(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ge was holding a poster high above her head in the 90ºF heat on November 28, 2014, at a tourist site in Southeast Asia. She wanted to make sure the Chinese tourists could see it and learn the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution.
A group of tourists came by. They had finished sightseeing and were waiting for their bus. Among them was a young man about 6 feet tall. Seeing Ms. Ge, who was almost 60, standing and sweating out in the sun with a poster above her head, the young man came over and said, “Ma'am, you have been working very hard. Please take a break—I will hold the poster for you.”
Ms. Ge noticed the young man's sincerity and kindness and gave the poster to him. The young man took the poster and raised it high above his head, the same way as Ms. Ge did.
“You look great!” Ms. Ge thanked him and walked away to talk with other tourists.
Curious about the young man's exceptional behavior, other tourists chatted with practitioners. After hearing about the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), especially the brutality during its persecution of Falun Gong, they all quit the CCP organizations, including the young man.
Ten minutes passed and the young man began to sweat. “It seems you are tired. How about giving the poster back to me?” asked Ms. Ge. “No, I'm fine. Thank you,” The young man replied.
After distributing materials to more people, Ms. Ge came back again ten minutes later. The young man was still holding the poster, reading it, and discussing it with another tourist.
To thank the young man, Ms. Ge pressed her palms together in the heshi position (to show respect) to him and the other tourist. They were surprised and then understood it was a Buddha School gesture. Both of them smiled.
Just then the tour bus arrived. The young man took a cold drink a practitioner brought him and walked to the bus, rubbing his arm and shoulder—he seemed tired from holding the poster.
Ms. Ge said farewell to the young man and wished him good luck. She knew he would be blessed for his righteous support.
