(Minghui.org) My wife and I opened a small shop in a little village. Oftentimes, people left their belongings in our shop and we always tried to find a way to return their things to them.
If we couldn’t find the owners, we would leave the items in a safe place in case they came back to the store again.
Doing so was to let people see that those who practice Falun Dafa are to be trusted and that Falun Dafa is good.
One winter day in 1996, a middle-aged woman left her bag in my shop. We didn’t realize it until the next person came in.
We kept the bag and waited for the owner to show up. In the late evening, a lady came in and anxiously asked if we saw a bag. My wife asked her to describe her bag and the contents. It matched the bag we had, and then we gave it back to her.
She took the bag and kept thanking us.
I said, “Both of us are Falun Dafa practitioners. Don’t thank us—thank our Master. Our Master asks us to be good.”
She said loudly, “Thank you Master Li Hongzhi! Falun Dafa is good!”
One day in the year of 2002, two young couples rushed in and asked my wife if she had seen a platinum bracelet.
Fortunately, my wife had found the lost bracelet and held it for safe keeping until someone came back to claim it. My wife gave them the bracelet back.
The young man who’d lost the bracelet said, “It’s my luck that aunty found this; otherwise, no one else would have saved it for us.”
He went on to say, “I just bought this bracelet and paid more than 10,000 yuan for it. I have three hundred yuan in my pocket; please take it.”
My wife sternly refused. “How can I take your money?” she said. “If I wanted money, I wouldn’t have given you back the bracelet.”
One of them said, “Aunty is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Falun Dafa practitioners are good people!”
She went on to say, “It’s my Master who asked us to be this way. You should thank my Master.”
One day in January 2003, several middle-aged people came to order a birthday cake. They returned about one hour later and asked if we had seen a cell phone.
I told them that there was a cell phone in the backroom.
The man who lost his phone used his friend’s phone to call it and confirmed it was indeed his phone. I then gave the phone to him.
The man said, “I have to be very careful in the future. If I lose it, it’s equivalent to losing five thousand yuan. Thank you, uncle!”
“Don’t thank me,” I said. “If you want, thank my Master. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, so my Master taught me to be a good person.”
He put his hands together to show respect and said, “Thank you, Master Li Hongzhi! Falun Dafa is good!”
My wife and I both began practicing Falun Dafa in August 1996. It has been 21 years, and we have benefited so much from cultivation.
What’s more, these incidents I’ve described only happened because we practice Falun Dafa. It is because of it that we have good moral character.
