(Minghui.org) People who know me will tell you what a different person I have become since I started practicing Falun Dafa. Before practicing, I worked as a department head in a factory owned by a high-fashion clothing company, and I was domineering. People called me a “tough lady” and stayed away from me because I frequently had conflicts and fights with coworkers.
I lost a battle with one person. To seek revenge, I then called 200 people and had them fight with that person, which resulted in that person kneeling down and begging us to stop. I was still not satisfied. So, I used my connections to have that person fined several hundred yuan. At home, I frequently fought with my husband. If I lost a fight, I called my relatives and had them fight with him.
In addition, due to an abortion and other complications, for more than 10 years before practicing Dafa, I was not able to get pregnant. I sought treatment everywhere, but nothing helped, and I often dumped my anger and frustration on my husband. Our marriage was turbulent, and divorce became a regular topic. My husband then became an alcoholic. My in-laws could not stand to see their son suffer and urged him to divorce me. Our situation made everyone in the family miserable.
My life changed dramatically in 1996 when I started practicing Falun Dafa.
From studying the Fa, I realized that I should do everything according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and I learned how to be a good person. I returned things to the factory that I had previously taken home. I stopped padding my reimbursable business expenses with personal expenses. I now go to work early and leave late. I work very hard and have received many awards and much recognition for being an excellent employee. Most importantly, I can control my temper.
Because I practice Falun Dafa, I know how to care about and respect others. When working overtime at night, I provided buns for several hundred employees from my own pocket. When I found a wallet on the grounds of the factory, I immediately put a note on the blackboard informing the person where to pick up the wallet. While walking on the street, I have helped disabled people, beggars and the elderly, as well as people who deliver coal. At home, I treat my husband and my in-laws well.
A few months after I began to practice Dafa, I was pregnant with a son. I also gave birth to a daughter later on. My husband is now sober, and my in-laws smile all the time because they see how happy the family is.
As a result, the whole family has started practicing Falun Dafa. Our family has become harmonious, warm, and happy.
