(Minghui.org) I was helping my mom tend a large stove in countryside when I was six years old, adding firewood to it. Somehow a detonator hidden in the weeds exploded. My eyes were injured, and I went blind. At the age of 15, with the help of my father and my sister, I went to a primary school for the blind so that I would be able to support myself in the future. I later went to a technical school for the blind and learned massage techniques.
I worked in Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangdong Province, and Beijing. I’m currently working in a town in northern China.
Practicing Falun Gong
At the beginning of 1999, I took leave from Shenzhen to go back to my parents' home for the Chinese New Year. My eldest sister’s neighbor came to visit me. While we were chatting, I asked her if she was still dancing with others to keep fit.
She said, “I’m now practicing Falun Gong with other people.” As soon as I heard the words “Falun Gong,” I really wanted to learn it. She said being able to hear the name of Master Li Hongzhi is a blessing and a predestined connection. I encouraged my eldest sister to learn it too. She agreed right away. I was very happy, convinced, and eager to learn.
My eldest sister’s neighbor took my sister to the practice site that evening without me. I felt quite upset and almost shed tears, and was a bit angry at my eldest sister. I later understood that was the attachment of resentment, which I should cultivate away. My eldest sister didn’t finish elementary school and wasn’t well-educated. She taught me the standing exercises after coming back from the practice site and didn’t get the verses for the exercises right.
The leave ended quickly and I hurriedly went back to Shenzhen to work. I heard that there were people practicing Falun Gong there as well, including my coworker, a receptionist. We even shared a dormitory; what a coincidence! My coworker took me to a Fa study group in Shenzhen.
The coordinator said, “We welcome anyone!” and immediately arranged for someone to teach me the half-lotus leg posture. From then on, I went to the practice site every morning to practice the standing exercises.
A few months later, dictator Jiang ordered the crackdown on Falun Gong. My coworker’s books were confiscated, and we were not allowed to practice. I later worked in places like Zhuhai in Guangdong Province. I eventually left Guangdong Province in 2000, returning to my second eldest sister’s home, and I continued working.
Saving People
My eldest sister helped me get a set of 14 cassette tapes of Master Li’s lectures given in Jinan, and bought me a tape recorder in 2002. I could listen to and study the Fa again. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had already staged the Tiananmen self-immolation hoax to smear Falun Gong, but I didn’t believe what was said on TV, because Falun Gong teaches people to be good and even better people.
My second eldest sister’s friend, a retired elementary school principal, came to get a back massage one day. She said that the CCP had claimed that Falun Gong forbids people from taking medicine and many people had died. “Li Hongzhi has cured so many patients, how come they don’t mention that?!” she said. I was deeply impressed, thinking that this woman was such a knowledgeable person, aware that the CCP fabricates news, and she dares to speak the truth. My sister commented that the principal had accumulated great mighty virtue.
I began clarifying the truth to my clients, coworkers, and especially police officers who came for massages, telling them about the hidden character stone and the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from a third-person perspective. Some of them had never heard the facts about Falun Gong, so I told them that I believe Falun Gong is good and that others had told me to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” so I did and I haven’t fallen ill, not even with headaches or colds.
I later explained the facts about Falun Gong to my coworkers, friends, and my husband’s coworkers one after another, and helped them withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Although the number of people I helped was limited, I felt gratified that they were saved.
Miracles
I was living in the company dormitory when I was working in Beijing. I was meditating at around 2 a.m. one day when my roommate, Xiao Cai, suddenly shouted, “You have a Falun in your hands! I can see it!” I couldn’t see it, and I didn’t do the exercises very well, because some of my movements were not quite accurate. Yet Master was taking care of me, helping me, and showing me miracles, which I found incredibly amazing.
I took two months of leave and returned to my eldest sister’s home in the summer of 2002. I transcribed the book Zhuan Falun in Braille, with the help of my sister, nephew, neighbors, and my daughter. Master purified my body while I was transcribing the book; my feet swelled so much that the skin looked shiny, but I didn’t feel anything, no pain, no itching.
Another time I had severe toothache, so I calmed myself down and touched six pages of Zhuan Falun, and the pain immediately subsided. Another time, a hard ridge appeared under my right arm down to my waist. I ignored it and it healed in two days. For so many years, I have never needed to take a pill or get an injection.
My mother-in-law suffered a mild stroke. I told her to sincerely and respectfully recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and she recited the phrases every day. If she fell, she would shout “Falun Dafa is good” loudly, and nothing bad has happened to her. She has become stronger and can do all kinds of housework.
My father also firmly believes in the goodness of Falun Dafa and has withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He lives in our old house in the countryside, and my second eldest brother cooks for him every day. My father suffers from avascular necrosis of the femoral head and has to rely on crutches to move around.
One day, my brother cooked a meal for him and then left. However, he did not thoroughly extinguish the fire in the stove, and the embers ignited nearby weeds, branches, and leaves. The wind was quite strong that day and the room was filled with smoke. The curtain on the door and the electrical wires were also on fire.
My father was anxious and couldn’t get into the outer room. There were only two thermos of water in the inner room. Moving with his crutches, he used the water from those thermoses and put out the fire! How could such a large fire be extinguished with just two thermoses? It was inconceivable. My brother said, “The ‘Falun Dafa is good’ pendant hanging on our door really works!”
Truly Cultivating
I finally bought another laptop in 2016 after my old laptop was stolen. My classmate taught me how to use speech recognition language software to download and copy text. I was then able to listen to all of Master’s articles and also sharing articles on Minghui.org.
I dreamed several times that I was studying the Fa with other practitioners, and I longed to cultivate like a normal person with no disability. I had the chance to form a Fa study group with an older practitioner in May 2025 in the residential complex where I had just rented a place to live. She corrected my movements for the standing exercises and sitting meditation. When we study the Fa together, she reads the book aloud, and I use my hands to read in Braille.
I know that cultivation requires diligence. Besides studying the Fa with her, I also put more effort into memorizing the Fa. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to remember Master’s short articles, so I write them in Braille and memorize them whenever I have time. I can recite lecture one of Zhuan Falun, as well as Hong Yin, Hong Yin II, and Hong Yin III. I will continue to study and memorize the Fa even more diligently, letting the Fa into my heart. I will also strengthen sending forth righteous thoughts.
After reading 11 articles including “Stay Rational” that Master recently published, I felt even more strongly that I need to hurry up and truly cultivate, let go of all bad human attachments, including the attachment to personal gain, resentment, and jealousy, to save people within my capacity, to send more righteous thoughts, to study the Fa well, to cultivate myself well, and return home with Master.
