(Minghui.org) I was introverted when I was a child. After my parents went to work, I stayed home and listened to the radio, where I learned about the traditions and lives of the ancient people. I often looked up at the sky and imagined the floating clouds to be a winged Pegasus, or sometimes a mighty deity. I had always had a feeling that the sky was my home.
I had a recurring nightmare since I was a teenager, in which I saw fire from hell, dead bodies, and darkness. Finally one day in 2002, I dreamed of many floating lanterns in the dark sky, with characters written on them: “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Destined to Practice Dafa
I started to practice Falun Dafa in 2002 in prison after I got involved with some bad people and committed a crime. The environment at that time was harsh and the prison guards often physically punished Dafa disciples. I took advantage of my privileges to pass messages and Master’s scriptures among practitioners, and sometimes brought practitioners together to share their experiences and study the Fa.
It was not easy to obtain the Fa in that most evil place, and I cherished it very much. I once met a fellow practitioner who grabbed my hand and said kindly, “Congratulations on obtaining the Fa!” Tears filled my eyes. Due to the constraints of that environment, I could not openly state that I was a practitioner at that time.
The prison guards discovered what I was doing one day when I was passing along some scriptures. They put heavy shackles on me and took me to a separate cell to torture me. One guard said viciously, “You can learn anything but Falun Gong! Why can’t I reform you?”
I felt very calm and said loudly to them, “These years of supervision and discipline have not changed me. Learning from models has not changed me. But Dafa has completely changed my world view. I was reborn and have understood the meaning of life, the standards for being a good person, and how to be a good person.”
A guard tried to tempt me by offering me the opportunity to become a team leader of inmates and an early release if I gave up Falun Dafa. After I rejected his offer, several guards shocked me with electric batons. The electric batons radiated blue electric light, which crackled and clicked on my body. The mysterious thing was that I didn’t feel any pain at all but all those wicked guards were sweating profusely. I knew that Master was by my side and was protecting me.
Believing in Master and the Fa and Diligently Saving People
I joined a Fa-study group after I was released. I studied the Fa, sent forth righteous thoughts, got rid of fear, cultivated my xinxing, and talked to strangers to clarify the truth every day.
I met a young man on the street one day. I told him about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to ensure his safety. The young man understood straight away and quit the Party and the affiliated youth organizations he had joined. I gave him an amulet and told him to recite the two phrases, “Falun Dafa is good,” and, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My father passed away some time ago. When he was still alive, I often clarified the truth about Dafa to him and my elder sister. My father was deeply brainwashed by the Party and refused to accept it, and this made me deeply regretful. My sister quit the two CCP organizations she had once joined.
My sister’s health was poor. As long as someone around her had a cold or the flu, she would have the same illness a short time later. Half a year after quitting the Party organizations, she said to me, “Little brother, why have I not caught a cold for so long? My health is much better than before.” I smiled and said, “Sister, you quit the evil Party organizations and are no longer under its control. You are saved!”
One day, an elderly woman hired my taxi to visit her younger brother, who’d had a stroke and was hospitalized. He had been in a hospital in a big city for half a month. The family could no longer afford those hospital fees, so he had to move to a local hospital.
The old woman told me about the misfortune in her family with tears in her eyes. I said, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll tell you a good method that doesn’t cost a penny. As long as you and your brother quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and devoutly recite the two phrases I tell you, your brother will definitely be saved.” She said, “Thank you. You Falun Gong practitioners are so kind!”
I came to this world to assist Master in Fa-rectification. My responsibility is to save people. I must fulfill my vow and cannot bring shame to my Master.
