(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa in 1997 when I was eight years old. While my parents watched Master's videotapes of teaching the Fa, I played nearby, and I was also listening to Master's lecture. I memorized Master's words while I was playing. I also tried to follow my parents movements to do the exercises and I quickly learned how to do them.
When I was two years old, I had serious tracheitis. When winter came, I could hardly breathe. No matter how many pills and injections I was given, I did not improve. Everything changed after I started to cultivate in Dafa. When I was in elementary school, I always liked to share with my friends the beauty of Dafa and the positive physical and mental changes I had experienced.
One day in the fifth grade, I went boating with one of my good friends. I fell into the water that was two meters deep, and my friend was so worried that he jumped in to save me. He soon got tired, however. Suddenly, the boat came to us by itself even though there was no wind. I grabbed the boat and we were saved. My friend later told me that if the boat had not come, we would have both lost our lives. I realized that Master was protecting us. Thank you, Master!
When I was in the seventh grade, the Communist regime started the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Our family however, persisted in our Dafa cultivation. My mother was reported for telling others the facts about Dafa, and she was put in a forced labor camp twice. Once a year the police came at night and demanded to know if we were still practicing Falun Gong. Then they ransacked our home, strewing clothes and bedcovers everywhere. However, that could not stop us from practicing Falun Gong. My parents sometimes went out in the middle of the night to distribute truth-clarification materials and post messages to tell people the facts of Falun Gong.
I am very introverted and was thus shy about talking with other people. When I was in the ninth grade, a big wave of people began quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I tried to save my good friends first. Every evening after class I asked my closest friends to take a walk on the playground. As we walked, I talked with them about my personal experience of practicing Falun Gong and the beauty of Dafa. I also talked about the persecution. Many of my classmates were saved this way. I did the same thing in high school to help my good friends quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Several years ago, my company asked me to be the director in another city, and I had to travel back every Monday for the weekly meeting. On my way back, I took a taxi to the station. Master opened my wisdom, and every time I took a cab, I was able to talk to the driver easily and help him quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The driver said, “You look so young, but you know many things.” I knew that Master was encouraging me.
At the end of every year, we have a get-together party with fellow classmates. I was not sure how I could tell them about the facts of Dafa in front of so many people. I asked Master for help. In the end, eleven people who were sitting at my table all agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
I am now over 20 and facing the issue of marriage. Many of my relatives and friends don't understand the fact that I don't smoke or drink, or have a girlfriend, which is rare among the people of my generation. They think that I am different. In our area, many people my age even have kids in elementary school already.
I think that, because we have reached the final period of Fa-rectification, it is even more urgent for practitioners to focus on telling people the facts about Dafa and save sentient beings. I should not fall in love with someone.
In this precious period of time, I hope that Dafa practitioners my age who used to be young practitioners will catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification and return home with Master.
