(Minghui.org) Outside of a French duty-free shop, several Falun Dafa practitioners handed out brochures that explained the facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa and advised Chinese tourists to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
One of the practitioners, a lady in her 60s from Finland, didn't speak French but she wanted the Chinese tourists to learn the truth about Falun Gong.
Several tour buses were parked outside the shop, and there were many Chinese tourists milling about. The practitioner from Finland unfolded a poster board with facts about the persecution written in Chinese.
One of the tourists said, “They are getting paid to do this.” The lady from Finland asked, “Did any of you see us get paid? Did you pay me?” The tourist was silenced and left.
The lady realized she had not handled the situation well and that she should have explained the truth about Falun Dafa instead. So she adjusted her thoughts, went over to the tourist, and said, “I'm sorry for being so snappy. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I was persecuted by the CCP. We are all volunteers, and nobody pays us.”
The person asked, “Is that true?”
The practitioner responded, “Falun Dafa teaches people to live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, just the opposite of the lies put out by the CCP. I returned to good health after I began to practice. The founder of Falun Dafa didn't charge me one penny, while the CCP pays hit men to persecute practitioners. Practitioners tell the truth and nothing but the truth.”
Tourist Speaks Well of Dafa
The tourist learned that the Tiananmen Self-immolation was staged. She heard for the first time that many high ranking officials that followed the CCP ringleader have been arrested.
A man in his 40s agreed and said, “What you said sounds right. What good people say sound very reasonable. I know that Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people.”
He said that he and his family had quit the CCP and its affiliates in 2009. He said that a neighbor who practiced gave him Falun Dafa materials. He experienced a miracle and attributed it to Falun Dafa: On a business trip with four others last year, they were in a bad car accident. One person died and two were seriously hurt, but he was only slightly injured and felt very lucky.
All the tourists now started to listen attentively. The practitioner said, “Since you have all heard it, let me use some made-up names to help you quit the CCP and its affiliates. You will benefit if you accept the facts about Dafa.
Two men said that they wanted to quit. A lady said, “I am neither a CCP member nor member of the Communist Youth League, but I joined the Young Pioneers.” Nine people quit the CCP and its affiliates. The practitioners asked them to remember, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
Refusing to Take a Stance
One person said he did not believe either the CCP or Falun Dafa, that he was "neutral." The practitioner then told him a story.
On a long distance bus trip, several strong men started to pull the pretty female driver out of the bus. Only one very slight man stood up and tried to stop them, but the big men beat up him. The man asked the other passengers for help, but no one wanted to get involved. The men raped the driver. After she returned to the bus, the female driver told the man who had tried to help her to get off the bus. Then she stepped on the accelerator and drove the bus over a cliff with all of the remaining passengers.
The practitioner hoped that, through this story, they would realize that they needed to save themselves before it was too late.
The Chinese tourists understood the intent behind this story, and all of them asked for informational materials.
