(Minghui.org) The weather was hot, and we needed to turn on the fans in late May 2007. So my Dad decided to clean the blades of the ceiling fans first. He put a chair on the kitchen table and then climbed on it to reach the fan.
We were all in the dining room, and no one knew what he was doing. We then suddenly heard a loud crash, followed by the sound of things falling. We rushed to the kitchen and found Dad lying on the floor unconscious. He came to after my husband pressed his philtrum (base of the nose). When we asked him how he felt; he said he was a bit dizzy, but should be okay after he rested. Mom said he needed to go to the hospital.
We called emergency and he was rushed to the hospital. The CT scan showed he had a brain hemorrhage, and he was taken directly to intensive care. The doctor said his brain was bleeding, and it would require open skull surgery if the condition persisted. Mom was so scared that she did not know what to do. Then she remembered that she’s a Falun Dafa practitioner, and we should ask Master Li (Dafa’s founder) for help.
I waited outside in the hallway, and I asked Master to help my father. I quietly recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” While we waited, the doctor issued two critical condition notifications. Dad kept convulsing and making strange noises. He was a middle manager in a state-run enterprise and a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) member. We asked him to quit in the past, but he said there was no hurry, and it could wait until after he retired. Mom’s illnesses all went away after she began practicing Falun Dafa, so he was very supportive of her practice.
Mom said, “Ask your Dad to quit the CCP.” I went to him and said anxiously, “Dad, why don’t you quit the CCP? Only in this way can you quickly recover.” He agreed.
Miraculously, the convulsions stopped. When the nurse came to give him drugs to stop the convulsions, I told Dad that he did not need it; he only needed to say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” often. He was indeed okay afterward. His condition kept improving. The doctor said to us his brain stopped bleeding, and there was no need for surgery.
Dad was transferred out of the intensive care unit a few days later and stayed in a private room. I played Dafa music on an MP3 for him. He recovered quickly and was discharged from the hospital a month later.
Dad recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” often after the incident. He observed that while he completely returned to normal, the other patients whose conditions were less serious had not fully recovered.
My mother-in-law is an honest, hard-working farmer. She was also a CCP member and worked in the village squadron before she retired. She became nervous whenever family members talked about the CCP, even with the doors closed. She cautioned us not to say these things outside the house. She felt that we should obey the Party, no matter what it said. We should not talk about the fact that it slanders Falun Dafa.
I gradually told her the facts about Dafa and the persecution while measuring her ability to accept what I said. She finally understood the truth and agreed to quit the CCP.
My sister-in-law’s family all work in government enterprises, and they are quite affluent. My mom said we needed to tell them the facts about Dafa and the persecution. I was reluctant because I felt my sister-in-law was self-righteous; she doubted whatever others said and always forced her opinion on people. I avoided talking to her when I was around her. Her husband is a company executive. I felt they would not believe anything I said.
We went to my sister-in-law’s home to celebrate the Chinese New Year last year. Mom said it was a good opportunity to tell them the facts about Dafa. I felt so too; the Fa-rectification has already proceeded to this stage, so holding onto old grudges and notions is a strong attachment. People are all here to listen to the truth, including our relatives.
Mom and I coordinated our efforts. We told the facts to my brother-in-law and gave him a Falun Dafa pendant. Even though he was a top executive, he never became a CCP member. But he had joined the Young Pioneers and was willing to quit it. However, we did not talk to my sister-in-law because she was busy.
This year we went to their home again, and we decided we should not miss the opportunity. We talked to my sister-in-law, and she agreed to quit the CCP after all. Their daughter had come home from living abroad. We told her the facts about Dafa, and she was receptive too.
After we talked to my sister-in-law about the persecution, I could feel Master had completely removed my attachments to resentment and jealousy that I could not get rid of for a long time.
