Dafa Saved Me When My Life Was Hopeless

(Minghui.org) I live in a small town in northeastern China. My husband and I had a son in the early 1990s and when my son was about seven or eight, my husband had an affair. I got pregnant again in early 1999. My husband wanted to divorce me and marry a divorced woman. Because I refused, he would often beat me. Once, he kicked me in the back with his leather shoes and damaged my upper back. Since then, I often had severe pain in my upper back. When the pain came, I couldn’t breathe or do anything.

We quarreled from time to time, but I adamantly refused to a divorce because I did not want my child to have only one parent. One day when I was eight months pregnant, he suddenly went to kick my stomach with his leather shoes. He thought that if I lost the child, I would agree to divorce him. But I saw his kick in time to quickly ward off his foot with my right arm. As a result, my arm was all blue and bruised the next day.

I gave birth to a healthy girl in December 1999. I developed various diseases not long afterward, including inflammation of my gallbladder and stomach, gallbladder polyps, stomach ulcers, and muscle weakness in both my legs. The pain in my upper back from being kicked still continues. One day, I was seriously ill and asked my husband to take me to the hospital. He refused, not wanting to pay for my medical treatment. I was heartbroken and really didn’t want to live anymore.

For years, I lived in a desperate state. In April 2004, someone introduced me to Falun Dafa and gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun. She also taught me the five sets of exercises. I didn’t know anything about Falun Dafa, but I started to practice the exercises and study the Fa diligently. I was hoping that my illnesses could be cured without spending any money.

Amazingly, my stomach problems were gone in about a week, and my other diseases gradually disappeared as well. I strictly followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and my xinxing improved. Through Fa study, I understood that people have a predestined relationship. So I no longer felt resentment towards my husband.

I became healthy and was able to save the money I previously spent on medical treatment. I bought a printer with the money and made informational materials so that I could share the beauty of Dafa with more people.

In September 2012, I was arrested and sentenced to more than three years in prison. My printer and Dafa materials were confiscated. During my imprisonment, my husband spent all my savings—more than 100,000 yuan—on a young woman. He also accumulated more than 300,000 yuan in debts.

I returned home from prison in 2016, and my husband again asked me for a divorce. I felt so hurt— it’s very hard to describe my emotional distress back then. We got divorced in December 2017. After the divorce, he often came back to bother me, but I treated him kindly. Last winter, he had a heart attack while driving a freight truck and passed away. My faith in Dafa supported me through that period of time.

My daughter used to have resentment towards her father, and I taught her to let go of it. Inspired by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, she became kind and cheerful. She was admitted to an average junior college that had low tuition fees. She attended the classes for one year and then finished her studies online at home during the pandemic. Many of her classmates had a hard time finding a job, but my daughter had job offers from several state-owned enterprises. She chose the one with the best benefits. She also met her boyfriend at that company. We are all grateful to Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, for these blessings.
