(Minghui.org) When everyone was under lockdown during the pandemic, I volunteered to deliver food and medicine to people in need, both young and old. I also gave some basic necessities to our neighbors. I was not afraid at all. My colleagues and family members admire me for what I did to this day.
I was lucky to be assigned a job in a large state-run enterprise that was listed as one of the top 500 companies in the world in the early 90s. I worked in the finance department, which everyone wished to join by pulling some strings. My company did everything it could to give bonuses to the employees in the form of annual bonuses, quarterly bonuses, monthly bonuses, and bonuses for such and such activities. We ate at every famous restaurant in our city.
We talked about how to eat healthily and how to dress beautifully in the office. When a new restaurant or somewhere fun opened, we would definitely go to eat or check it out. We took turns going traveling during summer. When new technology in our profession came up, the company would train us on it. Everyone also had their own apartment from allocation.
Though I was young, I lived comfortably. However, I often felt lonely and empty and didn’t know what the meaning of life was.
I got the book Zhuan Falun from a family member when I was thirty years old because I wanted to improve my health. I finished reading the book in one go. Since then, I’ve figured out my goal in life and I no longer feel lost. I feel assured. I get up early and practice the Falun Dafa exercises every day. I’ve become energetic. Every time I finish reading Zhuan Falun, I take fame and personal interest more lightly without my realizing it. I am happy all day long.
In the past, I fraudulently got medication for my mother using my own name and got reimbursed by my company. Because I had good relationships with everyone, my manager always approved my reimbursement requests. I took it for granted. But after practicing Falun Dafa, I realized that I shouldn’t do that. According to my company policy, the things I received should not have been reimbursed. To try and fool the system, I asked the doctor to change the word “tonic” into a generic medicine that could be expended. I made a false claim and it wasn’t truthful. Additionally, the medicine was for my family members, not for myself. The company lost money because of my actions and I lost my virtue. Since taking up the Falun Dafa practice, I no longer do this kind of thing. I’ve become healthy and no longer take any medication. As a result, I have saved significant medical expenses for my company.
I was in the finance department. People often asked for our help and gave us bribes. I realized that these practices were not in line with the Fa. I told those people that as a Falun Dafa practitioner, I should do my job well. I returned the money to them. They, as well as my colleagues, were surprised. Few people could do what I did nowadays. Most people are greedy.
A project manager asked me to make a list of employees who were entitled to a bonus. After I finished making the list, I learned that all the employees worked hard. I had a comfortable job and didn’t even break a sweat. I took my name off the list as I shouldn’t have a heart of greed and the bonus was to reward those who worked hard. Though I was a member of the project, I didn’t contribute to any of their project work. I shouldn’t be entitled to the bonus just because I was in the finance department and handled others’ bonuses. The project manager felt it was strange and repeatedly requested that I added my name to the list so that I could get a bonus, but I declined.
The manager of the finance department learned what I did and said that I was foolish. Everyone fought for bonuses and asked for more while I didn’t. My colleagues, however, admired me and came to know that Falun Dafa practitioners were not selfish or greedy. As a result, they’ve come to know that Falun Dafa is good. They all protected me even when many practitioners were severely persecuted. They didn’t let me experience any harm. They know that practitioners are very kind.
My colleagues get along well with me. They like to confide in me and say I am happy like getting some treasure. Yes, I got the priceless treasure of Falun Dafa.
It was common that my colleagues would fight for fame, positions, and personal interests, but I never do. I consider each colleague to be part of my family. I am ready to help anyone and am close to everyone. Everyone gets along well with me. I comply with the Fa’s principles and take things lightly.
My wisdom has been unlocked. I have done my job exceptionally well with little effort. My financial analysis became the model for my company; I was often praised.
Each employee at my company had a thorough physical examination once. Many people had diseases and illnesses; some even had cancer. I, of course, was very healthy. I haven’t taken any medicine in the past twenty-plus years. Even during the pandemic, I didn’t worry about whether I would be infected.
I have never wavered my belief in Falun Dafa since I started practicing it more than 20 years ago. I will never give it up. I see more clearly where my final destination will be.
