A Treasured Book
My name is Gao Yinzhu and I am a 34-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Guan County, Shandong Province. I learned Falun Dafa when I was 18. At that time I only read Dafa books and did not practice the exercises. I developed serious cervical spondylitis due to long hours working at my job in the clothing industry. I saw doctors many times, but my condition did not improve. In 2005, I began to practice Falun Dafa wholeheartedly. I read the treasured book, Zhuan Falun, every day and my sick body improved.
At the time I resumed my practice of Falun Dafa, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) 610 Office was rampantly persecuting Dafa practitioners. My family members were very fearful and didn’t allow me to read Dafa books. My husband quarreled with me whenever he saw me reading the book. Once he said, “If you read that book again, I will send you to the public security bureau.” He also called on my elder brother to confiscate my book.
I didn’t let my brother take the book, so he hit me in the face twice. I told him, “You can hit me as long as you don’t take my book.” “No way, I will take it,” he said as he kicked me several times. He not only took the book away but ripped the pages out in front of me. I was heartbroken! I didn’t cry when he hit me, but I did when he stole my treasured book. My younger brother helped me up and said, “As long as you have belief in your heart, just let him take the book.”
A week later, my son caught a cold. My husband asked me to get medicine for the boy from my aunt in a nearby village. She is also a Dafa practitioner. When I told her about what happened to my book, she asked, “Do you know what happened to the book?” I answered, “I don’t know what my elder brother did with it.” She then told me, “A week ago, when my son was returning home after working the night shift, he saw a light coming from a roadside ditch. He got out of his car to look. He found a book in the ditch and brought it home, and it turned out to be a copy of Zhuan Falun.” I said, “Quick, bring it to me and let me see it.”
She brought it to me and I was utterly amazed! It was the one that had been taken from me! I cried when I realized that my treasured book had been recovered! My aunt said, “This book was found less than two miles from your home. Just as Teacher Li said, 'If it is yours, you won’t lose it.' Isn’t this miraculous? You must learn the Fa with your whole heart, let more sentient beings know Falun Dafa is good, and tell everyone about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The lies told by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cannot be believed. Falun Dafa is righteous, it is the heavenly principle.” I nodded.
I took the treasured book home and told this story to my husband. He also thought it was very magical. He had talked with Dafa practitioners and knew that Dafa and Teacher Li were wronged and Dafa practitioners were all good people. At last he said to me with a smile on his face, “I’m sorry. You can read your sparkling, treasured book from now on.”
Falun Dafa Practitioner Uninjured in a Sulfuric Acid Spill Incident
My name is Feiyan (pseudonym) and I’m a veteran Dafa practitioner. From frail and sick to healthy, I benefited a lot from the practice, and from a company chief accountant to a factory drudge, I have been able to embrace things calmly. I don’t want to dwell on those things, however.
What I want to share is an incident that occurred in 2004. At that time I was already a factory worker. Every day, I had to add a certain amount of sulfuric acid to a container. I can’t remember how heavy the acid barrel was, I only remember that it took two people to move it.
One day, my colleague didn’t come to work. As a Dafa practitioner, without a second thought, I moved the barrel by myself. The result was that I spilled sulfuric acid on my leg and foot. My sock was burned and my foot was exposed. I immediately washed my foot with running water. After washing it six times I saw that my foot was still in good shape. It wasn’t hurt at all! If it were not for Teacher Li’s protection, I’m afraid I would have been a crippled woman in the latter half of my life.
Previously, a worker who spilled sulfuric acid on his feet was hospitalized for two months before his wounds healed. Another worker was injured severely just because he got just a little acid on his face. However, as a Dafa practitioner, the sulfuric acid merely burned my socks and left my feet intact. I will strive to be very diligent in my practice of Falun Dafa to show my gratitude for Teacher Li’s benevolence.
