(Minghui.org) I am 73 years old, and I started to practice Falun Dafa in 2005. Before I began practicing I was a tyrant and everyone in the village was afraid of me.
Before I started to practice Falun Dafa, I suffered from many illnesses, including inflammation of the lining of the stomach, anemia, gallstones and liver stones. I always felt dizzy, and could not eat or sleep well. I was miserable and took it out on everyone around me. I had a bad temper and cursed at everyone I interacted with. I especially hated my brother-in-law and was determined to never talk to him again.
Amazing things happened shortly after I began to practice Falun Dafa. All my illnesses disappeared. My complexion became rosy. Despite my age, I could easily walk up the stairs. I also rode a scooter and helped my son with the farm work.
Last February my husband and I went to help on our son's farm. I wanted to show him how kind and healthy I was now because he had not been supportive of my practicing Falun Dafa. I used a large rake to move the straw out of the field. In the beginning, it was difficult, but the more I worked, the easier it was and the lighter my body felt. My husband was amazed and said to my son: “Your mother is so strong now! She's even stronger than me. Falun Dafa is great and we should support her.” My son did not say anything but I knew he was not against Dafa.
For years, I refused to talk to my brother-in-law and I even taught my children to hate him. I was determined not to have any contact with him for the rest of my life. However, I became kind and broad-minded after I began to practice Dafa.
When my brother-in-law passed away in 2015, his wife contacted me and asked if my husband could attend his funeral. I told her that I no longer hated her husband because I had begun practicing Falun Dafa and that I would attend the funeral as well. She was very happy and said that I had truly changed. She repeatedly thanked me. I brought a lot of informational materials and some desk calendars with information about Falun Dafa to share with our relatives.
At the funeral, the relatives listened. They knew how abusive I had always been and they noticed how I had changed. I told them that I was healthy now and I no longer needed to take any medicine. I asked them that they not listen to the Party's propaganda which slanders Falun Dafa. They wanted to learn more about Dafa. After I spoke, several people withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Even my brother-in-law's neighbors knew how I had hated him for years. They were surprised to see me at the funeral and remarked how I had changed. Several said that Falun Dafa is great.
I used to curse at anyone who I thought offended me. I was well known for this in my village, and my friends, relatives, and neighbors avoided me. After I started to practice Falun Dafa, I knew that I needed to get rid of this bad habit. At first, it was difficult not to swear at people. But I strictly monitored what I said and I finally stopped cursing.
For years, I cursed out my sister-in-law and she hated me. However, after I began practicing and I stopped cursing her, she began cursing at me. She said that I had cursed her for years and that she needed to pay me back. So, for an entire year, whenever she saw me, she immediately swore at me, but I remained calm. She was touched and said: “I admire you. You are so much nicer now.” She stopped cursing at me, and we get along well now.
When I stopped cursing out my husband he began cursing at me. One day he cursed at me for no reason. I got angry but did not curse back. I knew that I was repaying the karma I had accumulated.
Afterwards, my husband was convinced that I had indeed changed. He said that he would not curse at me anymore and would live with me peacefully. He was sure that he would be blessed by Falun Dafa.
I filed a lawsuit against the former Chinese president for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners in 2015. A few days later when I was meditating, I saw a layer of negative substances leaving my body.
Other practitioners said that my skin looked soft and youthful, and I looked 10 years younger than my actual age. My youthful appearance shows people the benefits one derives from practicing Falun Dafa. They know how badly I behaved before, and when they see the positive changes, they know Falun Dafa is amazing.
