(Minghui.org) An old friend of mine, who turned 85 this year, joined the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) before it seized power. He was seriously brainwashed by its atheistic ideology and really stubborn.
He knew that I practiced Falun Dafa and opposed it. For a time, our relationship was strained.
I had been to his home many times and wanted to tell him the truth about Falun Dafa, but he refused to let me in. At that time, I really wanted to give up on him, but I thought that he was a very good person. He was blinded by the CCP's propaganda and misunderstood Falun Dafa. I felt that it was my obligation to let him know the truth.
On the way to his home one day, I was knocked down by a taxi. In an instant, however, it seemed that someone had pulled me up. How could an old man like me stand up so easily? There is another story in this regard that occurred three years ago.
I suffered a stroke and modern medicine could not cure me. I was 70 years old and paralyzed. I had heard of Falun Dafa before but didn't learn it. But after being thrust into a desperate situation, I wanted to give Dafa a try.
After learning Falun Dafa, I understood more about the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It seemed a window was opened in my heart!
A miracle soon happened: I could stand, walk, and take care of myself. Only I was not all that steady when I walked. I was full of joy, however, and took walks when I had time.
A lot of people asked me how I recovered, and I told them it was because I practice Falun Dafa.
Now let's go back to the car accident. The taxi driver who bumped into me was scared and quickly offered me 500 yuan and asked to take me to the hospital. I immediately turned him down and said, “You can go, I am fine.”
The bystanders said, “Anyone else would take this opportunity to extort money. Why do you turn down the money?”
I replied, “I practice Falun Dafa. I was not injured. How can I take someone's money dishonestly?” I didn't know that one of the bystanders happened to be my old friend's daughter-in-law.
She told my friend what she saw when she got home. The next day, I went to my friend's home again and, this time, he actually opened the door for me!
He asked me, “Are you all right from the car accident? Why didn't you go to the hospital? You are silly for not taking the 500 yuan. How can you find the taxi driver in the future if there is something wrong with you?”
He then confided, “I was home every time you came here—I just didn't want to let you in. But I was moved when I heard that you refused to take the money after being hit by a car. That's why I opened the door today.”
From then on, I went to his home whenever I had time and told him the truth about Dafa and the CCP persecution, as well as why he should quit the Party.
He now accepts the information I bring him. His daughter-in-law also read the materials and asked, “Is Falun Dafa really so good?”
After about two weeks, his daughter-in-law suddenly discovered that the pustules in her thighs were gone. For more than two years, they had been oozing pus and were also very painful.
She was very puzzled and wondered aloud, “Why were they suddenly cured?”
My old friend told her, “It is Falun Dafa that cured you.” It was so amazing!
Witnessing the magic of Falun Dafa, my friend changed his mind and agreed to quit the CCP. Persuaded by him, 12 members of his family also agreed to withdraw their memberships in the CCP organizations.
Thank you, Master, for saving them!
