(Minghui.org) One morning, I went to the market to stock up on vegetables for the winter. I came across an elderly couple in their 70s selling cabbages. The husband did not look well, appearing very thin, with a grayish facial complexion. His wife looked worn out. Life must not be easy for them. I decided to purchase my vegetables from the couple.
When I asked the husband to help me carry the cabbages, the wife whispered to me, “He has end-stage pancreas cancer, his days are numbered.” I was shocked to hear this. I turned around and said to the man, “It’s okay, I will carry the cabbages myself.”
I also decided to help him quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), knowing it might help him. I told him that over 400 million Chinese have quit the CCP to sever their ties with this Party. I said that since the CCP seized power, it killed 80 million people with its numerous campaigns. It killed so many students during the Tiananmen Square massacre and persecuted to death countless Falun Gong practitioners who abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
The man responded, “What you said is true, and the oath we made while joining the Party really required us to dedicate our lives to it. I was so young and innocent back then, why didn’t I think of it? If it is going to be destroyed today, then I’m still a part of it. I don’t want to die with it. What should I do?” I advised, “You need to withdraw from the Party and its youth organizations. You can use a pseudonym or a real name.”
The man declared, “I cannot use a pseudonym for such a serious matter, I’ll use my real name. Thank you for telling me this. You must be a Falun Gong practitioner?”
The man was quite surprised after I told him, “Yes, I began practicing in 1997. Before that, my husband suffered the consequences of polio and was bedridden for three years. I was diagnosed with bone cancer. Both of us recovered after practicing Falun Gong.”
I handed him the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and also urged him to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ I added, “You will be protected and blessed by reciting these auspicious phrases.” This man thanked me and said, “Falun Gong practitioners are truly good.”
I went back to the market about two weeks later and met up with the elderly couple once again. The woman said to me, “I came every market day looking for you, I am so glad to find you today!” “My husband was wondering if you could find a Falun Gong book for him to read.” The man approached me and did not look like a sick patient at all! Excitedly he said, “I want to read your Falun Gong book. I want to learn Falun Gong. Can you help me to find one?” I was so happy for him and I promised to bring him the book the next market day.
When I returned to the market, they were waiting for me. I handed the man the book Falun Gong with both hands stating, “This is the book that guides our cultivation. If you can find a local practitioner to teach you that will be great, if not, I will teach you.”
Six months later, I met the elderly woman again. She was wearing a bright smile, “Let me tell you, my husband has completely recovered now. Falun Gong is truly amazing!” Just then, her husband appeared. His facial complexion was fair with a healthy glow, and he also had an ear-to-ear smile. “I am so glad to see you again. I want you to convey our gratitude to Master Li Hongzhi. I am a veteran and was deeply poisoned by the CCP. After reading your book, I understood many things, otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark. After practicing Falun Gong, I am completely healthy now. Our entire family wants to thank Master.”
When I met them again sometime later, they told me that they gave the Falun Gong truth informational materials to his fellow veterans. I was so delighted to hear that, and I hope more people will learn the truth and have a bright future.
