(Clearwisdom.net) Since my mother started practicing Falun Gong, her mind and body underwent tremendous changes. It is through this experience that my entire family, including all of our relatives, came to witness the magnificence of Dafa. After listening to Master's lectures and videos—which my mother regularly played for us—the rest of the family began to practice as well.
While I was taking my college entrance exams in 2001, my mother was being persecuted in a brainwashing center set up by the local 610 Office. Other students around me were showered with parental love and concern during this most important time of a student's life, but my younger brother and I were forced to subsist on instant noodles. I had to take my exams at an out of town exam center and was all by myself. Although I felt a bit lonely, I remembered mother's words: “Dafa is always with us and we are under Master's protection. As long as we do our part well, Master will take care of the rest!”
During the several days of exams, I remained surprisingly calm and was able to perform as usual. One night I did not get a good rest due to the summer heat, so I was tired the next day and unable to finish the English portion of the test in time. I was certain I would fail the overall exam because of this, but I quickly reminded myself that Master and Dafa were with me and that I should follow the course of nature. As it turned out, I was admitted to a well-known university. My whole family understood that this was a gift from Dafa.
When I finished school, I found it very hard to find a job. Many of my classmates spent a great deal of time and money looking for work through their network of friends and acquaintances. Some even took jobs which had nothing to do with their studies. It was even harder to find a job in the coastal cities.
One day, I came across a job on the Internet and applied for it. The requirements were very stringent. Mother told me to recite the sentences "Falun Dafa is good!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" On the day of the interview, I was a little nervous at the beginning, but soon regained my composure and answered the interviewers' questions calmly and without hesitation. I felt the interview went very well. The interviewers were very impressed with me and offered me a position. Other people had spent as much as 300,000 yuan to obtain household registration in a coastal city, however, I got the job by just following the normal application procedures and did not spend a single yuan. People who knew me said I that was very lucky. It seemed to them that everything in my life went smoothly for me. I know in my heart however that the reason for this is power of Dafa and Master's boundless compassion.
Now I recite the words "Falun Dafa is good!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" whenever possible. When faced with people who slander Dafa, I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements elements behind them and try to tell them the wonders of Dafa.
