70-year-old Farmer Learns to Read Zhuan Falun and Becomes Younger Looking

Ms. Liu (Grandma Liu) is in her 70s this year. When she was a child, she developed two lumps on her back that eventually dislocated her shoulder, which was a great inconvenience. Around 2009, she suffered from severe lower back pain and could not use the stairs. She had taken a lot of medicine, but her condition did not improve.

Under the guidance of a Falun Dafa practitioner named Wu, Grandma Liu was lucky to start practicing Falun Dafa in 2010. She couldn’t recognize many words, so she just listened to the recordings of Master Li’s lecture series. Her heart became very firm in practicing Dafa.

After understanding the truth about Dafa, she became more diligent in listening to the Fa. She got up in the middle of the night to do the exercises every day. She also strictly followed the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

No matter how many conflicts there were with her daughter-in-law, she always looked for her own problems, let go of resentment, helped her daughter-in-law cook, did light farm work, and took care of her two grandchildren. Her body soon changed dramatically. Not only did her lower back pain disappear, but she could also work in the fields. She was even more capable than when she was younger. Her family witnessed the miraculous nature of Dafa.

Grandma Liu was envious when she saw other practitioners reading Zhuan Falun together, as she wanted to be able to read the book herself. She participated in a Fa-study group every week, but when the other practitioners read, she could only listen. When practitioners Wu and Gao noticed her dilemma, they discussed teaching Grandma Liu to read Zhuan Falun.

Grandma Liu could not read Chinese characters accurately, so she practiced reading Master’s lectures over and over again. On the first day, she read only two pages of Zhuan Falun with Wu and Gao, which took her two and a half hours. But she was not discouraged, and insisted on taking a bus from the countryside to the city twice a week to read Zhuan Falun with other practitioners.

Gao reminded Grandma Liu to hold Zhuan Falun with both hands, and sit upright, and Wu patiently taught Grandma Liu to read. Gradually, she could read more pages every time they read together. She can now read about a dozen pages in a little over an hour. After six or seven months, she completed reading Zhuan Falun and could recognize over one hundred Chinese characters.

By following other practitioners to study Zhuan Falun, Grandma Liu’s understanding of Dafa has also deepened. She has gotten rid of many attachments, such as not being able to take criticism, being competitive, arguing, and the pursuit of personal gain.

She can walk without swinging her body, and her shoulders have re-aligned. Her complexion changed from a sallow to rosy, and her face now has fewer wrinkles. She looks ten years younger.

When other practitioners observed her changes, they praised the extraordinary powers of Dafa. Grandma Liu is ever grateful to Master for his supreme grace, and believes in Dafa more firmly.

Ten-Year-Old Girl’s Mild Depression Disappears

Yuan is ten years old this year. Her aunt is a Falun Dafa practitioner. As soon as Yuan was born, her aunt held her and told her to remember, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” When Yuan was a little older, her aunt told her the facts about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) evil nature. Although Yuan was young, she still understood.

Her aunt told her to ask Master for protection and not join the CCP’s Young Pioneers. As a result, her second grade teacher did not ask Yuan to join the Young Pioneers. However, the teacher still gave Yuan a red scarf because the school required students to wear one before they could enter the school gate. Yuan would put the scarf in her pocket, and when students on duty at the gate blocked her, she took out the scarf to show them, then quickly put it back in her pocket when they were not paying attention.

Yuan had difficulties in her studies during the first semester of the fourth grade. She often couldn’t finish the assigned homework and was scolded and punished by her mother. Yuan was unhappy, irritable, and lost her appetite. Her complexion became pale. She was afraid of going to school, and became depressed. Her mother was very worried.

There was heating in my aunt’s house, so Yuan was sent there by her mother. Yuan loved her aunt, and felt that she could understand her better than her mother. After all, her aunt studied Falun Dafa, and she could sense her aunt’s selfless dedication. She gradually got used to life with her aunt and would sometimes forget about her parents, who were working out of town. But Yuan’s health was still poor and she ate just a little.

Her aunt took Yuan to a practitioner’s home to study the Fa on the weekends. Yuan was very eager to read the Dafa books. Even when she was tired of reading, she insisted on finishing one lecture. After finishing Lecture Six, Yuan was once so tired that she immediately went to sleep. But when her aunt took Yuan home the next day, she ran up to the third floor, two steps a time. Her aunt was very happy and said to Yuan, “Master has taken care of you!” Yuan was very happy and learned the five Dafa exercises from her aunt. She became a little Dafa disciple!

Yuan loves to read poems in Hong Yin. She can study Hong Yin I to Hong Yin VI for more than two hours. She has also learned many traditional Chinese characters, and does the exercises with her aunt whenever she has time.

Yuan laughs more, and her face has turned rosy. She would hiccup as soon as she started doing the exercises, which expelled a lot of gas pressing on her chest. Yuan now knows when she’s hungry and can taste food again. What’s even more gratifying is that she’s no longer afraid of going to school or doing homework. She also goes out with her aunt to distribute truth clarification materials.

Yuan and her aunt are both grateful to Master. The Fa cleared away the fears in Yuan’s heart and pointed out the proper direction in life. Yuan has received blessings from Dafa, and I hope that more people can understand the truth as soon as possible. Stay away from the CCP and be saved by Dafa!
