(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa eighteen years ago, and it changed my life. I have remained healthy without any medication and look younger than my age. The following is my story.
My health had always been poor. I suffered from many illnesses, such as heart disease, migraine headaches, severe sinusitis, stomach aches, low blood sugar, gynecological diseases, and other ailments. My illnesses became worse after severe blood loss during childbirth.
Every day I suffered from a migraine, often with stomach pain. I could hardly eat and became very thin. My temper frequently flared, and I often argued with others. At home I vented my anger on my husband and child. Neighbors often heard us argue.
I own a watch and clock repair booth. I became so weak that I often just sat there, hardly able to work. My husband helped me get there every morning and home at night.
I endured getting through each day for the sake of my child. I lived without joy or hope. I did not care about money, I just wanted good health.
I never liked taking medicine or having injections, and they were expensive. Thus, I only saw a doctor if it was absolutely necessary. I developed wrinkles on my face because of frowning from daily headaches.
I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998. A few days later, I no longer had stomach pain. Shortly after, all the other diseases were cured. I gained weight, going from 80 to 110 pounds.
I had almost forgotten what it felt to be free of illness. I was healthy and glowing. My temper improved too. I could talk and laugh, and I was happier than I thought possible.
One of my customers asked me, “What magic pill did you take? You look fabulous!”
“I practice Falun Dafa! It has improved my life,” I replied.
My family and friends all witnessed my miraculous transformation.
Teacher said:
“The human moral standard is declining tremendously, and human moral values are deteriorating daily. People only pursue self-interest and will harm others for a tiny bit of personal gain. They compete and struggle against each other by resorting to all means. Think about it, everyone: Will this be allowed to continue? When someone is doing a wrong deed, he will not believe it if you point out to him that he is doing a wrong deed. That person indeed will not believe that he is doing something wrong. Some people evaluate themselves with the declined moral standard. Because the criteria for assessment have changed, they consider themselves better than others.” (Zhuan Falun)
Now I pay special attention to my moral standard. When interacting with others, I use the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to guide my behavior. As a result, I take fame and profit lightly. I consider and care for others in society, at work, and at home. I am a new person and I feel at peace.
I set a standard for myself to ensure my customers are satisfied. I am always honest. I first check whether a watch is worth repairing, and I always charge a reasonable price for my work.
Many customers have no idea of the value of their watches; many were received as gifts. I do good work and use the best products to clean the watches. I get many new customers because of my reputation.
My life at home is now happy. I often tell my children: “Dafa gave us what we have today. Always remember that Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Do not be deceived by the lies from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
Falun Dafa practitioners have been brutally persecuted by Jiang Zemin's regime since July 1999. I was arrested and illegally detained in labor camps many times during the past seventeen years.
However, I have not been intimidated by the horrible persecution. Instead, I am more determined to practice Falun Dafa, and my family fully supports my decision.
