(Clearwisdom.net) In October, I traveled to Guangxi province. Those in our tour were mostly from other provinces. On the first day, we arrived at a mountain. It was breezy, and one of the tourists felt so cold that she shivered. I immediately took off my jacket and put it on her. I only had on a thin layer underneath. She was surprised, "You are a senior citizen. How can you give me your jacket?" I was the oldest among all the tourists. I said proudly, "I practice Falun Gong. Our Teacher asks us to be kind and follow the principles of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance." When they heard that I practice Falun Gong, they were shocked and did not know what to say. I smiled and did not say much. I knew that Teacher was with me and he would like me to save people in this way.
The next day, we climbed a mountain. One of the tourists had problem with her feet. I offered my help and supported her. She told me that she weighed 165 lb. We hiked for several hours straight. I usually was afraid of hiking. This time I climbed up and down while helping another person who weighed 165 lb. When I was completely thinking for others, a miracle happened. I was not tired at all and helped without effort. People started praising me and said that I was very kind to others. I smiled and said, "It is because I practice Falun Gong. Our Teacher asks me to put others before myself." This time they were not surprised. I knew that Teacher was with me. He was giving me the courage and power to manifest the magnificence of Dafa.
During the following several days, I gradually came to know why they were so afraid of the issue of Falun Gong. One high-ranking official told me a story of one of his classmates - she had two family members who practiced Falun Gong. Her two daughters were expelled from their work units because they went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They later got divorced. One of them was tortured to death. Their mother, this person's classmate, cried every day and was truly miserable. People all fear the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) because it is brutal.
At that time, I felt that I should share with them the magnificence of Dafa. I helped others all the time, taking care of them like they were my own family. They asked me how come I was so nice. I then told them that I practiced Falun Gong. I told them my experiences - I used to be have very poor health, and suffered cirrhosis of the liver, kidney infections, and bladder inflammation. I weighted less than eighty Jin. I was selfish, short-tempered, and always fought for my own interests. It was Dafa that saved me. I became healthy. Dafa taught me not to fight for self interest and always think for others. In living this way, I became a happy person.
On the last day, one tourist who was an official in the Education Department became sick. She could not walk. I asked her to recite, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good". She believed me. After reciting for five minutes, she became energetic. She told me that she wanted to practice Falun Gong and become healthy and happy like me. She said that she saw the magnificence of Dafa through this tour and wanted to learn Falun Gong.
When our tour was complete, everyone came to say good-bye to me. The young tour guide said, "You are so kind. I will remember you forever." I said, "I am kind because our Teacher asked me to do so. You need to remember that Falun Dafa is good."
