A Discussion of “Righteousness” (Part 2)
 
Humankind has always yearned for goodness. In May 1992, Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) was spread to the secular world. People recognized that the teachings were of high morality. It brought health and wellness to practitioners, and taught people to be good and moral. It spread very quickly in China. In just a few years, practitioners were seen in parks, public plazas, and school playgrounds across the nation. Practitioners talked about being virtuous in life, at work, and in the society. They put others before themselves, and let go of selfishness and the pursuit for personal gain. They were not attached to fame and conducted themselves according to the principles of Dafa.
 
Millions of people believed in “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and conducted themselves righteously. This became a force that raised people's morality and conscience, and stabilized society. This would be a positive thing for any government or nation. However, the CCP is truly an evil existence. Jiang Zemin, the previous head of the CCP, became jealous of Falun Gong's influence. In 1999, he initiated the brutal persecution of Falun Gong and its practitioners.
 
The first thing the CCP did was to “expose and criticize.” They forced practitioners to betray their beliefs and to write a guarantee statement promising to quit the practice. If they refused, the CCP would do anything to “ruin their reputation, torture them physically, and bankrupt them financially.” The CCP also fabricated lies to deceive the world, such as the Tiananmen Square “self-immolation” hoax, the alleged “1,400 deaths from not taking medicine,” “Psychotic Killer Fu Yibin,” and others.
 
Under the suppressive and life-threatening harsh environment, millions of practitioners chose to do the right thing, to let go of self and uphold righteousness. They are not afraid of the totalitarian regime, continuing to inform people the truth about Falun Gong throughout the persecution over the past nineteen years. They have conducted themselves with compassion and have warned the Chinese people that one day “heaven will eliminate the CCP.” They have encouraged people to quit the CCP and be good people. They have revived the ancient Chinese tradition of being righteous.
 
People are gradually seeing the evil nature of the CCP. More than 315 million Chinese have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. More and more people are supporting Falun Gong.
 
A Village Official Declines to Participate in the Persecution
 
There is a village CCP secretary who has a high reputation in the local government as well as in his village. When I talked with him about the corruption of the CCP and the dilemma many village officials face, he also felt very pained. Regarding how to handle the issue from upper leadership, he said, “To be a good village official, you have to think carefully and you cannot follow the CCP on the dark road to hell.”
 
I asked him what he thought about those in the village who practice Falun Gong. He said, “Living in the same village, people are all very close to each other. Why bother them? When the upper leadership inquires, it's easy to just protect the people who practice Falun Gong and not report them. A party secretary of the neighboring village had a Falun Gong practitioner sentenced to several years in prison. Can you imagine what the villagers think of this party secretary? Besides, the people who practice Falun Gong all have good reputations in our village. Isn't hurting them the same as doing a bad deed?”
 
Village Official Protects a Falun Gong Practitioner
 
In a village, people are very close to each other. Everyone knows about what has happened in each family, what kind of people they are, and who has done bad things, etc. When it comes to protecting Falun Gong practitioners, some village officials indeed show their sense of righteousness.
 
One day, an officer from the local police station asked a village secretary to take him to a Falun Gong practitioner's home. The secretary asked, “What do you want to see him for?” The police said, “Just to have a look.” The official said, “Just to have a look? What's there to look at? Is it so simple?” The police faltered, “I have to get him to make a statement and provide a signature.” The village official stood there saying, “What statement? What signature? I tell you that he is the best person in our village, and he is a very kind person. I will make the statement on behalf of him. You are not allowed to even enter his home. You can decide what to do about the signature. If you dare to come to my village again to do this kind of deed, don't blame me for not being polite.” After saying this, the secretary turned around and left. The police stood there in awkwardness for a long time and finally had to leave too. Ever since then, no one else has come to bother this Falun Gong practitioner.
 
There is a saying about the State of Qin over two thousand years ago: “To please the State of Qin with your land is as if trying to extinguish fire with wood. The fire won't be extinguished until the wood is burned.” It means that as long as you own a square inch of land, the tyrannical Qin will continue to attack your land. The CCP is the same. After it took the land from the landlords, and property from the capitalists, it continues to take, little by little, a person's life and destroys his morality. The CCP will never become good. The only choice for the Chinese people is to quit the CCP, and that is the righteous choice.
 
说义 (下)
 
人的天性是追求向往善良的，1992年5月，自法轮功（也称法轮大法）传出后，人们认识到这是一部高德大法，他不但在祛病健身方面有奇效，更是回归道义、善良的最好途径。所以法轮功在中国得以迅速传播。短短几年，全国各地的公园、广场、学校的操场到处都有炼功者的身影，修炼者谈的最多的就是自己如何在工作中、生活中、社会上如何重德、为他人著想、放下“私”、放下“利”、不执著于“名”，按大法的要求做好人。
 
亿万信仰“真、善、忍”的民众重德重义做好人，成为社会道德快速回升的中坚力量，成为社会稳定的基石，对于任何国家、政府都是求之不得的大好事。可是中共就是一个彻头彻尾的邪恶， 1999年，以中共党魁江泽民为首的中共悍然发动对法轮功及其学员的迫害。
 
中共首先搞人人过关式的大揭批，逼迫法轮功学员背信弃义，写不修炼的保证书，不写面临的就是“名誉上搞臭，肉体上消灭‘经济上截断”。中共还制造谎言毒害不明真相的世人，比如“天安门自焚”事件、“1400”例、“京城疯子傅怡彬杀人”事件、等等。
 
在中共制造的高压、恐惧下，千千万万法轮功学员选择的是大义、舍生取义。他们不畏强权、生死，十几年来一直坚持和平理性的讲述法轮功真相、慈悲祥和的告诉世人“天灭中共”，及时退出中共是回归善良、恢复中华民族道德的大义、正义之举。
 
人们逐渐认清了党的邪恶本性，至今已有三亿一千多万正义之士选择退出中共。支持法轮功学员的事例越来越多。
 
不参加迫害的村官
 
有一个支书，在乡政府里名望很高，在村里边的威望也相当高。我和他聊起中共现在的腐败以及村官的难处时，他也痛心疾首。讲起他应付乡里边的事时，他说：要想当好村官，得动脑筋，不能跟著共产党一条道走到黑。
 
我问他对村里炼法轮功的态度，他说：都乡里乡亲的，管那闲事干啥？上面来问给他挡著不就得了。后村那个支书把人家炼法轮功的整到监狱里，判了好几年，你想村民对你这支书会是啥看法？再说人家炼法轮功的在村里口碑很好，害他们那不是在做缺德事吗？
 
以后不准你再来俺村干这事
 
在村里，大家都乡里乡亲的，谁家出个什么事，谁是个什么样的人，哪件坏事是谁做的，大家心里都有杆秤。有些村官保护起法轮功学员来，还真够仗义的。
 
有个村支书，有一天派出所里来了个警察，要他领著去骚扰一个法轮功学员。支书问：你找他干啥？警察说：就是来看看。支书说：来看看，有啥好看的？就这么简单？警察支吾著说：那得叫他表个态，签个字。支书站在那说：表啥态？签啥字？我跟你说，在俺村就数他最好，人又仁义。这个态我代他表了，他家你连门都不准进；那个字你看著签。你敢再来俺村干这事，别怪我不客气。说完扭头走了，弄得那个警察在那尴尬了好一阵也只得走了。从此再也没有人来找这个法轮功学员的麻烦。

“以地事秦，犹抱薪救火，薪不尽，火不灭。”说的是你只要还有一寸土地贪虐的暴秦也不会停止侵略。中共在夺取了地主的土地、资本家的财产、“一小撮”、“一小撮”人的生命和破坏了人赖以生存的道德以后绝不会变好。今天的中国人唯有选择退出中共，才是唯一正确的正义之举。
