(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Guan had hepatitis, nephritis, cholecystitis, and serious heart disease. At that time she was paralyzed and bedridden and needed help from her family just to sit up. The hospital told her that she would have to spend 100,000 yuan for a heart transplant. Her family wanted to borrow the money for the operation, but they were afraid that she might not be able to survive the procedure. Ms. Guan felt that there was no hope.
In 1998, after studying Falun Dafa teachings for 6 months, Ms. Guan recovered from her illnesses and could even perform chores outside. Ms. Guan did not know how to express her gratitude to Master Li for saving her life. She decided to listen to Master's teachings and strictly follow Dafa's requirements.
In 2003, Ms. Guan and her husband rented a house in a new place. It was a farmer's courtyard house, where two more families were living: Mr. Zheng with his wife and her family and Mr. Dagang with his wife and their 9-year old boy named Liangliang. When Ms. Guan first moved in, the other two families were not happy because they had heard that she practiced Falun Dafa.
Ms. Guan knew that these two families had been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) slandering propaganda and did not know the facts about Falun Dafa. She and her husband tried to be considerate of their neighbors at all times. Each day Ms. Guan would clean up the common yard and the road in front of the yard. When it was raining, Ms. Guan would help the families collect the clothes that were hanging outside, folding them neatly and placing them inside.
Slowly, as Ms. Guan continued to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to the families, their attitude changed. Mr. Zheng told his neighbors, “Who said Falun Dafa is not good? In my opinion, Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people.” At the grocery shopping center, Mr. Zheng's daughter also told people that Dafa practitioners are good people and that people should not listen to the slandering propaganda on TV. Her business of selling vegetables has been prospering more and more.
Mr. Zheng and his wife practiced some low-level qigong, but the more they practiced, the more unhealthy they became. They did not have much energy during the day and could hardly do any work. Ms. Guan lent them Dafa books and told them, “Take a look at these books. If you like it, then you can learn the practice.”
Mr. Zheng thought he wanted to give it a try and began reading Zhuan Falun. After reading it through once, he decided to learn Falun Dafa and gave up what he had learned before. Each morning at 2 a.m., Mr. Zheng would go over to Ms. Guan's home and practice the exercises with her.
After practicing Falun Dafa for a while, Mr. Zheng and his wife felt healthy. They could work on heavy duty jobs. During the New Year holidays, Mr. Zheng went to the supermarket and bought a sweater for Ms. Guan. He told her: “Since I learned Falun Dafa, both my wife and I have became healthy. Now we can go to work and earn money. Thank you so much for telling us about such a good thing.” Ms. Guan said: “Do not thank me. You should thank our Master. You should practice cultivation more diligently—that is the best way to show your gratitude for Master's salvation.”
After that, Mr. Zheng began to study the Fa with Ms. Guan, as well as go to distribute truth-clarifying materials and hang banners. Mr. Zheng's daughter and in-laws all withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
After learning the truth about Falun Dafa, the Dagang family often asked Ms. Guan to give them truth-clarification materials, and they also withdrew from the CCP organizations. They also posted a banner that said “Falun Dafa is good” in their vegetable greenhouse. That year a typhoon tore apart other people's greenhouses, but their greenhouse was safe and the vegetables grew very well. Mr. Dagang gave Ms. Guan the key to his home and asked her to help take care of it. Sometimes when Ms. Guan saw them come home late, she would help them prepare dinner. Mr. Dagang and his wife told everyone they met, "Falun Dafa is really good."
One day, Liangliang hurt his ankle and limped as he walked. Ms. Guan saw him and asked him to come to her home. She guided him in doing the half-hour sitting meditation of Falun Dafa. When he went outside afterward, he could jump and hop just like before.
Liangliang did not like to do his homework. Ms. Guan took notice and taught him to study the poems in Hong Yin. Afterward, whenever he saw Ms. Guan studying the Fa or sending forth righteous thoughts, he would follow along with her. Once, he saw a banner that read “Falun Dafa is good” fall onto the road. Many people walked by, but nobody dared to pick it up. Liangliang picked it up and brought it back to Ms. Guan. Ms. Guan praised him for doing a good deed. Not long after, Liangliang began to like doing his homework at school. His studies improved, and he became very polite. Liangliang's parents felt very happy for him and believed in Falun Dafa even more.
Once, a policeman came to Ms. Guan's home to harass her, but she was not home. Mr. Dagang hid Ms. Guan's Dafa materials, and the police did not find anything and left. After Ms. Guan moved out, Mr. Dagang asked her to send him truth-clarification materials, especially Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs.
