(Minghui.org) I’m almost 70 years old. I recently attached siding to a building for a man in his 50s. When he noticed how quickly I worked and that I didn’t seem tired, he asked, “How old are you?”

I replied, “Almost seventy.”

Surprised by my age, he said, “You’re doing such heavy physical labor with ease and precision. How do you stay in such great shape?”

I specialize in siding work which is physically demanding. Unless one is able to hold up the heavy siding, it will be uneven and less durable. A full day of work can be extremely exhausting, but I never felt tired.

I said, “I practice Falun Dafa, which has given me such a healthy body. I wasn’t always like this. In the past, I was plagued with illnesses. Though I’m almost 5’8’’ I was thin and weighed only 130 pounds. I had no strength and I felt exhausted and out of breath after even a little effort. Only after I began practicing Falun Dafa did my health improve so dramatically.”

He was genuinely surprised and said, “This is completely different from what the Chinese Communist Party claims!” As a result, the residents in the entire building gained a positive understanding of Falun Dafa.

Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from numerous health issues: chronic intestinal inflammation, persistent headaches, insomnia, and excessive sweating even when I exerted the slightest effort. Medication and injections brought no relief. I was also short-tempered, and my family life was far from harmonious. However, in the winter of 1998 after I began practicing Falun Dafa, Master purified my body and eliminated all my ailments. Since then, I truly experienced the joy and freedom of being illness free.

Not only did my health improve, but my financial situation also significantly improved. Due to my poor health in the past, I struggled to earn enough and often had to borrow money just to pay my bills. Now, I manage over ten acres of farmland and earn additional income through my siding work. I’ve not only paid off my debts but I’ve also saved money. All of this is thanks to Master and Dafa.

Everywhere I go, I tell people: If I did not practice Falun Dafa, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am deeply grateful to Master and to Dafa!
