(Minghui.org) May 13 was Master’s birthday, and it was also the 20th anniversary of Dafa’s introduction to the public. Master and Dafa have brought our family good fortune and happiness. Therefore, we want to wish Master a happy birthday and congratulate Falun Dafa for spreading worldwide over the past 20 years.
Cultivating in Dafa helps me to become younger and healthy
I began to practice Falun Dafa in June 1996. Before that, I had numerous chronic illnesses.
After an appendicitis surgery I had when I was 19 years old, my stomach often hurt so much that I fainted. Because of that, I had to bend my body while walking on the college campus. At the age of 21 I was hospitalized, and the result of the laparotomy indicated that I suffered from severe neurosis, which tortured me for many years.
After that, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, and my menstrual period stopped before I turned 30. Consequently, I suffered from both physical and mental disorders. I began to have different kinds of illnesses, such as arthritis and chronic gastritis, and my head and eyes also hurt. My husband once said that all parts of my body, except my hair and nails, hurt.
To cure my illnesses and try to conceive a child, I spent a large amount of money. I tried all kinds of medicines for a period of seven years, but to no avail.
While searching for cures, I began to believe in Buddha. I went to temples all over China to worship the Buddha statues, but my illnesses were still not cured, and I was still unable to get pregnant. At the same time, I also began to practice another form of qigong. After my husband and I had been married for eight years, our child was finally born. Therefore, I became even more attached to that qigong. Afterward, however, something horrible began to occur whenever I practiced it: Every time I did the exercises, I would start to cry and then laugh; I would also jump up and down. It became so severe that as soon as I practiced, my mother-in-law would pick up my child and take him away. I was confused and did not understand why.
In June 1996, a colleague of mine gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun. I finished reading the book right away and realized that I finally found a genuine practice. Looking at Master’s portrait, I said: “Master, I will be your student for my whole life and will never waver.”
Ever since I started practicing Falun Gong, all of the illnesses that I had suffered for over a decade disappeared, and my body felt very light. I was very delighted. My family, who had been very worried for me, said that Falun Gong was miraculous.
The book Zhuan Falun teaches us that Falun Gong practitioners must be good people, and we should think about other people first. I have followed Master’s teaching. I have lived with my parents-in-law for eight years, but we have never had any conflicts. We’re a happy family. My husband and mother-in-law no longer need to worry about me.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong in July 1999, I have been to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong twice. The 610 Office persecuted me and deprived me of sleep. Then I was forced to write a guarantee statement to stop practicing Falun Gong when my mind was unclear, due to the lack of sleep. Under heavy pressure, I gave up practicing Falun Gong and also did something I regretted, which was harmful to Master and fellow practitioners.
During the time when I stopped practicing Falun Gong, my mind and body felt very exhausted. My health condition deteriorated, and, eventually, I was unable to work. I had no choice but to look for a medical cure for my illnesses once again.
It was around noon on an overcast day when I lay down on my bed miserably and hopelessly. While I was lying in bed feeling miserable, I suddenly felt that something was quickly spinning around where my symptoms were located on my body. Very soon, the misery disappeared. I was amazed; tears kept rolling down my cheeks. I said in my mind: “It was Falun! It was Falun! Master!” I jumped off the bed and joyously said: “Master! You still want me, a disciple who had disappointed you so much! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!”
I adjusted my mentality and returned to work. Whenever people asked me how I recovered from the illnesses, I exclaimed loud and clear that I began to practice Falun Gong again.
At present, my menstrual periods are still normal, even though I am over 50 years old. On the Chinese New Year of 2012, I went to see my aunt, whom I had not seen for two years. Surprised at my appearance, she asked, “What have you eaten?” Her son, who was an army general, said, “You are a deity!”
Husband blessed for understanding his Falun Gong practitioner wife
Before 1999, my husband held a prestigious job with an affluent income. He was our family’s pride. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he withstood huge pressure and pain. Having witnessed the changes that occurred in me after I started cultivation practice, he has never given me any pressure. Only on one occasion did he ask me if I could just write a “fake guarantee statement.”
With tears in my eyes, I said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t give up Falun Gong.” I sincerely told him that I could not be ungrateful and asked him to understand me. I said, “Let’s get a divorce, not because I don’t love you. I don’t want you to lose your profession and possible promotion.” In the darkness, I saw him crying.
I learned afterward that his work unit had given him one last chance to choose between his position and me. He decided to choose his Falun Gong practitioner wife. Consequently, my husband lost his career and position. The CCP’s persecution of my husband angered his colleagues and managers. Some of them told him, “You’ve worked so diligently for the CCP and don’t have any corruption, but they persecute you like this.” In a large-scale conference, a high-ranking government official from Beijing once said, “Losing such a talented person in this area is a loss for the entire country. I’m very sad.”
By treating his Falun Gong practitioner wife kindly and also believing that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, my husband eventually received good returns. After going through some training
a few years later, my husband got another equally admirable job. His annual salary is more than 600,000 yuan. In the past, people said that I had ruined my husband’s future, but now friends say that the Falun Gong practitioner wife has brought her husband good fortune.
What is more exciting is that my husband looks much younger than others of his age. His annual physical checkup shows that everything is normal. He lives a very happy life.
My entire family enjoys the good fortune that Dafa brings to us
My elder brother has been the Party secretary for his work unit for many years. Because he understands the evil nature of the CCP and knows that Dafa is good, he has never participated in the persecution. After he withdrew from the CCP, his physical health improved. Currently, not only does he have a good position, but also his salary is very high.
On New Year's Day of 2000, I went to Beijing for the second time to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. In order to stop me from going to Tiananmen Square, my younger brother went to Beijing ahead of me to intercept me at the train station. After I explained my intentions to him, he agreed to go to Tiananmen Square with me. This was at the time when the persecution was very severe: There was police everywhere, and Dafa disciples were routinely beaten. My younger brother, however, protected me, and with his help, I was able to reach Tiananmen Square and then return safely.
I sincerely thank my younger brother and deeply respect his courage. This is all due to the fact that he knows that Dafa is good. After learning the truth, my younger brother has also been promoted, and his salary has increased several times.
My sister’s situation is similar to that of my brother’s. Even my nephew, having learned the truth about Dafa, was able to find a good job after graduating from college. My younger brother once said, “Our big sister practices Falun Gong, so all the family members benefit.” Happily, I replied, “Once you treat Dafa and Dafa disciples compassionately, our Master will surely give you good fortune.”
When I suffered from the persecution, our child was still young. He was traumatized both times when I was illegally detained. After going through a difficult transition, he is also getting better and better.
My mother-in-law is in her 70s, but she is still full of energy. She can still cook for the entire family.
Our neighbours and friends all admire our family. They say that we are a family of officials, money and good health. We all know that the reason we have been so lucky is because our family treats Dafa and Dafa disciples with respect.
