(Minghui.org) I’m 78 years old and live in the countryside. I had many illnesses before I started practicing Falun Dafa, including neurasthenia, duodenal ulcer, gastroenteritis, leg pain, and insomnia. My husband didn’t take care of me and often scolded me. He never did housework, and gambled all day. His creditors often harassed me for money. Despite my poor health, I had to support the family and take care of him and the children.
I obtained the Fa in 1997. After reading the main text of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun, I understood what it means to be a human being, and I realized that my misfortunes were caused by the bad things I did in my past lifetimes; I had to repay my debts. I knew how to be a good person going forward.
I strictly followed Master Li Hongzhi’s requirements and no longer resented my husband.
As my character improved, my body underwent a radical change. I became disease-free and had a radiant complexion with a healthy, rosy glow. I was energetic and never felt tired. I could climb the stairs two steps at a time, and walked quickly.
My husband never did maintenance work, including taking care of leaks, chimney blockages, and broken electrical switches—things that men usually did. When the house leaked, I climbed on the roof and fixed it. Even some young men avoided doing this kind of work.
Due to the intense persecution of Dafa after July 20, 1999, my husband was frightened and often threatened me. I knew he was poisoned by the propaganda and was under tremendous pressure. I continued doing what Master told me to do, by considering others before doing anything.
Despite his abuse, I told him about the beauty of Dafa, as well as the unjust nature of the persecution so that he could distinguish right from wrong.
My husband only did one thing every day as though it was his job: He went out to play mahjong. He only returned home to eat. He yelled at me if the food was not ready when he came home. I didn’t hold a grudge against him and cheerfully took care of him.
We didn’t have an income, and he was unemployed. When our children gave him money, he went out to gamble. If the food was not good, he scolded me. I later found some minor work and bought him good food. I ate the leftovers.
Slowly, his cold heart melted, and he went from resisting and badmouthing Dafa to being silent. His attitude towards me then changed completely. He still occasionally hit and berated me, but I always looked inward and realized that my words and deeds did not meet the requirements of Dafa. His attitude changed as soon as I corrected myself. He began to praise me and tell his friends and family that I was a wonderful person.
Our children also understood the truth about Dafa and were blessed. Their incomes increased significantly, so they bought us a spacious apartment in the city.
After we moved, our living conditions improved dramatically. I often woke up in the morning, looked at my neat and clean home, and couldn’t help but think, “Is this my home? I’m not dreaming, am I?” For me, living in a new apartment in the city could only be a dream, but it miraculously became a reality.
People’s Joy After Learning the Truth
Master taught me how to be a good person and gave me a healthy body. The only thing I could do to repay him was to tell people about the beauty of Dafa so that more people could benefit from the practice. I now always tell people that going against traditional virtues invites moral corruption, and the only way to have a bright future is to quit the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) atheistic organizations.
Whenever I have time, I talk to people about Dafa. Many people understand the truth and are blessed. I’d like to share a few examples.
I had an 80-year-old neighbor who suffered from osteoporosis and back pain. She was so emaciated that she had been hospitalized twice. I clarified the truth to her, advised her to quit the CCP, and asked her to sincerely say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She believed it and she said she would repeat the phrase all day.
I visited her a month later, and the change was startling! She had rosy cheeks and had gained weight. She exclaimed that she could now eat and do housework, and was grateful to Falun Dafa’s Master! She said when her friends visited her and remarked about her changes, she told everyone that she recited, “Falun Dafa is good,” and that Master Li saved her life.
I met an elderly couple who listened to the truth some years ago, and they eagerly told me how Master protected them.
The man was once driving a tractor with his wife and suddenly saw a deep pit in front of him. He couldn’t stop the tractor in time and thought they were about to die. But the tractor suddenly stopped. They carefully climbed down and saw the front wheels hanging over the pit.
When they towed the tractor away, everyone said it was just unbelievable. The man told me, “Thanks to Dafa’s Master! We believe Falun Dafa is good, and we still have the amulet (Falun Dafa symbol) you gave us. Otherwise, we would have been finished that day. We are very grateful to Master for saving our lives!”
The man told me that his family had a pig farm, and when the other farmers vaccinated their pigs, his family never had to, as their pigs never got sick. They said it was all because of Dafa’s blessings.
When I clarified the truth to another man, he excitedly said that a few years prior, he had picked up a calendar and found that it had information about Falun Dafa. It contained many stories of people who sincerely recited the special phrase (“Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good”) and received blessings. He believed in it so much that he recited it every day.
A car once collided with him when he was riding a motorcycle. At that moment he felt as if someone picked him up and put him on the side of the road. The motorcycle was destroyed, but he stood there unharmed, which was amazing. He said, “If I hadn’t experienced this myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. The only explanation was that God was protecting me.”
He also said that a calendar he received said people should quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations to stay safe. He said he did not know how to do it, so he was happy to meet me so he could quit the Young Pioneers.
I once gave a calendar to a man, and he said, “I’ll only take it if it’s from Falun Dafa. I don’t want any other calendars.” I asked him why, and he told me he had been thrown off a pickup truck when it was going at high speed. He said he knew it was meant to take his life, but thanks to his understanding the facts about Dafa, Master saved him. Otherwise, he would have been dead. One arm was only slightly injured. He was grateful to Master and Dafa.
I was happy for him. Because he understood the truth, Master protected him.
The Good Deeds of the Police
I explained the truth about the persecution to two middle school students and gave them amulets, but they called the police. A police car came, and two officers attempted to drag me into the car. The two young officers tried hard but couldn’t move me. One of them whispered to me, “Auntie, just get in the car, and we’ll let you out when no one is looking.”
I got into the car but did not quite believe what he promised. After a short distance, the police stopped the car and they let me go. After I stepped out, I remembered that I forgot to tell them how to circumvent the Internet firewall, so I ran back. They said, “Why are you back?” I said, “I’m giving you the software so you can break through the CCP’s Internet firewall.” They smiled and accepted the information.
This incident shows that many police officers now understand the truth and know it’s illegal to persecute Falun Dafa, as they will be held accountable. Many officials, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and judges in China are no longer willing to persecute practitioners. They’re using ways to intelligently protect practitioners and choose a better future for themselves.
