(Minghui.org) Sue is in her 50s and works in a government agency. Both her family and career are going well. Her son attends a prestigious university, and her husband’s business is doing well. I’ve known her for a long time.
After my father became paralyzed and bedridden in 2013, I was busy taking care of him and had less contact with Sue. She called me one day in April 2020 and told me that her husband’s earnings had been unexpectedly frozen by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Her son was about to study in the United States and urgently needed money. She felt hopeless and asked if she could borrow tens of thousands of yuan (several thousand dollars) from me.
I put down the phone and felt uneasy in my heart. My father is bedridden and often needs hospitalization that requires money. Although he is a retired teacher with a pension and can reimburse a certain portion of his hospital expenses, sometimes we still need to pay a substantial amount. I was persecuted for many years, and only after 2010 was I able to work. I did have some savings, but if I lent Sue the money I would had very little left. I felt frustrated and was wasn’t sure what I should do. With today’s declining morality, hardly anyone lends others money. People often say: Who lends money nowadays? You lend it, and it’s gone.
I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and my words and deeds must reflect the demeanor of a Dafa disciple. Master said,
“Every single thing you do and every step you take out in society as a Dafa disciple, including your words and your actions, must be upstanding.” (“Fa Teaching Given on Easter 2004 at the New York Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World, Volume VI)
Sue quit the CCP more than 10 years ago. She asked to borrow money because she trusted me. She is not someone who would casually ask others to lend her money. She must be going through a very difficult time. I stopped hesitating and lent her the money. She was deeply moved. When we met that day, I explained the facts about Falun Dafa to her in greater detail, why the CCP is bad, the significance of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and more.
Sue felt the sincerity and grace of Falun Dafa. She began to clarify the truth to her relatives and friends by explaining how good Falun Dafa is and how evil the CCP is. She advised them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. All of her friends quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and they all started to say the two phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She and her friends started to conscientiously adhere to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Because Sue has a government job people always gave her gifts, goods, and money cards. Now she politely declines all of them.
During the COVID pandemic over the past three years, especially last year, many people in our area died or suffered serious complications. However, Sue and her friends were all blessed for sincerely reciting the two phrases, because they believed in Dafa. Sue had hyperthyroidism, and the doctors were afraid that the infection would worsen her hyperthyroidism, but she was fine. None of her family or relatives contracted COVID. One of her friends had late-stage lung cancer and during the pandemic only had a fever for two days. Her friends who work in the hospital, almost exclusively with COVID patients, were also fine. They feel blessed by Falun Dafa, and this made them believe in Dafa even more.
What’s most valuable is that they have taken action to repay what Dafa has bestowed on them. Last year, Sue and her friends started driving to nearby counties, districts, and villages during the weekend to clarify the truth to people and persuade them to quit the CCP. Sue and her friends often read materials and journals about Falun Dafa. They memorized some short stories they read and use them to explain the facts about Falun Dafa to villagers. The villagers accepted what they said and truly understood the facts. The effect has been very good.
In one village where they clarified the truth about Falun Dafa, villagers spray-painted the characters “Falun Dafa is good” on a wall. Some villagers quit the CCP, and told their relatives and friends.
I gave Sue and her friends Master’s newly published article “How Humankind Came To Be” during Chinese New Year this year. After reading it, they intensified their efforts and continued to persuade people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They thought it was the most meaningful thing to do. Sue and her friends brought me the names of more than 500 people who agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
Looking back over my past experiences, it was Falun Dafa that shaped a completely new me. My changes throughout this step-by-step process have been akin to being reborn and Master has put so much effort and dedication into helping me.
Thank you Master for your compassionate salvation!
