(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 30 years, and am now 89 years old. Before I began to practice, my health was very poor. I had atrophic gastritis, which made it difficult for me to eat. I had anxiety, which kept me from sleeping. I also had coronary heart disease, glaucoma, severe rhinitis, anemia, and depression. Neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine could cure my health issues. These health issues made my life painful and difficult; I lived a life of misery.
In August 1996, I was very fortunate to start practicing Falun Dafa. All my diseases were cured after less than a month of practicing. I could eat and sleep well, and my body felt light and healthy. Master didn’t ask me for a single penny to practice Dafa and cured my diseases without even seeing me.
Master does ask us to be good people by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, to be selfless and put others first, to consider how our actions will affect others, and to refrain from retaliating when hit or insulted. We are to become people of high moral character and conscience. This is the standard I hold myself to in my daily life.
My husband and I live alone, so as not to burden our children. I take care of all the housework, including grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. I also take care of my husband. When conflicts arise at home, I look for the reasons within myself, without arguing or getting angry, but with forbearance, always striving to be a good person.
During the 30 years I have practiced Dafa, I have always been in good health and never taken any medicine. Many people tested positive during COVID, but I did not. My good health has saved the country so much money in medical expenses! And my children don’t need to worry about me! This is a miracle of Falun Dafa.
My husband has witnessed the tremendous changes in me since practicing Falun Dafa, and he fully agrees that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He knows the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), that all its propaganda was lies to deceive people, and that all its political movements persecuted good people. He often says, “This society is finished—beyond saving. It all depends on you Falun Dafa practitioners.” He goes out for a walk every day to get some sun, and as he walks, he recites, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” At that time, he also uses DynaWeb on his phone to read information from trusted sources.
I was arrested by the police ten years ago when distributing truth-clarification materials, and put in a detention center for one month. During that time, my husband traveled back and forth to the detention center many times to visit me and to ask the police to release me. He told the police about the changes in me since practicing Falun Dafa and what a good person I have become. The weather was very hot then, but my husband persevered. A month later, I got out of the detention center with righteous thoughts.
After I returned home, more than a dozen people from the neighborhood committee, the local police station, and other departments arranged a meeting with me. My husband said to me, “Don’t go, I’ll meet with them.” He went to the meeting alone and said, “I didn’t let my wife come. I’ll tell you what I have witnessed about Falun Dafa.” He told them that I used to suffer from several severe diseases; I couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep, and I was weak and listless all day. That I was hospitalized every few days, and received medications and treatment, yet nothing helped me to get better. Thus, I couldn’t do much.
He continued, “However, it’s been 20 years since she started practicing Falun Dafa. All her diseases were cured, and she can eat and sleep like a normal person. She hasn’t taken a pill, had an injection, or been to a hospital once. This is what I’ve seen with my own eyes. Who among you hasn’t taken any medicine or had an injection for 20 years? Falun Dafa has done this, saving the country so much in medical expenses! If they save 10,000 yuan every year, that’s 200,000 yuan saved over 20 years. Can you do that?”
My husband added, “My wife’s temper also improved a lot. She doesn’t get mad at me or criticize me; she ‘looks inward.’ She looks for the cause within herself when encountering conflicts. My wife does all the housework and prepares good food for me; she does everything. She often advises me, ‘Wherever we are, let’s try to be good, and don’t badmouth or take advantage of others.’ So what’s wrong with Falun Dafa? I witnessed these changes in her with my own eyes, so how can you say that Falun Dafa is bad?”
After my husband finished speaking, everyone said, “Wow, Falun Dafa is so good!” A young policeman said, “Falun Dafa is so good! I’ll date a Falun Dafa practitioner in the future.” Everyone laughed; the atmosphere was very relaxed, and they were very polite to my husband, saying, “You’re so old, you don’t need to come here anymore. Just let me know if you need any help.” After that, the community and the police never contacted me again.
A few years later, I was reported by a police auxiliary officer when I was clarifying the truth. I was illegally detained in the police station overnight, but returned home the next day with righteous thoughts. I later discovered that whenever the CCP held meetings or on so-called sensitive days, police would wait in the lobby on the first floor to monitor and follow me. They were sent by the neighborhood committee, who still did not understand the truth, so I knew I had to go and help them learn the truth.
I strengthened my righteous thoughts and went to clarify the truth about Dafa to the secretary of the neighborhood committee. However, only the deputy secretary was available, so I told him the truth about Falun Dafa. I also went to the police station to clarify the truth to the local police officer. After some time, I saw that there was still someone in the lobby to monitor me. So I knew the problem hadn’t been resolved. As I proceeded to talk to them, I continued to get the runaround.
Later on, my husband ran into the secretary of the neighborhood committee on the street. He questioned the secretary about monitoring and following a 90-year-old lady. My husband said it deprives her of personal freedom and gives a bad impression to the neighbors in the building. My husband said the secretary must be trying to get promoted and make a fortune by doing so. The secretary agreed to stop monitoring me. Since then, I have not been monitored or followed.
My husband protects Dafa practitioners and speaks up for Falun Dafa, paving the way for a bright future for himself and receiving Master’s blessing. Since last year, he has fallen three times but emerged unharmed each time.
The first time he fell, he had just stepped out of our building entrance and was walking down the steps. He tripped and fell forward. His glasses were thrown quite a distance, and his left eye hit the ground first. However, the skin was only slightly scraped; there was only a little bleeding and some bruising. A hospital check-up confirmed there was no serious injury, and the bruise disappeared after a few days.
The second time my husband fell was when he went hiking. He tripped and fell hard, but he was fine. The third time, he fell down while trying to step over the fence in the garden. But again, he was fine. He is nearly 90 years old, and just one such fall would be very serious, let alone falling three times. My husband’s friend, who is three years younger, fell and injured his thigh last year. He still can’t walk after hospital treatment and is still in a rehabilitation hospital.
Early this year, my husband was diagnosed with a rectal polyp and required surgery. He believes in Falun Dafa and constantly recites the phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I recited them for him as well. His surgery went very smoothly and was a complete success. The doctors remarked, “For someone his age, he is in excellent physical condition, and the surgery was very successful.”
My husband is now in good health and high spirits. He knows he is blessed by Dafa and was protected by Master.
I am very grateful for Master’s compassionate protection!
