(Minghui.org) I am a 60-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from the countryside of Hebei Province. To help people better understand Falun Dafa, I would like to tell you about a car accident I was in.
I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle in September 2014. My head hit the ground first. However, my first thought was that I would be all right because I am a practitioner.
My bicycle was crushed. One of my shoes hung on the bike, and the other was missing. My body ached and I struggled to stand up. The driver came over to help me and asked if anything was wrong. I told him that I was all right and not to worry, because I practiced Falun Dafa.
I asked him if he had heard of the importance of withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates. He said that he had read Falun Dafa materials but he had only joined the Young Pioneers.
I told him to quit this CCP affiliate and explained that when the CCP met with its demise, if he was still a member, he might go down with it. He indeed quit the Young Pioneers.
Family Involved
The driver's father was a taxi driver who happened to pass by. He wanted to report the accident to the police, but I did not let him. He also wanted to take me to the hospital, but I told him to just take me home.
The driver told me that his wife had died in a car accident a month before. I asked him if his wife had ever joined any CCP organizations. He said she was a member of the Young Pioneers, so he agreed that I should help her quit it.
I talked to him about Dafa and how I had benefited from it. I asked him to remember and recite “Falun Dafa is good,” and he would be blessed in the future. I also gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, and he said he would read it.
His father kept quiet. The next morning the driver and his parents came to see me. The father said, “Last night, I heard my son reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' all night long and it made me feel very good. I would like to quit the CCP.” He was friendly--not like he was the day before. He kept saying that Falun Dafa was so good.
He wanted to give me money, but I did not accept it. However, they took my bicycle for repair.
My daughter saw the bruises from the accident two days later. She was upset: “I know that Falun Dafa practitioners don't ask for money, but you should have a doctor check you over. Considering your age and the severity of the accident, what if something is wrong?” I assured her that I was all right.
My head, back, and legs hurt for several days, but I continued to do what I should do—such as household chores, studying the Dafa books, doing the exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts. I also went out to distribute Falun Dafa materials and talk to people about Dafa daily. I was no longer was in pain.
I saw the driver again recently. He said that I looked really healthy and that Falun Dafa is truly wonderful. He told me that he had read Zhuan Falun twice.
