(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998 and I’m now 79 years old. My husband and I worked in the same factory, which was near a large military factory. My husband was friends with one of the employees.
His friend practiced Falun Dafa and my husband went to his place twice and learned the exercises. More than 100 people did the exercises there.
When I said, “I want to learn the exercises.” My husband said, “Wait until I learn them and then I’ll teach you.”
When I insisted on going, we argued. I said, “Our children are grown now and there isn’t much housework. Why can’t I go?” The neighbors heard us arguing and they came to find out what happened. I explained and my husband was silent.
I went to his friend’s house and he lent me a copy of Falun Dafa’s main book, Zhuan Falun, and taught me the exercise movements. When I received thebook, my heart pounded with joy and I couldn’t wait to read it. It felt as though I had been waiting for this, for many lifetimes.
My health was very bad before I began practicing. I had difficulty eating and I became thin. I also suffered from stomachaches, dizziness, headaches, schistosomiasis and severe rheumatism. My joints ached when the weather changed. My illnesses disappeared soon after I began practicing the exercises. I felt light and energetic and I was happy.
Whenever I did feel some discomfort I was fine after I studied the Fa. When I couldn’t get out of bed due to serious cold symptoms I listened to the recordings of Master’s lectures and I was fine.
When my husband and I occasionally argued I asked myself if I was a practitioner. Would a cultivator quarrel with others? I felt this showed I did not study the Fa well. When my mindset changed so did my husband’s behavior and we immediately reconciled. My husband is 89 years old this year. He has a healthy mind, and body, and he is still cultivating.
For years, I’ve gone out to clarify the truth about the persecution and distribute information about Falun Dafa.
Whenever I’ve experienced some interference such as a headache, I always say, “This is interference. I’m not sick. I’m doing the most righteous thing in assisting Master in the Fa- rectification.” Afterwards I’m fine.
One night, another practitioner Amie and I went to the residential area near a chemical plant to distribute truth-clarification materials. We were almost finished with one apartment building when a person blocked the staircase and we were taken to the local police station. The following morning we were taken to the detention center in the neighboring county.
When people at the detention center asked, “Why are you here?” I told them how my illnesses were resolved after I began practicing. Back then, detainees were permitted to leave their cells for activities so I could interact with many people.
A practitioner who had just been brought to the detention center, shouted loudly, “Falun Dafa is good!” Before he left the guard instructed a young inmate to hit her. I asked the detainee, “He’s already left. Why are you still beating her? We are cultivators and we strive to be good people. We haven’t committed any crimes! Hitting people who practice Dafa is bad for you. If you stop going along with the persecution and secretly protect practitioners Heaven will bless you.”
He replied, “I’ll stop beating practitioners. I did not understand how bad it was to do this.” I clarified the truth to him and asked him to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. He quit the Young Pioneers and the Youth League.
Another young man was a street thug, and a petty thief. I said, “I want to tell you something good.” When he asked, “What?”
I replied, “Falun Dafa is good, and not how the CCP depicts it in the media. Many young people practice. The CCP broadcasts propaganda to deceive people and incite hatred. Please remember ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and stop doing bad deeds.”
He said, “Falun Dafa is so good. I’d like to practice after I’m released.” He quit the Young Pioneers and the Youth League. I was released three days later.
Another practitioner and I went to the suburbs to post truth-clarifying stickers and we went to a farmer’s house. We just finished pasting the character “blessing” and the phrase “Falun Dafa is good” when the owner came downstairs.
She was elated and told us, “These are so beautiful. Pasting them on our house will bring us luck.”
We greeted her and she invited us in for tea. We explained the importance of quitting the CCP, and she quit the Young Pioneers and the Youth League.
She told us, “Falun Dafa is good! The character ‘blessing’ that you just posted is glittering right now!”
Seeing someone with such excellent spiritual roots, tears welled up in my eyes. If the CCP hadn’t begun the persecution so many people would be practicing!
Thank you, Master, for your protection and benevolent salvation over the past more than 20 years! My family is supportive of our practicing Falun Dafa and they have been rewarded.
All of my children’s families are successful and they are all in good health. Both my daughter and son-in-law have pensions and my son-in-law owns a factory. My daughter is a technical specialist in horticulture and she is frequently hired to provide technical guidance, which is a great career.
My grand children are outstanding too. One grandson was scouted by a media company in the capital of another province, while he was attending vocational school. In just six months he’s already become a key technical specialist. As his skills are exceptional and he is very diligent, he is paid well. He read Zhuan Falun and memorized Hong Yin when he was young. My granddaughter graduated from a university in southern China, and was admitted to her dream university in the UK.
As Fa-rectification is about to end I doubly cherish the time Master has extended for us. I study the Fa more, help Master save more people, do well the three things, keep up with the Fa-rectification, and follow Master home.
