(Minghui.org) While riding my electric bike one winter night, I saw a large stone lying in the road. I got off my bike and moved the stone to the side of the road. I thought, “Someone might run into it and be badly injured!” A man passing by asked who would care about something like that these days. I replied, “I practice Falun Dafa. My master, Master Li, wants us to be good people, so I must be considerate of others.”
The man exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is good!”
Another time, I was on my bike in a rural area when I saw a man driving away after repairing his vehicle. I saw he’d used a large stone to do the repair and he’d left it out it in the rod. I got off my bike and pushed it off to the side. It was hard to do because I was skinny and not very strong Several drivers passing by honked their horns to thank me!
It was so hot one summer day that it was hard to breathe. On my way home from work, I saw a man lying on the sidewalk. None of the passersby were paying him any attention, so I hurried over. I saw that he was elderly and asked him, “What’s wrong?” He didn’t answer. I suspected that he had heatstroke.
A young couple was passing by, and I noticed the man had a bottle of mineral water in his hand. I said, “This man must have heatstroke. Can you give him some water, please?” He handed me the bottle. I shook the old man lightly and said, “Drink some water, please!” He opened his eyes slightly, took the water, and drank a few sips.
I helped him to stand up and asked where he lived. He said he lived nearby, so I offered to take him home. He thanked me and said he could make it by himself. When I saw that he could walk without a problem, I left.
“You Don’t Know How Good She Is!”
After I started practicing Falun Dafa, I became cheerful and was in a good mood all the time. I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, treated my colleagues with compassion, and did my job with diligence. My colleagues were all willing to discuss things with me. The company leaders were reassured when they knew that I was on duty.
I worked in the control room. Every time I was on duty, I cleaned the room thoroughly. Seven of us worked in that room, but I was the only one who cleaned it. Following Master’s guidance to think of others first, I cleaned it without complaint.
One coworker’s husband was in the military. When her baby was due, her husband was on assignment far away and couldn’t get home in time. I stayed with her in the hospital all night until the baby was born and her parents-in-law arrived. When the child was over a year old, she talked to me about her difficulties taking care of her baby by herself and asked me what she could do. I advised her to talk to the department director and ask to be transferred to a location closer to her home. Her request was soon honored.
Her husband later retired from the military and became the deputy director of a detention center. While I was in prison, my family was not allowed to visit me because I refused to give up my belief. That coworker’s husband visited me and, after that, I was allowed family visits.
Another coworker had an affair, and she talked to me about it. I cautioned her not to destroy two families and advised her to transfer to another location as soon as possible. She requested a transfer closer to her parents-in-law. The move left the two families intact.
Whenever my colleagues had difficulties, I tried my best to help them. If someone called me wanting time off for family matters, I helped to arrange for someone to take their place. If no one was available, I did the extra work to cover their shift.
My coworkers also treated me very well. While I was incarcerated in a forced labor camp, many of then came to visit me. One who was close to giving birth also came. She burst into tears when she saw me. Another one left her three-month-old baby at home and traveled more than 30 miles to the labor camp. She also burst into tears when she saw me. A coworker who could not come because of work sent her husband to visit me. The guards were moved. A coworker said to the guards who were there, “You don’t know how good she is!”
My family spoiled me growing up. Educated in the Party culture, I became self-centered. I did not accept criticism, could not bear any grievances, and was arrogant. After I started practicing, my health and moral standards improved greatly. My coworkers all admired me. It is Master and Dafa that taught me to always thinks of others first. Although I know that I’m still far from the standards required by Dafa, I will be more diligent in my cultivation.
My Mother-in-Law exclaims: “I thank Master Li Hongzhi!”
My husband and I had a good relationship when we first married, but for some reason, my mother-in-law started saying unpleasant things to me. Over time, I started to resent her.
My family was not well off, so we took out a loan and bought a vehicle to transport goods. Our business did well and we made money. However, my husband had an affair. It was like a bolt out of the blue. Looking at my two sons, I didn’t know what to do. I resented my husband for being ungrateful and hated the other woman for destroying my family. I was depressed for several years, and my health deteriorated. I was plagued with ailments and became emaciated.
I thought that, if I died, my children would be without a mother, so I chose to divorce instead. My mother-in-law threatened that I would not get custody of any of my children, so I resented her even more. I eventually left with my younger son.
My rough life brought me to the brink of mental collapse. I suffered from neurasthenia, chronic nephritis, gastritis, and other ailments. While in despair, I was fortunate to come across Falun Dafa in 1996. Dafa taught me the true meaning and purpose of life. I stopped resenting others and started to think about my ex-husband and his family.
During holidays, my ex-husband and I exchanged our children so that the two boys could get to know their father and mother. I bought food for my son to take to to my ex-husband’s family. Under my influence, his new spouse also recognized the goodness of Dafa.
After my former mother-in-law came back from out-of-town, nobody took care of her, so I often visited her. I was imprisoned, then displaced for years. I was also in debt and did odd jobs to make a living. I lived frugally and only bought discounted groceries and never bought new clothes for myself. I wore used clothes that others gave me.
However, I bought my former mother-in-law new clothes and brought her food that she liked when I visited her. I bathed her, washed her clothes, including her underwear, and cleaned her home regularly. Whenever the weather changed, I worried about her wellbeing. I took care of her as if she were my own mother.
She was moved and often said, “I have gained a daughter in my old age.” She told the brother of my ex-husband about how I’d changed. When the brother saw me, he called me “Dear Sister.” When he was hospitalized, I helped him buy necessities and told him that he would be blessed if he sincerely recited “Falun Dafa is good.”
He recited the words and a miracle happened. He no longer needed to have heart bypass surgery. The whole family was overjoyed. He was once a Party secretary in the village, but he agreed to quit the CCP and its youth organization.
My former in-laws have all witnessed my positive changes since I started practicing Falun Dafa. I once overheard my former mother-in-law say to my ex-husband’s brother, “I thank Master Li Hongzhi. When he comes back, I will go to him and thank him for teaching her to be such a good person!”
I’m grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation, and I’m grateful to my coworkers and fellow practitioners who helped me though the most difficult times!
Thank you, Master!
