How a Strong-willed and Quick-tempered Person Became a Filial Daughter-in-law

(Minghui.org) I used to be strong-willed and quick-tempered and would argue and confront others to gain the upper hand in everything. Even when I was young, I was known in our area for getting into physical fights and using bad language. 

After I got married, we lived with my in-laws. My mother-in-law had a hard time putting up with my moodiness and bad behavior. We often quarreled, which put my husband in a difficult position. 

My Resentment Leads to Family Disputes

When I became pregnant, I had severe morning sickness and later suffered from edema (swelling in the legs and feet), making it impossible to wear shoes. I also developed numerous ailments such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anemia. My belly grew so big that I couldn’t see my navel when looking down. 

I eventually gave birth to twins, and my mother-in-law complained about the additional burden. The severe edema during pregnancy and giving birth to twins caused my abdomen to sag very badly. I had brown spots all over my face, and I looked like an old woman. 

During my postpartum period, nobody in my husband’s family took care of me or the twins, so I had no choice but to wash their diapers myself. The physical work and mental stress made me susceptible to illness and I had a prolapsed uterus. I tried both Chinese and Western remedies, but no doctors or surgery could fix it. I almost collapsed physically. Twice, I thought about ending my life, but eventually gave up that idea because I couldn’t abandon my babies. 

When my twins were one month old, I felt so angry with the lack of support that I moved out of my in-laws’ home and went to stay with my parents. By then, I was so weak all I could do was lie in bed all day in a stupor. My mother’s health had never been good and she had arthritis in her neck. Her neck was stiff and she couldn’t lower her head. 

I had a lot of resentment towards my in-laws because I believed my physical condition was due to their neglect. I refused to go to their house, and even prohibited my husband from visiting his own family. I wouldn’t even allow my mother-in-law to see our children.

Falun Dafa Changed Me into a Different Person

My mother started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Before long, the arthritis in her neck disappeared, along with her other ailments. She never needed to see doctors again.

One night, when my husband saw my mother carrying both twins at once—our daughter on her front and our son on her back—he was deeply moved. He suggested that I should start practicing Falun Dafa, and he would take care of the children. So I went to the practice site with my mother that night. After practicing for just a month, miracles happened—my dizziness, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anemia were all cured. 

One day when I was meditating, I had stomach pain and felt nauseous, and then I passed out. When I woke up, to my great surprise, my uterus had gone back to its normal position, and my loose belly skin seemed to be tighter. In addition, my face started getting fairer and more youthful than before, and even my voice became younger.

Falun Dafa’s healing power is truly remarkable! These profound changes in me prompted my family members, friends, and colleagues to start learning Falun Dafa.

My Resentment Disappeared

Master not only purified my body, but also elevated my morality and character. I learned how to consider others first, look inward when facing conflicts, be kind, and have a broad mind. After realizing that my past behavior toward my in-laws was wrong, I apologized to my mother-in-law. Every time I visited her, I did chores for her, and washed not only her clothes and shoes, but also those of my younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law. My resentment toward my mother-in-law disappeared.

Sometimes she would talk about how I used to behave, but instead of arguing with her, I treated it as a test and an opportunity to improve my character. Our conflicts were resolved, and she even began to read Zhuan Falun, the main teaching of Falun Dafa.

On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a brutal persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners. My in-laws were afraid that their son might be implicated, so they tried to pressure him to divorce me and cut off ties with us. I didn’t feel angry or resentful because I understood that they were scared, and it was the evil CCP that was truly wicked!

I shared the truth about Falun Dafa with them, and explained that those who repeated these false accusations against Falun Dafa practitioners would be punished by heaven. Falun Dafa practitioners only want to be good people, and have committed no crimes. They understood the truth and changed their attitude toward Dafa.

My Husband Escapes from Danger

My husband benefited the most from supporting my faith in Dafa. He is an electrician. One day, while fixing a cable, he mistakenly thought the power was off and began working on it. Suddenly, a large fireball shot out of his hands with a loud explosion, but he was unharmed. People who witnessed this incident came to believe that Falun Dafa’s miraculous power had protected my husband, and that supporting Dafa could bring blessings.

Another night, I came home to find my husband lying in bed, drenched in sweat; his face was pale, and he couldn’t speak. I urged him to immediately ask Master to save him, and told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” Although I couldn’t hear him, I knew that he was silently reciting these phrases in his heart.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and cried out, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! I must become a good person!” Tears rolled down my cheeks, knowing that Master had just saved my husband once again! 

My Father Breaks Free from Spirit Possession

Since I was young, my father had been possessed by some entities. Sometimes, when he was controlled by these entities, he would argue with my mother, alternating between male and female voices. This terrified me, and I would cling to my mother’s leg, crying loudly. I remember one time my father poured alcohol all over the floor and wanted to set fire to the house. My mother prevented him from doing so, leading to a physical struggle between them. He often physically abused my mother.

Shortly after my mother and I began to practice Falun Dafa, my mother called me one night and told me to come home quickly because my father had just hung himself in the bathroom and locked the door. I told my mother to ask Master for help! I was not worried as I knew Master would help him.

The next day, my mother told me, “After I hung up the phone, I asked Master to save your father. As a result, the rope came loose up by itself and he fell down. I pried open the locked door and found your father unconscious. I read Master’s lectures to him until he regained consciousness.” Mother and I put our palms together in front of our chests [a traditional gesture of respect and gratitude] to thank Master: “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!” Since then, my father has never been tormented by spirit possession again.

Thanks to Master’s merciful protection, my family and I now enjoy good health, happiness, and harmony. We are grateful to Master, who has given us a happy and fulfilled family.
