Stories From a Family Fast Food Restaurant

(Minghui.org) I’m a 42-year-old practitioner from the countryside. I wanted my child to attend school, but the closest elementary school was located in a town that was far away, and taking the bus was inconvenient. We rented a place in town so I could take care of my child while he attended school.

When our son was in fourth grade, my husband rented a small shop and I turned it into a fast food eatery that catered to students. My husband worked out of town so I ran the business.

The Boy Who Lost One Hundred Yuan

Two boys came to my eatery around nine one morning. They ordered a few items and ate their food. When they were ready to pay, one boy said he lost his money. I overheard their conversation but didn’t think much of it. They left after they finished eating.

After they left, I saw one hundred yuan on the floor next to the table, and I thought I would return it to the boys the next time they came. I thought about giving the money to practitioners who made Dafa informational materials, but I didn’t.

Two years later during winter, a boy came in to order food. I thought he looked familiar. I prepared his order and brought it to him. We began to chat and I asked where he sat two years ago, and if he had lost money. He said after he ate at my place, he attended another school in the south. He didn’t come to my shop after he returned to the area.

I said I found one hundred yuan after they left two years ago. I knew it was his and I wanted to give it back to him. He was shocked and asked, “You mean you’re going to give back the money I lost two years ago?” When I said yes he looked at me in disbelief.

I explained that I practice Falun Dafa and our Master asks us to be good people and live our lives according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I told him about the persecution and urged him to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) affiliated organizations.

I said, “Please remember ‘Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and divine beings will protect you.” He nodded in agreement and kept thanking me.

A Girl Renounced the CCP After Learning About Dafa

There’s a high school in my town where the students come and go every year, and I seldom see them after they graduate. Therefore, I try to seize every opportunity to talk to them about Dafa and help them withdraw from the CCP’s affiliated organizations.

A girl walked in one day and ordered lunch. We'd known each other for a long time, and she later graduated. I didn’t have enough righteous thoughts, so I hesitated and didn’t talk to her about Dafa. I regretted this very much after she left, so I asked Master to give me another chance.

Before I clarify the truth, I usually send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the bad elements, and I ask Master for help. Most people quit the CCP after they learn about Dafa and the persecution.

The girl came back a few days later. I was so happy and thanked Master! I told her how Falun Dafa is practiced around the world, the staged “self immolation” on Tiananmen Square, the forced organ harvest, and the natural and man-made disasters. When I explained why people should renounce the CCP she withdrew from its affiliated organizations. She said she was leaving the next day and moving to the south for work. I thanked Master, as the opportunity to awaken people was fleeting.

I’ve been running my shop for nine years and I’ve followed Master through the ups and downs. No matter how long the Fa-rectification process takes, I will continue to follow Master and move forward. I want to do better, be a genuine practitioner, and return to my true home.
