(Minghui.org) My grandson suffered from eczema from birth. “His eczema causes an extremely itchy rash,” said his doctor. “Moreover, existing patches of eczema rash can exude pus, which can spread the rash further to unaffected areas.”
As predicted by the doctor, the rash spread widely and soon covered most of my grandson’s torso, arms, and legs. However, when fully dressed, his clothing covered up all evidence of his eczema except a small patch on the left side of his face. Because his small hands could easily scratch this itchy area, this patch was constantly inflamed, irritated, and oozed pus, appearing almost like a burn at first glance.
One day, I took my less-than-one-year-old grandson outside to play. A new restaurant had opened beside the main gate of our community, and I was hoping for an opportunity to clarify the truth about Dafa and the persecution to the restaurant owners.
To my pleasant surprise, the restaurant owner’s mother greeted me on sight, “Are you bringing your grandchild out to play? Come sit and rest.” I hurried over and greeted her. The elderly lady soon commented, “Your grandchild is really handsome. With his big eyes and long eyelashes, he looks just like a doll, except for this disfiguring burn on his face. Did he acquire it under your care?” I told her that it was an eczema rash.
However, this situation was probably not a good opportunity to clarify the facts. I impulsively told my grandson instead, “Darling, let’s go. Grandmother will take you walking along the street, and we will shout “Falun Dafa is good!” I had no ulterior motive for my actions. The restaurant owner’s mother smiled at us as we departed.
My grandson was so young he could only speak one or two words. I told my grandson, “I’ll shout “Falun Dafa is good” then you shout, “Good!”
We started from the right side of the road until we reached a pedestrian crossing. Then we crossed the road and started walking back from the opposite side, shouting the whole way. “Falun Dafa is good!” “Good!” “Falun Dafa is good!” “Good!” The sidewalks on both sides were filled with pedestrians. Some laughed with us while others gave us thumbs up. To them I said, “Join us and shout together! Whoever shouts this will benefit!”
After making one round, we returned to the community’s main gate. The restaurant owner's mother remained at the entrance, and she greeted us warmly, “Welcome back! Here, child, let this grandma carry you for a while.” She took my grandson from my arms and instantly ran into the restaurant.
I was befuddled by her unexpected action until I heard her shouting, “Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is truly good! Come look! The eczema on this child's face has disappeared!” I was stunned and went in to see for myself. Truly, the rash on my grandchild's face had disappeared!
In response to the elderly lady’s exhortations, her son, her daughter-in-law, and the restaurant staff quickly converged. The restaurant owner’s mother told them, “This child had a large patch of eczema on his face just now. I even mistakenly thought it was a burn. The patch was bloody and ugly. His grandmother just took him to the streets to shout ‘Falun Dafa is good.’ They just came back, and look! The eczema on his face is gone! The skin is now smooth and healthy.”
Everyone crowded around and began commenting, “Falun Dafa is amazing!” “What a miracle!” "These things only happen in fairy tales! It’s almost unbelievable!”
Seizing this opportunity, I told them, “I have the Master of Falun Dafa to thank for this miracle! Everyone here has witnessed Master’s compassion and greatness. This must be predestined, so I hope you will listen to me while I tell you the truth behind the persecution of Falun Gong!” Everyone instantly agreed, “Okay! We are willing to listen.”
I proceeded to tell them that people in many countries practice Falun Gong and that only in China was it banned. I said the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) refusal to allow its citizens to practice Falun Gong had prevented many from obtaining good health and stopped them from being saved.
After listening to me, the restaurant owner, his wife, his mother, and the restaurant staff decided to quit the CCP, choosing a better future for themselves. The restaurant owner’s mother also told me that she was interested in learning Falun Gong. I was overwhelmed with happiness on hearing their decisions.
