(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner living in the countryside. I clearly remember that in October 1998, several Dafa practitioners came to our village to spread the Fa, and I was lucky to start practicing Dafa as a result. Shortly after, the back pain that had troubled me for years, disappeared.

I never expected that in July 1999, such a good practice would be persecuted by Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and his evil group.

It was around that time that my three-year-old son was playing in the backyard and accidentally got a long rope used to tie sheep wrapped around his neck. He was too little to untangle himself. I was working on the opposite side of the house, and no one else was home. I heard him crying and ran out, but it was too late! My son’s eyes had rolled back into his head due to lack of oxygen to his brain. Although he was resuscitated, he was no longer of critical thinking.

This sudden blow made me extremely sad! I shed tears daily and borrowed lots of money to take my son to hospitals in big cities for treatment, but nothing the doctors did helped. The blow was so great that it made me stray from Dafa. My lower back pain returned, along with the pain caused by sciatica as well as tachycardia. Everything came at one. I also had to take care of my son day and night. I was heartbroken.

An older practitioner came to visit me one day. She said, “Come back and study Dafa. Hurry up! Continue practicing!” I asked her if Master would still take me as his disciple, considering I was so hopeless.

The practitioner told me, “Master is merciful. As long as you practice sincerely, how can he abandon you?” I agreed. My son’s situation would not change, no matter how much I worried. It would be better to let go of the attachment and continue to practice.

I started practicing Falun Dafa for the second time. I studied the Fa seriously and did the exercises diligently. My back pain quickly went away, my hips no longer hurt, and my heart issue disappeared. I felt mentally relaxed and I was healthy again.

My mother-in-law passed away, and my father-in-law lived with another son. When my husband and I got married, we moved into a new house. I had borrowed money from my father-in-law seeking a cure his grandson. He later asked me to repay him. I had no money to pay him back, so he told us to move out of the new house and live in his old house, saying that the new house would be for his other son who would soon be getting married. However, when my brother-in-law got married, he lived with his wife’s family. He didn’t take care my father-in-law any longer, so I said to my husband, “Let your father live with us. I am a Dafa cultivator. Master teaches me that practitioners should think of others first.” My husband was very happy to hear that.

My father-in-law had a bad temper and was very stubborn. He was over 70 years old, in poor health, and in a wheelchair. My husband and I took good care of him. However, one day my father-in-law said that he had lost his money and accused me of stealing it. He went to the top of the street and shouted, so all of the neighbors would know! I was so angry that I burst into tears. I said, “I am a Dafa practitioner. How could I steal your money?” Then, I remembered what Master said:

“You might claim that you actually did not know it at that time, and this lifetime has nothing to do with another lifetime, but that won’t do.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

I was no longer angry. Nothing happens by chance for cultivators. A new test had come. I said to my father-in-law, “Please look carefully. I really didn’t take your money.” My husband later found the money in the wheelchair. After this incident, I didn’t hold a grudge against my father-in-law and took good care of him just as before. A neighbor said that those who practice Falun Dafa are different from others, as they are kindhearted and do not hold grudges.

My father-in-law later suffered from Alzheimer’s and could not get out of bed. He often made a mess, as he was totally incontinent. When I noticed, I would clean him up immediately, and if my husband was around, he would help. I carefully attended to him and served him meals daily.

At the same time, I needed to take care of my son, but I no longer worried about looking after the two of them. I took care of my father-in-law for six years until he passed away peacefully. Unfortunately, until his death, my brother-in-law didn’t come to see him.

If I hadn’t come back to Dafa, I would have never been able to do this. I am grateful to compassionate and great Master, and thankful for the great virtue of Dafa, which has truly changed me. Master taught me that I must be a good person, better than a kind person. Falun Dafa has brought my family harmony, physical and mental health, and happiness. I sincerely hope that all kind people in the world will understand the beauty of Falun Dafa and be illuminated by the Buddha’s light.

Now, whenever I have time, I clarify the truth face to face to passersby and students at my doorstep. The villagers have seen that I am very good to the elderly, and admitted that those who practice Falun Dafa are all good people. They also believe me when I say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
