(Minghui.org) Ever since my childhood I have been a timid person. After I began my cultivation journey in Falun Dafa, I understood that the mission of a Dafa disciple is to assist Master in the Fa-rectification. With Master strengthening me, I have continuously broken through my fear of clarifying the truth, and helping save sentient beings.
I have elderly in-laws as well as a son and daughter-in-law. As they have been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies and subjected to frequent harassing phone calls from 610 Office personnel, my family members, under immense pressure, have tried to stop me from sharing the truth about Dafa. My husband would often fly into a rage and verbally abuse me. Once, when he discovered the truth-clarification materials I had, he punched and kicked me.
Knowing that I shared a profound predestined relationship with my family, I resolved to treat them with kindness—they are also sentient beings meant to be saved. For years, I took on all the housework, contributed selflessly to the family finances, and showed filial piety to my in-laws. Sensing my kindness, my family members ceased their strong opposition to Dafa. I also overcame my fear and shared the truth with them. Eventually, all my family members chose to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations—including even my husband, who had been stubborn. He had frequently bypassed internet blockades to access Dafa websites.
After I shared the truth about Dafa with a student in 2014, his father angrily confronted me. My husband berated me furiously for a full day and night, and the pressure from my family increased. My husband drank heavily every day, and he often verbally abused me, saying, “Because you practice Falun Gong, the whole family lives in fear. We are constantly being harassed by my workplace and the police. You can practice at home, but don’t talk to others about it.”
After my grandson was born, my family forbade me from teaching him the practice. However, I quietly taught him to chant the phrases “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I sometimes placed earphones on him so he could listen to Master’s lectures. When he turned three and started speaking, I worried that he might mention Dafa in front of the family.
Then, one day, he told his mother, “Dafa is good.”
My daughter-in-law confronted me, “Mom, you are not allowed to talk to the child about Dafa. If you mention it to him again, I won’t let him come here anymore. What if he mentions it at kindergarten? He could get arrested.” I replied, “It will be fine.”
I realized that my situation stemmed from my own fear. The root of this fear was selfishness. I resolved to eliminate my selfishness and treat those around me with greater kindness. I reflected that while Master seeks to save sentient beings, and the old forces seek to destroy them, my role is to fulfill Master’s wishes. My grandson had certainly come to obtain the Fa, and no force could stand in the way of that. I stopped fretting over whether my grandson might speak about Dafa in front of other family members. Instead, I told him the truth about Dafa, had him listen to Master’s lectures, and played the Minghui Radio program for him.
My grandson is now six years old. I had him watch the movie “Becoming God Again.” When he saw how steadfast the character Song Guangming was, he gave a thumbs-up and told me, “I want to be like him.” I asked him, "Are the CCP and China the same thing?” He replied, “No. I love China, but I don’t love the CCP. It is a red, evil dragon.”
My grandson just started first grade this year. One day, the teacher assigned a task to choose one of four images to record a video for posting. The images included Tiananmen, the Five-Star Red Flag, the Yangtze River, and the Yellow River. He said, “I’ll talk about Tiananmen.” I looked at him, and he understood immediately. He said, “I won’t talk about Tiananmen. That ‘Demon Mao’ is up there. I’ll choose the Yellow River.”
Once I focused entirely on the salvation of sentient beings, I no longer felt any fear. One day, my grandson repeatedly said in front of his mother, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She said nothing. She actually came to hold Master in even greater reverence.
My son also changed. Once, when he came home, he gave me some informational materials, “Someone gave this to me. I know Dafa is good, so I kept it and brought it back for you.” I asked him to write a “Solemn Declaration.” I drafted one for him to read and told him, “A Solemn Declaration is published online using one’s real name. If you want to make the declaration, sign your name. If you don’t want to, no one can force you.” He signed his name and said, “I know the CCP is bad.”
After the student’s father angrily berated me in 2014, fear gripped me once again. When students came, I felt apprehensive about sharing the truth with them. I generally sought chances to speak to the parents first before sharing the facts with the children.
A student from the High School Affiliated to Peking University came in the summer of 2023. His family lived near Tiananmen Square. His father’s job involved dealing with provincial-level officials. I knew he was here to hear the truth. I copied truth-clarification materials onto a USB flash drive and spoke to the father about the persecution. He agreed to withdraw from the CCP. I asked if I could share the truth with his son. He replied, “The child can’t keep a secret, so let’s hold off on that for now.” I asked him to tell the child himself, and he agreed.
A mother from Jinan called in the summer of 2023, asking me to tutor her son. I felt that she must be a predestined person arranged by Master. She arrived on a sweltering afternoon, and I learned that her husband worked at the Jinan Public Security Bureau. This sparked a sense of fear in me. I asked Master for strength and sent forth righteous thoughts. I told her the truth about Dafa, helped her withdraw from the CCP, and gave her two booklets containing information about the practice. She was very receptive and agreed to share the truth with her family.
That same summer, a mother who worked at the town government office approached me and said her son needed tutoring in mathematics. After two months of weekend tutoring, the boy scored 96 on the math exam—up from his previous marks of 70 to 80. I believe such success was due to his understanding of the truth about Dafa, withdrawing from the Young Pioneers and the Youth League, and thus receiving a blessing.
I also overcame my fear and shared the truth with two other students I tutored. Both students withdrew from the Young Pioneers and the Youth League. One of them achieved an almost perfect score on the math exam and was admitted to the “Strong Foundation Class” at the best local high school. The other student had previously ranked outside the top 35 in a class of fewer than 50 students, struggling to keep up with the math lessons and scoring only in the 60 to 70 range. After learning the truth, he had a breakthrough and rose to the top 10 in the class for mathematics.
In this final stage of the Fa-rectification, I will strive to let go of any remaining selfishness and fear, cultivate myself earnestly, and always keep the salvation of sentient beings in mind.
