(Minghui.org) I worked in the finance department of a pharmaceutical company after I graduated from a university. However, I was demoted from my position to an ordinary worker in the factory shop without any notice after I returned to work from maternity leave. I attributed it to the fact that I had an upright character and never bribed management (which is common and expected in many companies in China).
Lost in Struggle
I was greatly dismayed by this unfair move. I cried and was filled with hatred. At that time my husband had just lost his job, and my mother-in-law refused to look after our baby so my husband could look for a job. My nights were sleepless because of this.
There were only bad thoughts in my mind and I complained about my bad luck, that I was unfairly treated, that my husband was incompetent, and about everything that had gone wrong at home and at work.
After I became an ordinary worker in the factory, I became tough, talked coarsely and swore. I took home some of the drugs the factory produced. I was no longer polite to colleagues and people were afraid of me. However, deep down I was in agony because this was not the life I longed for.
Reading Zhuan Falun Brought Relief
My son had a high fever when he was four years old. I gave him the best medicine I could get from the factory, but his fever continued. I was very worried.
One of my colleagues suggested that since medication could not cure my son, that I should seek alternative treatments.
Another colleague recommended Falun Dafa to me and gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. Although it was recommended to me in the past, I had refused to accept it and had laughed at the practitioner. However, this time I took the book home.
I started to read Zhuan Falun after my son went to sleep, dozed off and saw a large Falun (law wheel). I woke up and realized that it was a vivid dream.
My son's fever was gone the next day, and he regained his appetite. I told the colleague about my dream. She said that I had good inborn quality, but I did not believe this.
Since birth, my son suffered from illnesses and I spent a fortune on his medical expenses. I was happy that he recovered, so I continued to read the book.
I then had an excruciating headache, so I took a big dose of medicine and vomited five minutes later. To my surprise, my headache disappeared, and my mind became very clear. I was sure I benefited from Falun Dafa and realized that what the book said was true.
My migraine and stomach problems disappeared. I told my colleague what had happened. She said that the Master of Falun Dafa had already taken care of me. I did not refute her this time, nor did I say anything bad. Instead, I asked her to buy a copy of Zhuan Falun for me.
Changed Person
My body had never been so light as it was the next morning. I was in such a cheerful mood that every cell in my body was happy. It was happiness from the bottom of my heart.
I was amazed by my changes. I no longer complained. The conflicts with my mother-in-law and my colleagues were no longer of concern to me.
After seeing the changes in me, my colleagues came to know that Falun Dafa indeed could fundamentally change a person.
One colleague's husband was a police officer who persecuted practitioners and who slandered Falun Dafa. My colleagues told him that Falun Dafa is good because it turned me into a good person.
My husband supported my practicing Falun Dafa before the persecution started. He witnessed the improvement in my health and our son's recovery from illness. He said that he would learn Falun Dafa when he came home from working out of town.
Ms. Zhang, my colleague who told me about Falun Dafa was then fired because she refused to write the guarantee statement that she would renounce Falun Dafa. Since then, I had lost contact with other Dafa practitioners, and I slacked off in my cultivation.
Ms. Zhang called me in May 2001. She gave me Master's new articles and some pamphlets about the persecution. That is when I began to distribute Falun Dafa fliers.
Change in My Husband
My husband quit his job and came home. He was terrified when he found out that I distributed fliers at night and that the pamphlets in our area were given out by me. He was scared to death. He tried to stop me from going out. One night he woke up and did not see me at home, so he burned all the remaining pamphlets and DVDs. This caused a big fight.
I did not really know how to cultivate and how to look within for the cause of the problem at that time. I scorned him for his timidness and ungratefulness. After that he would often beat me, which left me with many bruises. He then tore up the book Zhuan Falun. No matter what he did, I continued to distribute Falun Dafa fliers.
It was time to have a heart to heart talk with him. I started with the improvement of my and our son's health after we practiced Falun Dafa. He agreed that Falun Dafa is good, but that he was afraid of being arrested.
When he had simmered down, I told him some stories of people benefiting from Dafa that explained what happened to people that persecuted it. I also read some paragraphs from Zhuan Falun and played Master's audio lectures for him. Gradually he changed.
He had wrist pain for almost two years. The hospital could not diagnose the cause, and medication did not help either. I thought it was retribution for his tearing up the book Zhuan Falun.
I bought a second-hand computer and a printer to make Falun Dafa pamphlets at home. He helped me because he had learned the skills when he worked in a printing factory. He worked really hard. He went to my relative's home to help prepare the materials at 3:00 a.m. on several occasions. Gradually his wrist pain disappeared.
He became interested in becoming a practitioner and I told him that he needed to study the Fa and do the Falun Dafa exercises to be a true practitioner.
