Dr. Yan Yuxun and His Wife from Taiwan Share How Dafa Has Changed Their Lives (Photos)
By a Taiwanese Falun Dafa practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) After chatting for nearly two hours, the wife of Dr.
Yan Yuxun mentioned the improvement of their marriage after they began
practicing Falun Gong. Quite a few times, her calm tone soared with gladness as
she spoke of the positive experiences she has had since she began practicing
Falun Gong. She said, "It was very easy to argue over a small matter
before, but after practicing Falun Gong, my husband's temper improved amazingly.
Before, we were both busy with our own jobs and raising our child. We hardly had
time to talk, but now I have more interaction with him. Just like Teacher
describes, our family has become more harmonious since practicing Falun
Gong." Dr. Yan is an obstetrician at a big hospital in southern Taiwan and Mrs. Yan
is a pediatrician. They are both kind and calm. Mrs. Yan spoke happily about the
improvement of their marriage: "After reading Zhuan Falun, I
understood that the process of life for a cultivator is the process of getting
rid of attachments, so I realized why we often quarreled in the past. It was
because my attachments were too strong." Dr. Yan recalled changes in his thinking after practicing Falun Gong: "Dafa
helped me realize the purpose of my life, and I realized that this is a great
Law that can allow humans to reach divinity. Previously, I was in a state of
anxiety every day. Only after I started the practice did I realize that nothing
is accidental, and everything is arranged." Confusion Prior to Practicing The first time Dr. Yan learned about Falun Gong was two years after the
persecution started in 1999. One day, he watched a TV interview of Falun Gong
practitioners. "I was working in a hospital in Zhanghua. After work, I
drove from Zhanghua to Taizhong to practice Taichi every day, and later helped
the teacher teach students. I heard about Falun Gong at that time, and also read
Zhuan Falun several times. When I came across the principle
that one should only practice one cultivation way, I thought I would practice
Taichi well first, and then start Falun Gong." Two years later, he was transferred to Taipei for work and many things
happened during that period of time. One of his patients had a massive
hemorrhage while under his care, and the subsequent issues dragged on for two
years. Dr. Yan sobbed: "Although the job in Taipei brought more income, I
was under a great deal of stress and had a lot of anxiety. My wife and I both
worked, and we often quarreled over small things. At that time, I easily became
tired and worn out, I could not get enough sleep, and I smoked. "When I was introduced to Falun Gong for the first time, I told my wife
that Zhuan Falun was good, but we did not read it. The predestined
relationship had not arrived yet. "However, in October 2005, after mountain climbing, my wife and I were
walking back down the mountain. At a persimmon stall on the roadside, I saw a
Falun Gong music box (practitioners use it to play exercise music) for the first
time. The vendor spoke to me about Falun Gong, and the next morning I went to
the practice site near my residence." Body Purification After one week of doing the exercises, Dr. Yan experienced some unusual
symptoms, and he realized that Teacher was helping him to purify his body. He
said, "After I finished work every day, I had a fever, and felt achy all
over my body. I had body chills, so I covered myself with a heavy blanket to
make my body sweat. My sputum and fluid from my nasal passages contained pus,
and my stool contained blood that was black or brown. However, I was fine when I
went to work. All the symptoms disappeared a week later, and I had stopped
smoking without noticing it." Mrs. Yan felt that the changes in her husband were supernormal. She said,
"I thought it was a serious flu or pneumonia. I could not believe that he
was fine after a week without taking medicine. His skin also looked better, with
more color. I felt it was so amazing. He changed so much in just a week. He was
like a completely different person. Even his personality changed." After witnessing the wonderful changes Dr. Yan had experienced, Mrs. Yan was
inspired to read Zhuan Falun. She said, "I could not
understand it two years ago. It seemed to be a book that merely teaches people
to be good or a regular religious book. When I read it again, I was greatly
touched. When I read, I became dizzy and I had a headache, so I knew Teacher was
purifying me." Hints from Teacher Dr. Yan pointed at his stomach with a smile and said, "Teacher used it
to give me a hint. I had a chronic recurring stomachache. It was so painful that
all I could do was hold my stomach, lie on a sofa and recite Lunyu.
This lasted for a year. I realized Teacher wanted me to get rid of my attachment
to eating raw fish, and then, once I eliminated the attachment, I was
fine." � Mrs. Yan recalled that in the first year of her practice, Teacher often gave
her hints through her child. Once, her child had symptoms of a cold and
infection. She regarded it as sickness, and gave her child many pills and a very
strong antibiotic, but it only grew worse. Then she shared with a fellow
practitioner, "After putting down that attachment, my child's nose stopped
running that same day. It was so mysterious. I enlightened to the fact that
Teacher wanted me to abandon my attachment to treating illnesses." Dr. Yan took fame and interests lightly after he became a Falun Dafa
practitioner, and was able to deal with conflicts among colleagues with
compassion. He said, "I was busy making money before I practiced Falun
Gong. In order to increase my outstanding achievements, I chased after
opportunities at work, but now I only think of doing my job well. Mrs. Yan said,
"Before I practiced Falun Gong, almost all my focus was on my child. I
tightly held on to the importance of contemporary education, thinking he had to
be stimulated from childhood, so he will be able to compete well later in life.
I do not think this way now, because Teacher tells us that everyone's path has
been arranged. I also realized that my child's moral character is of primary
importance, so I began taking him to the Minghui School." Clarifying the Truth Many Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioners were invited to the parade in support
of the 20 million people who had quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Hong
Kong on April 21, 2007. Mrs. Yan also attended. Mrs. Yan is seven months pregnant. When asked whether she can still practice
the exercises, she said she still does them as usual. Moreover, she went to Hong
Kong to support the "Quit the CCP" parade when she was four months
pregnant. She excitedly said, "I was able to walk the entire route." When the grand parade arrived on the busiest street of Hong Kong, it
attracted the attention of crowds of people. Many of these onlookers were
tourists from mainland China. Shortly after the parade started, a middle-aged
man from China, who witnessed Chinese people exposing the CCP's evilness in
public for the first time in his life, was so excited and moved, that he burst
into tears. He knelt on the ground, thanking people in the parade for bringing
hope to Chinese people, and he announced his withdrawal from the CCP on the
spot. The Divine Land Marching Band, formed by nearly 200 Taiwanese Falun Gong
practitioners, was invited to attend the parade in Hong Kong in support of the
20 million people who quit the CCP. Mrs. Yan went with Dr. Yan, who plays trumpet in the Divine Land Marching
Band, to Hong Kong for the parade. Dr. Yan stated that the marching band would
continuously perform overseas to validate Dafa: "On May 13, World Falun
Dafa Day, on the 15th anniversary of Dafa's introduction to the
public, we not only recall with deep gratitude the merciful salvation of our
great Teacher, but we will go all over the world, along with the Divine Land
Marching Band, and step-by-step spread Dafa's beauty with music, and expose the
evilness of the CCP in persecuting Falun Gong."
