Reaching Every Village and Home to Spread the Truth and Save Lives

(Minghui.org) I previously suffered from migraines, stomach pain, and varicose veins. A neighbor suggested in 1998, “Why not practice Falun Gong [also called as Falun Dafa] with me?” Life in the countryside was hectic, but during the autumn season I visited a Dafa practice site out of curiosity. I watched the practitioners graceful exercise movements and decided to give it a try. I immediately felt an indescribable sense of peace and comfort.

After practicing Falun Dafa for some time, my health improved significantly, and my mood brightened. I also attended two local Falun Dafa experience-sharing conferences, which tempered my faith in the practice. The noble conduct and demeanor of the practitioners deeply moved me. Falun Dafa is a pure land, and its health benefits are extraordinary. As a result, it quickly gained popularity in our area. More than 50 people bought the Falun Dafa books during that time.

Practitioners throughout the country faced sudden police harassment when cultivating, beginning on December 30 and 31, 1998. To clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to the authorities, thousands of practitioners gathered peacefully outside the Provincial Qigong Association, which had spread defamatory remarks about Falun Gong. Representatives from our group held talks with them, and by the afternoon of December 31 their staff publicly apologized and withdrew their false claims. After reaching an agreement, we left immediately. Some practitioners saw countless Faluns (law wheels) spinning in the sky, and even non-practitioners witnessed them. Many were inspired to begin cultivation in Falun Dafa as a result.

The county police unlawfully arrested a local coordinator on July 19, 1999. Thousands of practitioners went to the county government to appeal. The next day, the township government demanded that Dafa practitioners to sign statements renouncing their practice, but I refused.

My wife later also began practicing Falun Dafa to improve her health. She had been suffering from psoriasis, which gradually was cured after she started cultivating. Her character was also transformed. One spring, a neighbor whose farmland was far from his home asked to swap fields with us, as ours was closer to his home. My wife readily agreed, thinking, “As a practitioner, I should consider others first, even if it means taking a loss.” She always approached situations with kindness and tolerance.

During the harsh winter months, my wife often walked over three miles by herself to neighboring villages to distribute truth clarification materials. She sometimes didn’t return home until the middle of the night. She would say, “If more people can be saved by Master’s compassion, then no matter how cold it is, I have warmth in my heart!”

Our son also believes in the goodness of Dafa and has quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His decision to quit has brought him blessings. Serving in the military for over two decades, he never needed financial help from us, and he now holds the rank of a regiment commander.

During the off-season from farming, I often go with fellow practitioners to dig tree roots, where we meet people and talk to them about quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations to ensure peace and safety. Many are receptive after hearing about the staged Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident and the “Hidden Character Stone” that reveals the truth about the Party. Those who understood agreed to quit and thanked us from deep within their hearts.

In group settings, such as collective farming tasks, others would scramble for seats on the transport trucks, while fellow practitioners and I stayed behind to clean up the tools before boarding. By then, there were no seats left. Observing this, people often praised us remarking, “Falun Dafa is great!”

I encountered situations while working odd jobs where the wages I received were less than what others earned for similar work. At first, I felt unsettled, thinking, “I worked harder than others. Why is my pay lower?” I then remembered Master’s teachings on the principles of loss and gain. I let go of my attachments and accepted whatever I received. My diligent and honest work earned the respect of both my employers and coworkers, who came to recognize the goodness of Dafa, and they often agreed to quit the CCP.

Even during the bitter cold of winter, I drove my three-wheeler over 20 miles to remote villages to distribute Falun Dafa materials. In the icy landscapes of northeastern China, the freezing temperatures often left my hands and feet numb, my hair and face frosted white, with ice even forming on my eyebrows. Yet, my heart remained warm. On one occasion, a practitioner and I ventured over six miles through more than foot-deep snow to deliver materials to every household. I noticed the materials emitting a radiant glow, and I knew Master was encouraging us. Though we didn’t return until 2 a.m., the hardship was worth it to help save others.

We’ve visited countless villages and towns over the past two decades, spreading the truth about Falun Dafa. Our tricycle has been upgraded from a small one to a larger model, and our efforts have expanded from local villages to neighboring counties.

Looking back, I am deeply grateful for Master’s protection and guidance, which has allowed me to walk this path steadily despite trials and tribulations. In the limited time ahead I vow to cultivate diligently, fulfill my vows, and follow Master back home.
