(Minghui.org) When my mother told me that Falun Gong is wonderful, I started practicing without hesitation. In my 17 years of cultivating, I have firmly believed in Master and the Fa, despite the harsh environment that covered China after the onset of the persecution. I am moved whenever I think of Master. It seems that Dafa has been deeply rooted in every cell of my body.
With Master's blessings, I set up a materials production site at home in 2003. Initially, I collated information from Minghui Weekly to make truth-clarification materials. I then began downloading information from the Minghui website. Once the materials are ready for distribution, I put them on the table in front of Master's photo, kneel down and say: “Master, please let the materials utterly disintegrate the old forces and effectively save sentient beings. Please let the materials get to the predestined people in the safest and fastest manner. Please let them cherish the materials, understand the facts, and pass them on to their friends and relatives. None of the materials should be wasted.”
I have handed truth clarification materials to Fa study sites and individuals in person every week in all kinds of weather for a decade. I have delivered them by bus or on foot. When the bag on my shoulder felt heavy, I send righteous thoughts, saying that each set of information on my back is to save people and it should not be heavy. With Master's blessings, the heavy bag soon felt lighter. I knew that Master was encouraging me! I have overcome many difficulties and managed to deliver the materials to fellow practitioners in a timely manner.
Fellow practitioners and I work together very well. We briefly discuss issues of concern and plan our agenda for the coming week. If a problem arises, we correct it. We are very happy to meet every week and encourage each other.
I produce truth clarification materials every weekend. I do not know much money I have spent for the materials or how much of the materials I have made. When I make the informational materials, I play Dafa music, close the window in order not to disturb the neighbors, and concentrate on the task at hand. Everything runs smoothly when my Fa study and my xinxing is good. Otherwise, problems arise and I have trouble making the materials. I have spent long hours on my own producing the materials, but have never felt lonely. I am very happy and feel relaxed when the weekly materials are produced on time.
It was very difficult when I first set up the production site, because I also had to look after my parents and child. I could only produce the materials in small quantities due to my limited experience and lack of funds. As the quantity and content increased, my finances were not enough to support the expenses. I even had to stop my child's allowance. Although the money was very tight, I still used the best quality ink and paper to produce the materials.
Practitioners later chipped in to help with the expenses. I put aside my money earned from overtime and holiday allowances, and always used my money first before accepting money from others, and I recorded every penny received. I would like to thank those practitioners for helping out with the funds. I would also like to advise fellow practitioners who produce truth clarification materials that you can do things well only when you are clear about the funds.
I have endured tremendous pressure from the management at my workplace and my family members. My child was very young and my husband pressured me to refrain from producing truth clarification materials. But he finally relented and my production site started to blossom.
Initially, I read some simple facts about Falun Gong and divine culture to my husband, and then slowly added information on a deeper level. He liked to read everything I gave him, and sometimes he even asked me for the materials to read. Seeing me exhausted, he took over all of the household chores, giving me extra time after work to produce truth clarification materials. Here, I sincerely want to thank my family for their support.
During the past ten years, I have experienced and overcome numerous physical, mental and technical hardships. Some practitioners who worked with me on producing materials were illegally arrested, sentenced and incarcerated in forced labor camps. Some even died from diseases contracted while incarcerated. Many material production sites have been destroyed by the Chinese Communist Party. Seeing these heart-wrenching things, I repeatedly ask myself if I should continue making the materials. Should I protect myself or save sentient beings?
I said to Master in my heart: “I am your disciple. I know you are always by my side, even though I have never seen you in person. I will listen to you and do what I have to do, no matter how great the pressure is.”
With Master's protection, I have come along well, even though the tasks have been very hard sometimes.
