被真理喚醒的心(37)

一回到廣州我就去學校辭職。我不想我一旦出事，學校領導和同事們被牽連、降職、扣工資、扣獎金（中共對大法弟子所在的單位都是採用這一手段）。

校方極力挽留我。

（由於中共對大法弟子的迫害是暗中進行的，所以多數的大陸民眾，包括我的學校領導，並不知道這場正在進行的殘酷迫害。）

我在公開對同事和學生致告別辭時說：

「和你們一起工作這兩年我得到了你們很多讚揚。我感謝你們，並想讓你們知道：這一切讚揚應該給予法輪大法，因為是法輪大法使我成為一個好人、一個好老師。」

那時，很多大陸民眾連「法輪功」三個字都不敢說。

一位老師後來對我說：「在這個國家，大家都在為了自己的利益說假話、說違心的話，這其中也包括我自己。可是你們大法弟子刀架在脖子上還敢說真話，這讓我非常佩服。」（待續）

Upon getting back to Guangzhou, I sent in my resignation to my college. I didn’t want my colleagues and the leaders of my college persecuted by the CCP — such as being demoted, their wages being reduced, their bonus being cancelled, which were the means the CCP was using on Dafa practitioners’ workplaces – once anything happened to me.

The college authorities warmly persuaded me to stay.

(Since the CCP’s persecution of Dafa practitioners was furtive, most of mainland Chinese, including the leaders of my college, didn’t know of the ongoing brutal persecution.)

I said in my open farewell speech to my students and colleagues:

“During my two years working with you, I have received much compliment from you. I really appreciate it and would like for you to know that: All of these compliment should be given to Falun Dafa, because it is Falun Dafa that has made me become a good person and a good teacher.”

At that time, many mainland Chinese dared not even say the three words “Falun Gong”.

A teacher later said to me, “In this country, people including myself are all telling lies and speaking against our own conscience for self-interest. Yet you Dafa practitioners dare to speak out the truth even when the butcher’s knife is threatening your heads. This really won my admiration.”
