(Minghui.org) I had been against Falun Gong for a long time. After my younger daughter was persecuted for practicing Falun Gong I beat her up and verbally abused her. I even did something disrespectful to Mr. Li Hongzhi, the Falun Dafa Teacher. I have written a statement stating that I regret my past actions.
My younger daughter, the Falun Dafa practitioner, has been staying with me since her divorce. At first, I was very afraid of being killed by her because of cultivation insanity, an issue I had learned about from television reports. Also, in the past my younger daughter was very bossy and difficult to be around, so she was nicknamed little chilli. She used to yell and shout at anyone and I had always been afraid of her. Therefore, I didn't look forward to have her return home.
Yet, it was totally the opposite from what I had envisioned, as she had completely changed. She no longer joked around or chattered constantly and displayed a very good demeanor. I said quietly to my elder daughter, "Your sister has changed into a new person. In the past she had a very bad temper and would easily flare up whenever she felt offended. Now, she has an even temper. Falun Gong is really divine and has turned your sister into a gentle girl. It is really a miracle!
Gradually, I began to get a good impression about Falun Dafa. Then, my younger daughter told me that the "self-immolation" incident and "killing people" were untrue and fabricated by China's media. I thought that what she said sounded reasonable. When Fu Yibin killed people, blood was splattered everywhere. How much blood would a person have? And the blood was evenly spread, so it appeared to be fake. Since I was nervous I paid attention to news stories like that. The little girl in the "Tiananmen Square self-immolation" incident could sing a song loud and clear shortly after an operation on her throat. The accountant in my work unit had the same operation, but she still needed to get very close to people's ears before others could hear her more than one year after the operation. This made me believe that the "Self-immolation" incident must be fake.
My good impressions of Falun Gong deepened after listening to my younger daughter and watching her. Gradually I began to read the truth-clarification materials about Falun Gong, and watch the DVDs. I was mostly interested in Falun Gong material where there were stories about how to turn into a good person. There were also a lot of stories from historical times and legends. When my grandchildren asked me to tell them stories, I would tell them the stories I learned from the truth-clarification materials. My grandchildren like to listen to the stories. They told other people that grandma was very knowledgable, and was able to tell a lot of interesting stories.
At 9 p.m., one day in 2007, I felt very hot and asked my younger daughter to take my temperature. After she took my temperature, she asked me not to worry. She said, "Since it is already very late, we have no medication at home and it is a bother to go to a hospital, just repeat 'Falun Dafa is good!' and Teacher will certainly take care of you." I began to recite "Falun Dafa is good!"After a while, I went to sleep and when I woke up it was daylight. I felt a bit hungry. My daughter had already prepared breakfast and I almost ate double what I have for my usual breakfast. My daughter touched my forehead and said my temperature had returned to normal. She told me that my temperature was at 39.5 degrees Celsius and she hadn't dared tell me. It was Teacher who saved me. Ever since then I believed in Falun Dafa even more firmly.
Whenever there was a problem, I would recite "Falun Dafa is good!" Every day I listened to Teacher's Fa lectures, music composed by practitioners and stories about the divine culture before going to bed. One midnight my elder grandson had a high fever and cramps. My daughter-in-law carried him to a hospital, where he had some injections. I was home and continuously recited "Falun Dafa is good! Teacher Li is good! Teacher Li, please save my grandson." As a result, in less than one hour, my son called and said that my grandson's temperature had gone back to normal and he no longer had cramps. It seemed that everything was alright. They asked me not to worry. I knew it was Teacher who saved my grandson.
In 2008, my daughter began to teach me the exercises and also bought me the book Zhuan Falun. That is the date I began to practice Falun Gong. I told my friends that Falun Gong is good and teaches everyone to be a good person. One of my friends whose relationship with her daughter-in-law was not good came to vent her grievances. She asked me why my family was so harmonious. Remembering the Falun Dafa principles, I told her that she should treat her daughter-in-law better than her son. If her daughter-in-law didn't treat her well, it most likely was because she did not treat her well in a previous live. I asked her to redouble her efforts in treating her daughter-in-law well until she was moved. I told her that this was what Teacher taught us. Later on, this friend also bought the book Zhuan Falun. My other friends, noticing my good health and our harmonious family life also bought Zhuan Falun. They were all grateful to Teacher and thank Falun Dafa for helping them live a harmonious life.
In 2009 when I crossed a road, a sedan had to slam on the brakes to come to a stop. I subconsciously grabbed something on the car. The driver said, "Old lady, why aren't you careful!" I was stunned and didn't know what had happened. The driver asked, "Have you been hit?" By then, I realized that I was alright and told him that he could leave. After the car left I couldn't find my handbag. The fruit peddler at the roadside pointed at it and I found that it had been thrown for more than 10 meters. The fruit peddler said, "Old lady, you barely escaped death!" I knew Teacher saved me once again. I was grateful to Teacher. Teacher is very benevolent.
In 2010, my younger daughter went to work in other parts of the country. I went to visit her and fell down in a practitioner's bathroom. It felt as if my waist was broken. However, I thought instantly that I was alright. Since I had Teacher with me, I was not afraid. I struggled to get up with the support of the basin. I looked in the mirror and realized that the color of my face was as white as paper and looked terrible. At the time I was the only one at home. At that time the practitioner returned home. I told her what had happened. She said, "It's a good thing. Teacher is eliminating karma for you."
She called several practitioners to practice the exercises and study the Fa with me. In the evening two practitioners sat beside me and read the Fa to me. They told me if I wanted to sleep then just sleep. Not long after I fell asleep. In the state between sleep and waking I saw several people doing things around me and I felt that someone was moving things from my left to the right side. Subconsciously I said, "Thank you, Teacher!" Then, I felt someone moving things from my right side to my left side. I clearly heard someone say, "It's impossible!" Someone else responded and I think it sounded like Teacher, "If it's not possible then reconstruct it!" Then I fell back to sleep. When I woke again it was 2:30 a.m. The two practitioners were still reading the Fa. I was really moved. Falun Dafa is really good! The help among the practitioners is selfless.
On the following day I was able to walk and did not need the support of the wall. On the third day I went back to my daughter's home by public transportation. I told her what had happened during the past two days. My daughter said that it was a good thing. She asked me not to worry since Teacher is beside me. She said her former classmates invited her for a trip to the mountains the following day and asked me if I wanted to come along. I did not even hesitate and said yes. At the foot of the mountain, I said silently, "Teacher, help me to let them witness the wonders of Dafa." As a result I was the first one to reach the top of the mountain. My daughter's classmates all said I was very fit and they would be very happy if they were as fit as I was when they reached my age. On coming down the mountain, one of her former classmates, a very strong young man, said, "Aunty, do you want to hold onto my hand!" I replied, "Good boy, your aunty doesn’t need help! I can manage." I was the first one to reach the bottom of the mountain.
In the evening I stayed with my daughter's classmates and talked to them about how I practiced Falun Gong as well as what I had experienced during the last two days. They were all amazed and all said it was really a miracle. I also asked them to read Falun Dafa materials when they have the opportunity and assured them that everything in the materials was true.
Above, I recounted some miracles I had experienced during the past few years, after I embarked on the cultivation path. I hope those people with predestined relationship can read this article and get closer to Dafa and have a beautiful future like me!
