Our Family Is Enveloped in the Light of Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Many people within my workplace also practiced Falun Dafa at that time, including the company leaders and employees. After practicing Dafa, my life became fulfilling and happy. After finishing work and having dinner each day, I would take my five-year-old son with me to study the Fa with a group of practitioners. As a result, my son started to practice at a young age. My husband also supported my cultivation, and whenever I had to leave home to study or spread the Fa, he voluntarily took care of our son at home.

On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution campaign against Falun Gong. I missed a few days of work while appealing for justice for Falun Gong and found myself jobless when I tried to return to my workplace. Staff from our local police station and the community committee visited my house every few days to harass my family. My son began hiding whenever he saw uniformed policemen, while my husband wore a constantly worried expression on his face. We led miserable lives during that period.

In 2000, I resigned from my new job and visited Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). In response, the authorities illegally sent me to a forced labor camp. After my release from the forced labor camp, the local police tracked me down. They moved my son’s and my household registration address from our original countryside location to a better location in a town under my husband’s name. Soon after, I found a stable job that gave me a good income. I knew these were blessings from practicing Dafa!

I had to set off for work early each morning, so my husband was the one who burned incense for Master each day. He always generously bought the best fruits to offer Master Li. My husband’s company went bankrupt, and he became unemployed. This happened to coincide with when we were busy moving to a bigger house. After moving in, my husband found a new job with a stable income. With our livelihoods secured, our family enjoyed a carefree and relaxed life.

In the spring of 2014, my husband suddenly found half of his body paralyzed. He was diagnosed with a cerebral infarction and was even found to have diabetes during his hospitalization. I advised my worried and depressed husband not to be afraid as we had Master Li on our side. The following day, I brought my portable MP3 player to the hospital and asked my husband to listen to Master’s Fa lectures. My husband diligently did so each day and was discharged from the hospital a week later.

When he was first discharged, he could not hold his chopsticks, his mouth remained slightly crooked, and his blood sugar and liver transaminase levels remained abnormally high. I played Master’s Fa lecture videos for him to watch. My husband listened attentively and continued to firmly believe in Dafa and Master. In less than 10 days, he could hold his chopsticks normally, and his mouth went back to normal. When his employer urged him to return to work, my husband resumed his normal working hours, listening to Master’s Fa lectures each evening after work. I would return home to the sight of my husband cooking while listening to Master’s lectures.

Within half a year, my husband had fully recovered from both the stroke and diabetes. Diabetes is an incurable disease, and I had not heard of someone being permanently cured before this. This experience increased my husband’s faith in Dafa.

A diligent and responsible worker, my husband easily won over his colleagues and bosses. Sometimes, his colleagues would gossip about Falun Dafa, with some voicing their belief in the rumors and the slander spread by the CCP. My husband would shut them down. “People must have their reasons for practicing Falun Dafa. We are outsiders, so we have no right to judge if they are right or wrong.” His colleagues would stop their slander.

My husband was hit by a driver during a traffic accident once, and he comforted the driver instead: “I'm fine, it’s okay. You don’t have to be afraid. I won’t ask for compensation.” My husband used to be a rigidly self-righteous person who refused to forgive others. If someone bumped into him or stepped on his shoes while on the bus, he would scold the other party before they could even apologize. He changed so much after listening to Master’s teachings, even before becoming a Dafa practitioner. Dafa changed my husband for the better and gave him the blessings of peace and health.

My son had a weak constitution when he was very young and used to visit the hospital often. Whenever the seasons changed, we would pay special attention to his health to prevent him from catching a cold. He was only five years old when I started practicing Dafa, but he became a lifelong practitioner after studying Dafa with me. Since then, my son has never been to the hospital or taken medicine, except for the one occasion when he was in his uncle’s care and was forced to take a pill because his uncle thought he was ill.

My son has a very easygoing personality and never argues with others. After graduating from a local university, he applied and managed to obtain a placement in an overseas university. Despite the distance, my son continued to practice Dafa in his heart. My son takes the train to school, and since there is no ticket inspection process, his classmates do not buy tickets. My son, however, diligently buys a ticket each time. His classmates are slack in their studies and frequently go out whenever they can. My son, in contrast, rarely goes out. Out of consideration for his parents, who are supporting him back in China, my son feels he should not spend money casually and dedicates his time to his studies. My son did not return to China for four years due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and the inability to see him in person triggered my worry for him. Yet he managed to complete his university studies in four years and successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination, gaining admission into a highly ranked university.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, my son’s school established a relief fund for students. Many students flocked to the school, scrambling hastily to apply. Yet my son refused to apply for aid. The pandemic had impacted everyone in the country greatly, and he did not want to take away aid from others who were more needy.

My son returned home last summer in good health. He told me he often listened to Dafa music while he was away. During the month he stayed home, my son studied the Fa each day, and Master Li even cleansed his body for him. Despite his currently being under great pressure from his studies, my son continues to read Zhuan Falun on the weekend. He also had the good fortune to catch a Shen Yun performance live.

Our whole family remains grateful to Dafa and Master Li!
