(Minghui.org) Chinese people are indoctrinated with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ideology from childhood. When I was in elementary school, I read about the so-called Tiananmen Self-Immolation Incident in a textbook, and I had many questions. I felt something wasn’t right about the story.
I met a boy named Chuan in my second year of middle school who became my best friend. While we hung out together one day, he said, “I practice Falun Dafa.” My heart sank. I thought, “It was so hard to find a good friend. Too bad he’s a Dafa practitioner.” Despite our different views about Dafa, we were close friends and we trusted each other. Whenever he could, he clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to me. In my third year of middle school, I learned that the Tiananmen Self-Immolation was a lie the CCP fabricated and I withdrew from the Communist Youth League.
My grades were not good, so after middle school, I attended a vocational secondary school for two years and then I started working. When Chuan was in his sophomore year of college, he called me and said he had something important to tell me. From his voice on the phone I could tell that he was extremely happy, which made me curious. He took the train to Beijing, where I worked. When we met, he excitedly said, “I finally understand it. We are not ordinary people,” and he talked about various things related to Dafa. I already knew Dafa was good and I respected his faith. During his college years, he visited me many times. I had weekends off. I had no hobbies, so I looked forward to his visits.
He worked in our home county in 2021, and I bought a car, which made it easier for me to return home. I drove from Beijing to his home. His parents also practiced Falun Dafa and they were home at the time. He gave me a copy of the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. After I read it, I felt as though my mind opened, and I clearly saw the CCP’s evil nature. Whenever I chatted with my coworkers or clients, I indirectly told them that the Tiananmen Self-Immolation was fake. I did not practice Falun Dafa, and I hadn’t read any Dafa books at that time, but out of a sense of justice, I spoke about the CCP’s crimes whenever I had the opportunity.
At the end of 2022, my girlfriend and I decided to return to my hometown to start a business. I often told her about my friend, Chuan. He frequently brought Dafa books to our home for me to read. I found myself agreeing with certain parts of Zhuan Falun, although I still had many questions and I didn’t understand some things. I asked Chuan various questions. He carefully answered all of them. I did not accept everything he said, and I still had some doubts.
I had a conflict with my business partner in August 2023 and felt I had been taken advantage of. I couldn’t get over it. When I mentioned this, my girlfriend said, “I think what the [Dafa] book says makes a lot of sense. If he takes advantage of us, he will give us virtue.” I was quite surprised; I hadn’t expected that she would absorb Dafa’s teachings. I knew Dafa teaches people to be good and righteous. So when I heard her say this, I was very happy.
I Begin Practicing Falun Dafa
Our business venture failed in 2023. At the beginning of 2024, my girlfriend and I returned to Beijing to work. I was in a bad mood and felt that nothing in the world lasts forever. My girlfriend and I decided to read Dafa books. After I told Chuan, he came to Beijing the next day with some books and information related to Falun Dafa. He often came to Beijing to study the Fa with us. Whenever my girlfriend or I had questions, we wrote them down and waited for him to come so we could ask him in person.
I had a lot of trouble finding a good job, and I changed jobs eight or nine times. My girlfriend also couldn’t find a job. In April, she decided to ask Master Li to help, and she soon received a WeChat message from an HR with an employment offer. We both felt this was truly miraculous.
In November 2024, I read Master’s lectures given in various cities. I couldn’t help but shed tears as I read. I felt that every sentence was a heavenly secret. It seemed that all my previous questions were answered. I excitedly called Chuan, and he happily said, “Let’s discuss it when we meet in person.”
I returned to my hometown twice and I learned to send forth righteous thoughts and do the five exercises. I had some amazing experiences. I often had vivid dreams, and many of my girlfriend’s wishes came true. We told our relatives and friends about Falun Dafa and the persecution. During Chinese New Year in 2025, I spoke with everyone I knew. One friend, after reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and withdrawing from the Communist Youth League, said he saw a bright light before his eyes, and his headache disappeared. He felt it was miraculous and gratefully shook my hand. I was also surprised—it was the first time I’d heard of something so extraordinary happening.
I meditated with Chuan in March 2025. About 45 minutes into it, my legs were in intense pain, and I felt I could no longer endure it. But just then, I felt energy rapidly rotating between my hands. I tried to focus on the sensation, which gradually weakened and disappeared. When I again felt that I could not endure the pain in my legs, a current slowly traveled from my left arm to the center of my palms. This happened five or six times. After the hour ended, I told Chuan what I experienced, and he said Master was encouraging me.
When I did the exercises in April and May, I felt the energy in my body becoming increasingly pronounced. After the previous miraculous experience, similar phenomena occurred many times. I sometimes felt a current flowing across my face and head. This inspired me to respect Dafa and I felt grateful to Master.
Since our business had failed, we have few savings left. Over the past two years, I relied on my girlfriend. I frequently looked for and changed jobs. Every time I searched for work, she said, “Don’t worry. Take your time.” I feel that her xinxing is very high. Even though she works long hours and comes home late, she still studies the Fa. I am truly grateful for her encouragement and help, and I’m able to practice the exercises and study the Fa every day.
After we began studying the Fa and doing the exercises, we understood that Master purified our bodies, and we no longer have illnesses. My girlfriend used to experience severe pain during her period and she took pills for relief. At the end of 2024, when her period came, she remembered she was a practitioner and should follow Master’s teachings instead of handling it like an ordinary person. So, this time she didn’t take any medicine. The pain gradually lessened. She felt it was miraculous and said it was the first time in many years that her period wasn’t painful. We witnessed the power and greatness of Dafa.
My girlfriend was standing near a window one day, and suddenly said, “Come quickly. This looks like a flower.” I thought it was an Udumbara flower, so I checked online for images. It really was an Udumbara flower! We were extremely happy. A few minutes later, she found a second one, and it was even more beautiful. We felt Master was encouraging us.
I only recently began practicing Falun Dafa, and I’ve had many miraculous and amazing experiences. I am even more grateful to Master and I have even more respect for Dafa. I am also grateful to Chuan for persisting in telling me about Dafa. My girlfriend and I will study the Fa well, continually improve our xinxing, and fulfill our mission of helping Master save people.
