(Minghui.org) My younger sister understood that Falun Dafa is good and the persecution is wrong, and she is a very kind person. She had been very supportive of my cultivation in Dafa. We do not live near each other, so it has not always been easy for us to meet. After I was released following being illegally detained for a few years, and she seemed unwilling to get close to me.
Our older sister was harassed many times due to her cultivation in Falun Dafa, and she had become bedridden because of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. My younger sister had kindly gone to help her many times. After going to my older sister’s place, I started helping her to study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts, and I looked after her day and night. It was very tough.
During this period of time, I had a chat with my older sister’s daughter-in-law. I talked about the goodness of Dafa, and why I can still believe in Dafa despite the persecution: “Dafa taught me how to be a good person, and being a good person based on Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is such a wonderful thing. I grew up under the toxic influence of the evil Party culture for more than 30 years, I did not know how to care for others and I was selfish. Dafa changed me. My deepest realization of this was when I treated my mother-in-law sincerely after learning Dafa.”
“From the bottom of my heart, I know that I need to be a good person and I should treat others well. Dafa also elevated my morality. It’s such a good practice, and I benefited from it both physically and mentally. No matter how evil the persecution is, it cannot change my faith in Falun Dafa. I believe in it. Dafa is good. We want to tell everyone about the goodness of Dafa and raise awareness of the persecution. Your mother-in-law sacrificed a lot to clarify the truth and save people, but she was reported by someone, resulting in her being persecuted to this state. But she did nothing wrong, so we must treat her well.”
We had a very sincere conversation. Two days later, she told me that after that chat, she felt as though everything suddenly clicked for her. She told her husband, “You see, our mother has so many sisters but only this aunt (referring to me) sacrificed so much. Even our efforts are not able to match hers. Quickly go and buy some nice food, and give it to her. She works so hard. People who learn Falun Dafa are really good!”
After a few days, my younger sister rushed over from out of town to visit our older sister. When she saw me, she no longer behaved like she had in the past, instead she seemed somewhat distant. I knew that this was caused by the CCP’s persecution. One day, after dinner, I went out to see someone but that person was not home, so I returned. My younger sister asked me why I came back so quickly, I laughed and replied, “I came back for you.” After a while, I added one line, “Coming for you.” I did not expect that her attitude would suddenly change that night and we began to converse affectionately.
My younger sister said that there had been something bad that had been blocking her. When I said, “Coming for you,” she was deeply moved and wanted to talk to me more. The words “coming for you” moved her. When I thought about it, that was true. Every time I returned to our hometown, I would go to her house to stay so that I could tell her about the goodness about Dafa and tell her not to be scared even though Dafa practitioners are persecuted. I would also bring truth-clarification materials for her. This went on for many years.
One day, she said over the phone, “Why don’t I bring you here in my car so that you can have a good rest at my house? Seeing you work so hard to look after our older sister without a decent rest, I feel so sad thinking about you being so tired that you fall asleep as you lay on the sofa. I cried and said to my husband that I regret not bringing you back in my car.”
I was very touched by my younger sister’s compassion and sincerity, so a few days later, I went over to her house. That night, the couple took out their precious and distinctive wild mountain vegetables to make dumplings. I said that I felt like writing something, and my younger sister asked me to write in another room. I wrote a letter to them, telling them about the persecution and the wonderfulness of Dafa again.
The next morning, after finishing breakfast, I said, “I wrote a letter for both of you yesterday to give you a surprise today. I will read it out now. The topic of the letter is ‘Coming for you.’” I read, “Crossing thousands mountains and rivers, again and again I come for you, because I love you.” Reading till here, I choked up. Both of us cried. I then continued, “In the face of violent threats, again and again I have come for you, because I love you. Please listen closely to the voice from the bottom of my heart: Falun Dafa is good!”
This long letter described the CCP’s nature, the CCP-staged Tiananmen self-immolation hoax, clearly explained quitting the CCP and its youth organizations to attain peace and safety, and the meaning of life. After I finished reading the letter, I told them that I had written a poem for them. I read, “I have no glamorous attire, nor a single flattering photograph; yet amidst peril, Master guides my way, and Dafa renders me incomparably strong ...”
Afterward, my younger sister wanted to buy me some clothes and she took me to a high-end shopping mall. I told her that I could not make her spend so much money and we returned home. That afternoon, I told her that if she sincerely wanted to buy clothes for me, we could go to a general shopping mall. There, a pair of pants cost slightly more than 100 yuan ($14). I thought that should satisfy my younger sister’s wish. However, she still insisted on helping me. When I was leaving, she told me that she had placed 1,000 yuan in my backpack for me to buy some clothes. I was touched by her kindness.
She then called our other older sister and told her that I am quite remarkable and that she quite admires me. I told the older sister that it was Dafa that taught me how to be a good person and handle things based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. This is because Falun Dafa is good. Please remember, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
