(Clearwisdom.net) I went to work for a so-called qigong master in my city in January 1998. One day, two people who looked like Taoists came to the qigong master's home. I later learned that they were actually Falun Gong practitioners. After dinner I arranged for them to live in a hostel nearby.

At the hostel, I saw a student of the qigong master holding a book I had never seen before. It was given to him by the Falun Gong practitioners. I took a look and saw it was Zhuan Falun written by Mr. Li Hongzhi. I had heard of Falun Gong before, but this was the first time I knew about Zhuan Falun. I held the book, asking the practitioner, "Is it Falun Gong that you mentioned before?" He said, "Yes." I then thumbed through a few pages and returned the book to him.

After we sat together talking about everyday things in our lives for a while, the qigong master's student left. When I was about to leave, the younger practitioner stopped me and said, "Please wait. I wish to tell you something." I sat back down. He asked, "Do you want to practice cultivation?" I answered at once, "Of course!" He said smilingly, "Truly?" I replied, "I truly want to practice cultivation!"

He then said, "I have a set of cultivation books here. I will give them to you. You will know how to truly practice cultivation after you read them." I thought to myself that everyone who promoted qigong wanted money. He seemed to know what I was thinking and said, "These books are for people with predestined relationships. We don't ask for money. It's free to learn." I then thought, "How did this fortunate thing come about?"

Then he showed me the Falun Gong books. When I was about to leave, he gave me the set of Dafa books (7 books in total) and refused to accept any money.

In this way, I obtained the Fa. We never saw each other again after they left the following day.

The following night I began reading the books by the light of a candle because there was no electricity in our village at that time. After I finished reading "Lunyu" for the first time, I was deeply moved by Master's words. Every night after I returned from work, I kept on studying the Fa until midnight. My thinking was broadened and a lot of confusion I had always had was eliminated by Master's Fa. I really felt that Zhuan Falun is a remarkable and precious book from heaven that guides us to truly practice cultivation. I also really felt that my life this time is only for Dafa.

Because I lived in a village, I knew little about events outside our village and just quietly practiced alone at home. Then in March 1999, when practitioners from Wuhan City came to my village to spread the Fa, a practice site and a Fa-study group were set up. We worked during the day and studied the Fa and did the exercises in the evening. There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer. They bit our bare skin when we did the exercises outside, but I never swatted them. After a while, the mosquitoes didn't bite me anymore.

I went to Beijing to validate Dafa in the middle of January 2001. At Tiananmen Square, a policeman came to me and demanded, "What do you think of Falun Dafa?" I answered, "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" Then I started to say loudly, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance will exist forever! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" I repeated these words several times. The policeman glowered at me and ordered, "Stop shouting. I will beat you to death if you continue to shout." He lifted his arm preparing to beat me. I didn't pay any attention to him at all and continued to shout. He held his hand up in the air but couldn't strike me. Although I was arrested and sent to the Hewan Forced Labor Camp until January 2005, when I was released I was able to fully resume my cultivation practice.

Throughout these years I know that compassionate Master has been taking care of me and my family at every moment. I want to say, "Master, thank you!"
