(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1998. Before that, I was very ill; I had two tumors in my abdomen, gallstones, and a weak heart. The doctor advised me to undergo a costly operation. My husband was the sole breadwinner and we had three school-age children. I became emaciated and was exhausted from dealing with my ailments.
My sister who lived on the same floor as we suggested, “Learn Dafa! Tonight we are showing videos of Master’s lectures at the kindergarten building. Why don’t you join us?”
That night, I went to the kindergarten. The practitioners taught me the meditation exercise and then started to play videos of Master’s lectures. I thought to myself, “Master is not an ordinary person!” I felt much better and was able to get a good night’s sleep.
After watching all nine lectures, I was full of energy. I would go to the park and join the practitioners in group exercises every morning and then join them for group Fa study in the evening. I would also go with other practitioners to surrounding areas to let people know about the wonderfulness of Dafa. I was like a lost child who had found her parents.
After my first year of cultivation, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Dafa. With such a wonderful Master and such a wonderful Dafa, how could the authorities not allow us to practice? I felt frustrated and unhappy. My husband said, “You just practice at home. No one will interfere with you.” But I could not bear to see Master being slandered and Dafa being persecuted. When fellow practitioners bought computers and made truth-clarifying materials, I would go out to distribute them.
There was one time I gathered truth-clarification materials and was getting ready to go out. My husband stood in my way and shouted, “Do you still want this home?” I said, “I want this home, yet I also want to save people.” He saw that I was so steadfast and let me pass.
When my husband was working in another precinct, the regime officials called and asked him to come home. When my husband returned, I wanted him to go tell them the facts about Falun Gong. But he did not say anything. The next morning, a few plainclothes officers came by and asked me to go with them. They tried to “transform” me. With the wisdom given to me by Master, I was able to refute them. They were speechless and slammed the table. The interrogation went on until midnight.
The chief political head also looked me up. I told him the facts about Falun Gong, and he realized that he was unable to persuade me. Then he asked my eldest daughter to tell me her opinion about Falun Dafa practice. My daughter replied, “It is very good. In the past Mom was ill and took medication every day. Now she is healthy. I do not object.” The chief was angry and said, “Your mom is like this and you are worse.” From then on, he did not look me up again.
When my husband went to another precinct to work, he would take some truth-clarifying materials with him. He would place articles under the glass of table tops, so whoever sat down would read it.
When they started construction on the Qingzhang railway tracks, my husband told me that if his heart disease got better, he would join the project. I thought to myself that this should be decided by Master. After a checkup, he was really better. Later, he led a team to the construction site and took a banner that had words that clarified the truth about Dafa and hung it along the roadside.
Outside I once heard someone shout, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I asked him who he was. He said he was the commander of the commando branch, and when his chauffeur went on holidays, he drove himself up and down the hills, singing “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
One person practices and the whole family benefits
Once, my husband was driving home from a construction site when a boy suddenly ran out from the line of trees and bounced off his car. The child’s body flipped in the air twice before hitting the ground. But he was not injured. I said, “It was Master protecting him and you.” My husband agreed.
There was another time when he was driving to another county to attend a meeting. It was rush hour and getting dark when the meeting ended. He suddenly saw he was about to knock down a cyclist. He wanted to step on his brakes, but stepped on the accelerator instead. He knocked the person all the way over to the pedestrian walkaway on the right. My husband was so shocked that he fainted. But the other person stood up and was all right. The victim went to the hospital but he was fine. My husband said that it was Master who saved him again, and he was very grateful.
Out of my family of five, only my younger daughter and I practice Falun Gong. However, the other family members have read Dafa books and watched Master’s lectures.
When my eldest daughter graduated from university, she became an accountant. Her father told her that if she does not have money, she can just ask him for help, but that she is not allowed to take money from others. My daughter is now a chief financial officer. One time her boss put a bonus into her drawer. When she found out, she transferred the money to her boss’s bank account and told him that he should stop doing that.
My son became a technical supervisor when he graduated. I told him that he has to be respectful and understanding to be able to do his job well; he should not take advantage of others. He later told me that his boss tried to give him money, but he refused to take it.
