[Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] My Husband Firmly Supports Me in Practicing Dafa Despite the Ongoing Persecution

(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa 27 years ago, I had metastatic cancer twice over the course of 30 years. I relied on medicine to manage my condition, all the while knowing that I could die at any time. However, after I started practicing Dafa, my body was purified by Master, and I was given the chance to live an illness-free and happy life.

Alhough my husband doesn’t practice Dafa, he supports me in my practice, and protects me. As a result, he has received blessings. I would like to share his story.

My husband, now in his 80s, witnessed my transformation from a dying patient to a healthy individual within a short period. This change also relieved him from the hours he used to spend preparing Chinese medicine for me. He was amazed by the healing power of Dafa, and supported my practice, despite the ongoing persecution of Dafa that began in 1999. His righteous support and willingness to stand up against the persecution became well-known among our neighbors and local practitioners.

On July 16, 2000, our local police conducted a search throughout a city park for Falun Gong practitioners. They also cleared out members of the general public, including my husband, who were there for entertainment activities. He felt this treatment was unfair. In response, he and nearly 100 people went to the district police department to confront the police, and pointed out that it was wrong for them to target Falun Gong practitioners in that way. Thanks to their strong public voice, the police allowed the entertainment activities to resume in the park.

I was arrested at another park around the same time. After finding my whereabouts, my husband went to the police station the next day to demand my release. He condemned the police chief for persecuting me, and shortly after the chief agreed to release me. The police ordered me to report back to them every day for a month. However, the husband said to me, “You didn’t violate any law in practicing Falun Gong. Don’t go.” Later a veteran police officer approached me and pleaded for my cooperation, saying that he was retiring soon and didn’t want to have a bad record. After his repeated requests, my husband accompanied me to the police station for five days but then we stopped going.

In 2001, the city government ordered all Falun Gong practitioners on their blacklist to write statements renouncing Falun Gong. My husband reminded me not to cooperate with them in any way. Whenever the police or people from my workplace came to my home, my husband would speak with them, while I stayed in the room to send righteous thoughts. The harassment lasted about five months and ended in 2002, thanks to Master’s protection. No one ever asked me to write a renouncement statement again.

In the beginning, before we had a home-based materials printing site, I often visited the print shop to photocopy the materials, sometimes making hundreds of copies at once. My husband helped me carry the materials home, to avoid attracting attention from the police. Once I learned how to print the materials at home, he would purchase the copy paper for me and help me fold the flyers. When we started printing our messages on paper currency, he also helped me collect small bills, and would spend them.

In the past few years, my husband often accompanied me when I went out to distribute the flyers. On one occasion someone reported us, but my husband managed to return home without being caught. He quickly transferred all of my Dafa books and materials to other places. So when the police came to search our home in the afternoon, they found nothing. In fact, the police even apologized to my husband. He took the opportunity to help the officer understand the facts about the persecution. Later on, in another incident in which I was involved, that officer came to our home and reminded my husband to transfer any Dafa materials before the police operations took place.

There was a security person at my workplace who didn’t understand the facts about the persecution, and he often called me a criminal in front of my coworkers, and warned them to stay away from me. My husband found his behavior intolerable, so I reminded him there that would be would karmic retribution for persecuting a Dafa practitioner. Three months later, the security officer died in his home.

Ten years ago, staffers from the residential committee often came to harass me during major holidays or political meetings. When they ordered us to stay home, my husband would respond, “We need to go out to buy groceries, or what will we eat?” Eventually, he directly asked them to stop coming, and they did indeed stop their harassment. As a result, the environment changed so much for the better.

Just like the few instances mentioned above when my husband helped me relocate Dafa books, he also passed out Dafa materials to his friends and family members, and urged them to quit the Chinese Communist Party. After my arrest, he reminded me not to disclose any information about other practitioners to the police. His encouragement and reminder were invaluable in helping me to stay firm in practicing Dafa in the face of adversity.

Under the communist regime’s dark terror, many people have chosen to stay silent in the face of persecution, or even worked with the police to torture and transform us. However, my husband stands firmly by my side, and seeks justice for me. It takes tremendous courage to do so. His righteous support not only bolsters my spirit, but also brings him blessings from Dafa.

In 1995, a well-known fortune teller informed my husband and me that my husband would soon die. This news dealt our family a hard blow, and we were at a loss about what to do.Two years later, I began practicing Dafa and have been busy with cultivation and truth-clarification since. Over 20 years have since passed and nothing predicted by the fortune teller ever happened. My husband has remained healthy without any major illnesses. We both believe that Master changed his fate and extended his life.

My husband fell in the living room two years ago and was unable to get up. He told me that he had been feeling weak in his limbs for the past few days, which worried me. I wondered if he had suffered a stroke and asked if he had any injuries. He said he was fine. I tried to help him stand up, but couldn’t manage it. With no one else around to help us, he began to recite the auspicious phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” After a short while, he was able to stand up by himself with no pain or discomfort.

Over the next two months, he fell three more times, but each time he was able to stand up on his own without any injuries after reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” I told him that I believed Master was protecting him.

My husband has since kept a Dafa amulet with him, and often recites the auspicious phrases. He didn’t fall again for over a year.

In recent months, his condition began to deteriorate. His feet became swollen and discolored, and his mouth appeared crooked. However, when the doctor examined him, they couldn’t find anything wrong with him, so they sent him back home without giving him any treatment.

After my husband returned home, I asked him what he was thinking during the hospital examinations. He told me that he was reciting in his mind, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” I laughed and said, “You have been supporting Dafa for all these years, so Master blessed you by extending your life and giving you good health. So many people long for good health but can’t have it. You are really lucky to be blessed by Dafa.”

Thank you, Master, for your compassionate protection and salvation on my cultivation path!
