(Minghui.org) All of my friends and family members have heard about Falun Dafa and the persecution from me, and most, with the notable exception of my husband, have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
My husband was glued to the television every day, listening to the CCP's lies and propaganda about Falun Dafa. He held incorrect views and said bad things about the practice. For the most part, I had given up on saving him and chose to avoid him.
Of course, he was afraid that the police would come to our home and take me away. I could see the fear in his face if anyone knocked on our door at night. If I came home late, I could see the anxiety all over him when I walked in, especially if he had not been able to get a hold of me. This all took its toll on him and he eventually had a mental collapse.
Dafa disciples have the Fa to guide us when encountering tribulations. What do ordinary people have? They have nothing, and they feel afraid and hopeless. During the past 16 years of the persecution, my family has felt the pressure and suffered the pain of losing loved ones. As such, I realized that I needed to listen to Master, not give up on my husband, and try to save him.
My Husband's Attitude Changes
My husband said some disrespectful words about Master when he was drunk one night. The following morning he had a persistent cough and difficulty breathing, so I decided to communicate with him by writing a letter.
I tried to be very clear in the letter, “While practicing Dafa these 17 years, I have not taken any medicine. I have also been very tolerant of your behavior with other women. You don't take care of me or care about our finances. Do you think I could be this tolerant if I didn't practice Falun Dafa? And still, you are disrespectful to Master! That cough you are experiencing now is a warning. If you don't change your ways, more serious things could be next. Yet, if you apologize to Master with respect and sincerity, and repeat from the bottom of your heart 'Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!' your cough may stop.”
He did as I asked, and his coughing stopped within two days. He then showed tremendous respect for Master.
During the Fa-rectification period we must cultivate diligently to repay Master's compassionate and arduous salvation. The sentient beings who are being saved will soon be grateful, will praise and respect Master, and will thank Dafa practitioners for saving their lives.
Let us do better in keeping up with the progress of Fa-rectification, saving more sentient beings, and fulfilling our vows.
