[Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] Thanks to My Wife Practicing Dafa, I'm a Better Person and I’m Free of the CCP’s Lies

(Minghui.org) My wife practices Falun Dafa. Although I do not practice, I have benefited a lot from Dafa. After the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) began persecuting Falun Dafa, my family suffered. After reading Master Li Hongzhi’s new article “How Humankind Came To Be,” I had a better understanding of our tribulations, and my resentment over the way we were treated disappeared. 

Stand on the Side of Goodness and Justice 

I am an ordinary worker, my wife is a teacher, and we had a happy family. When the CCP launched the nationwide persecution against Dafa, my family was targeted. Because my wife refused to give up her beliefs, she was repeatedly illegally detained, sentenced, fired from her workplace, and forced to divorce (we later remarried). My home was shattered by persecution and almost on the verge of being destroyed. 

Under pressure from all sides, I went with the flow, helped the evil to do bad, and did many wrong things. I destroyed images of Master Li, destroyed the books of Falun Dafa, and slandered Dafa and Master Li. Here, I apologize to Master Li (I have published a “solemn statement” on the Minghui website, stating that all my previous words and deeds that slandered Dafa are nullified). 

I did everything to stop my wife from practicing and made her life difficult. Especially after she was released from prison, I didn’t allow her to read the Dafa books or practice. I also forbade her to contact fellow practitioners. She was not allowed to go out, and her personal freedom was restricted. She felt like she exchanged the big prison for a small prison. 

I said to her many times, “You can’t fight the CCP! It’s too powerful. We are ordinary people. Let’s just live our lives! Can you change reality?” Unmoved, she said, “Falun Dafa is wonderful! It can resolve illnesses. There is nothing wrong with believing in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance! There’s nothing wrong with being a good person!” 

To me, she just seemed very stubborn, and refused to listen to my advice. She suffered such big losses, but still refused to give up practicing. Her good job was gone, her family was shattered, yet she continued to practice. It was really incomprehensible to me. I treated her harshly every day, deliberately embarrassing her, and ridiculing her. Sometimes I hit and scolded her. I did everything I could to force her to give up cultivation. After a month of her being home from prison, I had pressured her so hard she left. 

Before she left, she wrote me a letter explaining the goodness and preciousness of Falun Dafa and urging me not to listen to the lies broadcast on the CCP media slandering Falun Dafa. Even though I treated her badly and embarrassed her all the time, she never resented me. She still cared about me, and took care of me. Her kind words and deeds made me reflect on myself. After she left, I felt lost. 

After a year, persuaded by my children and me, she returned home. My attitude towards her also changed a lot. I no longer prevented her from reading the teachings or doing the exercises. She showed me how to get on the Internet, and encouraged me to watch positive videos, read the truth, and listen to traditional culture stories. My horizons opened, my mind broadened a lot, and my worldview changed. In the past, I was a cowardly and fearful person. Like many people, I lived my own life, not paying attention to other things. 

Since I realized the truth about Dafa, many of my negative thoughts were eliminated. I suddenly saw just how evil the CCP is. I wanted to stand on the side of goodness and justice. I, a timid and fearful person, became stronger, have positive energy, can distinguish between good and evil, and dare to stand up for the truth. I am grateful to Master Li for teaching so many good people to have both ability and integrity, and I am grateful to Dafa practitioners for selflessly speaking out and spreading information. I have benefited from it. I realized that Falun Dafa is beneficial to the country, society, and family. 

I now feel fortunate to be a practitioner’s husband. My wife often listens to the recordings of Master’s Guangzhou lectures, and I also listen to the cultivation experiences published on Minghui.org, the experience-sharing articles, the songs composed by practitioners, and the historical stories of good and evil. I also watch the programs on NTD TV every day, and read articles on Dynamic Network. All these broadened my mind, woke me up from confusion, and broke the shell of atheism and evolution. My mindset changed dramatically, and my outlook on life has changed. 

While my wife was imprisoned, I often drank to forget my worries. I didn’t have a regular schedule for meals, which caused a stomach problem. I couldn’t eat cold, hot, spicy, or sour food. I used to like leek dumplings, but eating them burned my stomach; eating rice also caused stomachaches. I used to take a lot of medicine, and I also used home remedies, but none of them were effective. Now my stomach is fine, and I am able to eat anything. 

My diseases have unknowingly improved, lumbar disc herniation, kidney stones, stomach problems, venous thrombosis, insomnia, high blood pressure and other problems have all improved. In the past, I avoided getting cold or exerting myself, and I often had back pain and leg pain. After knowing the truth, these problems disappeared. I now feel very healthy and energetic. My sisters say I look young. Some colleagues commented, “You look much better now.” 

Knowing the truth is a blessing! I witnessed the magic of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa has illuminated my family. Our once broken home has returned to its former harmony and warmth. Now I watch NTD TV shows every day, which has become an indispensable part of my life. I no longer watch the Chinese state-run news, knowing that it is all fake and is deceiving the people. 

On January 20, 2023, Master published “How Humankind Came To Be,” revealing the universe’s heavenly secrets to all people. I read it twice and transcribed it once, which made me understand a lot of principles. I came to a better understanding of our tribulations, and I no longer hold resentment. 

Returning the Money

Although I do not practice, I agree with Dafa very much, and guided by Dafa’s principles—Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance I’ve become a good person. At work, I quietly do a good job and do not compete for interests; Whatever others don’t want to do, I take the initiative to do it. My wife often told me that good and evil are rewarded, and I know how to deal with things. 

One morning, I found more than 400 yuan on the way to work. There was no one around. I was a little entangled in my heart, should I keep it, or hand it over? I remembered Master’s teaching of “no loss go gain” (Zhuan Falun), so I handed over the money to the workplace leader. Later, they found the owner, who was a colleague. If I were the old me, I would have pocketed it without hesitation. 

Another time, I found the wallet of a worker from another town. It contained more than 1,000 yuan, bank cards, ID cards, etc. I found the owner and gave it back. He was very worried. When I returned it to him, he was very grateful and bought fruit to thank me. I was glad that I did a good deed. I told my wife, and she praised me for doing a good job, too. 

Sometimes I am greedy. One day in late autumn last year, I said to my wife, “Now it is time for soybeans. I want to go to the field and pick some.” The wife said, “If you want soybeans, buy some from the market. You can’t take soybeans from someone’s field.” If it’s not yours, you can’t touch it, otherwise you will lose your virtue.” I said, “I will just pick a little. It won’t hurt anybody.” The wife said, “That’s not okay. You have to exchange your own virtue with other people’s things, and virtue is a very precious thing.” I realized she was right, so I dismissed the idea.

Dafa’s teachings have subtly changed me. I also ask myself to be a sincere and kind person. 

Resolving Disputes with Kindness 

The kindness, tolerance, and forbearance that my wife cultivated in Falun Dafa made her always think about others when things happened, and it also touched me. For example, our upstairs neighbors are a married couple, the woman has no job, and she is a little forgetful. Several times she forgot to turn off the faucet, and this affected our apartment downstairs. Her floor was soaked with water, and my ceiling leaked, because the quality of the building is not up to par. 

One day, at noon, she put her clothes in the washing machine, then she napped soundly. She had forgotten to put the drain outside, and the machine drained all over their floor. When our ceiling began dripping water, my wife hurriedly put a basin under the leak to catch it. I went upstairs to knock on the door. I knocked for a long time before she opened the door. I said a little angrily, “Water is leaking downstairs, what’s going on?” 

When I walked into her apartment, I saw that the floor was flooded. She quickly cleaned it up. I wanted to talk to her husband, but he was at work. My wife repeatedly dissuaded me: “Don’t tell her husband, because they just got married, and I am afraid that they will fight because of this.” I felt my wife had a point, you have to think about others when things happen. 

Another day at noon, the kitchen ceiling began dripping again. Everything in the closet was wet, and the walls were wet. I quickly went upstairs to knock on the door. The man was not at home, and the wife was taking a nap again. While the water was temporarily cut off, she had turned on the faucet, and accidentally left it on. The sink was full and overflowed. When the door opened, she saw water on the floor of her house. I was so angry that I couldn’t say anything. 

Most of the things in my closet were wet. Her husband came home, and he came to my house to see that my house was full of wet things, and the kitchen walls were wet. He was embarrassed. I asked him to see a leak in the ceiling of the small bedroom, and he said, “It wasn’t leaking from my house.” I said, “The last time you weren’t home. Your daughter-in-law was doing laundry, and when the washing machine drained, it flowed downstairs. Your sister-in-law was afraid that you and your wife would fight, so she wouldn’t let me tell you.” My wife hurriedly said, “It’s not intentional, go home and don’t fight.” 

He was touched by my wife’s kindness. Two days later, he brought a small bag of dry cucumbers, saying that he had grown them in his own field. My wife said that my family already had some, but thanked him for his kindness. 

Several leaks in my house were caused by the neighbors upstairs, and I was very angry. I also wanted them to repaint the walls, but it was resolved under the kind persuasion of my wife. She kept reminding me to avoid disputes between neighbors. Now our two families get along very well. I repainted the walls myself.

I Was Safe During a Dangerous Car Accident 

One day in November 2022, the road was icy and very slippery. At five o’clock in the morning, I put on my backpack and went out to work. Halfway on a small bend, due to slippery road, the car suddenly slipped on the slope. The car rolled over into a deep ditch. The window was shattered, and the car was badly damaged. 

I sat in the middle of the back seat surrounded by tools. When the car overturned, my coworker on the left and the one on the right landed on me, as well as the tools. I was covered in dirt. I didn’t feel anything, Two coworkers had broken ribs. 

It was such a serious car accident, but I only had a little scratch! I immediately thanked Master for protecting me. A coworker who knew Falun Dafa was good said, “It was such a serious accident, but no one died. Thank you Falun Dafa’s Master for saving our lives! Falun Dafa is good!”

Silently Reciting the Nine-character Mantra Is a Blessing 

After three years of COVID lockdown, the CCP claimed “cleared zero” infections in China. In the harsh winter of early 2023, when immunity was at its lowest, the lockdown was suddenly lifted, and the plague swept across China. My wife did not get vaccinated and did not have a nucleic acid test. She firmly believes that practitioners have strong immunity and do not need to be vaccinated or tested. I also support her on this issue, so I blocked the harassing calls for compulsory vaccination and nucleic acid. We are both in good health and do not even have any medicines in our home.

But in January 2023, most of the people in our unit had COVID symptoms, including me. At first, I had a fever, weakness, sweating, minor pain, and then cough. I advised my wife to stay away from me, but she said, “I’m not afraid. I’m a practitioner and I have strong immunity.” We had no medicines at home, and there was nothing in the stores to buy. So I simply applied a wet towel to reduce my fever. My wife asked me to silently recite the nine words: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good,” and I did. Maybe I was not sincere, so while the fever did not increase, it did not fall. I felt uncomfortable all over my body. 

In the morning, my wife told me that I had to sincerely recite the words for it to be effective. I silently recited: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” At noon my fever subsided. When I felt hungry, I got up. 

My wife bought frozen rhubarb and fresh pears and boiled them for me. Under her thoughtful care, I quickly returned to normal. 

I think the nine words, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” made all the difference. I sincerely thanked Master! 

Two relatives died of severe symptoms, one was in his eighties. One was only in his thirties. Many children died, leaving endless pain for parents and families. These families are now childless—which is also caused by the CCP’s “family planning” policy. 

Faced with the blood, tears, and trauma of COVID, my relatives have not woken up and still praise the CCP. I really feel sad. How can there be no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil?! I am glad that I got out of that trap and I’m no longer deceived by the CCP’s lies. I thank Master and Faun Dafa practitioners who speak out for the truth. I am lucky that I have a wife who practices Falun Dafa. I really benefited physically and mentally, and received blessings. Thank you, Falun Dafa’s Master! 

On the occasion of the 24th World Falun Dafa Day, our family thanks Master for his mercy and salvation! Happy Birthday Master!
