(Minghui.org) Speaking of clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to my daughter’s mother-in-law, I can’t remember how many times I have done so, but I remember clearly that she used to always say, “Let’s talk about it later.”
The first time my son-in-law’s parents visited our house was when I had just returned from the forced labor camp. I talked to them about the wonders of Falun Dafa, the self-immolation perpetrated on Tiananmen Square, why Jiang Zemin persecuted Falun Dafa, and the worldwide spread of Falun Dafa. Additionally, I told them to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to receive divine protection. I also mentioned the importance of withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations, to stay safe. He agreed to withdraw right away, but she responded, “Let’s talk about it later.”
My daughter opened a small factory in another city, and gave birth to a baby girl, so she became very busy. Her mother-in-law often took the granddaughter to stay at our house for a few days. In the evenings, I would play videos for the in-laws about the global activities held on World Falun Dafa Day on May 13. She liked to watch the videos and accepted Shen Yun DVDs, brochures, and other Dafa materials. But whenever I mentioned withdrawing from the CCP, she would say, “Let’s talk about it later.”
Rhe in-law once fell from a ladder while trying to get firewood up high. We quickly went to the county hospital to visit her. When we arrived, she was in the emergency room, so I immediately asked her to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Meanwhile, my daughter and I also recited it, to help her. She survived but sprained her neck. After a long time, I reminded her to withdraw from the CCP to ensure her safety, but she still said, “Let’s talk about it later.”
I thought about what I might have done wrong that affected her withdrawing from the CCP. During the process of renovating the house, I happened to find a pair of shoes. I was shocked to see the shoes because they reminded me of an agreement a few years prior. The shoes were too big for me so I gave them to her to try, and they fit just right. I told her that I would give them to her but forgot when she left. As a Dafa practitioner, I should align my words and actions with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Since I promised to give her the shoes I should keep my word. I decided to buy her a new pair of shoes. When my daughter and son-in-law came to visit me before the Chinese New Year, I asked them to take the new shoes to her and explain why I didn’t give them to her earlier.
She experienced a health problem in mid 2024, but my son-in-law did not inform us about her condition, thinking that it was a minor gynecological surgery. When my husband and I heard about her medical procedure from another relative, we immediately drove around 50-60 kilometers (31-37 miles) to the hospital. After three days of hospitalization, she was diagnosed with a lung nodule, and required to rest and prepare for two more surgeries.
After she was discharged, my husband and I went to visit her and brought some presents with us. A few days later, I thought that I must tell her the facts about Dafa again to help her withdraw from the CCP. I prayed to Master Li to bless me, brought along some gifts, including homemade meat buns, dried fruits, and two dresses, and then rode on my electric bike for more than 30 miles to visit her. She was deeply touched to see me and said, “You’ve come all this way again and again, in such hot weather, riding your electric bike. it’s so troublesome for you.” I replied, “I sincerely hope you get better soon. Please be sure to recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ more often.” She responded, “I still keep the amulet in my pocket you gave me.” I said, “Withdrawing from the CCP organizations will also keep you safe. You should quickly withdraw from the Young Pioneers.” She said, “Okay, I’ll quit it.” This time, she agreed readily.
With the compassionate blessings of Master Li, she finally changed her mind and chose a bright future after my continued, 15 years of clarification. I am deeply grateful to our great and benevolent Master for finding a way to have her accept the present!
