(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in the winter of 1997, after which my illnesses all disappeared. I experienced a feeling of being light and free of disease. For nearly 20 years, I have not needed any medication. I felt my body being completely transformed.

I am 64 years old, but I look like a 50-year-old woman with delicate skin and rosy cheeks. People often ask me what skin care products I use. I tell them I don't use anything, but I practice Falun Dafa, which cultivates both body and mind. It teaches people to be good by following the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

In the spring of 2005, I began to persuade people to withdraw their memberships from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. After I had persuaded many of my friends and family, I moved on to strangers. I talked to people from different social classes, including government officials, police officers, teachers, students, farmers, waste collectors, drivers, cleaners, etc. I think the process of clarifying the truth constantly removes our fear. It has helped me to break through my own fear. When I encounter problems, I always look within myself, improve my xinxing, and eliminate my attachments and selfishness.

I met a head of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee (PLAC) in July 2014. I didn’t know his title at the time. He shifted the topic when I was about to clarify the facts to him. A woman then told me that he was a head official. Thinking that he must be opinionated, I did not clarify the facts to him. I was also trying to protect myself and not invite trouble.

I later met him again. He still seemed unapproachable. Due to fear and the intent to protect myself, I missed another opportunity to clarify the truth. I discovered my own lack of compassion.

I was clarifying the facts to his colleague on another day. His colleague did not believe me. He pointed to him and challenged me to go to tell him first. I smiled, but didn’t go over to clarify the facts to him.

I shared this with a fellow practitioner. She encouraged me to dispel my misgivings and go for it.

In June 2016 I met the official again. I finally broke through my attachments and clarified the facts to him. I said, “I have some good information for you.” He said “go ahead.” I said, “Have you heard about quitting the Party? When you joined the Party you made a vow to devote your life to it. We should quit the Party to retract that vow and ensure your safety.”

He readily accepted it and told me that he had read some truth-clarifying materials. I was excited, and said, “I should have told you earlier. I was afraid you wouldn’t accept it because of your position.” He said, “It is still worth a try.” I handed him a booklet about the lawsuits against former communist head Jiang Zemin. He accepted it and said, “Whenever you have new information, please bring it to me. Let's keep in touch.”

I gave him a copy of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party a few days later. I didn’t know he was a PLAC head until then. I asked him to share the information with his friends and family and said it was a thing of great merit. He repeated the sentence, “It is a thing of great merit! Good!”

He totally changed after that. He said, “Master Li Hongzhi is great!” His colleagues walked by and asked him what we were talking about. He said “I am promoting Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance!”

I later gave him a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. He was very happy to receive it, and is now reading the book.

I clearly heard the music of the fifth exercise with my celestial ear that evening. It lasted for more than thirty minutes and it’s continued for about a week. It is very mysterious and extraordinary. I believe this is Master's form of encouragement. Thank you Master!
