(Minghui.org) While I attended a teachers’ college, my classmate Jia lived across the hall from me in the dormitory. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners in 1999, and the atmosphere was intense. I had just started practicing Falun Dafa and I read Zhuan Falun, the book containing the principal teachings of the practice. I thought the book was really good, so I offered it to Jia to read. Although she did not read it thoroughly, she was very respectful of Dafa—she always washed her hands before she opened the book. Even though she was a young woman, she really valued loyalty. In her words, she would die for a friend.
Her boyfriend was also my classmate. After he heard that I practiced Falun Dafa, he intended to report me to the Academic Affairs Office. Jia strongly objected and said, “If you report her, I’ll stop seeing you.” Pressured by Jia, he gave up the idea. Jia protected me, a Falun Dafa practitioner, and thus did a good deed.
She visited her boyfriend’s family during the semester break. When her boyfriend and his mother learned that she had a Dafa book, they tried to force her to burn it. She refused and said, “I borrowed this book from my friend. If I burn it, I cannot face her.” She absolutely refused to burn it, thus protecting the Dafa book.
After they graduated, she ended her relationship with her boyfriend. At that time, the college assigned each graduate to a particular position. She was sent back to her hometown, a remote mountain village, to teach. She wasn’t treated well, the pay was very low, and she was unhappy. She once told me that her mother told her to eat chicken to improve her nutrition, and she replied, “With my salary, I can only afford chicken feathers.” Her parents were poor, and she’d had to borrow money to pay for her tuition. I visited her parents’ home once, and I was shocked to see how poor they were—they had no furniture, just a large cat lying on the bare floor.
Right after I started working, I was reported to the police for explaining the truth about Falun Dafa to students. I was closely monitored at home and at work, so I felt depressed. After Jia learned of my situation, she invited me to visit her during the school break and found me a dorm room where I could study the Fa. I clarified the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa to her, and she was very sympathetic and said, “The CCP made you so miserable.” I was in good financial shape at the time, so I paid for our living expenses. She supported me in practicing Falun Dafa under those difficult circumstances. It was a great comfort for me. I returned home after the summer break ended. As I was leaving, she told me I could come back if I could not study the Fa at home.
Jia’s life improved dramatically. She was admitted to a four-year university in a provincial city. She also found a well-paid tutoring job that covered her living expenses. Her previous school also paid her a salary. It was said this never happened at her school before. People believed she must have bribed the principal. She did not.
She attended a prestigious university for her graduate studies and Jia is now a well-known lawyer in a major city. Initially, she studied at a teachers’ college, then she switched her major to English at the university, and she ultimately pursued law in graduate school. She changed her majors several times, she persevered and was successful. She later married a successful husband and no longer has any financial problems. Her journey was incredible. I knew her situation before, but everything changed, including her confidence and abilities. I know Jia was rewarded for supporting Dafa, and this completely transformed her life.
Shortly after I started working, I was reported to the police for talking to people about Falun Dafa. I was heavily monitored at home and at work. I was forbidden to practice the exercises and my life became extremely difficult. Later, a high school friend tried to introduce me to a young man, but I was depressed and had no interest in finding a boyfriend. My friend persisted, so I finally decided to give it a try, hoping it might help lift my spirits.
The young man worked in a technical position at a foreign company outside the city and only returned home during holidays. When I first met him, I told him about Falun Dafa and showed him the video “False Fire.” He learned that the government staged the Tiananmen Square self-immolation. He also copied Zhuan Falun into his notebook. Later, he told me he mistakenly opened the Dafa book on this notebook while he was doing a technical demo for his client. His client was surprised and said, “You believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance?” He realized he made a mistake and replied calmly, “Yes, I believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.” He closed Zhuan Falun, opened the technical demo, and continued the presentation.
At one point he lost his company seal. Misplacing the seal was a serious error, and could lead to disciplinary action, and the process to replace it was daunting. It would require reporting to the police, publishing a lost notice in a provincial-level newspaper, and then having the company send a representative to the police to replace it. He vaguely recalled losing it in a supermarket. Three days later, he went there to search in a desperate, last-ditch effort. To his surprise, he found it. He was amazed and told me, “I feel that this good luck is related to your practicing Falun Dafa!” I was later forced to leave home and move from place to place due to the persecution, so we lost contact.
I know Master is very kind to everyone. As long as people have positive thoughts about Dafa, Master will protect them.
The following story took place when the CCP had just begun persecuting Falun Dafa. A practitioner’s husband, who was very supportive of his wife practicing Falun Dafa, grew increasingly angry by the constant police harassment of his wife. The police station was located close to his home. One day, after drinking, he became emboldened, and went directly to the police station shouting, “Why do you always come to harass us? How have we disturbed you? What bad deed did my wife commit?”
Usually, the police came to his home to harass him. This time the situation was reversed—he went to the police station to confront them and demand an explanation. Several officers came out of the station, looking guilty, and tried hard to persuade him to go home.
The practitioner’s husband had been suffering from heart disease for many years. Typically, this condition would lead to significant suffering, but he passed away with very little distress. A few months later, his wife had a dream in which she saw him happy—his face was radiant. In the dream, he told her, “I am waiting now.” When she woke up, she wondered what he meant by “waiting.” Maybe he was waiting to return to his true place, or for a big reward? She thought perhaps it was a heavenly secret and he couldn’t tell her.
A practitioner’s cousin was diagnosed with cancer. When the persecution began, the practitioner told her cousin the facts about Dafa. Her cousin understood that Dafa is good, practitioners are good people, and the CCP’s persecution is wrong.
Her cousin once noticed a police officer trying to arrest a practitioner. Demonstrating great bravery, she leaped from behind and knocked the officer to the ground. The practitioner took the opportunity to escape.
Later, her cousin asked the practitioner, “How did my cancer disappear?” We knew it was because of her righteous act that day.
There are many similar examples. There are also numerous cases of people facing consequences for doing bad deeds. For instance, the principal who reported me to the police for practicing Dafa was dismissed from his position and was reassigned to teach in the countryside.
Dafa is upright and should be respected. A kind thought about Dafa can bring people happiness and peace.
