(Clearwisdom.net) Regards to great and compassionate Master, regards to fellow practitioners all over the world.

I began practicing Falun Dafa in March 1993, when I was 59 years old. I have never had any schooling, but with Master's compassion and great power, I could understand all His books and scriptures. Many supernatural things that Master mentioned came true for me. For example, a renewed menstrual period for me, an older woman, surviving being knocked down by a car while walking, and other things. I have so far followed Master step by step. With my life based on the Fa, I didn't stumble on my cultivation path. I have read Zhuan Falun one thousand four hundred times, hand-copied Zhuan Falun ten times, recited Zhuan Falun eight times, and I send righteous thoughts frequently at the global time.

1. Happy Memories

In March 1993, my husband and I sat on a lanai, sunning ourselves. We turned on the radio and listened to the Wuhan Economic Broadcast. The announcer said that Master Li Hongzhi from Changchun had been invited to come to Wuhan to impart Gong and Fa. Master also spoke briefly on the broadcast. The only sentence I remember was Master telling the listeners, "Today I came to Wuhan to impart Gong." Then the interviewer asked where else Master had been to teach Gong. Master kindly listed the places. A woman called in and asked to speak with Master. She said that she had quite a few illnesses and was in much pain. I remembered that Master said, "OK, relax, I will treat you!" The woman asked how He could treat her from a distance. Master reassured her that He could. "I could treat you no matter how far away you are." The woman, moved to tears, knelt and cried, uttering, "I am cured, I am really OK with no pain at all. Master, thank you, thank you!" Master said, "Stand up, stand up. Don't do this." The woman immediately asked the announcer where Master would make a speech and was told that it would be tomorrow, at the Hankou Municipal Committee Hall on Yiyuan Road.

My husband and I went there that day to listen to Master's speech. I saw Master, tall and very compassionate. I felt such unspeakable delight and happiness. Upon leaving the hall and on the way back home, I felt that I was flying, which had never happened before in my life. Thankfully Master adjusted my body to feel normal, on that very day.

On the last day of Master's lessons, Master asked us whether we had found an exercise site. We replied, saying it would be at a certain park. Master said that this was nice and assured us that He would cleanse the site for us by 4:00 a.m. the next morning. I had assumed Master would go there in person, but didn't find Master there then. I didn't understand then that it was Master's Law Body doing that, and I couldn't see the Law Body.

From then on, my husband and I went to that site for the Falun Gong exercises at 4:00 a.m. every morning, bringing a small tape player to play the exercise music. The first day only four people participated, but the group gradually became larger, eventually increasing to dozens, and then to several hundred. By then the place was too small, and we set up new site. Students who had attended Master's class were busy every day teaching newcomers, because many people came to learn the exercises. We hung up a banner with a brief introduction to Dafa at the exercise site and everyone was happy to do what they could to help out.

I am one of the fortunate ones who had attended Master's seminar twice. I will not describe this wonderful and fortunate opportunity in detail, as fellow practitioners have talked about it before. I attended Master's classes in Zhengzhou in 1994 and saw that demons arrived to interrupt the class, but Master cleared them out. I will also not talk about that too much, as fellow practitioners have mentioned it in previous articles.

On June 18, 1994, the last day of Master's speech at Zhengzhou, we posed for photos with Master. Master would from there go to Jinan and Dalian to hold classes. We were unwilling to part and followed Master, slowly walking outside. Master told us we were like seeds. Once we return [to our homes] we need to study the Fa, do the exercises diligently, and "scatter seeds around."

While we walked with Master, a woman in her thirties accompanied by a two-year-old girl arrived. The child was crying and sniffling, with mucus on her face. The mother and daughter were plainly dressed and looked like country people. Master turned around and asked why the child was crying. The mother replied that the child wanted to have her picture taken with Master. Master replied that that was nice, and they were photographed together. The child then immediately smiled. I didn't understand the Fa deeply at that point and simply felt that Master was being so kind and treating everyone well. I was deeply touched and thought how fortunate I was to have found such a good Master. I thought that I should listen to Master forever and cultivate myself diligently.

In December 1994, Master held the last of His classes to impart the Fa in Guangzhou. Afterward, practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises at practice sites in the morning and evening. We later changed our routine to doing the exercises in the morning, studying the Fa in the evening, and sharing with each other. I had never been to school before and recognized few of the written characters, but with Master's ingenious arrangement I was gradually able to read and was then able to truly study the Fa.

In winter, it is very cold, and I asked fellow practitioners to come to my home for Fa study. At first we studied the Fa together every evening, and since winter of 1995, we have studied the Fa once a week without missing a week.

2. Clarifying the Truth and Disregarding the Persecution

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. It seemed to be the end of world, with persecutors running rampant at that time. We were forbidden to do the Falun Gong exercises at our usual site. The persecutors arrested Falun Gong practitioners everywhere, with police vehicles' sirens wailing madly, and police officers often coming to practitioners' homes. Even at night they would call on practitioners several times, as they were afraid they would go to Beijing to appeal for justice.

For a while, the authorities sent someone to practitioners' homes every day, ordering us to hand in our Dafa books, exercise outfits, banners, and all things relating to Falun Dafa. But the persecutors did so in vain. They did not succeed.

The CCP tried to deceive us, by saying our "boss" lived in America with lots of money but we were here living in pain, to protect him. I responded that He was our Master, not our boss, that Master taught us how to do the Falun Gong exercises, and how to become good people. I told them that Master had improved my life tremendously and never asked me to pay a single penny. They said again how our Master had much money in America, a huge big house and lived a good life. I retorted, "If what you said is true I really appreciate it, because I was worried whether or not our Master had a good life abroad. Master is like my father, and that it would please me immensely - to know that my father lived very well abroad." The CCP people have never said such words since.

My husband and I went to Beijing three times to appeal for Falun Gong, in 1999 and 2000. We were illegally arrested on our second trip there but set free several hours later with Master's protection. In November 2000 we went to Beijing's Tiananmen Square to validate the Fa a third time. We shouted, "Falun Dafa is Good!" "Restore Master's and Dafa's Reputation" at the Golden Water Bridge. There were so many lookout posts on the way to Tiananmen Square. Two people monitoring the crowd from above shouted, "Those two people are Falun Gong members." The police asked, "Where?" The police were unable to see us. We shouted our message, from Golden Water Bridge to the bus station, and clarified the truth about Dafa to passengers on the bus. The bus passengers listened silently to us with their heads bowed. The we got off the bus, bought train tickets, and returned safely home. What I remembered most was the many people listening to our shouts, "Falun Dafa is Good," but they simply walked by with their heads bowed and did not dare to look at us. Only a man in his fifties turned around, smiled at me and said, "Falun Dafa is good, Falun Dafa is good." This touched me.

On December 26, 2000, I went to a practitioner's home in our city. The police did a home search, arrested the practitioner and me too, and took me to the police station. Several hours later they ordered my children to pay the captors five thousand yuan to release me. Eventually I paid 50 yuan and returned home. I knew what the CCP would do when July 20 arrived. The name is Communist Party, and its representatives would confiscate all others' belongings. I instructed my children not to pay the CCP any money without my permission, even when they might do something bad to their father and me. We should never play into their hands and support them.

In November 2004, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published. I read it and felt how well written and accurate it was. But I knew in actuality that the CCP was even worse. I was born in the countryside and witnessed many things firsthand. My family members were then landlords but did not actually own property. They were landlords only because my father had been a small official in the Guomingdang (KMT). My grandfather was tortured to death because he believed in Buddha.

I got my immediate family involved in the efforts to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, as well as in Dafa truth-clarification, in March 2005. I persuaded my relatives, my friends and my colleagues. Most of them did the "three withdrawals" [withdrawing membership in the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers] but a few didn't.

I gave another practitioner from my hometown the book Zhuan Falun, though he did not live in the same area I did at the time. He disseminated Dafa information for nine years. Because of him, tens of thousands of people from some big cities in over a dozen provinces started studying the Fa and cultivating themselves. The practitioner had copies of the Nine Commentaries and handed the booklet to all those people. People also printed the Nine Commentaries with their own money and gave them to others. This spread the information quickly and everywhere, even to many CCP officials, and many withdrew from the Party and its affiliates. By March 2, 2008 I had received a list of 30,886 people who wanted to do the "three withdrawals."

However, I neglected watching my xinxing and became overjoyed. From 2007 to the present, when with our efforts I saw so many people become interested in the Fa and so many people quitting the CCP, I couldn't help tell other practitioners about it. Though I only talked about it a little, the evil took advantage of me. I became immediately aware that I must not give in to a overjoyous mindset and should keep things to myself. I understood clearly that Master had pushed things forward and made those predestined people become acquainted with the Fa and do the "three withdrawals." We couldn't have done these things successfully without Master's compassion.

I must listen to Master and study the Fa well. I must keep a clear mind and do the three things with wisdom, righteous thoughts, and righteous action.

Please, compassionately correct me if anything I have said is not in line with the Fa. Thank you!
