(Minghui.org) My two brothers took turns caring for our mother in their homes after our father passed away in 2001.
Our mother used to struggle with all kinds of illnesses, especially serious cerebral arteriosclerosis. She felt dizzy all the time, and she would fall if she turned too fast.
As a result of the medicines she took, her kidney was damaged and she became incontinent. Every time when I visited her in my brothers’ homes, I felt awful to see her. Her lips and face looked purple.
At the time, the persecution of Falun Dafa was at its height. My husband and I were forced to live away from home to hide from the police. When we visited our mother again in spring, my younger brother had just purchased an apartment. My elder brother later helped us buy an apartment in the same building as my younger brother’s so that my husband and I could have a safe place to stay.
As my mother stayed with my younger brother, when everyone went to work, I would study Dafa and practice the exercises with her. She quickly picked up the movements because she had practiced Dafa for a period of time before the persecution began in 1999.
Because my mother was illiterate, I read the book to her and also played the lecture audiotapes for her to listen to. Her health improved shortly after and she gradually stopped taking her medicine.
When my elder brother came to visit her, my mother told him that she no longer took medicine. He looked at her in disbelief, but as she looked so much better, he did not say anything.
During a family dinner, my elder brother, a section-level Chinese Communist Party cadre, got a little drunk and lost his temper: “You two bastards! Why do you stop Mother from taking her medicine! Don’t you know how serious her illness is?”
My husband and I did not argue with him. After he calmed down, he felt a bit embarrassed for his behavior: “Falun Dafa exercises do work. Our mother is improving with a healthy glow on her face now.”
Mother said to him: “How much money can I save you if I don’t have to take the medicine? Do not blame Falun Dafa. You should all remember Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
As my mother continued to practice Dafa, her body went through several rounds of purification and all her illnesses went away. She had no more dizziness. Her shoulder was no longer painful and she could raise her arms to comb her own hair.
After witnessing mother’s change, my elder brother and other relatives all know that Falun Dafa is good and agreed to quit the CCP and its related organizations.
