(Minghui.org) Four people who live close to my house – Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding – tore down Falun Dafa truth-clarifying stickers from electric poles a few years ago. Within a short period of time, they faced hard times.

Jia had a stroke, and his wife developed strong resentment toward him. His son was divorced, had epilepsy, and did some part-time jobs to support his child’s education. They were struggling financially.

Yi had problem walking, as well as impaired hearing. One day his wife went to a relative’s home. Yi had locked the door, and couldn’t hear his wife knocking when she returned. She had to stay at my home for the night. He also had heart disease and high blood pressure.

Bing developed a serious illness after he tore down the stickers. He received hospital treatment for a long time, and his wife said that he was in critical condition.

Ding’s situation is not truly known. Whenever there was a health seminar, he would go and bring medicine back home. I didn’t ask what his condition was.

At that time, Falun Dafa practitioners put up a large number of truth-clarifying stickers, but they had disappeared before dawn. I saw Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding, who were street cleaners, tear down the stickers that were for helping people understand the facts about Falun Dafa. These four people fell on hard times, but they didn’t know why.

I was able to contact their wives, except for Jia's, and told them about Falun Dafa and the persecution, the principle of good is rewarded and evil would meet with retribution, and told them that their husbands should not do those things even if they were paid, as it would not only hurt them but also their families.

I gave them an example. There was a couple in the town who cursed Dafa practitioners and prevented them from putting up stickers with the words “Falun Dafa is Good.” Not long after, the couple died. They believed in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies, were against Dafa, and received retribution because of their bad deeds.

I told the wives, “Dafa has spread to over 100 countries. On March 1, 2011, Liu Binjie, director of the China Press and Publications Administration, signed the No. 50 Bill to put an end to former CCP leader Jiang Zemin’s ban on publishing Falun Dafa books. Falun Dafa is not illegal. Who is breaking the law? It is those who persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.

“Those benevolent people [Falun Dafa practitioners] are blessed. When disaster strikes, those who are against Dafa will be eliminated. Please tell your husbands not to tear down Falun Dafa stickers. Jia has to use a cane now. He didn’t need it in the past. He shouldn’t do that job. Some illnesses come about by doing bad deeds. If you want the illnesses to be cured, please stop doing wrong things toward Dafa.”

The wives relayed my words to their husbands. Their husbands then returned the stickers and put them in piles in front of my house or at the entrance of the lane where my house is located. Some put big stickers on my door. They also resigned from their jobs. I am happy about their latest action.

I felt sorry for Jia, and went looking for him. He quit the Young Pioneers (one of the CCP’s youth organizations) after I clarified the truth to him.

One chilly winter day last year, someone rang my door bell. I opened the door and saw Jia. I asked him if there was anything wrong, as he looked very tired. He spoke with a lisp and said he had a question to ask me. I invited him in, gave him a cup of hot water, and asked how I could help him. He said he picked up two truth-clarifying pamphlets and read them two days ago. The pamphlets said he could chant “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to be safe. So he wanted to know more about Falun Dafa.

After I played a video showing Dafa’s spread across different continents, he said, “I now know what Falun Dafa is. I want to practice too.” I suggested that he should read the book Zhuan Falun and I could show him the exercises.

I lent him Zhuan Falun and told Jia to read it, but be respectful when handling it. When he saw Master’s photo, he said, “Is he your Master? Then he is also mine. I should kowtow to him, but I can’t kneel.”

“If you want to do it sincerely,” I replied, “Master can help you.”

He knelt down and kowtowed to Master. When he stood up, he said, “I want to burn incense to Master.” I gave him a few incense sticks. After he was done, he kowtowed to Master again, saying, “Master, please allow me to kowtow to you. But I don’t know anything.”

I said, “When you cleaned the streets, you tore down Dafa truth-clarifying stickers that were there to help save people. You were committing a crime against Dafa.”

Jia said he wasn’t aware of this, and that the neighborhood administration office told him to do it. I replied, “Before you did that, your health wasn’t that bad. It deteriorated since you did it.”

I told him that he could write a solemn declaration to apologize for his actions, and that I could help him write it. After we finished, he signed it and pressed his hands together in front of his chest. He read it with a pure heart, and then knelt down and kowtowed to Master.

I couldn’t hold back my tears, thinking about how as a sentient being, once cheated by the CCP, how dangerous it was for him. But he regretted what he did and apologized to Master. He was very serious with a glowing face, as he put the Dafa book close to his chest so that his wife wouldn’t see it. He said happily while leaving, “Previously, I felt as if my feet were locked, and I could barely walk. Now I can walk and feel well.”

I told him that because he wrote the solemn declaration, Master is taking care of him. Jia thanked Master.

Unfortunately, his wife found Zhuan Falun after he had only been reading it for a few days. She didn’t allow him to read it anymore, so he returned the book.

He knocked on my door again a few days later, wanting to study the Fa at my home, without his wife knowing. He said he felt so good when studying the Fa, and could walk easily. He only studied the Fa for two days and took it very seriously. However, he read very slowly, as he hadn’t gotten much of an education. He tended to wear glasses to read but didn’t bring them with him while he was at my home.

Jia couldn’t read very well, so I told him that he could ask Master to help him read the Fa. He asked for Master’s help and could read the Fa clearly after that. He asked me many questions, and I answered as best as I could.

I thought it wasn’t appropriate for him to keep coming to my home, as he was married and I’m a woman. More importantly, he should study the Fa in a dignified and upright manner. “You should talk to your wife,” I said, “You’ve experienced great changes since you started reading Zhuan Falun. You can’t do it sneakily. You must do it in a dignified manner.” However, he was worried that his wife would scold him and tear up the book if he took it home.

He must have plucked up the courage to talk to his wife, as he didn’t come to my home anymore. I met him a few days ago, and he could speak more clearly without a lisp. He said he could walk well and always recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good”

I said, “If you are sincere, it will work. Hard work pays off. Keep reciting it, and you will get better.”
