(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong in 2012. Before that I suffered from stomach ulcers, headaches, dizziness, kidney stones, and other diseases. I was constantly in pain.
To get rid of the kidney stones, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound treatment that was supposed to shatter the stones, but they did not shatter. The procedure was very painful. I was sweating so profusely that the winter jacket I was wearing was drenched in sweat.
My husband manages a successful enterprise. We have four children, the oldest over 20. My husband has always treated me quite well all the years of our marriage.
I once received a phone call out of the blue from a strange woman who asked me to give my husband a divorce because she wanted to have a "proper" status.
A sudden dizziness came over me. I felt my world exploding. I was already burdened with so much physical pain, and that additional shock was more than I could bear. I ended up with a nervous breakdown. I would go around all day talking about my “grievance” and seeking “justice” to all who would listen.
Dafa Teaches Me Forbearance and to Think of Others First
One of my aunts who practices Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) seeing how bitterly I was suffering, came to pay me a visit in October 2012. She told me about Falun Gong and gave me a book to read. The book was called Zhuan Falun.
From the day I began reading Zhuan Falun, I regarded myself as a practitioner. It took me more than 20 days to finish reading the book. The strange thing was, in just a few days into reading Zhuan Falun, Master was already purifying my body.
For two days straight, my nose would not stop running. I couldn’t understand why. From reading Zhuan Falun, I believed that whatever happened was a good thing. So, I ignored it. Two days later, my runny nose stopped running.
I told my father-in-law happily, “This book is amazing. It is much better than all the books at the university.”
I then went over to my aunt’s house to learn the five exercises, and started to do them diligently every day. Soon, all my illnesses disappeared. I felt so good, I even began to walk with a spring in my step. It was a tremendous feeling.
Soon after I started the Falun Gong practice, I was able to restrain my anger and conduct myself with “forbearance,” especially toward my husband.
I bore a lot of resentment toward my husband over his infidelity. I despised him for his ruthless heartlessness, so that every time he would come home I would feel sick to my stomach. I would snap at him and would not even look him in the eye.
After I started practicing Falun Gong, I came to understand and accept Dafa’s high-level principles. Without my being fully aware of what was happening, my bellyful of grievances against my husband completely disappeared.
I used to complain to my children, repeatedly telling them how bad their father was. My eldest son used to comfort me and promised one day he would avenge me.
But when he saw how I had changed after practicing Falun Gong, he laughed and said to me in jest, “Mom, look, I don’t think I need to avenge you anymore since you no longer hate Dad, even a little. What is there for me to avenge?”
My husband also noticed how I'd changed. He was happy and couldn’t help but appreciate and respect the power of Dafa.
As he was around quite infrequently, I didn’t see him much, but whenever he was home, I would talk to him about Falun Dafa. I sincerely wished he would have a bright future.
Last spring, my husband had a severe heart attack and needed to go to Shanghai for bypass surgery. At the time, I was with our youngest son in a neighboring county where he was attending high school.
When I knew about my husband’s situation, I was sympathetic. I sent him a Dafa amulet, with recommendations that he wear it and recite sincerely “Falun Dafa is good” so that he could receive blessings and be safe. I also gave him a bank card to use for his medical expenses.
During his stay in Shanghai, I sent him text messages every day and reminded him repeatedly to remember to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The surgery went well, and soon he was discharged.
My husband told our second daughter, who lives in Shanghai and took care of him in the hospital, “Now, I finally understand who is dearest to me in this world. It’s your mother. She practices Falun Gong. She knows the truth is the most precious, and so she shares with me this most precious thing. My surgery went smoothly, all due to Dafa's blessings.”
After practicing Falun Gong, I learned that we have to be good and kind to everybody without fail, that we should treat everybody selflessly, and that we should always think of others’ welfare first.
My mother-in-law died early, so it was my father-in-law who had brought up their four children. I’m sure it wasn't easy.
In consideration and appreciation of that fact, I treated my father-in-law as if he were my own father. I took care of him and bought him everything he needed.
When he got remarried a few years back, I bought him and his bride a new set of furniture and new bedding, pots and pans, and dishes. I also gave a brand new tricycle so that they could get around more easily.
Every New Year, I give my mother-in-law new clothes from head to toe. She tells everybody repeatedly, “I have such a nice daughter-on-law. I think I have fallen into a nest of great blessings.”
Dafa’s Power Manifested in My Family
After obtaining Dafa, I wanted the world to know the facts about Dafa as soon as possible so they could also be saved.
I not only went out every day to put up truth clarification posters and distribute Dafa materials, but also made phone calls and talked to people face-to-face so that they will not be deceived by the Communist Party and renounce it, and withdraw from all its affiliated organizations.
Whenever we have visitors at home, I speak to them about Falun Gong and relate to them the facts behind the persecution.
All the members of my extended family and all my relatives had learned about Dafa from me, and had also witnessed the wonder and magic Dafa had manifested in me physically and mentally. They had all quit the Party.
I had also asked that they spread the word to all their friends and classmates so that these people too would be saved.
My niece confided in me, “Auntie, you’re like a different person now. Before you practiced Falun Gong, I remember every time I came to visit you, you were always lying in bed looking more dead than alive. Everything that came out of your mouth was argumentative and quarrelsome. Even when I was saying my goodbyes, you would still be giving me a lecture on one topic or another. You just can’t imagine how I felt toward you. Now you have changed from a disgruntled lady into someone almost angelic.”
All my children understand the truth. They are all supportive of me in my Falun Gong practice. They all enjoy great blessings.
My second daughter lives in Shanghai. She said to me, “Mom, whenever I hear anyone say that Dafa is not good, I feel sad. When people throw Dafa materials on the ground, I’ll pick them up. I often feel that the person who distributes the materials could be my mom. When I encounter practitioners who talk to me about Dafa, I’ll wait until they finish and then thank them heartily before telling them I’ve already quit the Party. When I get phone calls from practitioners, no matter what I’m doing or how busy I am at the moment, I’ll listen carefully until the end. I know they mean to bring me good news and good blessings. I also think it rude to cut them off mid-stream.”
One time, my second son called me from school very excited. He wanted to share with me some great news.
I asked him, “Son, what is this great news that’s making you so happy and excited?”
He said, “I’ll tell you when I get home.” As soon as he got home, he told me, “Remember you gave me a Dafa amulet? It saved my life. If not for the amulet, my head would have been all smashed in!”
This was what happened: My son was standing under a tall building with some classmates. For no reason, the amulet around his neck came loose, fell off, and landed next to the lamp post close by. When my son leaned over to pick up his amulet, he heard a loud crash.
It was a brick that had fallen from the seventh floor above. It landed at the exact spot where my son had been standing.
My son was unharmed. He was full of gratitude that Dafa had saved his life.
What happened to my eldest son was even more miraculous.
When my son was 19 years old, he was working at a bridge construction site. One evening, he was driving his car along the river to reach the worksite when, for some strange reason, his car made a roundabout turn and was rushing toward the river. The river was deep. The hour was late. There was no other car in sight and no living being nearby. If his car fell into the river, nobody would be aware of the accident.
Just then, my son recalled that Dafa protects and saves lives, so he yelled out “Falun Dafa is good!”
All of a sudden big tree appeared in the path of his rushing car and effectively stopped it from ending up in the river.
My son was scared out of his wits. He broke out in a cold sweat. When he extracted himself from the wreckage, he put his palms together in front of his chest and repeatedly said, “Thank you, Master Li! Thank you, Master Li!
His car was very seriously damaged and took more than 20,000 yuan to fix, but my son escaped without a single scratch.
