(Minghui.org) I am a practitioner who lives in the countryside and I began practicing Falun Dafa more than a decade ago. I always remind myself to believe in Master and the Fa while doing the three things to save people.
It is our second marriage for my husband and I, and we both have adult children from previous marriages. His son and my daughter often had disagreements. Since my husband doesn't practice Falun Dafa there were some conflicts between us too.
It was my husband's 66th birthday, and we planned a small celebration. His son hadn't confirmed that he would come. That day, my daughter and niece came for dinner. However, just before dinner started, his son came in with several coworkers.
He told my daughter and niece to leave. I was very embarrassed but I kept reminding myself that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and I should tolerate his rudeness.
My niece and daughter went to their car and were about to leave. I hurried after them, apologized and promised to invite them back for dinner.
After their car drove away, I returned to the house and noticed his son looking at me with a surprised expression on his face. He said when he heard the car drive away he thought I left with my daughter.
That night, in front of everyone at the table, he apologized to me and said it was a blessing to have a mother who practices Falun Dafa.
Since then, my husband's children changed their attitude towards me and they treat me like their birth mother. They often buy me nice clothes and food and support my practicing of Falun Dafa.
My husband's cataracts became so severe that he couldn't see. He also had difficulty walking. We went to the best hospital in our city but were told that even surgery could not save his eyesight.
We went to another hospital in a neighboring city. The doctor said my husband had only one in a 10,000 chance of regaining his eyesight.
I thought that this must be interference arranged by the old forces to keep me home to take care of my husband so I could not go out and save people. I refused to accept it and believed that Master would help me.
I told the doctor to arrange the surgery and I was confident my husband would be the one in 10,000.
I told my husband to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good”.
After the surgery, he told me that he recited the verse repeatedly and saw Master come and heal his eyes.
When we returned home, I read Zhuan Falun to him every day. One day, while I was reading, he stood up without my help and walked to the bathroom.
Like a miracle, his eyesight returned and he could walk again.
Fearing for my safety my family did not want me to talk to strangers about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
As an excuse to leave home, another practitioner and I found jobs at a greenhouse in a nearby city. In the morning, we talked to people about Falun Dafa and asked them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). We worked at the greenhouse in the afternoon.
If the greenhouse had no work for us, we rode our bicycles to other villages to talk to people and persuade them to quit the CCP.
We were once reported to the police in 2014 while passing out fliers and talking to people about Falun Dafa in a remote village.
A police car stopped and two policemen came out. I left the road and ran down a slope. One policeman stopped chasing me and went back to assist the other one who grabbed the fellow practitioner's arm.
I thought we were a team and we must help each other to avoid being arrested, so I went back to the main road and yelled, “Don't cooperate! Run!”
The policeman who was after me before turned around to chase me again. When the other policeman was distracted, the fellow practitioner broke away and ran into a village house. She ran out the back door and hid in the woods on the hill.
The policemen then got back into their car to chase me. I ran down another small hill, quickly took off my coat and joined two women working in a corn field. We chatted while tying the corn stalks into bundles.
The police car stopped. The two policemen got out and stood on top of the hill. They were so close that I could hear them talking to each other, “That old lady ran so fast. In a blink of an eye, she disappeared!”
We returned home safely that day.
I joined a large group of practitioners and we visited more than 10 villages in the winter of 2010. We encountered many obstacles along the way but I always kept a firm and positive attitude. In the end, we all returned home safely.
We began using cell phones in 2014 to call strangers and ask them to quit the CCP. It took a while to overcome the difficulties.
A fellow practitioner and I formed a team so we could encourage and help each other. Our goal was to help at least 10 people quit the Party every day.
We made calls nearly every day. Working as a team, we can help nearly 100 people quit the party in a month.
I understand that the current time is extended with Master's great sacrifice. The time is extended for practitioners to save more people. Only by doing exactly what Master asks us to do, will we be worthy of his great sacrifice.
