(Clearwisdom.net) I know a woman in her 30s who lives in Xinglong Township, Wuchang County, Heilongjiang Province. She is my son's tenant, and when we met for the first time, I tried to talk to her about Falun Gong, but she was not very receptive. However, just to be polite, she did not refuse to listen.
Shortly afterwards, her husband abruptly became ill and passed away in only six days. She was devastated. She often took her child, who was around 10 years old, and wandered aimlessly through the streets of the town.
When I met her again, I was very sympathetic. I told her, "You can't go on like this. You must pull yourself together and go on with your life." She replied, "I can't do anything because my heart and mind are just not in it." I said, "I have a book that I want you to read. It might be able to help you." She agreed and read Zhuan Falun. After reading it, she said, "My mind is calm while I read this book." Then, she continued to read pamphlets and other Falun Gong books. She also read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
She told me that she used to have many diseases that were cured after reading Zhuan Falun. Afterwards, she threw away many kinds of deviant materials she had at home and replaced them with Falun Gong materials.
A few days later, she visited and told me that someone had introduced to her a young man who later proposed to her. She had refused his offer in fear of another short-lived marriage with an unhappy ending. I told her that she should follow the predestined relationship and not think too much about the past.
She eventually agreed to marry the young man and later became pregnant. She asked me whether or not she should keep the baby, because she feared the hardship of raising another child. I told her, "You have a child from your previous marriage: It is natural that your current husband would love to have a child with you, too."
After she gave birth, she told me, "I am so fortunate. My whole family treats me so well. Everything I do goes well." She guessed that her happiness and good fortune were related to her reading Falun Gong books and believing in Falun Gong teachings. She now wanted to actually practice Falun Gong.
I gave her Zhuan Falun as a gift and taught her the five exercises. Since then, she has been steadfastly practicing.
