(Minghui.org) I was born in the south-central region of China in the 1960s. My family was so poor when I was a child that we often went hungry and did not even have one yuan to pay the tuition fee when I was ready to begin elementary school. My mother told me that she did not have enough to eat while she was pregnant with me.
Before I eventually started school, my family sent me to live with my grandparents because my father had been very sick for several years. My grandmother passed away early and my disabled grandfather had a very bad temper.
In the late 1980s, I was admitted to a provincial medical school to pursue a specialized medical program. At the time, qigong had become popular around the country, and I tried practicing several forms. In 1998, when I was 30 years old, I was fortunate enough to read the book Zhuan Falun and realized Falun Dafa was what I had been waiting for, lifetime after lifetime. It was incredibly precious!
I’ve been illegally detained 10 times since the persecution began. I was also forced out of my original job and now work in the hospital’s logistics department. My job is to prepare and deliver meals for the medical staff and patients.
One evening, a woman came down from the hospital’s staff housing building and asked me if I had seen a lid from a soybean blender, because hers had just fallen off the balcony. I looked around and spotted a round plastic lid. She was very happy to have her lid back. I understood this was an opportunity Master Li arranged for me to tell her about the beauty of Dafa. She gladly quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I also asked her to remember to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Working in a hospital, I meet a lot of people. Some of them had practiced or knew about Dafa, and some were relatives of fellow practitioners who passed away. Some understood the truth about the persecution, while others held a negative opinion of Dafa. I’ve done my best to help them break down the barriers in their heart and be saved.
An employee once asked us to deliver meals to her mother-in-law who had just been discharged from the hospital. There are six floors in the staff dormitory and no elevator. Her mother-in-law was on the fourth floor. We usually only deliver meals to inpatients and healthcare workers on duty, since there are elevators in the hospital. We told her we didn’t deliver meals for staff family members because we were short-handed. I was the only one delivering meals. However, our manager is very kind and decided to make an exception but did not guarantee on-time delivery.
When I delivered food to this elderly lady, I told her about the goodness of Dafa. She was pleased and told me that a fellow practitioner gave her husband a copy of Zhuan Falun when he was sick. However, he decided not to practice. She agreed to quit the CCP and remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” As a result, she recovered quickly, and she is now able to walk downstairs.
Last April, a few of us drove 30 kilometers (over 18 miles) to visit a hospitalized coworker. About halfway there, we ran into a fierce gale accompanied by driving rain. I asked my coworkers to silently recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The wind and rain had almost stopped by the time we arrived.
On the way back, we dropped off our coworkers at their homes. The manager who drove had a record of drunk driving, and he was driving carelessly. He stopped at an intersection without his emergency lights on and opened the door for someone to get out. A young man delivering fast food crashed into the open car door, then bounced off, and he and his motorcycle fell heavily on the ground.
I got out of the car and asked this young man if he was okay. He got up slowly, then called his brother and sisters. They arrived and took some photos with their cell phones and agreed to go to the hospital first before deciding if a police report was needed. A CT scan indicated only superficial abrasions and no serious injuries.
The man did not wish to be hospitalized, so the two parties discussed the matter of compensation. I thought that, as a Dafa practitioner, I would bear some responsibility for the accident. In the end, the man demanded 5,000 yuan in compensation and threatened to call the police otherwise.
I went back to the dorm, scraped up 5,000 yuan, and gave it to him. After the manager left, the family insisted that I pay for a tetanus shot and bandaging. I gave them another several hundred yuan. In total, I gave them about a month’s salary. By the time the matter was settled, it was midnight. I returned to the dorm just in time to send righteous thoughts.
At the end of July, a friend called to borrow 3000 yuan, as his father was hospitalized in the hematology department of the city hospital and urgently needed money for a blood transfusion. He promised to pay me back the following Wednesday. I realized his father’s medical expenses were a concern, but this man was also a heavy drinker.
When his father was previously hospitalized where I work, I told him about Dafa, and he agreed with everything I said. So now he was in need, and I didn’t want to refuse the family. I gave his son 3000 yuan and didn’t ask him to write an IOU. He failed to repay the money on time. Then two weeks later, when I urgently needed the funds, he claimed he had only borrowed 2000 yuan from me. He ended up returning only 1500 yuan. I did not complain and told him that by understanding the truth about Dafa, one can avoid calamities and remain safe.
The 610 Office monitored me through the hospital’s head of logistics. The police also harassed us at home.
I once gave a USB stick drive with information about Dafa to a doctor. He turned it over to the head of the logistics section, who looked at what was on the USB and claimed that Falun Dafa was badmouthing the CCP. When officials from the Political and Legal Affairs Committee, the police station, and the Domestic Security Division visited the hospital, the head of logistics mentioned the USB stick, but nobody was interested, and the matter just fizzled out.
I took every opportunity to clarify the truth to the head of logistics. When he was hospitalized for surgery to remove a stomach tumor, we had an in-depth discussion. He’s very smart and has a good memory. When I presented some cases where the police in our area met with karmic retribution for persecuting practitioners, I found he actually knew more about these cases than I did.
I told him that “good is rewarded and evil is punished” and that quitting the CCP can ensure one’s safety. This time, he willingly agreed to quit. He also accepted an amulet. Since then, I have not heard him badmouth Dafa, and I enjoy a more relaxed work environment.
The 610 Office told the police station to check on the monitored practitioners regularly, but they were reluctant to do that. Each time they came, I faced them with righteous thoughts and told them the truth about Dafa from different perspectives. I also reminded them that “good is rewarded and evil is punished.” Fewer and fewer police officers came by.
One police officer was transferred here from my hometown last year. He already knew some facts about Dafa before he arrived, so every time he came, he asked about things that confused him. This year, he told me that there had been three fires in his home but, fortunately, they were discovered in time.
I told him, “Well, as the saying goes, ‛Things shouldn’t happen more than three times.’ I hope you will quit the CCP organizations you joined to stay safe.” He agreed after pondering it for a moment. This year when he discovered truth-clarification materials had been distributed in a nearby community, he called me to ask if I knew about it. I replied, “Those are for saving people. You know what to do.” In the end, no action was taken.
A retired police officer, who was once a doctor, transferred to the police department as a forensic specialist. He also served as the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team. He was involved in my arrest and interrogation. He later opened a Forensic Investigation Institute at the hospital.
Since we spent a lot of time together, I had the opportunity to talk to him about Dafa in detail. I gave him a leaflet titled “Cultivation Is Legal, Persecution Is a Crime.” I also told him about some of his former colleagues who suffered retribution for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. In the end, he agreed to quit the CCP and chose a bright future for himself.
Last July, when my mother suddenly passed away, I was touched when I received a 200-yuan condolence gift from him. He also called to thank me for putting aside past grievances and wishing him good health and happiness. This was something I didn’t expect.
The Fa-rectification process is advancing rapidly, and there is not much time left for people to learn the truth about Dafa and make the right choice for their future. The percentage of people who understand the truth is still not high. Especially in our area, many of my relatives and friends haven’t quit the CCP yet. I, myself, still haven’t let go of many attachments and am not doing my best with the three things. I will strive to repay Master’s salvation by being more diligent.
