By a practitioner in Heilongjiang Province

(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa two months before July 20, 1999. Because of my strong faith in Teacher and Dafa, I have been able to persevere and follow Teacher through all difficulties.

Before obtaining the Fa, my health was very poor, and I had all kinds of diseases. In just the first few days of learning the Fa, my body underwent significant changes. After I finished reading Zhuan Falun for the second time, I saw that every word in the book was shiny and moving. I did not know what was going on at the time. I just enjoyed reading the book and practicing the exercises. I had been unable to stand upright due to a metal support in my lower back, but as soon as I watched Teacher's lecture video, I was able to straighten my back and I could even double cross my legs. After seeing the changes in my body, my husband also believed in the power of Falun Dafa. He thought it was wonderful and he supported my practice. My health has continued to improve ever since.

When the evil Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong, TV programs were full of wicked slander about Dafa. My husband was so scared that he would not let me leave the house. Ignoring his words, I continued to practice and study. I knew there was nothing wrong with practicing Dafa, and I wanted to go out to let others know the truth. Since I did not have much education and was almost illiterate, all I could do was write "Falun Dafa is Good" on white paper with red ink and a straw "pen." I posted these papers on poles in the countryside for passersby to read. My husband was afraid that I might get caught and scolded me, but I insisted on continuing with these activities regardless. I distributed truth clarification materials and delivered materials to fellow practitioners living far away. Sometimes a few other practitioners and I walked overnight to more than twenty villages to drop off materials without feeling tired. I know our strength came from the power of Dafa.

The persecution became more severe, and there was even fake news defaming Dafa, but I did not believe it at all. I knew it must be fake because Teacher had never told practitioners to do what the news represented. Nothing could move my heart. I kept practicing and studying Dafa. I remember that I did not feel afraid at all when I was hanging banners or distributing materials. I tried to hang the banners up high on the most noticeable places, such as the electric utility pole in front of the government building. In the morning when people gathered under the banners, they asked among themselves, "How did the Falun Gong practitioners do that? They are incredible." But I did encounter some interference. Once when I was in the middle of hanging a banner, a car passed by. I thought to myself, "I am not afraid of you, and you cannot see me." I arrived home safely after I finished hanging all the banners.

Throughout these past years, I have believed in Dafa, validated Dafa, and not been afraid of anything. I really am not. I also often clarify the truth to people in person. I moved to an urban area in 2005, and I keep doing the three things that I should do. I try my best to do well in clarifying the truth, saving sentient beings, distributing materials, posting flyers, and so on, and I try to do them effectively. For example, when distributing materials, I try to place them in the rooms of government buildings or police stations, sincerely hoping that the officials will learn the truth.

During these years of cultivation, I have truly felt Teacher's merciful salvation and the wisdom and power that come from the Fa. With these, I have been able to study the Fa with a pure and peaceful heart and to clarify the truth whole-heartedly, and I have had no fear of anything. My heart has not been changed by social circumstances. I believe in Teacher and the Fa.
