(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2018 and I am deeply grateful for Master’s (the founder of Falun Dafa) compassion. Master has always guided, watched over and protected me. Whenever I think of his compassion, tears well up in my eyes, and I find it impossible to express my gratitude in human language.
My husband and I live in a large city, and every New Year, our family of three returns to the small town where my in-laws live to celebrate the holiday. During one visit to see my in-laws, my husband’s older brother learned that I practiced. His downstairs neighbor practices, and he brought her to our home. Chen is in her 70s, and I knew meeting her was Master’s compassionate arrangement.
While we talked, I learned that there were several Falun Dafa practitioners in the area who, due to their fear of being persecuted, had stopped practicing. Chen visited them, but they had not yet stepped forward. She was the only one in the area who clarified the truth. She had to travel to another city that was three hours away to obtain copies of Minghui Weekly.
Chen told me that in the past, her husband, in an attempt to force her to renounce her faith, poured a pot of boiling water on her. She persisted in studying the Fa and doing the exercises, and her burn injuries completely healed. Whenever she can, she goes out and talks with people about Falun Dafa, advises them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Chen does not have a group environment for cultivation, and the other practitioners do not help her. She silently persists in doing the three things on her own in the small city, and is firm in her determination to assist Master and save people.
After learning about the local situation, I coordinated with Chen and we talked to people in the area. About two weeks before the New Year I started preparing for the trip to that town, and printed hundreds of copies of truth-clarification materials. Since my workplace is relatively close to my home, I go home during lunch break and print materials. Sometimes, I buy a few pancakes from the market and take a few bites. During my lunch break, I can produce eight or nine truth-clarification journals. In the evening, I quickly eat dinner and then make more truth-clarification materials. I kept producing materials until the evening of December 29th. By then, I had filled a large bag with informational materials about Falun Dafa and the persecution and many stickers.
On New Year’s Eve, after we finished eating dinner, when the family gathered around the mahjong table, I slung my backpack over my shoulder and walked out the door. I thought, “During the New Year, so many people are returning home, and families are happily reuniting. Seeing this truth-clarification journal, they will understand that Falun Dafa practitioners have not stopped revealing the truth even during the New Year holiday.”
Winters in northern China are very cold. I wore a down jacket, and by the time I finished distributing the materials and attaching the stickers, the armpits and back of my inner clothes were soaked with sweat. I remember one year when it snowed heavily on New Year’s, and there was about 10 centimeters of snow on the ground. As I was about to leave the house, my father-in-law said, “It’s slippery outside because of the snow. Be careful.” I knew this was compassionate encouragement from our great Master. So I replied, “Thank you.”
Over the years, I delivered truth-clarification fliers to more than 60 percent of the households in the residential areas. Every New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, and the second day of the New Year, I keep distributing informational materials. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, I do not stop my efforts to save people.
Chen is also diligent. Using the time of family visits during the New Year, every year, she goes door-to-door to talk with people and encourages them to quit the CCP. She gives me the list of people who want to withdraw their Party memberships and asks me to help enter the names on the Quitting the Party website. Chen also gave me 500 yuan, and asked me to use it to make truth-clarification materials so that more people can see the truth, understand the truth, and spread the truth.
In 2023, Master’s new lecture, “How Humankind Came To Be,” was published. On New Year’s Day, Chen came to my house to give me the names of those who quit the CCP and its youth organizations. I turned on the computer and showed her Master’s new lecture. Chen returned the next day and said, “Yesterday, my mind was not calm. I want to reread Master’s new lecture.”
I quickly opened the computer, and Chen started reading Master’s words sentence by sentence. After she read it once, Chen said she wanted to reread it, so she read it again. I can only meet Chen once or twice during the New Year holiday each year, and I don’t know where she lives. She always finds me. We silently coordinate with each other to form a unit to spread the truth and save sentient beings. We jointly fulfill the mission of assisting Master in rectifying the Fa.
