Eighty-seven-Year-Old Aunt Kang is in Better Health Than Her Children

(Minghui.org) Aunt Kang, 87 years old, lives in my neighborhood. She has been living alone since her husband passed away more than 10 years ago. Aunt Kang does her own grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, and other housework. She is very healthy.

Aunt Kang was in poor health before she turned 60, suffering from back pain, cervical pain, frozen shoulder, adnexitis, arthritis, and long-term insomnia. Her knees hurt when she walked uphill. She also had severe mastitis. She also could feel lumps in her breasts. Aunt Kang had seen Western and Chinese doctors, tried folk remedies, and even went to fortune tellers, but nothing brought relief.

The year Aunt Kang turned 60, her second son recommended that she practice Falun Dafa. She agreed to try it in the hope of improving her health. She recovered from all her illnesses within just two weeks after she started cultivating in Dafa. Her knees no longer hurt, the lumps in her breasts disappeared, and her insomnia, which had been tormenting her for a long time, no longer bothered her! It has been 26 years since Aunt Kang has not required any medication. She hasn’t even caught a cold.

In Better Health Than Her Children

Aunt Kang went to buy a barrel of water last year. After paying for it, she went to get it, although it was heavy, weighing about 20 kilograms. The vendor quickly shouted, “Put it down! I’ll help you carry it. How can you do this kind of work at your age?” Aunt Kang smiled and said it was okay for her to carry it. She loaded it onto a cart and pulled away, leaving the vendor astounded.

Aunt Kang’s daughter was unable to carry such a big barrel of water since she had a back problem. Yet Aunt Kang, who is nearly 90 years old, could do it. Furthermore, after returning home, she carried the barrel to the second floor.

When China opened after the COVID pandemic the year before last, almost everyone in her area tested positive. Aunt Kang’s children also had some COVID symptoms. After her son tested positive, he stayed at her place for about three weeks. However, Aunt Kang was fine and did not need any help.

Caring for Her Husband for Many Years Without a Single Complaint

As well as Aunt Kang’s health significantly improved after practicing Falun Dafa, so did her temper, and she became more patient. Her husband had a stroke and had difficulty walking and speaking. He was unpredictable, and often got angry and lost his temper easily. Whenever he was upset, he took it out on Aunt Kang and beat her with his cane. Aunt Kang didn’t hold grudges against him. She still cooked for him, did his laundry, and took care of him as usual.

Aunt Kang’s husband liked to go to the senior activity center. Every day after breakfast, Aunt Kang held a small stool in one hand and supported her husband with the other, as they walked very slowly to the activity center. Aunt Kang always patiently accompanied him.

At the activity center, Aunt Kang helped her husband sit on the stool and she stood behind him for six or seven hours. Day after day, year after year, the two could often be seen in the neighborhood until her husband passed away. “I would not have such patience if I did not practice Dafa,” remarked Aunt Kang.

In fact, her husband also benefited from Dafa. One day, he was eating a peach and choked on the pit. Seeing her husband unable to breathe, Aunt Kang immediately asked Master for help in her heart.

She then called her eldest son. But before he could do anything, her husband swallowed the peach pit. Her son said anxiously, “It’s no good to swallow it. He won’t be able to get the pit out with his bowel movement.”

Aunt Kang’s husband opened his mouth and spit the pit out. Their son was pleasantly surprised. Aunt Kang knew it was Master who saved her husband.

“I have never met such a good person!”

After practicing Falun Dafa, Aunt Kang paid less attention to personal gain. She said, “Master taught us to be good. I won’t take anything that does not belong to me.”

Once, she saw a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief on the ground. She opened it, and saw 18 yuan inside. Aunt Kang then tied it to a tree branch next to her hoping that whoever lost it would be able to find it more easily.

Then, Aunt Kang found 40 yuan on the ground near a supermarket. She waited there for the owner to come looking for it. Someone she knew passed by and asked what she was doing, Aunt Kang said, “I don’t know who dropped 40 yuan. I’m waiting for the owner.” The person asked why she didn’t pocket the money herself. Aunt Kang responded, “I don’t want it. This money is not mine.” The person asked if they could split it half and half. Aunt Kang refused.

When Aunt Kang was on her way back home from the market, she found that the butcher gave her 8 yuan more in change. It was raining heavily, and difficult to go back. So the next day, she went to the market to return the money. The butcher thought she was going to blame him for something, but to his surprise, she returned him the extra money he gave her. The butcher was touched, and remarked, “I have never met such a good person!”

Another time, a shrimp vendor gave her 20 yuan too much. When she returned the money the vendor was so moved that she insisted on giving Aunt Kang several shrimp. Aunt Kang politely declined the offer, and said, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. My Master taught me to be good. I can’t take advantage of you.” The vendor hugged Aunt Kang, put her arms around her shoulders, and walked with her for a while.

Aunt Kang’s pension was not high, only about 2,000 yuan a month. After cultivating in Dafa, she knew that she should value virtue, think of others, and not accept ill-gotten gains. Furthermore, her health improved, and she no longer needed medication, nutritional supplements, or health products. Aunt Kang lived frugally. She saved her money and gave each of her children 20,000 yuan last New Year. One of her children said, “At this advanced age, our mother not only doesn’t need us to take care of her, but also she gave us money!” Her children were very grateful to Dafa for bringing their family blessings.
