(Minghui.org) Due to the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese regime, I had to leave my home in 2008. I went to another city and worked as a caretaker for an elderly lady. She was over 70 years old and had hemiplegia caused by cerebral thrombosis. She was bedridden and needed help even to turn over in bed.
I made the room very clean to make her feel more comfortable so that she would be in a good mood. I also cooked delicious food for her at every meal. Since she could not get up to use the restroom, I took care of everything on her bed and would then wash everything clean. I also wiped her body with clean towels. She was very moved and said, “Even my own daughter never took care of me like this.” I said, “Master Li taught us that we must be good people wherever we are.”
Back in the summer of 1997, my younger brother brought me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. He told me, “Falun Gong is a very good high-level qigong, and it teaches people to cultivate their minds so that they can become better people.”
I was from a rural area and because my family was quite poor, I only went to elementary school for one year, thus there were many characters in the book that I couldn’t read. I had to ask my husband for help. And then a miracle happened. From simply helping me read the book, my husband's longterm back pain was quietly cured. Previously, it was quite severe and sometimes it was so painful that he cried, but it was cured just like that. We witnessed Dafa's miraculous power and both started practicing Dafa. Our joy was hard to put into words.
My daughter was quite a naughty child when she was little and once she went to my neighbor's yard to steal their fruit, and they beat her very hard. Since then the two families had forged a great hatred of each other. Whenever I saw them, I would always curse them, and they would always try to avoid us. After reading Zhuan Falun, I understood the principle of “no loss, no gain”. One will lose virtue from cursing at others and stealing from others. Thus I was determined to apologize to them. They were touched by our apology and from then on, they always told others that we were the best people in the world.
One time my neighbor suddenly fell to the ground. He was drooling and unconscious. There was no one at his home at the time but my husband saw him fall and had him sent to the emergency room in a nearby hospital. The doctor told his family to prepare for his funeral, and the doctor released him to go home after three days.
We went to see him after he got home. He was not able to talk and had tears in his eyes when he saw us, as if he was very appreciative of what we had done. My husband said to him, “You can try to recite 'Falun Dafa is good' and you will become well.” He nodded slightly. As a result, the next day he was able to move his hands; after a week, he was able to walk and talk; after a month he was completely cured. He was very moved. He came over to our home to thank us. We said to him, “Don't thank us. It was Falun Dafa's Master who saved you. You should thank him.” Since then he always tells others that Dafa’s Master saved him and that all of what the CCP says about Falun Gong are lies.
My husband and I follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become better people. We try to think of others first and not do any bad things. Our neighbors say, “It's like they have become someone else.”
The old lady that I take care of said to her son, “You can give all the money for buying food and other things to her. I always trust Falun Gong practitioners.” Her children are very satisfied. Her daughter said, “Even we don't take care of my mother as well as you do.”
Every day I play Master's Fa-teaching recordings and let the elderly lady listen to them. I tell her that she should recite “Falun Dafa is good” and that it would be good for her health. She listened and often recites the phrase. After a month of reciting, she was able to get out of bed and walk outside. She said, “I benefited from reciting 'Falun Dafa is good'.”
