被真理唤醒的心(37)

Souls Awakened

一回到广州我就去学校辞职。我不想我一旦出事,学校领导和同事们被牵连、降职、扣工资、扣奖金(中共对大法弟子所在的单位都是采用这一手段)。

校方极力挽留我。

(由于中共对大法弟子的迫害是暗中进行的,所以多数的大陆民众,包括我的学校领导,并不知道这场正在进行的残酷迫害。)

我在公开对同事和学生致告别辞时说:

“和你们一起工作这两年我得到了你们很多赞扬。我感谢你们,并想让你们知道:这一切赞扬应该给予法轮大法,因为是法轮大法使我成为一个好人、一个好老师。”

那时,很多大陆民众连“法轮功”三个字都不敢说。

一位老师后来对我说:“在这个国家,大家都在为了自己的利益说假话、说违心的话,这其中也包括我自己。可是你们大法弟子刀架在脖子上还敢说真话,这让我非常佩服。”(待续)

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.”
