(Minghui.org) I was in the process of decorating my new house when the water supply was suddenly turned off. This meant that I had to carry water barrel by barrel from over 50 meters away, and then climb three floors to pass the barrel to the workers. Supplying water in this way kept me very busy. The workers were satisfied and said, “Good job! You have more strength than a 20-year-old young man. This is quite amazing for a woman who is almost 60 years old!”
I told them that I previously had chronic leukemia, but recovered from the disease by practicing Falun Gong. They said, “We knew you were a good person the first time we met you.” I then took the opportunity to speak to them about Falun Dafa and the persecution, including the Tiananmen Square Self-immolationIncident in 2001. In the end, they decided to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Reborn Through Dafa
When I was 16 years old, I suffered from toxuria. My mother even started to prepare clothes for my burial. I often felt quite sick and had to take a lot of medicine.When it rains it pours! I also developed chronic leukemia at the end of 1994. After enduring two bone marrow aspiration procedures, I often had a fever, fatigue and sometimes suffered from shock. I went everywhere trying to find medical treatments to help me get better. A doctor told my family that I could die within a couple of years.
My neighbor invited me to practice Falun Gong in a park one day in June 1996. Since that day, my body has become stronger and stronger, and I look healthier and happier. In winter I no longer feel cold, since my feet, legs and hands are now always warm. My husband was glad to see my great changes, and he always encouraged me to practice Falun Gong, “It is your teacher that gave you a healthy body.”
After witnessing my great health changes, many friends and relatives started to practice Falun Gong. During the past 18 years, I have never had to go to a hospital, and thus saved a lot of medical expenses. At the same time, I am able to cheerfully work hard for the good of society.
Taking Money Lightly
As an accountant, I thought highly of money and self-interest. After beginning cultivation, I set high demands for myself according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and never vied for profit.
Since nobody wanted to clean the public toilets at my workplace, I used my own money to buy detergent, and then took care of these toilets myself every day. Once, a salesman gave me an extra pair of pants by mistake, and I returned them the following day. I explained to him that I could not take advantage of this situation and keep the clothing, because I am a Falun Gong practitioner.
If my colleagues had any questions while making a report, I would patiently give them detailed answers to help them out. My boss was very happy with my job performance and became interested in reading Dafa books.
My husband once lent 10,000 yuan to his friend for the stock exchange. After I became aware of what the money was to be used for, I advised my husband to ask him to return the money. His friend delayed returning the money. The company he worked for soon became bankrupt. He did not mention returning the money to us, but said, “I am very sorry.” If I were not a practitioner, I would demand that the money be returned anyway. However, as a practitioner, I need to consider others first. I knew he might be distraught after losing so much money.
Being a Better Neighbor
After returning home from a brainwashing center camp in 2001, I noticed the stairs in a public building were in a big mess. A lot of trash was gathered around the building corners. As a practitioner, I should be responsible for helping with public sanitation. I collected trash and cleaned up all eight floors of the building. On a snowy day, I assumed responsibility for shoveling the snow on the walkways.
My neighbors praised me for providing them with a neat residential area. The director of the neighborhood committee said, “You are really a good person! Only you have been responsible for the sanitation here. You still pay sanitation fees just as the others do, yet you refuse to receive any fee for your hard work.” I told her that my Master wants me to do these things for others.
My Husband’s Family Witnessed the Wonder of Falun Gong
My husband was so distraught by my continued persecution by the CCP that he died in 2002. His family blamed me for his death and they appeared at my house very angry and upset. They even wanted to do an autopsy to confirm that I had indeed killed my husband. Although I was very sad about the death of my husband, I thought that I should calmly handle this situation so my relatives would not get the wrong impression about Falun Gong.
They abused me and made venomous personal attacks towards me, but I did not lose my temper and only kept silent. I did not hate them at all. I visited them around the new lunar year, and invited them to have meals together at my home. My husband's older sister suffered from heart disease and diabetes. I spoke to her about Falun Dafa and encouraged her to recite silently, “Falun Dafa is good.” She accepted my advice and withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. As for other relatives, I always cared about their feelings and gave them assistance when necessary. They later realized how wonderful Falun Dafa is and understood the truth.
My husband's niece was unable to have children. Last year, she accepted my advice and often recited sincerely, “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. Moreover, all her family members understood the truth and withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organization. Finally, she became pregnant unexpectedly!
Many miracles have happened around me during these past 18 years! I once again express my gratitude towards Master! Thank you, Master! It is you that has allowed me to be reborn and become a Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period.
