(Clearwisdom.net) I was arrested in 2001 and imprisoned for nine years. It is difficult to get news from beyond the prison walls. I didn't hear about the book the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party until 2005.

After I found out about this book, I suggested to other Falun Dafa practitioners in the same prison about helping inmates withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its associated organizations.

When we first spoke of the evil deeds of the CCP, the inmates did not like what we said and some got angry. We were facing a very difficult environment, because we were being persecuted by the guards and most prisoners were criminals. To ask these people to withdraw from the CCP was especially difficult.

To save people, fellow practitioners and I read the Nine Commentaries more thoroughly and tried to find out what was lacking in ourselves. Slowly we realized that, since we were also educated in the communist culture, we had to first remove from ourselves its bad influence and the bad concepts acquired through such an education. We helped each other identify these bad concepts and the CCP culture we had unconsciously absorbed. It took us about six months to remove these bad influences and concepts.

When we spoke to the inmates again about withdrawing from the CCP, they generally agreed with what we said about the CCP, although many did not tell us that they wanted to withdraw. However, some of them did criticize the CCP. Slowly, what we told them about the CCP took hold in their minds. We could see that it was because we had cleared ourselves from the CCP influence and the environment changed.

As we improved out relationship with the inmates, many of them were willing to withdraw from the CCP and its associated organizations. Furthermore, they liked our analysis of the inhuman deeds committed by the CCP and they recognized that the CCP was persecuting Falun Dafa and bringing harm to ordinary people. Gradually, our ability to explain the facts about Falun Dafa and advise people to withdraw from CCP and its affiliated organizations reached maturity.

As we matured, our environment changed significantly. Our relationship with the inmates reached the point that they knew about the time when we sent forth righteous thoughts and did the exercises. If we forgot the time, they reminded us. If we were asleep, they would wake us up. After several years, many prisoners came and left. We were fortunate to help more than one thousand inmates withdraw from the CCP and its associated organizations.

Recently, I noticed that many practitioners in different districts around the country were being persecuted. Although the evil Party members thought they could stop us from telling people the facts about Dafa by sending us to prison, we did not forget our main mission, which is to save sentient beings. These evildoers failed once again to prevent us from saving people.
