(Minghui.org) I realized that the so-called “Tiananmen self-immolation” was a hoax back in 2001. When I saw through the lie, I started to practice Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa).
I had strong attachments to fame, vanity, and competition because I had an important position in the construction industry. My status caused many people to befriend me for favored treatment. As I basked in this attention and sense of self-importance, my health started to deteriorate. I frequently had severe headaches for no apparent reason.
After starting cultivation, I gradually let go of personal gain. My xinxing improved and I became a better person. My headaches never came back. Other illnesses including rhinitis, ringworm, and severe stomachaches also disappeared without treatment.
Seeing Through CCP Lies
Many doubts arose when I watched the Tiananmen Square self-immolation on television. How could Wang Jindong commit suicide if he was a true practitioner, since killing oneself is against Dafa's principles? How could his whole body, including his face, be on fire while his eyebrows and hair and a plastic bottle between his legs were not? How could a young girl who had just had a tracheotomy still sing? How could reporters conduct interviews in a hospital burn ward without wearing the usual protective garments?
Obviously, the whole thing was staged. It was a lie. The government-run China Central TV station openly lied to the Chinese people.
I had read a few Dafa books before the 1999 persecution, but I did not take it too seriously at the time. But now, seeing the true evil nature of the Party, I decided to practice Falun Gong.
Becoming a Better Person
In our group Fa study, practitioners shared cultivation experiences such as looking inward in conflicts, considering others before doing things, and improving xinxing. I was deeply moved, realizing that this environment is really special.
I follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become a better person and began to consider others before myself.
I no longer accept gifts because of my job. I explain to them that, as a Dafa practitioner, I do not take things that do not belong to me. I do my job conscientiously.
Because I changed for the better after starting cultivation, I was assigned to manage the mining company's canteen, which provides meals for more than 100 employees. In this position, it would be very easy to pocket a few hundred yuan every day, but I strictly behave as a practitioner should all the time.
I clearly record items purchased and keep clean accounts in the purchase ledger. Soon other people working at the canteen followed suit and no longer accepted gifts. As a result, for the same budget, the quality of the food improved and there was more for everyone.
Our general manager praised me publicly and asked others to learn from me.
“This is the mighty virtue of Dafa,” I said. “Every person becomes a good person once they practice Falun Dafa. This is what our nation needs.”
Taking Care of My Mother-in-Law
My bedridden mother-in-law was in her 80s when my husband died. His other siblings did not want to look after her. I assumed this duty for three years until she passed away.
My mother-in-law had trouble swallowing. I had to mash her food and feed her. I had to clean her several times a day, but I never complained. When she died, I paid for her funeral costs, which was 15,000 yuan.
Her nieces and nephew know that I am a practitioner. They praised me, saying that I really follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to behave as a good person should.
My Daughter Benefits from Dafa
In Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia, Master said,
“….... with one person practicing, the whole family benefits.”
My daughter benefits from Dafa also. Her company is booming with good profits. She often provides financial support for Dafa activities.
