(Minghui.org) For the past more than a year, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has changed its way to carry out the so-called “Zero-Out” activities aiming to force Falun Dafa practitioners to renounce their faith. I am a 71-year-old practitioner from the countryside. I am illiterate and a steadfast practitioner. With firm faith, I would not let the evil Party’s conspiracy succeed, instead, I have zeroed out its evil approach each and every time.
I'd had a short temper person since I was a child. I’d get agitated over petty things, even to the point of crying. After I grew up, when I encountered things that didn’t go my way, I’d keep arguing with the person until he or she did it the way I proposed, after which I settled down.
After I began to clarify the truth after cultivating, when running into people who refused to listen to me, my agitation would flare up. Instead of kindly explaining and reasoning things out, I ended up fighting with that person irrationally. As a result, some people didn’t want to listen to me anymore, saying I was “against the CCP.” Other people even went as far as calling the police to report me. I felt so upset and began to resent them, “I’m here to save you, but you are so terrible. You will not be blessed!” My heart held no kindness.
Master said,
“A wicked person is born of jealousy.Out of selfishness and anger he complains about unfairness towards himself. A benevolent person always has a heart of compassion.With no discontentment or hatred, he takes hardship as joy.An enlightened person has no attachments at all.He quietly observes the people of the world deluded by illusions.” (“Realm,” Essentials for Further Advancement)
“I told you a long time ago that a Dafa disciple, or a cultivator, has no enemies. The only thing you have a role in is saving people...” (“Teaching the Fa in the City of Chicago,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. VII)
During the past two to three years, I began to see my issues based on the Fa. With the improvement of my xinxing, I stopped being upset but only felt those people who refused to accept the truth were pitiful. Thus, I should treat them compassionately.
Facing the First So-Called “Zero-Out” Activity
In early February, just before the 2020 Chinese New Year, I was arrested by police officers. Two bags of informational materials were stolen by people who turned them over to the police.
When they asked me where I handed them out, I didn’t hide from them. I felt it was time to save them with kindness. Finally, they asked me to cooperate, to sign the document and agree to no longer practice Dafa. I understood they were about to try to “zero out” on me. I said, “I will never comply with you. The fact that I follow ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’ to be a good person is not against the law. You persecute practitioners, why would I comply with you? Article No. 36 of the Constitution stipulates freedom of belief – it’s legitimate for one to have a belief. Your persecution of practitioners is unconstitutional, violates the law, and a crime, whereas freedom of belief is protected by the Constitution.”
“Though our ideas and concepts are not in line with the CCP principles, we are not doing anything illegally. There is no existing law under the CCP deeming us illegal. The anti-cult decision of the Standing Committee of the CCP has nothing to do with us. There is no mentioning of Falun Dafa in the Judicial Interpretations of the Supreme People’s Court and Supreme Procuratorate of the CCP, and the decision of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ban the Falun Dafa Research Association is an illegal decision.”
Finally they asked me to sign the documents to guarantee that I no longer would practice Falun Dafa. I said I would never cooperate with them regarding this “zero-out” activity. They said they couldn’t report what I said to their supervisor. I then said, “You just repeat whatever I told you to your boss, and say, ‘This old lady said so.’”
I then said, “Those who followed the CCP to persecute Dafa, from the very beginning, they were betrayed by the CCP and the former CCP leader Jiang’s group. People who have participated in the persecution must be held accountable for that. Even for the CCP itself, it faces disintegration and elimination. Anyone who follows the CCP to commit crimes out of self-interest, and dreams to still be protected by the CCP, in the end, they’ll have to pay for all they did. Whoever follows the CCP to the end, will only harm themselves, and become a victim and sacrifice for the CCP. People should wake up about that by now. The Great Cultural Revolution is a perfect example. The CCP has done too many bad things repeatedly and found scapegoats for its crime. The CCP is the devil. I hope you would not follow the CCP to persecute Dafa, otherwise by the time you regret, I’m afraid it’ll be too late.” In the end, they let me go home.
The Second So-Called “Zero-Out” Activity
Soon after that, a few police officers came. They were all young people and hid by my entrance door. When I was about to head out, they tried to arrest me. So I kindly explained the truth. I asked them, “Do I own a gun?” They replied, “No.” “Do I own a cannon?” They replied also “No.” I said then I didn’t commit any crime. Falun Dafa is a Buddha Law cultivation. It teaches people to be good and has been widely spread in more than 100 countries. Being good people would only bring benefits to the country and society without doing any harm.
“For one to practice Dafa, one could get one’s illnesses healed and keep fit. Elderly in their 80s or 90s have been in good health after practicing Dafa. For them not to become a burden for their children – isn’t that amazing? However, they were subjected to the persecution by the CCP. Their homes were ransacked, they were sentenced to as long as seven to eight years in prison, their money and assets are extorted. A government doesn’t allow its people to say anything good, words of justice, be good people, what kind of consequence this society brings to itself?
“Our Master said,
“When people do not have virtue, natural calamities and man-made disasters will abound. When the earth does not have virtue, everything will wither and fall.” (“When the Fa is Right,” Essentials for Further Advancement)
“The Wuhan virus targets the CCP. All of you are good people, and also victims. Please do not follow the Jiang regime and the evil CCP to persecute Dafa. Leave a way out for yourself and your family. Since the beginning of persecuting Dafa, the evil CCP never issued any official documents to justify its persecution. All it said was they were told by their top to do so. Have you ever thought about why that is? Soon enough, Dafa will be proven to be good and righteous, and persecuting Dafa is a crime!”
After I finished talking, they still asked me to sign the paperwork to declare that I would not practice Dafa any more. I said, “I won’t sign it. It’s not good for you or me if I were to sign. Please leave your police badge numbers with me.” Two of them left it, and the rest four of them quickly took off.
The Third “Zero-Out” Activity Goes Nowhere
After the 2021 New Year, people from the Justice Bureau came to take me to a hotel, where they asked me where I went to pass out informational materials. I said, “I went everywhere.” “Where did you go to get your informational materials?” I said, “You feel free to read them, but you can’t ask me that, as I won’t tell you. Our materials are for saving people.” Among them, one female police officer said, “My aunty, I’m from the city. I only want to tell you: If you think the Fa is good, then study it at home, don’t go outside to talk about it.”
I said, “That doesn’t work. The former CCP leader Jiang Zemin, was jealous because of Dafa’s many followers. That’s why he wanted to persecute us and eliminate Dafa, though receiving very little support. He then had people carry out a “staged self-immolation incident,” to make people hate Dafa. On top of that, he also went as far as carrying out forced organ harvesting from illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners, put millions of practitioners into forced labor camps and sentenced them to prison. Ordinary citizens have been deceived, the same as you. Can I not tell people Dafa the truth?”
She didn’t say anything. After that, she asked me to sign the document to give up practicing. I said, “I can’t betray my Master, nor Dafa. I didn’t spend a penny, but recovered from all my illnesses. I can’t betray my conscience.” She said, “If you don’t want to sign, we can’t force you either.” I said, “That’s right. It would not be good for anyone if I were to sign it.” When they offered to take me out to a restaurant, I declined. One young police officer bought bread and sausage for me, which I also declined. I went home safe and sound under Master’s empowerment.
The Fourth “Zero-Out” Activity, Two Police Officers Quitting the CCP
This early March, I was heading home after I finished clarifying the facts to people, a police officer suddenly stopped me. They turned out to be people from the Justice Bureau, with two new people this time. One young police officer held 10 twisted donuts in hand and tried to give them to me, I declined it. He said, “Aunty, please take them, I bought them just for you.” I said, “I prefer not to accept gifts. Thank you for your goodwill though.” He tried again, but I still declined.
Seeing that his plot wasn’t successful, he then said, “Aunty, can I come with you to your home to take a look? I won’t go inside, I just want to see where you live.” I said, “No, you can’t, it’s not time yet. Now the CCP still persecutes our practitioners. Some practitioners have received heavy sentences up to seven to eight years, including seniors in their 70s or 80s. The Chinese society has become like that, this is so pitiful! Don’t expect me to comply with you.” Right then, a female police officer took out a piece of paper to ask me to sign. I told her to pack that up, as I was determined to not to comply with her. Then I tried to awaken her conscience. After I learned that she was a CCP member, I said, “My child, the Divine will eliminate the CCP. Only by renouncing your memberships from the CCP, can you be safe.” When I asked her her last name, she told me Li, I then gave her a pseudonym for quitting the CCP. She very happily took up me on that and quit the Party.
Seeing a male police officer standing 30 feet from me, I waved at him, saying, “Come over and let me help you quit the CCP.” He said okay. I asked his last name, and he said Wang. I said, “Let me give you a lucky name, Zhanping, which means wherever you stand, you’ll be safe and stay away from the calamity. I wish you safe.” He nodded his head, then thanked me.
The first police officer who tried to give me the donuts said, “What should we say to our boss after going back?” I said, “You just say, ‘This elderly lady said she would never cooperate with you. She also asked us not to come back to her any more.’” Hearing me saying that, they drove off and never came back since.
Master said,
“When a tribulation arrives, if you, a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable calm or be determined to meet different requirements at different levels, this should be sufficient for you to pass the test.” (“Expounding on the Fa,” Essentials for Further Advancement)
In order to accomplish that, we must let go our fame and self-interest, fear, and sentimentality, so that we could meet the requirements at different levels.
Fellow practitioners, the Fa-rectification has come to an end, please treat cultivation seriously and walk the final leg of our cultivation path in an upright manner, accomplish our mission and return home with Master.
Thank you, Master!
