(Minghui.org) Before I became a practitioner, I was known for my hot temper. I had many health problems. Besides, I was in a cold war with my husband’s parents, which put an extra strain on my relationship with him.
In a stroke of good fortune I took up the practice of Falun Dafa. I soon changed into a completely different person.
From reading the Dafa books, I learned my true purpose in life. I became more feminine and learned to think of others first. I began to respect and care for my in-laws, and I became optimistic and pleasant, even when others gave me a hard time.
My husband was the director of the Party organization section in a large state-owned company. He also served as president of the workers union and was responsible for persecuting Falun Dafa.
Although my taking up Falun Dafa presented a challenge for him, he was deeply impressed because of the changes within me and the improvement of my health. He told his friends that he was the husband of a Falun Dafa practitioner. At work he refused to partake in the persecution. Instead, he helped spread the truth about Dafa by driving me places to distribute Dafa informational materials.
As supportive as he was of Falun Dafa and my practice, he was uncomfortable when I helped people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. His apprehension had an affect on my confidence, and I did not do very well with it at first.
Things changed several years ago when his company was bought by corrupt CCP officials. Several thousand employees were laid off. The government labelled them “personnel waiting for employment.” Since my husband was the president of the Appointed Workers’ Union, he was responsible for helping them all find jobs.
In December 2011 my husband suddenly fell very ill. Doctors diagnosed him with hypertension, diabetes, myocardial and cerebral infarction, and kidney problems.
He had many symptoms and was on about 30 different medications. He ate very little and felt as if he was dying.
He saw a neurologist and a cardiologist. To prevent cardiac arrest, the cardiologist told him that he should not be on intravenous medications. The neurologist then wanted him to have an intravenous infusion to dissolve the clots in his blood. Since the two doctors could not agree on a treatment plan, his neurologist demanded that he check into a hospital for intensive treatment.
Each doctor insisted that my husband would be treated in their hospital. While they were arguing, he was diagnosed with kidney problems.
He condition worsened and I was worried that he could die at any minute. After a battery of exams and the resulting bills, we both lost all hope that modern medicine could cure him.
“Let’s go home,” he said. “You recovered after practicing Falun Dafa. I want to practice with you. Who knows? Maybe Falun Dafa will help me, too.”
This was music to my ears. I had asked him many times to practice Dafa, but he always refused. Given his request, I knew that we had nothing to worry about.
As soon as he began to cultivate, his faith in Master grew strong. Not long after he learned the exercises, his celestial eye opened and he saw Falun and swastikas spinning around his body. He became healthy, with rosy cheeks and a smiling face.
All our family members, relatives, and friends were amazed at how his health improved after he began to practice Falun Dafa. Having witnessed his recovery, several family members also wanted to practice.
He was allowed to work from home. That meant that many people came to our house for help in finding a new job. This gave us the opportunity to talk to them in a private setting. We told them the truth about Falun Dafa. We also encouraged them to quit the CCP. This great arrangement effectively turned our home into an assistance center to help quit the CCP.
Some employment issues are supposed to be managed in the residential CCP offices. But because of our open door policy and my husband’s great attitude and expertise, people preferred to come to our house. Oftentimes the former employees brought their families along with them.
Sometimes if people were not listening to me or interrupted me while I was telling them the facts, my husband said, “Please listen to her. She is telling you the truth,” or “She is trying to help you quit the CCP. I quit the Party long ago.” His words carried some weight with the locals. He usually did not have to say much to convince people to quit the Party.
Before we practiced Falun Dafa, my husband and I suffered from many illnesses. We might not be alive today if we did not practice Falun Dafa.
Many of my husband’s friends ask me for the secret of our good fortune. I tell them, “Just read Zhuan Falun. It’s all in the book.”
