(Minghui.org) I am a 67-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner who was born in a rural area. My mother passed away when I was five years old. Because my father worked out of town, I lived with my stepmother. When I was 12, I was deemed handicapped.
After I grew up, I married a man who was also handicapped. We had two daughters and no one helped me raise them. So, I developed illnesses, such as bronchial asthma, headaches, and a gynecological disease.
As an employee with special needs, I was assigned to work in the mail room. Later our factory was sold and I lost my job. My medical expenses were no longer reimbursed.
I started to practice Falun Dafa on November 14, 1997. I studied Zhuan Falun every day and did the exercises every morning in a park. At noon, I prepared meals for my family of 10. I took care of my mother-in-law and attended Fa study in the afternoon and at night. I never missed a thing.
I returned to good health and had plenty of energy, and my life was happy. My family was amazed at the changes they witnessed after I practiced Dafa.
In July 1999, Jiang Zemin started the persecution of Falun Dafa. Police officers came to my home and demanded that I write a statement giving up my faith. I refused and my mother-in-law supported me.
When I distributed a DVD with information about Falun Dafa and the persecution, I met up with a lady who was a fellow practitioner. She had run out of DVDs, so I told her I would give her 50 of them and asked her to come back at 10:00 a.m. the next day.
At that time, the persecution was quite severe. As soon as we said goodbye, I felt fear. I was wondering whether she was a genuine practitioner. What if she brought a policeman with her? Then I thought I shouldn't be fearful since Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Dafa is with me – Dafa is with me.
Another practitioner who lives in the same area was willing to give the lady the DVDs. Somehow, we missed each other and I didn't dare to go to his home, as his daughter-in-law didn't allow him to see practitioners. I walked around the apartment complex and wondered if he was afraid of doing what I asked of him.
Master asked us to look within and to cultivate ourselves. Indeed, it was me who was afraid, but I blamed him. How selfish I was--he might have forgotten about our appointment. When I thought of this, I felt Master was with me and my fear disappeared. Then I went to the supermarket and saw the practitioner I had met the day before.
Master has already arranged everything for us. Some conflicts will be used to help us let go of our human notions and attachments.
After I talked to a man about Dafa, he said that he wouldn't read the flyer because he was a retired government employee, a Party member, and his pension was over 8,000 yuan a month. He told me that I was involved in politics. He mentioned that he had two sons, that one lived in America and the other one was a government employee in China, and that life was pretty good.
I told him that I was not involved in politics and that I did not want a penny from him, nor did I ask for his help. I just wanted to tell him that Falun Dafa is good and has spread all over the world. I wanted him to know that the Tiananmen self-immolation was staged by the Communist Party and that Jiang Zemin is corrupt and persecutes good people who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Heaven will punish the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and no one can stop heaven, whether he believed it or not.
I then said that when he joined the CCP, he had sworn that he would devote his entire life to it. I suggested that he withdraw from the Party, so he would not be implicated when the Party falls out of power.
Nothing I told him was political. He agreed that I was not getting political and he also agreed to quit the CCP.
This man seemed to have changed and agreed with me about everything I told him. I felt that Master was with me and had given me wisdom. Everything is done by Master.
