Awakening the World's People

November 07, 2001 |   Written by a Dafa practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) One evening when I took a taxi, the taxi driver--a middle-aged man in his forties--was very talkative. When we passed some crowded nightclubs, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Look, those who work hard always do hard labor and those who indulge in comfort always seek pleasure."

"Not necessarily," I said. "You may see someone when he seeks pleasure, but you may not see him when he works hard. A rich person may have poor health, while a healthy person may have family conflicts. In fact, one person will not necessarily have the same way of living all the time. Besides, that kind of luxurious and indulgent life may not be good either. People should live a peaceful, safe, and steady life, and a happy family is better than anything else."

The driver took one look at me and said, "Well, you really have a different attitude towards life."

I told him that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner.

"Falun Dafa," he said, "I know." "You Falun Gong practitioners often take my taxi to Heizuizi to visit practitioners detained there. [Heizuizi is an extremely vicious forced-labor camp for women and detains nearly one thousand Dafa practitioners]. I know you are all good people. There are also several old ladies living in the same apartment building as me who practice Falun Gong. They have indeed recovered from their diseases after they practiced Falun Gong. They clean our public stairways everyday. Nowadays, except for Falun Gong practitioners, who would take care of that? But the police still go and arrest them. Several days ago, I ran into the director and section head of a police station. They had come to arrest these practitioners again. Though I scolded them, they said, 'We haven't come to arrest you. Why do you swear at us?' I said, 'If you had come to arrest me, I would not only swear at you, I would beat you.' You see how irritating they are."

I said to him, "They dare to do bad things because they know Dafa practitioners will not return the same--even when being beaten or sworn at. Many practitioners are injured or even paralyzed. Some practitioners are even tortured to death while in police custody."

He said: "One woman living in the same building as me works in the Heizuizi labor camp and I know her father. When I heard that they use electric batons to shock the female practitioners' private parts, I told her father and he immediately became furious. That evening, as soon as his daughter entered the room, he said, 'I heard that you electrically shock female Falun Gong practitioners on their private parts.' His daughter answered by saying, 'The higher authorities have issued orders for us to do so.' Her father said, 'Are you still human? You do such a bad thing just because the authorities ordered you to do so? This is terrible! Are you still human?' The old man was so angry that he threw the cooking pan at his daughter's face."

Upon hearing this, I really felt glad for the old man. What a good future he has created for himself.

"It was required that people everywhere have sign a petition to oppose the so-called X (Jiang Zemin's slanderous words omitted). I told my family, but none of them would sign that kind of stuff."

"No, don't sign it," I said, "That would assist the evil in doing bad things. Those who do evil will receive their retribution."

"Exactly. Jiang Zemin persecutes Master Li. How can Jiang come to a good end?"

I felt very touched and sincerely wished the taxi driver the best and most beautiful future. At this time, we were nearing my destination and I only had the chance to say, "It is a heavenly principle that good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil. He [Jiang Zemin] will not have good results for sure."

After quickly departing from the taxi driver, I felt that the world's people are awakening. Kind-hearted people are also resisting the evil, just as was said in the Speech by Master Li Hongzhi at the Western US Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference of Falun Dafa: "It's only the evil humans that are left and still active. Moreover, all people with righteous thoughts--and I'm not referring to our students--all everyday people with righteous thoughts are standing up against this... The lies and fabrications will all be exposed one by one."

More and more of the world's people will wake up.
