My Grandson Changed After Watching the Movie “Once We Were Divine”

Feb. 24, 2025 |   By Xunuo, a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) I have an 11-year-old granddaughter and a 6-year-old grandson. My grandson was very naughty. He was always extremely active, as long as his eyes were open. The only time he was still was when he was asleep. Although my grandson is five years younger than his sister, he had never showed any weakness when he fought with her. His sister always let him have his way, but when she couldn’t hold it in she would punch and kick him. His sister was often in tears and shouted, “I don’t want this brother anymore; I don’t want him anymore!”

A teacher talked with his father about him being naughty and disruptive in kindergarten. We learned that he was strong and domineering in class. More than 40 children were in his class, and there was only one child he would not mess with. He dared to mess with everyone else and often made other children cry. Because he did not follow the rules, the teacher was also upset. When he made other children cry, the teacher was afraid that the children’s parents would come to school and complain, so she tried her best to make the children happy. Sometimes she gave my grandson a toy and then asked him to apologize to the other children. If the children who were made to cry felt happy, the teacher felt relieved. 

My grandson is naturally fearless. Local practitioners were persecuted last year; more than a dozen had their homes illegally searched in one day, and they were seized by the police. Six plainclothes police officers had broken into my home that night. Before they entered, the leader said, “We are from the Public Security Bureau. There is something that involves you. You have to go with us.” Of course, I didn’t cooperate with them. I quickly asked Master to help me in my heart. They entered the house and stood there without moving.

My grandson was standing on the sofa at the time. He was not scared at all. When he saw them coming in, he shouted happily, “Wow, so many of you.” As he spoke, he jumped off the sofa, ran to each police officer, opened his arms and said, “Can you hug me?” The police officers happily bent down and hugged him. His actions immediately eased the tense atmosphere. I knew that Master was helping me.

The lead police officer asked me to go with them for a while and said that I could come back quickly. I said, “I’m not going anywhere. You can’t carry me away tonight.” After hearing this, the lead police officer went out to make a phone call. After making the call, he didn’t press me to go with them. He just looked around the room and led his people away. The incident was resolved in just ten minutes with Master’s help.

Once We Were Divine

I got the movie Once We Were Divine and played it on the computer for my grandchildren one night. The children lay on the bed, head to head, and watched it intently. No one spoke during the movie. When they had watched two-thirds of the way through, it was almost 10 p.m. They had to go to school the next day, so I asked them to pause it and go to bed, and told them we would continue watching it the next day. After urging them several times, they reluctantly agreed.

The divine side of the children, especially my grandson’s, was awakened after watching the movie. I can’t describe his excitement. He kept running around the room. He came to me and asked, “Grandma, when will Master come to pick us up?” I replied, “We have to wait until Master’s Fa-rectification ends.” He then came to me again and asked me excitedly, “Grandma, when will Master’s Fa-rectification end?” I said, “Dafa disciples haven’t saved enough people, so Grandma goes out to clarify the truth every day. Besides, Dafa disciples haven’t cultivated well, so Master keeps waiting.” He remembered what I said.

The next day in kindergarten, he started to clarify the truth. On the way home from school, he said to me, “Today the teacher taught us to sing the song ‘Without the communist party, there would be no new China’ but I didn’t sing it. I kept my mouth shut and didn’t sing it. After class, I told others: ‘The communist party is a big evil dragon. It has killed so many people. It is the worst.’ But they didn’t believe it. Grandma, why don’t they believe it?” I told him it was because they did not understand the truth.

During those days, whenever someone sang the evil Party’s songs in kindergarten, he would tell others that the communist party is a big evil dragon. I told him not to say that in kindergarten, but he said, “I told my friends that the communist party is bad, but I didn’t say Falun Gong. I only said the communist party.” I felt that Master had given the child wisdom.

I found an amulet at home for my granddaughter to wear around her neck, and he wanted one after seeing it. I said there was only one, but he wanted it. I had to find one from a local practitioner. I hung it around his neck, and he was happy. I told him, “When you wear the amulet, you must not discredit Dafa, you must not bully other children, and you must be a good person.” He said he understood.

The next day, when I went to pick him up after school, he had hung the amulet outside of his clothes. I asked him, “Why did you hang the amulet outside your clothes?” He said, “I showed it to the others today. They all touched my amulet, and some even kissed it. They all liked it, and I was very happy today.” I asked him, “Did the teachers see it?” He said, “Yes, all three teachers saw it, and they also saw the words on it, but they didn’t say anything to me.”

The kindergarten has a rule that children are not allowed to wear anything around their necks or wrists. The teachers didn’t mind this amulet, and my grandson wore it every day. I also told him that the amulet was extraordinary because Master was always watching over him. After hearing this, he felt even more honored and proud.

My grandson’s behavior has changed. In the past, the teacher often scolded him or made him stand up because he didn’t follow the rules. After he no longer made other children cry and corrected his previous improper behavior, his teacher seemed to have realized that he had changed. One day, his teacher said, “It turns out that Kaizer (alias for my grandson) is very handsome.” My grandson is smart and is the best dancer in his class. During their New Year party, the teacher put him in the most prominent position, and the rhythm of his movements was outstanding.

My grandson has watched the movie at least four times. He completely recognizes the nature of the vicious communist party.
