(Clearwisdom.net) I am a veteran practitioner who has been practicing Falun Dafa since 1995. After I got married in 1996, I always hoped that my wife would practice Dafa with me. My wife is a compassionate and stubborn person. Perhaps there was something wrong with my xinxing, because my hope did not come true for a long time.

After July 20, 1999, the day that the CCP began persecuting Dafa, my wife and I went through the process of divorce and remarriage. My wife was hit very hard by these emotional issues. Compounded by the many years of threats and harassment by the CCP, it made someone as healthy as my wife begin to experience mental problems. It also caused her to have more hatred and misunderstanding toward Dafa.

However, I did not give up on her. Whenever there was a chance, I would try to tell her about the persecution. Sometimes we would wake up in the middle of a night, when our children were still sleeping, and I would talk to her about the persecution. At the same time, I would send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference by the evil factors. After several years, her thinking gradually changed.

One morning in April 2008, I was about to go to work. I gave her my electronic book and said, "Could you please put it somewhere for me? And if you have time, take a look at it, too." Then I went to work. Perhaps it was just the right time, because since that day, she really began studying the Fa, and she could not put it down. Later she asked, "How come I never discovered before that Dafa is so good?"

Since she stepped into cultivation, my wife has been very diligent in studying the Fa. Whenever she has time, she studies. She does not only study Zhuan Falun but also other lectures that Master taught before and after 1999, and she has studied some of them multiple times. Sometimes she recites the poems from Hong Yin even when she cooks. She said, "My body doesn't feel good if I don't study the Fa every day." Now she gets up at 3 a.m. every morning to study the Fa and do the exercises. On the other hand, I, as a veteran practitioner, cannot wake up on time every morning and sometimes she has to wake me up.

Besides studying the Fa, she is also very active in validating Dafa. When she first started to send forth righteous thoughts, she heard sounds of things falling down in other dimensions. At first, she wrote about her personal experience of practicing Dafa and distributed that. After I told her that doing that might be unsafe, she decided to get a stamp that said "Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" and stamp it on paper money. She went to an engraving shop and told the merchant what she wanted. She also told the lady good things about practicing Dafa and how she had benefited from practicing Dafa both physically and spiritually. The lady was hesitant at first, but was then touched by her righteous thoughts and made it for her. After my wife got home, she told me, "Really, if our minds are on the Fa, anything will come true!" Since then, she had stamped and spent a lot of money with "Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" on it.

Right before the Beijing Olympics, the CCP was very afraid that practitioners would go to Beijing to protest the persecution of Falun Gong. A deputy secretary in my workplace somehow got my personal ID card, which is required for just about everything. My wife said that I should not have given up when facing the evil forces. Later, her workplace asked for her ID and she refused with righteous thoughts.

In everyday life, my wife is a very quick person with a clear mind. This is also evident when she hands out Dafa materials to expose the persecution. Once in a while, she takes some materials to distribute, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night, in all kinds of locations. Thanks to Master's looking after her, every time it has gone very smoothly. She told me, "It also takes wisdom to distribute materials. From now on, you make them and I'll go distribute them, so that we both take part in validating the Fa." Our local coordinator saw that she was quite diligent and thus assigned an area to her and another practitioner to distribute Dafa materials.

Of course, my wife does have many things that she is not yet satisfied with. For instance, she cannot cross her legs in the full lotus position; sometimes she cannot stay calm when she talks to our kids and gets very angry at them. She also has many attachments that need to be eliminated. A while ago, a fellow practitioner was arrested. All the practitioners had a discussion about it and came to an agreement to expose this evil action by putting up notices in areas near us as well as on the Internet. My wife had a different opinion of what we should have done. But soon after, that fellow practitioner got out of the jail with a righteous mind. My wife said thoughtfully, "I was thinking that we should first try to persuade the police, and then after some time put up the notices. Now it looks like the veteran practitioners did the right thing. I really do see the gap now."

Since my wife began cultivation, our family life has been in great harmony. Both children became young practitioners. I hope that our family will continue walking on the path of validating the Fa and do better and better. We will live up to Master's great compassion by working hard to save more and more sentient beings.
