(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, and I’m 68 years old. After the persecution began in 1999, I left home to avoid being arrested. I returned home three years later and someone reported me to the police. They came to my house and put me in a forced labor camp, where I was tortured for three years.
Clarify the Truth to the Neighbor Who Reported Me
After I stayed away from home for three years, I decided to go back. While I was on the bus the village head’s wife saw me. The next day the village head ordered my neighbor’s son to monitor me.
While I was gone my husband’s health deteriorated because the police constantly harassed and threatened him, and demanded to know my whereabouts. He passed away as a result of the pressure. Several practitioners came to visit me the day after he died. That afternoon three police vehicles arrived at my house and the police arrested all of us. Eighteen days later I was illegally sentenced to three years and transferred to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.
I was released three years later. By this time the roof of my house blew away and the house began to deteriorate. I had no family, but I had Master and the Fa so I wasn’t afraid. Local practitioners helped me restore the house, and I hosted Fa study sessions.
I then learned that it was my neighbor’s son who reported me to the police three years before. That year his family’s corn crops were swept away in a wind storm, and all of their melon seedlings died. When his mother apologized to me for what her son did, I told her I had no resentment against them because they were lied to by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She said, “You used to help us a lot. You lent us money when we were short, and helped us bring in the harvest. We made a terrible mistake, and won’t do such a thing again. Can we put what happened behind us?”
However, some days I couldn’t help but resent my neighbors for what they did to me. I quickly sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil thought. I was determined to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and treat my neighbors with kindness. When they didn’t have enough space for their cows, I let them use my land. I also shared my storage space with them. They told me, “Falun Dafa practitioners are truly marvelous.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone in my neighbor’s family became infected. Her daughter-in-law was hospitalized, and they were frightened. I decided to further clarify the truth and tell her family to recite the auspicious phrase “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” so they could stay safe. They all agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and recited the auspicious phrase out loud.
Two days later I visited them, and was told the daughter-in-law recovered. They kept thanking me, and I told them to thank Master and Falun Dafa.
Store Owner Quits the CCP
When I went into a shop I asked the owner if she knew why millions of Chinese already quit the CCP. She hushed me and said, “How dare you? Did you know that someone was arrested for talking about it, and the authorities harassed her husband, which resulted in his death? I am not sure how she’ll feel when she returns home.” I smiled and said, “I am her.”
She told me that she couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw that I looked young, high-spirited and had a nice rosy complexion. I told her to quit the CCP so that she would not be part of the crimes it committed in its history, and would stay safe if she chose to side with Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I also told her about the fabricated self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square in 2001 that was used to defame Falun Dafa practitioners. She said, “I’ll quit with my real name.”
The next time I went to her store she told me, “Thank you. After quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations, my business increased. Everyday I have many customers. I definitely want to learn Falun Dafa in the future.”
Niece’s Protruding Spinal Disc Gone
My niece couldn’t work because she had spinal disc protrusion, nor could she sleep. I told her how I recovered from my illnesses after practicing Falun Dafa, and suggested that she sincerely recite the auspicious phrases. The next morning she told me that she slept well, and she decided to recite the auspicious phrases every day. Shortly after, her spinal problem was gone. She and her husband started a business, and clarified the truth of Falun Dafa to their customers. Their business grew quickly.
