(Minghui.org) I lived in a forest farm community, and in 1996 I experienced the greatest grief of my life - the deaths of two family members, my mother and my 22-year-old son. My mother died from health issues, and my son died by drowning. My son was a very good person and was my favorite child. One can only imagine how difficult it was for me to face these misfortunes. I began to experience mental issues and was often in a trance. At that time, I was the director of a lumber factory. Every day in the office, I stared at the corner of the roof, thinking that my son would come back from wherever he went. When I called out for my co-workers, my son’s name often came out of my mouth instead of their names. No one dared to say much about it.

My chest, armpits, and throat always felt congested. I could barely eat, and I quietly hid in the room and cried. But after all, I was the backbone of the family. So that my family could return to a normal life, I tried my best to pretend that I was eating something and that I was fine. But, in reality, it hit me very hard mentally. I could no longer read.

A Falun Dafa practitioner asked me to listen to and read the Fa in late 1997. I said I couldn’t read, so she brought me the recorded Fa lectures, Dafa books, and Master’s photo. That night I couldn’t fall asleep, so I picked up a Dafa book. When I opened it, I saw Master’s picture, and suddenly I could read again. Then, all the places where I felt congested suddenly opened up, and I felt that my whole body was transparent. I had never felt that kind of comfort and happiness in my life. It was incredible.

It was close to midnight. Since I needed to work the next day, I soon fell asleep with the book on my chest. When I woke up, it felt like I had slept for a long time, but when I looked at the clock, it had only been ten minutes. Nevertheless, I felt energized. The next day I took the Dafa books to the office. I read them every day and couldn’t put them down.

All my illnesses subsequently disappeared, and I threw away all the medicine I had been taking. I was suddenly able to stop grieving over losing my mother and child. I began a new life, one that was truly regret-free. I arranged my time very well. I read the Fa a lot every day, and yet I got a lot of work done with little effort.

Master’s Protection and Care—Everything Is Here for the Fa

Our factory processes wood, and I have been the director since the factory was established. So I have been involved in everything, from the time when there was nothing, all the way up to our doing export business. We started the export business after I began to practice Dafa. The amazing thing was that I never needed to search for buyers. They always approached me. What was even more amazing is that every time our production volume increased, it was because a new buyer sought us out. From the workshop production, to the purchase of wood and other materials, to selling our finished products, I really did not have to worry.

I was reading the Fa in the office one day, when suddenly a voice sounded in my ears, “The containers have arrived!” I realized it was Master giving me a hint. I picked up the phone and called the goods center at the train station. Sure enough, they said the containers had arrived and told me where they were. At that time, it was very difficult to find containers. Only I could find them. After I retired, they were never again able to get containers. I knew that Master was watching over me, so I could spend more time on cultivation.

I was in the export business for ten years, and I often had the opportunity to travel abroad. However, because the costs for the travel were paid for by the factory, I did not want to use the workers’ hard-earned money for travel. I thus gave up many opportunities, such as traveling to Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Sometimes the province gave me a quota to go abroad, but I also gave that up, which saved a lot of money for the forest farm. Everyone knew about it.

During all those years of doing business, the buyers did not owe us a penny, and I did not owe the workers a penny. Nor did I owe a penny to the enterprise, industry and commerce departments, tax administration, or the timber departments. The workers were all happy, and the higher-level managers were also very satisfied. They gave me a lot of honors, which led to my having a great reputation in the local area. All of these factors laid a good foundation for me to validate the Fa in the future.

Master said:

“Everything down through the ages, all came for Fa...”(“A Play” Hong Yin II)

At that time, regardless of their level of leadership, I always told those who visited the factory about how Dafa saved my life, and they all agreed. Once, a leader stood in our factory and said, “It feels so open and broad here, making me not want to leave.” Another time, during the Chinese New Year, a drummer for a performance sat in my office for a while and said, “Director, it’s so comfortable to sit here.” I knew it was because I practice Dafa, and sentient beings can feel the great energy field.

I also put up Dafa’s fliers and banners everywhere in our factory, such as on the machines, doors, windows, walls, telephone poles, and so on. All the workers knew that Dafa is good. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Dafa, someone came to investigate where these banners came from, and all the workers protected me by saying that they knew nothing about them.

I was the factory director for several decades. During my tenure, no matter whether it was freezing or stormy, there was not a single accident where workers got hurt. Master has long been protecting me.

I was not greedy, and I never took a bribe. I cared about the workers, and I personally looked for insurance and provided it to the workers in many ways. At the time, they were not counted as official employees of the state, so it was up to the factory to pay for their insurance or not. At that time there was no seniors' insurance for these workers, but I took the initiative to make sure they all had everything they needed. Consequently, when they retired at the age of 50, they were able to receive up to 7,000 yuan of insurance. That was a lot of money at the time, because a worker’s monthly salary then was only about 100 or 200 yuan. I also paid their pensions for them every month, so when they retired, their pension was almost the same amount as their regular pay. Many people really appreciated me. Now, I understand that all of this was to lay the foundation for me to save people in the future. Because of everyone’s gratitude and trust in me, it became much easier to clarify the truth to them.

Master Protected Me During the Persecution

Jiang Zemin’s regime began to openly persecute Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) in July 1999. We had to face a different cultivation environment. In 2000, the police station was afraid that I would go to Beijing to appeal, and two officers sat in my office to watch me every day. I just had them read Dafa books. This overwhelming evil propaganda and persecution did not waver my firm belief in Dafa at all. I broke through all the resistance and interference, and I insisted on clarifying the truth and validating the Fa in different ways.

In late 2000 I discovered that the nearby forest farm had not received Dafa truth-clarifying informational materials. I found a taxi to take fellow practitioners there to distribute the materials. Since we had not been there, we didn’t know anything about the local situation. We divided into two groups. Our group started from the north side of the mountain, and the other group started from the south side. The south group clarified the truth to someone who then reported us to the police. My group didn’t know about it and we continued as normal. In the evening, we got to the yard of the police station. The police officers had just been looking for us, and they immediately detained us as soon as we arrived at the door. I was calm in my heart and was not afraid. I saw Falun spinning on the ceiling, and I said to Master in my heart: Master, don’t worry, we will definitely do well.

The police started taking notes and making phone calls to their superiors. I was just clarifying the truth to them. They let us go home unconditionally at around midnight. A few days later, the director and deputy director of the Police Department of the Forestry Bureau came to my forest farm and talked to me. At the same time, the head of the police station took his officers to ransack my home. But it turned out that on their way to my home, it suddenly started to rain heavily on an originally very sunny day. The head of the police station was shocked and said, “I can’t go against heaven’s will.” After they arrived at my home they just casually looked around.

When the police department director was later talking to me in my office, in my heart I asked Master to help me. The director said, “You have been doing very well all these years. You are famous in the province, and you were given all kinds of honors.” I said, “I did well because I follow the principles ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’ to be a good person. Why would you arrest good people? Has the CCP turned evil? You are also guilty of being used by the evil people to persecute good people!” As soon as I said those words, the director almost lost his breath. He kept coughing and couldn’t talk at all, and he had to just gesture to ask me to leave. Thus, the seemingly menacing persecution was disintegrated.

Another time, a driver at the Forestry Bureau asked me for birch tree bark. I said, “We don’t have it now, but I will give it to you in a few days.” I then gave him a card that had printed on it “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” Early the next morning, two vehicles came from the police department. The police in one vehicle ransacked my home, while the police in the other vehicle searched my office. They took a photo of Master from my office and took me to the police department. The secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee had been transferred there only two days earlier. He spoke to me very politely and did not say anything bad about Master and Dafa. After the conversation, the director of the police department asked him what to do. The secretary said to let me go home. When I was arrested, I brought with me a toothbrush and daily necessities, but I kept sending forth righteous thoughts toward the director and others. As a result, Master once again protected me in this tribulation, and I returned home safely. My gratitude to Master was beyond words.

It was just as Master said:

“I am rooted in the universe. If anyone could harm you, he or she would be able to harm me.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

As long as we follow the requirements of the Fa, Master and Dafa are with us, and the evil is really nothing and can’t move Dafa practitioners at all.

Due to my work, I often met many high-level leaders and always clarified the truth to them. The CCP secretary of the forest farm is a good person. He accepted the truth and often asked me for Master’s new writings. No more fellow practitioners have been arrested from the forest farm. I also clarified the truth to the leaders of the local police station and other workplaces and helped them withdraw from the CCP and its youth organizations. I often went to the police station on Sundays to bring them Dafa materials, and they did not refuse them. I also took them to the home of the head of the police station. They all understood the truth about the persecution.

The forest farm where I live has changed leaders three or four times, and I have gone to their offices to clarify the truth. Most of them agreed to withdraw from the CCP organizations. Persecution cases in our forest farm have been very rare. Once, a senior practitioner was taken to the police station after distributing materials at the school gate. After I found out, I went to talk with the president of the forest farm. The president said, “Don’t worry. She will be released very soon.” He also told me, “No matter who comes to look for you in the future, don’t see them unless I know about it.” When people from the local 610 Office came to see me and said that someone reported me, I clarified the truth to him. He thanked me and left.

Master’s Protection When I Save Sentient Beings

Master said:

“… while validating the Fa, out of the things that Dafa disciples need to do, the most important thing is saving sentient beings ...” (“Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume VIII)

I keep Master’s words in mind, and I never forget to validate Dafa and save sentient beings wherever I go. Before I retired, I helped everyone withdraw from the CCP organizations. After I retired, I have been going out to clarify the truth to people face to face. My family lived in a small town. I distributed materials and clarified the truth to every household in that town. With Master’s arrangement, I then moved to a different place, where I went out every single day to clarify the truth. Every week I helped 80 to 100 people withdraw from the CCP organizations.

When I shopped at the market, I always used paper money with Dafa messages printed on them. One day, a man in his 40s asked me to exchange some of this money with him. When I brought a stack of these bills to him the next day, he held the money with both hands and shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!”

I also distributed Shen Yun DVDs at the market. One day I clarified the truth to a vegetable vendor and gave him a Shen Yun DVD. Another person said, “How dare you openly distribute this? Let’s go. I’ll take you to the police station!” I said, “Great! I wanted to go there, but I couldn’t find it. Hurry and lead me there.” He was frightened and took off.

There are a lot of traffic police on the roads in big cities. I had no negative feelings towards them, and I always clarified the truth to them kindly. They all understood it, withdrew from the CCP, and thanked me. They also asked me to pay attention to safety.

I once met a man who looked like a plainclothes police officer. He politely said to me, “Can you give me a DVD?” I said of course. He carefully stowed it away. Another time, a police officer asked me to teach him the exercises at his home. I didn’t feel good about it, so I didn’t go. I don’t force it when I don’t feel safe about something, and I don’t do things to show off, because in reality everything is done by Master.

There were more than a dozen vegetable vendors from the countryside who came to the market to sell vegetables from their vehicles. I often clarified the truth to them. They never argued with me, but also didn’t express their positions. One day I saw through my celestial eye that several discs were spinning on the wall. I realized that Master was giving me a hint, so I brought some DVDs to the market. All those vegetable sellers knew me, and they said to me, “They didn’t notify us in advance that we weren’t allowed to sell today. Who’s going to pay for our cost in gas and vegetables?! But who cares about us anyway?!” They all happily accepted the DVD. I knew that Master was using this opportunity and arranged for me to save them.

There are some places where lots of people wait to be assigned labor work. When they see me distributing DVDs, they stand in line to get one. Sometimes the people at the end of the line were afraid that they wouldn’t get one, and they would try to come to the front. The knowing sides of sentient beings are truly waiting to be saved.

I go out to clarify the truth every day and have pretty much covered all the places nearby. One day, on the wall in my room, I suddenly saw with my celestial eye a man with a donkey cart. I realized that Master was giving me a hint to go to the countryside. I took some materials, but I didn’t know exactly where to go. So I just got on a bus and said I would get off when we arrived at a village. When I got off the bus, I clarified the truth in the village to many people. I talked to a Christian, who cried after understanding the facts.

I didn’t know how to get back home, but a small car came at around noon. I said hello and asked them where they were heading to. They drove me to the train station, and I helped them withdraw from the CCP. I paid them for the ride. They did not want to take it, but I insisted. It was Master who arranged the ways for me to go there and come back. I feel so fortunate to have Master!

I went to another village by bus one morning. It was almost 2 p.m. when I finished distributing the materials. Then I went back to the place where I got off the bus, and waited for the bus there. However, I did not know that it was not the bus station I needed for taking the bus back to the city. When I was clarifying the truth in the village that morning, I met a child, who asked me to help him withdraw from the Young Pioneers of the CCP. I asked him if he understood what it was, and he said he did from hearing me talk to others. He saw me waiting there around 3 p.m. and told me that it was not the right place. He walked with me for another mile to get to the right place, and then he walked back to the village. I knew that Master arranged for the child to help me get home. Thank you, Master, for always taking care of me!

Master said in Hong Yin II:

“Tathagata

Coming with true principles of free will,With a light and easy spirit, traversing the four seasThe Fa principles spread everywhere in the human worldFully laden with living beings, the Fa boat sails”(“Tathagata,” Hong Yin II)

Carrying Master’s Fa principles with me, I always walk happily and clarify the truth about Falun Dafa whenever I encounter anyone. I know that all these people have predestined relationships with me, and they will have a chance to be saved when I talk to them. However, it is not easy, but I take the hardship as joy, as my heart is attached to all sentient beings.

I don’t feel afraid when I clarify the truth, thus I encounter very few obstacles. But I do have other difficulties. Although I was a manager for most of my life, I did not get much education. So things like learning to use computers was very difficult for me. When the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, I asked fellow practitioners to make 500 copies for me. Everyone was willing to help, and I ended up getting 1,500 copies. I was not worried about distributing all of them, but where would I store them? Then Master helped me again, and my nephew offered to keep them in his storage. They were safely stored there until I distributed them. As a result, my nephew was blessed and his business kept growing.

A few years ago, my son had an intestinal illness. I was not moved by it; instead, I sent forth strong righteous thoughts to dismantle the old forces’ persecution of my family. After sending forth strong righteous thoughts for three consecutive days, a whirlwind suddenly blew the glass lid of my sauce jar up into the air, and then to the ground where it shattered. I knew that the evil factors had been disintegrated. Soon after, my son recovered. Thank you, Master, for your protection!

I had experienced great pain and suffering in the past. It was Master who gave me a brand new life, and it was because of Master and Dafa that I’m now living a life without regrets! Everything in this world comes and goes, and only what Dafa gives us will be glorious forever! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa! At this last moment of Fa-rectification of the cosmos, I will cultivate myself well and diligently save sentient beings!
