Remembering an Encounter With a Woman Taxi Driver

Feb. 7, 2022 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) After leaving a supermarket one afternoon, I looked for a taxi. A taxi soon stopped right in front of me.

The driver was a woman with her mask on. I couldn’t see her face well, but she looked at me as if she knew me. I felt like I may have met her before, so I got into her taxi without worrying.

The driver said, “Auntie, I recognized you before you got in my car. You haven’t changed in so many years!” I asked her how she had met me. She said that she would never forget it. She described in detail what I was wearing on the day we met. She even remembered that my pants had stripes, and that I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa while riding in her taxi.

Her description helped me remember meeting the taxi driver. It was over ten years ago, before I retired. I’m now in my 70s.

We chatted just like family members who hadn’t seen each other in years. She said, “I really enjoy listening to stories of Falun Dafa! When I couldn’t sleep at night, I thought of you sometimes, and I’m sure that I will never forget what you told me. All of you Falun Dafa practitioners are so compassionate. I know some of you have been detained in forced labor camps, or lost your jobs for not giving up your practice, but you hold firmly on to your belief. I have been touched by the brochures you distributed. I truly admire you!” The woman kept praising Falun Dafa practitioners’ compassion. Tears came to my eyes.

Pointing at a lucky charm, she told me that she had kept the lucky charm I had given her, and she didn’t want to throw it away, although the charm was broken. She also told me that she had kept the Falun Dafa brochures given to her by practitioners.

Before I got out of the car, she took off her mask, and reminded me to stay safe! I noticed that her eyes were wet too. She gave me one of her name cards, and asked me to remember her.

Her words warmed my heart. I was so touched by her concern because of the persecution. I reminded her to remember “Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” because this message could save lives. She said she would.

As I watched her drive away, an unforgettable feeling of happiness filled my heart. I wish her peace and blessings for her understanding and respect for Falun Dafa and practitioners. I hope we will see each other again!
