(Minghui.org) My brother married in 2006. Although my sister-in-law had a short temper and was competitive, she was also rational and kind. She didn’t practice Falun Gong during the time she dated my brother. When he first told her that our whole family practiced Falun Gong, she got upset and said, “What’s the matter with your family? Why can't they do something more meaningful?” She even gave him a kick. She told later me that she was influenced by the propaganda that slandered Falun Gong. As she gradually got to know my family, she found out that we were all very kind and normal. She became less concerned.
In time, as she listened to the truth clarification and watched videos about Falun Gong, she came to understand the truth and realized that Dafa was wonderful. She also read Zhuan Falun twice, but she didn’t believe the miracles described in the book.
Afterwards, my brother started practicing Falun Gong, but things didn't go well between him and his wife. They often had conflicts since he was a new practitioner with a limited xinxing level. On the surface, the conflicts were caused by his wife, but, in fact, they were also caused by my brother’s attachments. For example, he was not very considerate of her, often said harsh words, and was angry deep inside although he appeared kind on the surface.
As their conflicts escalated, their marriage came to an end and they divorced two years ago. This hit my parents hard. In addition, she controlled all their money, so it was a huge xinxing test for everyone in our family. She still wanted to observe my brother for a little while to see if he'd change, but she was completely disappointed last fall. She went on a long trip and returned to her mother’s home at the end of last year.
She soon started going out with a police station director. She mentioned the issue of Falun Gong to him since she had learned the truth. My sister-in-law was smart and could tell that he didn’t like Falun Gong, although he didn’t say it out loud. Although this person was better looking and had more money that my brother, she thought that his personality was poor. However, she hesitated to come back to my brother, remembering that he hadn't treated her very well.
During the stay at her mother’s home, she saw that family relationships on her mother's side were tense due to money issues. Although they were rich, they were not happy. Both of her sisters were divorced and her brother divorced twice. Her oldest sister became rather crude and cursed all the time. Her parents suffered from many illnesses and were truly miserable, although they didn’t have to worry about money. Living there, she started thinking about whether or not she'd asked too much of my brother. She remembered the peaceful and joyous days when she was in our family. Although our family was not rich, we lived a happy life. She was very confused and didn’t know what to do.
This spring she called my brother and said that she wanted to come talk to our family. She didn’t mention anything about getting married again, she just said that she wanted to explain things to my parents. When I heard that, I immediately asked my family to try to convince her to remarry my brother, because I knew that divorce was not a good thing. However, my family was not very hopeful because she was very stubborn, and it was hard to imagine that she would want to come back.
She came and chatted with my parents, and all of the misunderstandings disappeared. During their conversation, she couldn’t help crying when she talked about how my brother had hurt her feelings. My brother sincerely apologized to her. She smiled with joy and asked him to marry her again. However, she hesitated again after she left our home. She thought, “Should I observe him for a longer period of time? Am I being too hasty? Can I get along with him long term?”
Very confused, she took out the book Zhuan Falun. This time, she read it carefully. In the past, she had read it with a certain intent and, as a result, she didn’t understand the deeper meanings. This time, she read it with her heart.
She read the book non-stop for two days. When she finished, she was shocked and awakened! All of her confusion disappeared. She knew how to walk her path from that moment on, and she remarried my brother. She became very diligent and practices the exercises every day. She can do the sitting meditation for at least 40 minutes. Sometimes, she clarifies the truth to others. One time, my mother bought vegetables from a vendor. She walked back to the vendor and convinced him to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
My sister-in-law started practicing Falun Gong when she remarried my brother. She feels that she is the happiest person in the world.
