(Clearwisdom.net) Before July 20, 1999 when the widespread persecution began, my father had heard of the miraculous effects of Falun Dafa and tried the practice for a few days for health reasons. Yet, at that time he was not quite convinced. After the persecution started however, he was deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) slanderous campaign and stopped practicing Falun Gong.

My father used to suffer from the effects of a cerebral hemorrhage, and he had to take a lot of Chinese and Western medicine. I advised him to recite "Falun Dafa is good" every day and his health would become better and better. He agreed, and recited it every day. In the woods where nobody was around, he shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" A year later when I visited him, I found that he was much healthier and much more energetic. My sister told me that father's heart problems were gone. I explained to them that it was because of his saying, "Falun Dafa is good" and the miraculous effect of Dafa that helped him to recover. Later, my father also asked my two aunts to recite "Falun Dafa is good," which they did wholeheartedly - every day.

My father had not visited us for six years or so because of his poor health, but this time he took the bus and made the 200-mile trip to visit us all on his own. I showed him truth-clarification materials, the "Minghui Weekly", and the book, "The Real Story of Jiang Zemin." He was suspicious when he first read about how the CCP harvested the organs of Falun Gong practitioners while they were still alive, but after watching the VCD, he believed it, and said very angrily, "The CCP is really terrible. The CCP is doomed!"

While watching how Jiang Zemin sold China's land and managed the army with corruption, he was astonished, "My goodness! He even sold out the land of our motherland. I mistakenly thought China was in peace and prosperity. It turns out this guy is so bad, and our people are blinded!"

Two days before my father was ready to go back home, I was reading the first couple of pages of Teacher's article, "Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles." Since Father had been reading and watching so many truth-clarification materials and he understood practitioners' truth-clarification and Fa-validation actions, I thought it might be a good idea for him to read Teacher's recent lectures. After he finished reading the last two pages of the lecture, he said, "This is a great Law and the Law of cosmos that has never been expounded before. If Teacher did not rectify the Fa, wouldn't the cosmos be dissolved?"

Delighted at his new understanding, I asked him to read this whole lecture and the other lecture, "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005." "Do you understand it?" I asked. "Sure. I understand. This is the genuine scripture! I'll take it home to let your uncle read it, too," he said.

"The Chinese people are all precious as they came for the Fa. However, they are lost in the maze of this dimension. Therefore, they need our truth-clarification in order to awaken and to be saved," I continued.

My father nodded and said, "Our villagers only believe in what they see on TV and they are deceived by the CCP's propaganda." He promised to persuade our relatives to quit the CCP.

Since my father loves to read about history, I read him the paragraph in "Touring North America to Teach the Fa" about how people reincarnated in the various dynasties of Chinese history. "Teacher disclosed the secret of the history of mankind. The history of mankind is a large stage arranged for the Fa-rectification," I continued. Surprised and fascinated, Father asked for more Dafa materials to read. My father began to practice again.

Right before he left, my father kowtowed to Teacher and burned joss sticks in front of Teacher's portrait. He said to Teacher, "I am leaving here with these treasures of yours. From now on, I will practice Dafa." Watching Father's awakening and his return to Dafa, I was deeply thankful to Teacher, with my eyes full of tears. Compassionate Teacher never leaves behind even one disciple!
