visit us. I knew my mother loved Shen Yun, so I played Shen Yun for her. After that, I asked her if she wanted to watch Master's lectures. She said, " Yes, I am willing to watch it." She watched Master's lectures in Dalian. My mother watched it for 3 to 4 hours everyday. She said she had never watched TV for so long in her life.
After she had seen Lecture Six, my mother asked me, "Do you behave according to your Master's teaching?" " I told her I did. She then said, "It is absolutely correct to follow your Master's instructions. Falun Gong is teaching people how to do good things and how to be good people." I told her, "We practitioners are trying to be good people according to our Master's Fa. We have been persecuted by the CCP just because we want to be good people."
My mother now totally understands the evil nature of the CCP. And she agrees that "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good!"
