(Clearwisdom.net) There is an elder practitioner who is nearly 80. Before she started practicing Dafa, she had a lot of rare diseases. After she began practicing Dafa, she became healthy. Even now, she is in good physical condition with a rosy complexion. When the communist regime started to persecute Falun Gong, she persisted in clarifying the truth to people. Here I would like to share some touching stories about her.
When officers from the 610 Office arrested several practitioners, other practitioners went to the 610 Office to demand their release. Dozens of practitioners sat in protest in front of the 610 Office, announcing that if the practitioners weren't released, they wouldn't leave. Authorities from the 610 Office called police officers and armed police and ordered them to forcibly take the practitioners away. However, even four or five strong police officers couldn't move Grandma or pick her up. They were amazed and wondered: "How come an old grandma is so heavy?"
In the early days of truth-clarification, one time Grandma went out with her oldest daughter to post truth-clarification messages. Focused on the thought that the materials would save people, Grandma posted every paper perfectly straight, but her daughter was very nervous and kept looking around to see if they were being watched. All of a sudden, a man riding a motorcycle came towards them and he stopped when he got closer. Grandma's daughter said, "Mom, someone is coming, we should quickly hide." Grandma didn't listen to her, but continued posting the message. After she finished, she turned around and greeted the man: "Hi! Come here, come on over!" The man came closer and asked, "What's up, Grandma?" She said, "Look, I have several fliers that can save people's lives. Why don't you take it and look at it carefully?" He took the fliers, put them into his jacket pocket and said, "Thanks, Grandma, thank you so much! Saving people is a good thing. I'll read them carefully when I get back."
Another time when Grandma was posting messages on utility poles, a black car suddenly stopped beside her. Four officers got out of the car in a very aggressive manner and demanded of her, "What are you doing! Are you posting Falun Gong stuff?" Thinking only of saving them and knowing she was doing the most righteous thing, Grandma said, "What's wrong with posting the truth? What's wrong with that?" The officers appeared to be dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. At that time, another elderly lady came over, and the officers turned to her for help: "Grandma, can you come here? This old lady is posting messages on the utility poles; she is a Falun Gong practitioner." Then the elder practitioner went up to her and said, "You see, I'm only an old lady. What's wrong with saving people and telling them the truth? Look at these young men, they are interfering with me." Then the other grandma turned around and said to the officers, "Why don't you leave and find something else to do? This lady is so old, and yet she comes out to save people. It's not easy for her. Why are you bothering her?" The officers looked embarrassed, quickly got back into the car, and left.
At one point Grandma was illegally arrested and taken to a detention center. She was unmoved and diligently did the exercises, sent righteous thoughts, and also clarified the truth to everyone there. After five or six days, she thought she had saved all the people there and it was time for her to leave, so she lay down on the bed and pretended to be unwell. After all, because she was almost 80-years-old, it would have been natural for a non-practitioner to have health problems. The officers immediately asked for a doctor to check her, and they found that her blood pressure was more than 200, and her heart rate was more than 100. They immediately contacted the police station and also told her family to come and get her.
The day after she was released, Grandma carried several hundred copies of truth-clarification materials to visit her relatives more than 60 miles away. Her relatives were very touched that an 80-year-old lady came all that way to save them. They quickly passed on the materials to others. Later, Grandma visited other relatives and some of her old friends. She stayed there three days and came back with a list of people who agreed to quit the communist regime and its affiliated organizations. In the following days, Grandma stayed at home and studied the Fa. Then she carried a bag of truth-clarification materials to the nearby city. On her way home with only a few copies of materials left, she was reported to the police by people who had been poisoned by the CCP. Under Master's benevolent protection, practitioners in our city soon heard the news that she had been arrested in the nearby city. We sent forth righteous thoughts together for her. In the police station, Grandma clarified the truth to the police officers and sent forth righteous thoughts the rest of the time. Those officers who had been deluded by the regime's lies found the truth refreshing. On the third day, officers from that police station informed the officers in our city to come and pick her up, but the local officers said, "We just sent this grandma back home, and we won't take her. You can send her wherever you want." Finally Grandma came back home again.
In the past ten years, Grandma persisted in doing the same thing. She cooperates with local practitioners and has helped many people understand the truth about the persecution. Every day when she goes out on her pedicab, her neighbors, vegetable vendors and buyers, bike mechanics, shoe repairers, and shop owners (in the farmers' market) all greet her by saying, "Falun Dafa is good!" They also ask her if she has any materials with her and they offer to distribute the materials for her.
There is another elder practitioner in the same study group with Grandma who is already more than 80-years-old. That practitioner has two small rooms, one of which she rents out. She receives more than 100 yuan in rent every month. Except for the money she needs for food, she has a few dozen yuan left that she uses to make truth-clarification materials. One morning, this practitioner rode a pedicab more than 20 miles, traveling to the countryside to distribute truth-clarification materials and save people. All the villagers were greatly moved that she cared so much about them, and they said, "Grandma, how about you take a rest and we can help you to distribute those materials!"
