(Minghui.org) A few minutes after midnight on February 23, 2016, I saw the following scene when I sent forth righteous thoughts.

A very plainly dressed man was carrying many keys, the kind used to open prison cells. He opened the locks to one cell after another. Some cells were not unlocked yet. The guards and officers who worked in the prison were gone.

After he unlocked a cell, the man did not say anything; he simply went to the next cell. The people inside the cells did not react. They looked numb, their faces were blank, and they were silent, it was as if they could not think anymore. The people imprisoned in the cells were Falun Gong practitioners, as well as people who do not practice Falun Gong.

I knew this was a mental prison – the numbing mindset formed as a result of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture. After decades of brainwashing, many people have lost their identities and their own thoughts, and they do not know who they are after being released. They do not know how to survive outside the prison, and they feel uncomfortable unless they are treated as prisoners.

In the scene, only two Falun Gong practitioners walked out of the prison, and almost no non-practitioners walked out.

The above is what I saw, at my level, regarding the situation of some practitioners.

Here I would like to share some of Master's words related to the Party culture:

“Over the last several decades, the gradual and at times imperceptible indoctrination and influence of the evil CCP’s Party culture has made the Chinese people’s disposition warped, including that of some Dafa disciples, making them think about things in extreme ways—to the point that their thinking is completely different from that of people abroad or of people in ancient, traditional China. Mainland China has well over a billion people, and through gradual indoctrination their minds have become deviant without their knowing it. They think that everyone is the same, that there’s nothing unusual [about their thinking], and that that’s just how people are.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2014 San Francisco Fa Conference”)

“The evil ideas that the wicked CCP has indoctrinated people with are considered normal now in the minds of mainland Chinese. Some young people have been indoctrinated in that way since birth, so to them that warped, evil culture is natural, and when they see what’s normal they instead find it ridiculous or can’t understand it. How could you change them, then? They have never seriously, systematically studied Chinese history and culture, and they have learned Chinese history in only a rough sense and with an approach that’s critical [of tradition]. Yet even gods commend the glorious five-thousand-year history of Chinese civilization! But after the arrival of the evil, demonic CCP, the culture was ruined, and cultural remains were destroyed by the wicked Party. The campaign to “destroy the Four Olds” was a tragedy like never before in the history of humankind! Even now they are still indoctrinating students with the idea that ancient China was backward, that none of the emperors, generals, ministers, scholars, or fine ladies were good people, and that only the Party is what’s best. I feel sorry for this entire generation of Chinese.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2014 San Francisco Fa Conference”)

“What’s to Fear?

Should you have fear,it will seize upon youIf thoughts are righteous,evil will collapseThe cultivator’s mindis loaded with FaSend righteous thoughts,and rotten demons explodeGods walk the earth,validating the Fa”
