(Clearwisdom.net) I am an elementary schoolteacher and have been teaching in the countryside for 38 years. In March 1994, a friend invited me to attend Master's lecture in the county stadium and gave me a ticket. After attending the lecture, my whole body felt refreshed and energized. I also gained a deeper understanding about life.

From then on, before I started my class every day I wrote the words “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” on the top right-hand corner of the blackboard. During the class I often read several paragraphs from the book Zhuan Falun to the students whenever an opportunity arose. The students seemed to enjoy this and often looked to Zhuan Falun for solutions to their personal conflicts. I also taught students to do the exercises during break times. The students' character and behavior changed dramatically. They no longer fought with each other, and my class won the Honored Class award. The classroom was always clean and well organized. The students took Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance as their motto and tried to become better people.

When there was a meeting for all elementary school principals in the township, the township school superintendent asked me to show them how to do the meditation exercise before the meeting. I sat in meditation for more than 30 minutes. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that everyone was sitting on the floor, both inside and outside the office, sitting in meditation. I was deeply touched by their sincerity and enthusiasm to learn the exercise. Many of them said they would begin to practice, and that very day the superintendent threw his cigarettes away and said he would stop smoking. Several principals asked me for a copy of Zhuan Falun so that they could read it when they got home and start to practice.

Just as I was arranging to purchase more copies of Zhuan Falun, the persecution against Falun Gong started.

To help people understand the facts about Falun Gong, I paid to have truth-clarification materials printed many times and gave them to students in my classroom, asking them to bring them back when they had read them so that I could be re-distribute them. Someone was worried about my doing that and said, “The students might be okay with you doing this, but what if their parents report you to the police?” I did not think much about this and was not afraid, either. All parents love their children and are more concerned about their children doing well in school, rather than reporting on a good teacher. Other teachers and the village officials also helped to protect me. I know some parents have said, “She is the best teacher we have.” All this support was due to Master’s care and protection.

For the past 16 years, I have been very healthy and have not needed to take any medicine. I always feel young and energetic. When I was 52 years old, my job organized a tour around Beijing for the employees. Of the 33 people in our tour group, only 19 had enough strength and energy to make it up to the Great Wall, and I was one of them. I am now 65 years old, but when people see me walking, they often comment that I don’t look as if I am in my 60s.

I clarify the facts to my friends, relatives, fellow teachers, classmates, strangers, and even people who attacked me during the Cultural Revolution.

During the summer break in 2009, I went to the northeast of China to visit my elder brother-in-law and cousin. As I traveled there and back, I gave out truth-clarification materials and copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. After learning the facts, some agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. While I was speaking to people on the train, the security officer also came and listened to me for a while. When I arrived at my destination and was about to leave, a passenger insisted on giving me some money to help buy more truth-clarification materials.

Once, a nutritionist accidentally returned 2,800 yuan too much to my family. I immediately returned the money to him the next day. The nutritionist was very happy. I then gave him many truth-clarification materials, which he happily accepted. His whole family then quit the CCP.

I use every opportunity to validate the Fa. I discipline myself and pay attention to what I say and do. By being considerate of others and harmonizing my family relationships, I am trying to leave everyone with a positive impression of Falun Gong.

There were times when I did not do well. When I spoke about Falun Gong to a former high school classmate, she agreed to quit the CCP but refused to accept any truth-clarification materials, saying that they were not helpful. I got very upset, and a practitioner next to me began sending righteous thoughts for me. I calmed down and did not argue with my former classmate. When I returned home and studied Zhuan Falun, Master compassionately arranged for me to read a paragraph specifically about my anger. I sometimes would get angry when fellow practitioners did not come for group Fa-study or take copies of Minghui Weekly. Anger is not something a practitioner should have. I often spoke of having faith in Master and the Fa and remaining steadfast. Why could I not achieve it?

I will regard the Fa as teacher and really let go of my attachments. By doing the exercises and studying the Fa regularly and doing the three things well every day, we will do better and better.
