(Minghui.org) I had a serious illness before I began practicing Falun Dafa. My family encourages me to practice after seeing my positive physical and mental changes.
Last December, my daughter drove my wife to town to get a haircut. It was almost Chinese New Year and many people were waiting at a barbershop. My wife and daughter also sat down and waited. A man sitting next to my wife started chatting with her and asked where they were from. My wife told him which village she came from.
The man said, “Do you know there’s a man in his fifties in your village who practices Falun Gong and rides a bicycle everywhere? I don’t know if he has a wife or family.”
My daughter smiled and said, “We all know the person you’re talking about. He’s not in his 50s. He’s 73 years old. This is the man’s wife and I’m his daughter.”
The man was a little embarrassed but was curious. He asked my wife, “Your husband runs around all day and doesn’t work. How does he support the family?”
My wife told him I had a job and used my free time to clarify the truth about the persecution and that I was also very good at my job.
Seeing the man was listening closely, my wife continued, “Four elderly people in their 70s worked together, and my husband was one of them. The factory implemented a policy that no more employees over 70 could be hired, but the factory manager kept my husband and dismissed the other three. They were unhappy and argued with the manager. The manager said my husband was a good worker and was in good health, and that he was willing to keep such a person. The manager also told my husband that he could work at the factory as long as he wanted.”
Seeing that the man listened attentively, my wife told him another story about me. “He was knocked down by a tricycle when he was leaving my cousin’s house last fall. My cousin and his family rushed over to see how serious the injury was. My husband got up from the ground and told the driver: ‘I’m fine, you can go.’”
My cousin and his family wanted my husband to get a check-up at a hospital. My husband said, “Our Master said that when encountering problems, we should consider others first. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on him. I ride my bike pretty fast, so let him go.” The tricycle driver immediately drove away.
“My husband’s feet hurt. He stopped the bike and saw that his feet were swollen. He insisted on riding all the way home. His feet were swollen and painful, and he couldn’t get out of bed for several days.”
The man said, “Why did you let him (the tricycle driver) go? You should call the police.”
My wife realized that more than twelve people in the room were listening attentively. She said, “Falun Dafa practitioners wouldn’t do anything to hurt others. My husband practiced the exercises and his foot healed in less than a month. People say that a bone fracture will take 100 days to heal. Isn’t this a miracle?”
My wife also told them that a policeman came to my house to check on me a few days after the accident. When he heard the entire process of the injury, the policeman urged me to go to a hospital. I told him I was getting better already and I didn’t need to go to. The policeman didn’t insist and left after saying a few words of concern. “In fact, the police also admired Falun Dafa,” my wife said.
While my wife was telling the story, she looked at the people in the room from time to time and saw that everyone was listening seriously and admired Falun Dafa.
After they returned home, my wife told me, “I wasn’t afraid at all today. I know everything you’ve done. I was telling the truth and I spoke openly and sincerely.”
