(Minghui.org) When I was in my 40s I started Falun Dafa cultivation—it was in 1997. Prior to cultivating, I suffered from headaches, toothaches, and psoriasis, which caused me a lot of pain and discomfort. I searched for a cure but to no avail. The skin on my hand also cracked to the point of bleeding. Once my mother noticed the skin on my hand she suggested I practice Falun Dafa.
“Look at your aunty,” she said. “She used to suffer from headaches, and was diagnosed with rectal cancer but recovered after practicing Falun Dafa.” Upon hearing that, I felt that this sounded truly miraculous, and said that I would also practice Dafa.
I went to the Dafa exercise site, which was very crowded and large. As soon as I did the exercises, I began to see Falun’s (law wheels), which were the same color as the cover of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. I also saw many of Master’s law bodies, which were golden in color. They were coming down from the clouds and sending Faluns to clear up this dimensional field. After seeing this, I made up my mind to cultivate solidly in Falun Dafa.
Within a month of cultivating, I recovered from all my illnesses. That was more than 20 years ago. I no longer need to take medicine, as I have been in good health. Sometimes I had illness karma elimination, but I got over it in 1 or 2 days—as soon as Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) cleansed my body. Because of the health benefits, my family supported me in my cultivation. I truly felt grateful for Master’s compassion.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners on July 20, 1999. The persecution also impacted practitioners’ family members. My husband went from supporting me to being against me. He burned my Dafa books and lecture recordings. I resented him and didn’t want to talk to him. I said, “This is a heavenly book and law. For what you did, you will have to face retribution.”
I went out to clarify the facts to people; I distributed truth-clarification brochures, Dafa calendars, and helped people quit the CCP organizations. When I came home later, my husband locked the door to keep me outside. I thought that no matter how much he was against me, I had my mission as a practitioner and I would go out to awaken sentient beings.
My mother also practices Dafa. Prior to that, she had festering sores on her face. As a result, bones in her face were visible, making her look very scary. She went everywhere for a cure but in vain. By studying the Fa and doing the exercises, she recovered and no longer needed medication. She passed away peacefully in November 2021, at the age of 98. On that day, she still had a rosy complexion. When she was alive, she filed legal complaints against Jiang Zemin (the former CCP head) who initiated the persecution of Falun Dafa. At that time, out of fear, my brother and sister-in-law tried to make her burn Dafa books. She just put the books away and burned some newspapers instead.
My sister-in-law developed vaginal cancer, rectal cancer, and severe anemia. She had to undergo surgery and chemotherapy in Chengdu City. Her doctor said she would only live for another month. Then she ran into a practitioner, who clarified the facts about Dafa to her and taught her the Dafa exercises. After she returned home, she told me that she was truly impressed with what she heard from that practitioner. She asked me to find her a Dafa book, as she also wanted to cultivate Falun Dafa. So I gave her Zhuan Falun.
She recovered from her illnesses once she studied the Fa and did the exercises. But, my brother wasn’t assured and still asked her to get a check-up at the provincial hospital. The diagnosis was that she had recovered. Even her doctor couldn’t believe it. A few years have passed, and she is still in good health. Because of that, her family witnessed the power of Dafa and learned to appreciate the compassion of Master.
One time, I clarified the facts to the owner and his staff at a pharmacy. After they learned the truth, they enjoyed good fortune, and their business improved.
I ran into a young man selling fruit on a market day. He wanted to give me a watermelon. “Last time you talked to me,” he said, “you helped me quit the CCP organizations. You also gave me an amulet. Now my business is doing very well.” I declined to accept his watermelon and said, “It’s only because you believe that Falun Dafa is good, so Master helped you.”
A person who had a vegetable stand asked me, “Please quickly go talk to the beggar couple. They have knelt down there for a while. Their child has developed leukemia, and the family can’t afford the medical expenses. They are begging for money to cover the child’s medical expenses.” Thus, I clarified the facts to them. After they listened to me, they quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
I also gave them some Dafa informational materials. I said, “This is Master saving you. After you go back, please recite ‘Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!’ You’ll be protected by Master.” Right then, the child who had been unconscious for a while suddenly woke up and asked for milk. The couple was very excited and kept saying, “Thank you!” to me. I said, “Please don’t thank me. It’s Master Li who helped your child. I’ve only passed on Dafa’s blessings to you.” Vendors in the area witnessed this scene. They all commented that it was truly miraculous.
One time, I went out to distribute truth-clarification brochures and calendars, where I ran into a soldier. He said, “I saw the persecution in Beijing myself. Cops beat Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) practitioners. Some stepped on them, some beat them. It was so vicious! I got beaten as well even though I was just a bystander. What I saw is the same as what you put down in your informational brochures. It’s so true! Those cops are so vicious. You work so hard, can I give you a ride home?” I thanked him but declined his offer.
People who had learned the truth helped me hand out informational materials, so I finished handing them out within a short time. There were also some who were deeply poisoned by the CCP lies and threatened to report me to the police. I wasn’t afraid, but told them, “Please don’t. It wouldn’t do you any good. Look at those high-ranking CCP officials. They’ve received retribution because they persecuted Falun Dafa. When I tell you the truth about Falun Dafa, it’s so you can be saved. That’s how you will ensure your safety.” After they listened to me, they no longer tried to harm me.
I helped many people quit the CCP. At that time, my thoughts were very righteous. Every year people from out of town came to our village to harvest crops with their harvesting machine. I clarified the facts to many of them, and they were all willing to listen to me. Given the hot weather, I gave them fruit and beverages. They were very touched, saying I was great. I said it’s Master who taught us to think of others' needs first and be a good person. I also said they were good people too. In the end, I helped almost every single one of them quit the CCP organizations.
One time, I clarified the facts to a young man, who picked up his phone and was about to report me. I said, “Do you even dare to do this? This is the Buddha law which saves people. If you were to report me, not only would it not do you any good, but it would also impact your family.” Vendors who overheard said, “Please stop doing that. She does it only for your benefit.”
I went out every day to clarify the facts. Most of the time it achieved a good result. I did Fa-study until midnight. Usually, I only slept two to three hours, four hours at the most. I also had to take care of work in the field and household chores at home. Since my husband was in poor health, I also had to take care of him.
This year, because my husband was against my going out to clarify the facts, out of concern that I’d be arrested, he took down the amulet that I hung on the tree and tossed it into the garbage. After a month he became critically ill. Then he was diagnosed with rectal cancer. He went through the surgery at the hospital and was discharged home one week later. I begged Master, “Master, please save him!” I also said to Master, “I didn’t do well. I let you down and had you worry about me again.”
Master cleansed his body the next day so that he had a big bowel movement. He felt very comfortable after that and had some food. I took care of him at home for a month. I cooked for him, fed him, and sponge-bathed him. As a result, he recovered very quickly. The process also helped me eliminate many of my attachments. My husband has also changed a lot. After he got better, he helped me with household chores, including cooking. This lessened my burden, so I could spend more time clarifying the facts to people.
After my husband got well, he went to have some tea in a tea house one day. Someone said to him, “Your wife goes out every day. See, she didn’t take care of you when you were ill.” My husband said, “She actually looked after me all by herself. She fed me, washed my face, and cleaned my body.” After that, he told me what he said, and thanked me. I told him that he should thank Master. It’s Master that saved you!”
I went out to clarify the facts one day in 2017 but was arrested. I then shouted out loud, “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wonderful!” Four police officers couldn’t force me into a police vehicle. Only when I stopped shouting, could they drag me into the vehicle.
Prior to my detention, I was taken to the hospital for a check-up. A doctor said, “Her heart is functioning well—just like that of a young person.”
When I arrived at the detention center, I refused to sign the paperwork. Then the director signed it for me. After I was admitted to the detention center, inmates said, “Before, our meals were very poor. But since you came, the quality has improved a lot.”
At that time, I sent forth righteous thoughts non-stop day and night. When a guard saw that he asked me, “How come you don’t go to bed? Is it because the mattress is too hard? Let me find a better one for you.”
When I clarified the facts to the guards, they all wanted to listen. One female guard said to me, “A few of our female guards have trouble having babies, because none of us is in good health. Thus, we are always on medications.” I said, “It’s because you persecute practitioners. You have to treat them well, then your health will improve. Before, I had psoriasis really badly. Now there are no traces of it on my feet, ankles, or wrists.” I showed them and said, “Look at my teeth. I used to get terrible toothaches. I also had a tooth missing, which left a gap. Then, suddenly, a new tooth grew.” When the guard saw it, she said, “It’s miraculous!”
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I said I wanted to go home. They said, “Your term is not up yet. You want to go home, that means you are craving moon cakes.” I agreed. Then, they offered me a big moon cake. I took it and shared it with other inmates.
After having been illegally held for 10 days, I returned home. When the director of the police station ordered me to sign the paperwork, I refused again, as I hadn’t done anything wrong. Then they asked me to leave my fingerprints, but I turned them down again. Lastly, they tried to get my family to sign the papers. But I refused one more time. Right then, my grandson also shouted loudly outside, “She won’t sign, won’t sign!” They released me and I went home.
Only after I came home did I find out that police officers had confiscated all my Dafa books. I went to the police station the next day to get them back. A police officer asked me, “You say you are good people, but what have you done?”
I told him: “One time, I was hit by a car in our village and my bicycle was broken in two. At that time, someone was holding a big birthday party in the village. Over 20 young men came to surround the driver. But I let him go without asking for any compensation. Those bystanders didn’t understand me.” After I shared the story, this police officer said, “You are truly a good person.”
The second time, I went to get my Dafa books. The director wanted to handcuff me. I held no fear but only sent forth righteous thoughts. Then the director said he wouldn’t return the books. As soon as I shouted, “Falun Dafa is wonderful! Falun Dafa is a righteous Fa!” He quickly replied, “I’ll give you back those books. Don’t stay here.”
When I was young, my family had a hard time making ends meet. When I mowed the hog grass and walked to the ridge I cried. At that time a fortune-teller passed by, asking why I was crying. So I told him. He comforted me by saying, “You’ll be fine after you pass the age of 40. There will be someone who will save you.” He also said, “You were reincarnated from a crying god.” I asked him what he meant by a crying god. He replied, “As you failed to reach consummation in your previous life.” Now when I began to recall that, I realized Master had taken care of me a long time ago.
Master teaches Dafa practitioners to pursue kindness. When one person came to look for rice, even though we didn’t have any spare, I still gave them a bag of rice. Then another person came looking for food too. I said, “We don’t have anything left. This is the last bag. How about if you split it between you two?” They were so touched by our generosity. Sometimes when other people paid me for what I wasn’t supposed to get, I gave them back everything that didn’t belong to me. Those people all said, “You are the best!”
Many times when I went out to clarify the facts, my heart was so pure that sentient beings were willing to listen to the truth, as well as take informational materials. I never bargained with them when buying vegetables in the market, nor was I picky at selecting vegetables. Sometimes I ended up paying them a bit more. When those vendors saw me, they said, “A great person has come, please buy from me!”
When my mother was sick and I went to take care of her, my two sisters-in-law said, “Sister, please take care of your own matters. We’ll look after our mother.” My family all showed their understanding and supported me.
Thank you, Master, for your compassion once again!
