(Clearwisdom.net) In Hengshan District, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, an elderly woman, Ms. Wang Shufang, endured a difficult life without children, and often was sick in bed. Later on, she had the good fortune to meet a Falun Gong practitioner, who took good care of her for the rest of her life.
Wang Shufang, 81, had no children. After her husband passed away many years before, she lived alone, suffering from a serious illness. With a meager subsidy of one hundred yuan a month, she could barely make ends meet, let alone get treatment for her disease. Later on, her rheumatoid arthritis became serious, causing her limbs to deform and limiting her ability to move around and take care of herself. Her small house developed a terrible odor due to her bowel and bladder incontinence in bed.
For some unknown reason, a Falun Gong practitioner came to Ms. Wang's house. When the practitioner saw the unhealthy conditions, she cleaned the house immediately. Even though she didn't have much money, the practitioner still cooked good, healthy food for the elderly lady, such as delicious dumplings and some fish and meat dishes. The practitioner treated her as if she were her mother, and Ms. Wang was so grateful that she was moved to tears. Neighbors all praised the Dafa practitioner for her compassion!
In the process of taking care of Ms. Wang, the practitioner talked about the facts of Falun Dafa, letting her watch a video that clarified the truth. Ms. Wang understood the truth, and learned that Falun Gong was unjustly persecuted and that practitioners were all good people; then the practitioner read Zhuan Falun to her. After reading the second page, the bad odor in the house disappeared.
As this elderly woman studied the Fa, her physical condition improved, and gradually she was able to sit up. Yellow fluid drained from her ankle, then she managed to get off the bed and start walking slowly. In her dreams, someone taught her to write, "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good." Although the old woman was illiterate, she could write these characters correctly. She began to stretch her arms, and finally was able to take care of herself. She was so grateful to Dafa and Dafa practitioners! She really understood that Falun Dafa is the great Fa for saving sentient beings!
In the past, Ms. Wang had given her savings to her nephew, hoping that he would take care of her for the rest of her senior years. Unfortunately, after taking the money, her nephew never visited her again. Eight months later, she said to the practitioner, "I am about to leave this world. Since you're a renter, I'll let you have this house! Besides, you've spent money for my good food; I've saved 700 yuan during the last eight months; you can have the money."
The practitioner said, "I'm a Falun Gong practitioner; I cultivate compassion, so I don't want repayment for the good deed; I don't want your money and the house."
Three days later, the old lady passed away peacefully, without pain.
After taking care of Ms. Wang's funeral, the practitioner handed over the house key to the manager of the Street Office, and the 700 yuan was stolen by the night watchman. Some heads of the local offices who were moved by the practitioner's noble actions wanted to award her with 5,000 yuan, which she politely declined. The practitioner and her family still live in her rented apartment.
