(Minghui.org) May 1, 1998, is a day I will never forget. That was the day I started to practice Falun Dafa.
I'm 64 years old. Six years ago, I learned to drive a car. Since then, I have driven fellow practitioners up and down all of the streets and major thoroughfares of every village and town in my county and vicinity.
Originally, I didn't know how to read and my eyesight was not good. Before practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from all kinds of sicknesses, as well as leg pain, back pain, toothache, and eye problems.
After listening to Master’s recorded lectures and doing the exercises for six months, I could see well. When I began to study the Fa, I began to learn to read. Now, I can read almost everything related to Dafa. In the evenings when I studied Zhuan Falun, the words would appear big and dark so that I had no problem recognizing them.
Then I started to memorize Lunyu. After that, I memorized everything Master wrote.
Early in the morning on August 8, 2010, I made a pot of hot soy milk. It was raining. I had my slippers on, and I slipped on the wet floor as I was carrying the pot of hot soy milk. The hot milk splashed all over my face.
My husband was extremely concerned. He wanted to take me to the hospital. I told him I was okay. I sat down and started meditating and seeking Master’s help.
In about an hour, my face didn’t hurt anymore, although it continued to throb.
I went to the bathroom to clean up. My husband said, "Your face is caked with soy milk. Be careful when you wash. Don’t use force."
After I washed up, I put on clean clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t see through my left eye and my right eye was merely a slit. I saw blisters all over my face.
I sat down to listen to Master's lectures and send forth righteous thoughts. That evening, both my eyes were so swollen that I wasn’t able to see anything at all.
That night, my husband said, "Why don’t you sleep in my bedroom. It’s more convenient for you to use the bathroom from there."
But I thought, “I’m a Dafa disciple. I have Master and I won’t have a problem.”
I felt my way to my own bedroom.
When I got up later that night to send forth righteous thoughts at the designated time, I could open my left eye a bit. At 3:30 a.m., I got up as usual to do the exercises.
On the third day, dark pus kept oozing from my blisters.
On the third night, our group had our usual gathering, so my husband took me. Fellow practitioners didn’t even recognize me. They sent forth righteous thoughts for me.
I said, "As long as I can see, I will go out to talk to people [about the persecution of Falun Dafa]."
The others had a different opinion, "Your face looks horrible. How do you plan to talk to anybody?"
When I got back home, I burned incense and beseeched Master to restore my face, as I was anxious to go out as soon as I could.
On the fourth day, the dark dead skin started to peel off and my face slowly began to regain its normal hue. On the seventh day, every piece of dead skin was gone.
On the ninth day, with my face practically back to normal, I went out to talk to people about Falun Dafa.
I really felt that my divine side had surfaced. I realized I had never driven my car that far.
Some people would ask me, “What happened to your face?”
I would tell them how it was drenched with hot soy milk nine days before.
They would want to know what hospital I went to that I healed so fast.
I would tell them that I didn’t go to any hospital. I just stayed home and read Falun Dafa’s main text Zhuan Falun and recited the nine golden words “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
I told them, “Falun Dafa is truly very good. I haven’t taken any medication for 12 years now and have never gotten sick. "
I would let them know that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a hoax manufactured by former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin and the Communist regime and that Falun Dafa was being unfairly and illegally persecuted.
I said, “From 1992, when Falun Dafa was brought to the public by Master Li Hongzhi, to 1999, 100 million people had started to practice it. In seven years, the number of practitioners had already surpassed the number of Communist Party members.
“It was Jiang Zemin's small-minded jealousy that had made him determined to suppress and wipe out Falun Dafa.”
People would listen and say, “The Communist Party can't last.”
I would then recommend that they quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations to ensure their safety.
Many understood, agreed, and withdrew from the Communist Party.
I gave them each a Dafa amulet. I also taught them to recite "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."
I told them, “Say those words often and from your hearts and you will receive great blessings.”
When they wanted to thank me I told them, "You should thank Falun Dafa’s Master instead."
That day, I traveled about 70 miles and helped 31 people quit the CCP. I knew it was all the result of Master’s encouragement.
This incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise. My face actually got a lot better. I not only look younger but my former blemishes disappeared.
My husband was moved to remark, "If you had gone to the hospital, it might have taken you three months to recover and the outcome might not be this good. You might even have been disfigured. Dafa is truly amazing. Your Master is truly great!"
On March 19, 2014, I was in a nearly fatal car accident.
Around 8 a.m., another practitioner and I set out to take to people about Falun Dafa. Things didn’t go well. I had to drop off the practitioner by 11. Then my car had problems so I had to stop at a nearby small gas station to add ethanol.
On the way home, my car died three times.
At a crossroads, I saw a big gas station and decided to replace the ethanol. I was just crossing the intersection when my car died again. I got out to walk to the gas station. A large truck came up behind me and hit me hard. I lost consciousness.
The truck braked to a screeching halt after more than 20 feet. The driver called for an ambulance, then picked me up. He shook me awake and asked me, "Are you all right?"
I responded, "Oh, I’m quite all right."
The driver’s wife came over and said, "Your hand is all scratched up. You head is bleeding. Your clothes are all torn."
"It doesn’t matter. Those are just flesh wounds," I said. "Don’t blame yourselves. Just go on your way."
Just then, a van transporting students drove over. Some of the parents got out and surrounded me. Somebody called my husband. In a little while, my husband arrived with our daughter and son-in-law.
My son-in-law, seeing I was covered in blood and my down jacket all torn up, jumped up and went for the driver.
I stopped him. "Don’t hit anybody! Don’t blame the driver. It was my own fault. The ethanol I added to the car made it stall in the middle of the road."
Then I turned and said to the driver, "Please feel free to leave. I practice Falun Dafa. My Master will take care of me. I’m okay.”
The driver and his wife were worried. "We already called for the ambulance. Why is it taking so long?”
Just then, the ambulance showed up.
I said, "I won’t get in."
But they picked me up and put me in the ambulance despite my protests.
I was completely clearheaded. I repeated, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" all the way to the hospital. I felt my head stop bleeding.
In the hospital, the doctor said, "This gash is very long. It needs stitches.”
I told the doctor, "I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. You don’t need to sew me up. The gash will heal by itself."
The driver begged me, "Please, good lady, let the doctor do it. I’ll pay whatever it costs."
But I was adamant.
My daughter said, "Since my mother does not want any medical treatment, I’ll just take her home."
The driver helped my daughter get me into her car. I told the driver, “You don’t need to be worried. I practice Falun Dafa. I won’t take your money. I’m all right. Please put your heart at ease.”
On the way home, I clarified the truth to him, saying, "Falun Dafa is being persecuted. What you see in television are all lies. Our Master teaches us to be good people.”
I told him to remember "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" and to say those words often. He thanked me and said he would.
In the little time we had, I talked to him about quitting the Communist Party for his personal peace and safety. He gratefully agreed.
I also told my daughter not to accept any money, as seeking any compensation would be doing a bad deed.
They took me home and returned to the scene of the accident. The driver handed my daughter 2,000 yuan. My daughter firmly refused to take it.
Later, my daughter told me when the driver and his wife were driving away, they said, "Today, we were lucky to have met up with a good person who practices Falun Dafa. Anybody else would have demanded a lot of money. We might even have lost our truck, which we depend on to make a living.”
They thanked my family over and over again.
Three days later, someone who was at the scene of the accident inquired of my husband, "How’s the wife doing?”
My husband said, "She’s doing great. If she had gone to the hospital and had her head stitched up, she would still have to go back to have the stitches removed. She practices Falun Dafa, and the gaping hole in her head healed itself in no time. This Falun Dafa is absolutely wonderful and miraculous."
When I returned home from the hospital, I washed the blood out of my hair with three basins of water. The gash was about three inches long. There was also a big lump the size of a small ball, but it didn’t hurt and disappeared during the night.
The next morning, I did the Falun Dafa exercises with no problem. Three days later, I did only the first four exercises and couldn’t do the fifth. My chest hurt. I had difficulty breathing. I got worse as the days went by. I developed a cough. My cough became painful. Then I started to spit up thick bloody mucus.
That lasted for five or six days.
I studied the Fa and looked inward.
I thought to myself, “If I didn’t have Master’s protection, I would have been dead.”
I fully recovered after a few more days. I promptly went right back to clarifying the truth to people.
