(Minghui.org) I learned how to do the Falun Gong exercises when I went to a park on Chinese New Year in 1999. As I was learning the second exercise, I felt many bad things leaving my body, and my whole body relaxed. When my arms got tired and started to droop, I felt as if someone was raising them up for me. I opened my eyes to see who was helping me, but no one was there.
I was in my early thirties at the time, and I had many ailments. After I finished the exercises, I noticed that all the bumps that had been on my right thumb had disappeared. My body felt light. That night, even though I had been a severe insomniac, I slept very well. My liver disease, colitis, and low blood pressure all disappeared.
Ten days later, I participated in an event to tell others about Falun Dafa. I saw an image of Master sitting there in a yellow robe, with colorful Falun rotating everywhere.
Amazed by my positive physical and mental changes, many of my neighbors, friends, and relatives started practicing, and I formed a Fa study group at my home. Everyone in my family supported my cultivation practice.
When I was laid off at work, a relative took my position, but I didn't complain.
I opened a small daycare center in my home. With Master's blessing, the local news promoted my daycare center and business was very good.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong six months after I started practicing.
On July 20, 1999, when I went to the exercise site, I saw only two other practitioners. The police came after thirty minutes, and pushed us around. I asked, “Why are you stopping people from doing such a good exercise?” Some bystanders who saw what was happening said, “The CCP is powerful, you'd better go home.”
I went to another exercise site and saw many officers. I told them the facts about Falun Gong. I told them that I had become healthy and a better person after practicing Falun Gong. They refused to listen and ordered me to go home. When I got home, seven officers were waiting for me. One of them yelled at me and ordered me to go to the police station with him. I told him, “I am not going with you. You are persecuting good people.”
The head of the police station later came to my home. I told him how great Falun Gong was. It turned out he had read Zhuan Falun. He said, “It is legal to practice Falun Gong. Those who are against Falun Gong are committing a crime.” I thanked him for his support.
During the years that followed, I was taken several times to the local police station to have a talk. The head and other officers became my friends.
One day I was taken to the municipal government office. There were many officers in the conference hall, and all of the veteran practitioners were there. They pressured us to give up the practice. When it was my turn, I said, “Falun Gong emphasizes cultivation.” Suddenly, one of the officers said, “I know this... As long as we remain calm when we are offended, our illnesses will be cured.”
Everyone laughed. The city Political and Legal Affairs Committee head stood up and shook my hand. He said, “Thank you. Let's call it a day.” He asked his driver to take another practitioner and me home.
Last year, 14 officers broke into my home. One of them wanted to tear Master's photo off the wall. I yelled, “Stop! The photo has been there for many years, and no one dares to touch it!” He withdrew a few steps and said, “I won't touch it.”
I felt so sorry for them after I calmed down, and told them the facts about Falun Gong. One officer said, “What she says makes sense. Let's go.” They left.
I know that all sentient beings are waiting to hear the facts about Falun Gong, and I clarify the truth in person every day. Almost everyone I know has withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated associations.
Recently I haven't done the three things well, and haven't studied the Fa well. Fellow practitioners have reminded me that I should calm down and study the Fa more. They also reminded me that I shouldn't do things while harboring attachments. We should improve ourselves as much as we possibly can.
Please correct me if I said anything inappropriate.
