Miracles in the Snow Disaster in China
By a Falun Gong practitioner in Mainland China
(Clearwisdom.net) My brother has worked in long-distance transport for
more than a decade and makes regular rounds between Tianjin and Guangzhou
several times a month. He began worrying about my safety and that of other Falun
Gong practitioners in the family after the Communist Party launched the
persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, but he never said anything bad about
Falun Gong. When he learned the facts about Falun Gong, he followed our advice
and often recited, "Falun Dafa is good, Truth-Compassion-Tolerance is good,
Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa." Once, he was afraid he had
said it wrong, so he called me to make sure that he was saying it correctly. One time he fell asleep behind the wheel while driving at night. After a
while he was startled awake and suddenly realized the danger he was possibly
facing and broke out in a cold sweat. When he looked up, however, his jaw
dropped, because in front of the truck was a celestial being in a white gown who
was leading the way for him. He was speechless. The celestial being disappeared
after about one minute. He phoned his wife immediately after daybreak saying,
"You must burn some incense for Master Li Hongzhi and thank Master for
protecting me! Thank him for protecting our entire family!" He and his family published their withdrawal from the Communist Party in
early 2005. In the past few years, his family has lived a peaceful and happy
life. His son was accepted to a top-notch university, and they bought a
two-bedroom house. My brother was caught in a snowstorm in January 2008 when transporting
merchandise. He often recited, "Falun Dafa is good" during the trip
and said in his heart, "Master Li, I don't have time to practice
cultivation right now, but when I'm off-duty, I'll practice Falun Dafa,
too!" Between the blinding snow and the slippery road he could not continue
on because the tires didn't have deep treads and he and his co-driver didn't see
any place to buy snow chains. My brother asked his co-driver to wait in the
truck while he set out in search of help. Arriving at a store he asked the owner
whether he sold snow chains, but the owner couldn't understand him and pointed
at a motel down the road. My brother didn't understand what the owner meant, but
he went there anyway to try his luck. When the motel owner heard his story he
asked, "What type of truck do you have?" He told him, and the owner
said, "Gee, what are the chances [of this happening]! My son drove up north
and left behind his snow chains only a few days ago, so he bought another set in
the destination city. Ok, I'll sell you the old ones!" After my brother
installed the snow chains, the truck instantly began to move. He and the
co-driver were ecstatic! When they were several hundred kilometers from Guangzhou, part of their
transmission unexpectedly broke, so they were forced to drive in second gear.
When they finally got to a repair shop, the mechanic told them, "Your truck
is outdated. Besides, we don't have this kind of part in the south." My
brother's heart sank. The mechanic good-naturedly advised him to ask at other
shops. He made a few phone calls, and to his surprise one person said, "We
bought this part ten years ago but we never got a chance to sell it. But today
we're finally getting it out." Forty minutes later the mechanic delivered
the part to my brother. It was successfully installed and they continued on
their trip toward Guangzhou. The co-driver was so overwhelmed by this string of
seemingly impossible events that he was on the verge of tears and uttered,
"We must have done something right in our previous life!" They encountered other difficulties along the way, but all of them were
resolved without incident. They arrived home safely on January 29, 2008 [lunar
calendar]. Most truck drivers lost money due to the snowstorm and some were in
serious accidents, while my brother made 2,000 yuan. He called it
"an absolutely unforgettable experience!" My brother continued to say, "Falun Dafa is good" over and over in
the days that followed. In the past several years he has maintained a clean
driving record and his family life has never been better. His wife now says,
"Falun Dafa is good" on a daily basis and she also "clarifies the
truth" about Dafa to others. Our relatives and friends have all witnessed
the miraculous power of Falun Dafa.
