(Clearwisdom.net) I'm an eighty-year-old farmer. Since I started practicing Falun Dafa, all of my illnesses have disappeared. I was nearly blind, but my eyesight has completely recovered. Because of the greatness of Dafa, I'm happier than ever.
Since July 20, 1999 Jiang Zemin's group and the CCP have severely persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners, and many people have been deceived by the CCP's lies. I often go out to bring truth clarification materials to the farmers in their fields and homes. The materials expose the crimes of the CCP and display the beauty of Dafa.
After the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, I started to distribute that. Many people came to recognize the evil nature of the CCP and understand the truth about Falun Dafa by reading the Nine Commentaries. Many of them have withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
The evil is afraid of me, so it has tried to tempt me with various material interests and threatened me in order to stop me from distributing truth clarification material. I haven't fallen into its traps, and done well with the three things, following the path arranged by Master.
Before when the authorities harassed me, I used human methods against the persecution. For example, when they came, I'd hide the truth clarification materials or leave home, but that didn't solve the problem. Through continuous Fa study, I gradually developed more righteous thoughts, and now I understand Master's words "In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, Not Human." The following is an experience I'd like to share with my fellow practitioners.
In October 2005 our local CCP members started a new round of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. I'd become a so-called "key person." One day, seven people from the local government and the 610 office came to my home and demanded that I turn over my Falun Dafa books and truth clarification materials. They tried to force me to stop practicing Falun Gong. They threatened to confiscate my belongings and arrest me if I didn't comply.
I asked Master to strengthen me, reciting the Fa Rectification verses in my heart. I told them how I'd changed after practicing Falun Gong, how I'd become healthy and improved my moral character. As a practitioner I won't fight back when punched or insulted. I consider others first, and look inwards in the face of conflicts. I've become a good person. I also told them the facts about the April 25 event and the Tiananmen immolation incident. I also asked the local officials to bear witness to the big improvements to my health, including my eyesight.
The local officials said, "You say your eyesight has improved, prove it by threading a needle without your glasses with one try. If you can do it, we'll believe you and leave. If you fail, you must surrender all your books and materials and come with us." I found a needle and thread and asked Master to strengthen me and help me succeed.
I started to thread the needle for the chief of the 610 Office. I felt that Master was with me. Master's Fashen made the eye of the needle bigger, so that I could pull the thread through successfully the first time, But the Court Director said he missed it and asked me to do it again. Later the chief persecutor asked me to do it again. I did it two more times successfully.
They couldn't figure out how I'd done it. They were afraid I'd tricked them. The chief persecutor tried it himself, and it took him three tries. I heard their discussion: A 30-year-old needs three tries, and an 80-year-old can do it in one. They had nothing more to say in facing the facts, so they left without causing any more trouble.
