[Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] Falun Dafa Has Blessed Four Generations of My Family

(Minghui.org) I am now 81 years old. My life was full of suffering and our family lived hand to mouth before I started practicing Falun Dafa in August 1996. Our fortunes changed after that, and my family is now wealthy. My children and grandchildren respect Dafa and sincerely say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

A Life of Misery

I was born in the 1940s in a small town not far from Chongqing. During the Land Reform Movement, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) classified my husband’s family as landlords and discriminated against them. My husband was frequently assigned heavy and tiring work by the local production team but was paid less than others. During that time, I gave birth to two daughters and two sons. Because our family was discriminated against, our four children were only allowed to finish elementary school.

Both of my sons fell ill shortly after they were born. Just as my oldest recovered, the younger fell ill again and was sick for more than two years. On top of taking care of them, I had to do complete the heavy farm labor the local production team had assigned me. My body weakened over time, and I fell ill with serious stomach problems, gynecological issues, anemia, and cirrhosis. Our family visited the village doctor, Dr. Zhang, every two to three days, and most of our income went to covering medical expenses. Occasionally, we had to sell our family’s rice to pay for the boys’ treatment. We had nothing to eat. Fortunately, our kind neighbors helped us, so we did not starve.

Despite spending a fortune, I did not get better and even worsened. Tortured by pain and discomfort, I could hardly eat, and I got very weak. Unable to work in the fields, I became a burden to my family. My husband also suffered from poor health due to overwork. To support our family, my oldest daughter had to take on tasks meant for an adult when she was only ten years old.

After struggling with ill health for over ten years, my chief concern was that I would die and my young children would be left on their own. How could they cope without me? Yet I had little hope of improving our circumstances, and I often wept.

Falun Dafa Gave Me a New Life

A qigong enthusiast, Dr. Zhang used to travel all over China to learn different forms of qigong. However, none of the practices he encountered were effective for healing and health. In 1995, he saw some Falun Dafa books at a stall and quickly realized that Falun Dafa was the righteous practice he had been searching for. When Falun Dafa was introduced to our village, he set up a practice site at his home.

In August 1996, Dr. Zhang visited us. He advised me, “Many sick people were cured after practicing Falun Dafa, without taking medicine or getting injections. You can definitely get better if you practice.” I was skeptical to hear I could benefit so much without paying. I said, “I’ve been treated for so many years but I was not cured. Yet this qigong practice can cure me without injections or medicine? I don’t believe it.” My husband encouraged me, “Go try it. Maybe you really will get better.”

At my husband’s behest, I visited Dr. Zhang’s home to learn the Falun Dafa exercises. While I was learning the second exercise, I saw a brilliant rotating Falun before my eyes.

A month later while renovating our house, I suddenly discovered I had the strength to move and lift heavy objects. My appetite also improved and I could eat normally. The pain that had tormented me for years vanished. I was elated to be light and free from illness. My chronic illnesses that tormented me for more than ten years were gone after I’d practiced Falun Gong for a month. My family and neighbors were impressed by Falun Dafa’s miraculous power.

My Youngest Son Is Blessed

My youngest son followed his older cousin to find work at a Beijing construction site when he was in his teens. He wanted to learn how to tie steel scaffolds from a master, but the person he originally approached thought he was stupid, because he’d only finished elementary school and looked simple-minded. He did not want to accept my son as an apprentice. My son subsequently found another master willing to teach him the craft. Because he was very capable, my son was soon promoted from a lowly steel bar worker to a foreman in charge of dozens of laborers.

Seeing how talented he was, competing companies approached him and tried to entice him to work for them by offering him higher salaries. When my son turned them down, his boss was impressed and decided to groom him as his successor. My son grew the business, and it became a relatively large-scale labor service enterprise in Beijing, with over 10,000 employees on the payroll at one point. Despite being the wealthiest man in our county, my son remains low-key, does not show off, and continues to live frugally.

My youngest son continues to support my cultivation efforts. At the start of the persecution, I went to Beijing to appeal for fair treatment for Falun Dafa and was illegally detained. My son never criticized me, even though my practicing Falun Dafa made him a target of the authorities. He often gives me money, which I donate to our local Dafa materials distribution site. He often says, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” When he is on an airplane and there is turbulence, that is the first thing he says.

My youngest son attributes his unlikely good fortune—from a steelworker with a limited education to a real estate boss—to the blessings bestowed by Falun Dafa. Despite the current real estate downturn, his company is doing well in comparison to his peers.

A Miracle That Spared My Daughter a Huge Financial Loss

My youngest daughter and her husband started a seafood business in a city market soon after they married. She called me one day and said, “Mom, we were broken into and almost had our savings stolen.” When I asked her what happened, she replied, “I usually leave home and go downstairs to work in our market stall every morning and return home only after closing up at 2 p.m. But that morning, I was outside for only half an hour when I felt unwell and really hot even though it was rather cool out. I decided to go home and wash my face with cold water.

“Once upstairs, I saw our main door ajar and knew someone had broken in. I hurried downstairs to call the security guard and my husband. When we came back and went in, we saw the thieves had carried our safe from our bedroom to the living room and left it lying less than two meters from the main door. The door of the safe was covered in scratches, indicating the thieves had attempted to pry it open. They were unsuccessful and left it. If I’d shown up even a few seconds later, the thieves would have made it out the door with our safe. Because goods are often moved up and down in our building, moving a covered safe would have drawn little attention. Perhaps their lookout saw me coming up the stairs and they escaped through another route.”

That safe contained hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash and IOUs. This happened 20 years ago, and that was a lot of money at the time. When my son-in-law heard about the burglary, he thought, “We’re finished. The money we’ve worked so hard to earn over the years is gone.” But they did not lose even a penny, and everyone in the market was amazed.

In 2000, the police arrested and illegally detained me when I went to Beijing to protest the persecution of Falun Dafa. My youngest daughter went everywhere and talked to all kinds of people to try to secure my release. Her honesty also led her to return the tens of thousands of yuan she’d once picked up to its rightful owner. I told her, “It’s because you support Falun Dafa and have quit the CCP. Because of your kind heart, Dafa protected you and prevented you from suffering any loss.”

Recovering from Depression by Saying “Falun Dafa Is Good”

Five years ago, my youngest daughter called me and said, “Mom, I feel so miserable that I don’t want to live anymore. I can’t sleep at night and I feel weak.” The seafood business really stressed her out, and her husband had recently lent a large sum of money to someone she feared wouldn’t pay them back. The worry and stress led her to fall into depression. Her symptoms worsened, so she went to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with severe depression. The family had to hire a caregiver to take care of her.

I advised her to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to cure her depression. She was skeptical but followed my instructions. Despite reciting it halfheartedly, she saw improvement in her condition. Her discomfort and suicidal thoughts lessened.

Toward the end of 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and quickly spread across China. The market where my youngest daughter worked was placed under quarantine. My son-in-law was the first to come down with the virus, followed by my daughter. She ran a fever that afternoon and was unable to sleep. At that point, she recalled the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” that I taught her. She recited all night and, by dawn, had fully recovered.

When she called to inform me of this good news, I replied, “Having personally experienced the power of this phrases, you should stop being halfhearted and recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” sincerely each day. Your depression will definitely disappear.”

My daughter took my advice and sincerely recited the phrases. Soon after, her depression lifted and the family no longer needed to hire caregivers for her. To this day my daughter still recites the phrases, sometimes even unconsciously through the night to the point that she wakes up still reciting them.

Not long after my grandson’s (my eldest son’s son) married, his wife was diagnosed with moderate depression. None of the medications she tried worked, and because of their side effects which could adversely affect an unborn child, she decided not to take them. One day, my grandson said to his wife, “You’ve tried so many medications, but nothing works. Why don’t we visit my family home and consult my grandmother?”

During the couple’s visit, I told my grandson’s wife the truth behind the persecution of Falun Dafa. She said, “I’ve believed in gods, Buddha, and karma since I was a child, so I believe everything you say.” When I advised her to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” she agreed. After ten days, her symptoms improved. I advised her, “Your condition has improved for the better after reciting the phrases. Falun Dafa does not prevent people from taking medicine, so it is your choice to continue or stop taking it.” She replied, “I’ve decided not to take it since I’ve already recovered.”

My grandson’s wife got pregnant soon after recovering from her depression, and I advised her, “Isn’t there a concept of fetal education? Reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” daily is better than any education you can find out there.” My grandson’s wife recited the phrases every day, and the day she had the baby, her obstetrician said, “In all my years of experience, your baby was in the most ideal fetal position I’ve ever seen in any woman.” My great-grandchild was especially healthy at birth.

My grandson’s wife was about to head home from running errands in the city when a violent thunderstorm hit. Many drivers had pulled over and dared not go on. In a hurry to get home, she suddenly remembered she could ask Falun Dafa’s Master for help. She said, “Master, it’s raining so hard, I can’t see the road. But I need to go home. Please help me.” The rain suddenly let up even though it continued to pour in the distance. She managed to return home safely.

Granddaughter’s Illness Cured

My youngest son’s daughter started to suffer from abnormal breathing three months after she was born. Doctors discovered a tumor between her heart and lungs. Surgery to remove the tumor was risky, and it might cost her her life. But if they didn’t operate, the tumor would continue to grow and fill her lung cavity, preventing her from breathing and eventually suffocating her to death. Faced with no choice, the family decided to go ahead with the surgery.

The day of the surgery, more than 12 family members, including my son, his wife and my eldest daughter, gathered outside the operating room. The high stakes of the surgery and the pain the baby would have to endure left everyone in tears. After a while, my oldest daughter told everyone, “The baby’s grandmother practices Falun Dafa. Several people in our family followed her advice and said “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” whenever they encountered danger, and miracles happened. It’s useless to cry, so why don’t we silently say “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” together?” At her suggestion, everyone silently said the words.

The operation was long but successful, and the doctor was able to remove the tumor the size of a duck egg from my granddaughter’s chest. After the anesthesia wears off, most patients are in pain after surgery like that. To keep my granddaughter from moving due to pain and dislodging all the tubes coming out of her, the nurses secured her hands and feet with restraints. To everyone’s surprise, my granddaughter did not cry or fuss, and lay quietly on her bed as though she felt no pain at all. Many hospital staff came to visit to see this amazing sight.

My granddaughter’s doctor advised my son and his wife, “Your daughter’s surgery was successful, but there are bigger problems ahead. This condition has a very high rate of recurrence, so we must check on her every six months until she’s 18 years old. She will be out of danger if it does not recur by then.” My daughter-in-law worriedly told me, “Other children fully recover with injections and medication when they get sick. But we will have to worry about her health until she turns 18.” I said, “Your family has withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party, the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers. Not only that, all of you support Falun Dafa. Your daughter will be fine.”

When my granddaughter was just over two years old, my daughter-in-law decided to bring her to visit us. At first, I fussed at my daughter-in-law: “It’s so hot here. Beijing is much cooler. Why bring her here now when it’s so hot?” When they arrived, I told my granddaughter, “You’ve overcome a big tribulation. Remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” My granddaughter immediately shouted, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I was shocked at her unexpected reply and loud voice, and realized Master arranged for her to return so she could shout those two sentences. Her declaration ensured her illness would no longer recur. She and my daughter-in-law returned to Beijing two days later.

After that, her parents stopped taking her for regular checkups and my granddaughter never fell ill. Two years ago she visited the hospital for a physical exam after suffering from excessive stress due to her studies. All the tests confirmed that she was healthy. My granddaughter is now a beautiful young lady, and our family remains very grateful to Dafa.

Grandson’s ADHD Cured After Reciting “Falun Dafa Is Good”

My grandson used to suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  The doctor told us, “Although his condition is not life-threatening, some of his behaviors may be irrritating to others. It may result in other psychological disorders, such as an inferiority complex, because such people are usually discriminated against by their classmates. The only treatment is to take medication.” I originally saw my grandson’s ADHD symptoms as normal—a sign that he was active and naughty. But given this diagnosis, I realized he was suffering from an incurable neurological problem.

Additionally, my grandson suffered from chronic fecal incontinence. At first, we thought he did this deliberately to seek attention. But even though his parents beat and scolded him, he continued to have this problem. Later, we discovered his frequent incontinence was likely caused by psychological issues.

I advised my grandson to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” After reciting for a period of time, his ADHD and fecal incontinence resolved.

Conclusion

Falun Dafa saved my life; blessed my family, relatives, and friends with many miracles; and even saved us from danger multiple times when we sincerely said “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

I sincerely hope everyone in the world supports and respects Falun Dafa and receives Falun Dafa’s protection and blessings.
