(Clearwisdom.net) I am a woman from a rural area with only three years of schooling. Before I started practicing Falun Gong, I had a very bad temper and often quarreled with my husband. My husband had pain in his limbs and deformation of fingers and toes from severe rheumatoid arthritis. He became disabled and unable to work. Thus, I had to do all the work at home and on the land. This heavy burden attributed to my backache, leg pain, and occasional fainting. In addition, costs associated with my husband's health problems drained my hard-earned money from growing vegetables. I developed bad feelings and resentment toward him. I even had a thought of separating from him. I was exhausted and thought that life was very difficult.
One day in November of 1997, some Dafa practitioners came to our town to voluntarily teach the Falun Gong exercises. I was attracted by the words "Falun Buddha Fa" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" on their banner. The word "Forbearance" especially stood out for me. I blurted out, "I want to learn Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance too." I then started to learn the Falun Gong exercises and practiced them diligently, sometimes even in my dreams.
After a period of practice, I felt like a new person. I became healthy and energized. I also studied Zhuan Falun and learned that only by being a good person can one eliminate hardship and illness. Thus, I became nicer to my husband, and the atmosphere at home became more harmonious. He saw this change and appreciated it from the bottom of his heart.
Since July 20, 1999, the Chinese communist regime spread huge lies about Falun Dafa and Master, causing much suffering. People were confused by the deceitful lies, and Dafa disciples faced severe tests. I also hesitated about continuing to practice. One night, I dreamed that on my way to the farm with a spade on my shoulder, a young man approached from the other direction and said to me, "You should speak out for Falun Gong." Since then, I have cheered up and insisted on continuing to practice. Since all practitioners around the world decided to practice in unison in the morning, I have overcome many difficulties to do it with them without giving up housework and farming.
One day in mid-February of 2006, seven village cadres [from the Chinese Communist Party] broke into my house to rip the photo of Master off the wall. My husband physically blocked them and shouted: "Do not tear it. That is her life. I am disabled and cannot do anything. If you do not let her practice Falun Gong, you will destroy my family. I will fight you to my death." The cadres were moved and said, "Fine, she should only practice it at home." They drank some water and left.
One fellow practitioner in town heard about this incident. After planting rice upland in the spring, he encouraged my husband to also start practicing Falun Gong. My husband responded, "I am disabled with a hump on my back. My hands and legs cannot even stretch out straight. How can I do it?" The fellow practitioner told him, "As long as you are determined, Master will help you."
After more than a decade of illness, my husband then started practicing Falun Gong. His fingers could move soon afterward, and his back straightened much. He could then weave dustpans and baskets and restored some of his ability to work. He made more than five hundred yuanwithin a few months. Now, he can do all the work on the land and on the mountain. We, an old couple, have regained happiness.
On January 24, 2008, my husband went to the mountain to chop down bamboos that were damaged from an ice storm. The ice had just melted, and the soil was still loose. He chopped the bamboos on the slope of the mountain. A half-chopped piece of bamboo suddenly broke off and rolled down the hill, and he unexpectedly lost his balance and also fell to the bottom of the hill. While rolling down the hill, he shouted non-stop: "Falun Dafa is good! Master, please save me!" After a while, he slowly got up and found that he was not hurt. He later told me that he was in awe looking back at the steep slope of that hill - Master saved his life.
On October 12, 2009, I went to the attic to get something. I did not carefully secure the ladder. When I started to come down, the ladder fell and I fell with it from a height of more than three meters [more than 9 feet]. At that moment I kept saying, "I am a Dafa disciple, and Master is near me." Nothing happened to me. I could still study the Fa, practice the exercises and do chores as usual. This is exactly as Master said, "Good or evil comes from that instant thought."(Zhuan Falun) I've learned how to look inward from this event.
My husband and I have benefited from practicing Dafa, and now I want to let my relatives, friends, and nearby villagers understand the facts about Falun Dafa, so that they can be saved. My husband is a real living example of the miraculous power of Falun Dafa. I clarify the truthwherever I go. Villagers are willing to come to my house to listen to the facts and take truth-clarifying information. I take the opportunity of selling dishes in the marketplace to tell people about the goodness of Dafa, and I give out truth-clarifying CDs and other materials. At night, I also often go to nearby villages with fellow practitioners from the city to distribute information.
