"You've been a follower of the ‘Church of Almighty God’ for several years, what good has it brought to our family? It has brought us nothing, not even a grain of rice or a drop of oil. Instead, you have donated nearly a thousand yuan to them. You said ‘Almighty God’ would bless my mother-in-law, but why is she getting sicker and sicker? You go to work for the “Church of Almighty God” every day, leaving your fields deserted and covered with weeds. As a result, our family is getting poorer and poorer while others are living more and more prosperously. Do you think ‘Almighty God’ is worthy of your belief？”
Faced with these questions from his daughter-in-law, Xu Gensheng (pseudonym), from Bailongqiao Town, Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, adhered stubbornly to his own ideas instead of following his daughter-in-law’s advice to quit the “Almighty God” evil cult.
Deputy Secretary Ye and director Zhu of the Political and Legal Committee of the District Party Committee invited agricultural technicians to the rural households to advise on flower, plant, and tree seedling growing techniques.
Seeing that her father-in-law, Xu Gensheng, refused to listen to her persuasion, the daughter-in-law turned to anti-evil-cult volunteers from the Home of Love Centers in the town and district for help. On the one hand, the volunteers persuaded Xu Gensheng by appealing to reason and emotion. On the other hand, they found for him some pictures and videos of typical cases from China Anti Cult network exposing the evil nature of the “Almighty God” cult: how some middle-aged people were deceived step by step into the abyss of the “Almighty God” cult, resulting in their families being trapped in poverty or broken up…
Gradually, Xu Gensheng came to his sense: "I see! Since I became a follower of the ‘Church of Almighty God’, my wife's illness hasn’t got any better, nor has my family become happier. The ‘Church of Almighty God’ has ruined so many families. What a sin! We can't believe it anymore!”

Under the patient persuasion of his daughter-in-law as well as the anti-evil-cult volunteers from the Home of Love Centers in the town and district, Xu Gensheng finally realized his errors. He changed his phone number, determined to completely cut off contact with the members from the "Almighty God" cult organization. So he was reintegrated into his family and society, becoming a sane, rational person.
When visiting former cult members to help them strive for a relatively comfortable life, Deputy Secretary Ye of the Political and Legal Committee of the District Party Committee found that Xu Gensheng, who had quit the "Almighty God" cult, was unemployed at home. However, while chatting with him, Deputy Secretary Ye learned that Xu Gensheng was interested in growing flowers, plants, and tree seedlings. With this in mind, He visited Xu’s family later again, bringing with him some agricultural technicians. They not only provided Xu Gensheng with affordable flower seedlings and free technical information but also taught him and his family members the techniques of growing flowers, plants, and tree seedlings.

Over the past few years, Xu Gensheng has been busy with cultivating and managing flowers, plants, and tree seedlings in the fields. His family who once felt the pinch now lived a well-off life, with their annual income now surpassing 100,000 yuan. Besides, Xu has built a three-story house for his family; and his wife has almost recovered from her illness after proper treatment, which made her children very happy.
Now, Xu Gensheng's family lives a happy and harmonious life. He told everyone about the good changes that had happened to him after he quit the "Almighty God" evil cult. He said: “Evil cults are harmful to people, their families, and the society. We must stay away from the ‘Almighty God’ evil cult."

After experiencing these big changes, Xu Gensheng not only broke with the "Almighty God" evil cult in words and deeds but also volunteered to join in the anti-evil-cult publicity campaign in the town and district. Seeing Xu Gensheng's transformation, his fellow villagers said sincerely: "it is the Party and the government that has changed Xu Gensheng's life."
