(Minghui.org) I am a 69-year-old farmer in Shandong Province. I started practicing Falun Gong, an ancient mind-body practice also known as Falun Dafa, in 1996.
The idea of “education is useless” was highly promoted during the cultural revolution period. Thus, I only attended three years at an elementary school and did not learn many things.
When I started to learn Falun Gong, I could only read a few words in Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Gong). I could do nothing but just listen to other practitioners reading at the group studies.
With the help of my daughter who was in middle school at that time, I learned how to use the dictionary and how to read and write word by word. Master (the founder of Falun Gong) gave me wisdom in the process. It did not take me too long before I could read almost every word in Zhuan Falun and other Fa teachings. I could not believe that I could do it. It was really a miracle. For that, I thank Master very much.
As I studied the Fa more, I learned that a true cultivator must surpass the standards for being a good person. I strove to meet the requirements for a cultivator and refrain from arguing with my family, relatives, and friends.
Master said,
“You did not fight back when hit or talk back when cursed at.” (Fa-Teaching Given at the Conference in Sydney)
My husband is not a practitioner, but he has firmly supported my practice.
My home is our local weekly group Fa study site. On every Fa study day, my husband gets up early to help me warm up the study room and festively greets fellow practitioners.
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution in 1999, I have been harassed often, especially in those so-called Sensitive Days. My husband always reminded me to be careful because he knew the CCP is very vicious. When the police officers knocked on our door, he stood up for me every time.
One day in 2015 after I filed a lawsuit against the former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin, a policeman came to search for Dafa materials in my house. My husband sternly stopped the officer and said, “What is wrong with practicing Falun Gong? I wish I could be as good as the Falun Gong practitioners.”
As a sanitation worker, my husband often encountered practitioners and received a lot of Dafa information materials. He read them first and then brought them home for me. When he picked up any Dafa banner that was tossed on the ground, he would hang them up on the tree. He has also stopped several people from reporting practitioners for distributing materials.
Master said, “Haven’t I said that with one person practicing, the whole family benefits?” (Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia)
My family has greatly benefited from Dafa. I would like to share with you the story of how my husband recovered from his late-stage liver cancer.
In June 2019, my husband started to lose appetite and appeared tired. He stood at 5 feet 7 inches, but only weighed 112 pounds. He later was examined at the Qingdao Hospital and was confirmed to have late-stage liver cancer.
We checked him into a nearby county hospital for convenience of care. Ten days later on September 9, 2019, the doctor said that my husband would not be able to live through the Lunar Mid-Autumn Day (which was September 13). He was discharged from the hospital.
Our children took leaves of absence to spend much of their time with their father at home. It also pained my heart to see his suffering. I sincerely said to him, “You have suffered the tribulation for months now. I think only Master can save you. Why not give it a try by listening to Master's Fa teachings?” He agreed.
I played Master's Fa teachings to him every day. He also listened to the Dafa disciples' cultivation stories. The more he listened, the more he liked them.
Slowly, he could sit up and then get out of bed to walk. His appetite increased and, gradually, his face turned ruddy. The swellings in his abdomen and legs disappeared. His late-stage liver cancer miraculously disappeared.
He gained back more than 20 pounds. He became healthy and was able to do housework.
Today, the most important thing for him is to listen to Master's lectures every day. He also likes to read the miracle stories about Dafa's healing power. He often recites “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My family has witnessed another Dafa miracle. Seeing his condition today, everyone in our village feels it is incredible and amazing! I tell them that Dafa's Master saved his life. The profound Dafa also gives me a harmonious family.
Thank you, revered Master, for your immense compassion.
