(Minghui.org) I'm a civil engineer in my sixties. I live in a rural area. My wife started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Having experienced quite a few communist “struggles,” I became very fearful. I tried to persuade my wife to stop her practice as soon as the persecution began in July 1999. I worried about anything that could potentially make her or our family subject to abuse by the authorities.
My wife was illegally arrested a few years ago for talking to people about Falun Gong and was detained once. I was angered and blamed her.
She once told our relatives about Falun Dafa and asked them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I was upset about this and tried to force her to give up her belief. She refused, and I hit her very hard.
No matter how hard I hit her, she would not give up Falun Dafa. I grabbed her by the ear and dragged her outside of our house, nearly ripping her ear off. I hit her so badly that she said later that her back shoulder blade was dislocated and she was unable to lift her left arm up. However, her injuries were healed several days later without any medical treatment.
I incurred severe insomnia soon after. I could initially sleep several hours per night, but gradually slept less and less. I spent nearly 10,000 yuan for medical treatments, but had no improvement.
My relative introduced me to a famous Chinese medicine professor last year. I took over 70 doses from his prescriptions, but still didn't experience any relief.
My wife and I stayed in my elder daughter’s house which was in the city in January 15 of the Chinese lunar calendar. I suddenly could not sleep at all - day or night. I always felt the room was too small and I was very depressed. Although the window was open to let fresh air come in I still felt suffocated.
My wife and I were visiting our eldest daughter during the Chinese New Year this year. I often felt that the bedroom was too small and I could hardly breathe. We thought our big house and backyard in our hometown would solve the problem, so we moved back.
But the problem persisted. I could not sleep for three days straight. My pain was beyond what words could describe.
My wife saw my suffering and encouraged me to try Falun Dafa. I had heard about its effect of healing. Not seeing any other option, I began to read Zhuan Falun on February 19, 2014. I fell asleep after finishing half of the book.
In my dream, a group of ugly headless ghosts haunted me. Some used knives to attempt to chop off my arms. Some wanted to take off my legs. I was very scared and I held my wife and screamed: “Save me! They want to take my life.”
My wife then told me to recite “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I kept saying that for a while. I suddenly saw Master come and the area surrounding him was very bright.
Master looked exactly the same as on his lecture videos. All the ghosts were in a panic and quickly retreated.
Master asked me seriously: “Will you follow the CCP or practice Falun Dafa?” I looked at the ghosts on the other side and saw simply darkness and terror.
I said: “I want to practice Falun Dafa, Master, but will you accept me? I burned Dafa books and beat up your student. I am guilty of committing crimes.” I slapped my face very hard to show my deep regret.
Master smiled and nodded his head. My wife then sent righteous thoughts for me. As soon as the word of “Mie” (elimination) was uttered, all the ghosts instantly disappeared.
My insomnia is now completely gone. I go to work at my construction place during the day and study the Fa and do the exercises in the evening. I lead a solid and pleasant life. Sometimes I accompany my wife to hand out informational materials to inform people about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
I finally began to cultivate Falun Dafa, and came to understand why my wife would not give up her practice regardless of the circumstances. Falun Dafa granted me health and taught me how to be a good person: No matter what we do, we should consider others first and be a good person at all times by adhering to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to our venerable and compassionate Master! Thank you, Master!
