(Minghui.org) I am 90 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa since 1996. Guided by Master [Li Hongzhi] and by following the Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I have been healthy, full of energy, and steadily improving for over 20 years.
After The Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Partyin 2005, I began to ask people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. Initially, I went to the bus stations near my home every morning to clarify the truth and ask people to quit.
I then went to a bus station near a hospital further away after I noticed that a plainclothes officer was following me. Patients and their relatives often asked for directions, so I would help them before telling them about quitting the Party. I have helped many patients and their relatives quit the CCP.
When my house was being renovated, I went to stay at my son's. One morning, I walked by a school and saw many students. I greeted them in English and many of them stopped to talk to me.
I told them how important it was to learn English so that they could study abroad in the future. I then told them it was also important to withdraw from the CCP's Young Pioneers. Most of the students readily agreed to quit.
I later went to a busy area near a train station. I encountered many types of people. Some agreed to withdraw from the CCP, while others scolded me as soon as I mentioned the word “quit.”
During the process, I cultivated my xinxing and gradually eliminated my human notions and the attachment to fear. I was then able to persuade more people to withdraw from the Party every day. So far, I have helped more than 17,000 people withdraw from the CCP and its organizations.
The few times that I have been in dangerous situations, Master has protected me. I once saw a policeman coming towards me after someone reported me. I hurriedly took off my coat and walked passed the officer with righteous thoughts. I heard him talking to himself, “I just saw him a while ago. Where did he go?”
Encouragement from Master and fellow practitioners has given me the confidence to go out every day to talk to people about Dafa. I do not get discouraged when I hear unpleasant words or become too excited when things go well. As soon as I have the wish to save people, Master arranges for predestined people to appear.
Dafa gives me the wisdom to clarify the truth. I am usually not good at talking and do not talk much. But when I talk to people about Dafa and doing the three withdrawals, people usually listen to me patiently and often agree to quit the Party.
The process of persuading people to withdraw from the CCP is also a process of looking inward and cultivating oneself. In the beginning, I did not pay attention to giving aliases to people and sometimes used the same name more than once. Other practitioners reminded me a few times not to do that and showed me the Minghui website requirement on giving names.
I then realized that I'd been careless and had just wanted to cut corners. It showed that I wasn't taking helping people quit the Party seriously. How seriously I focused on the task directly influenced how effective I was. After I realized my attachment and improved my xinxing, I was more effective at helping more people quit the CCP.
