(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Liu is the husband of an elderly Falun Dafa practitioner, and they live in Zhaoyuan County, Yantai City. People often refer to him as "Elderly Liu." The following account details how Elderly Liu was rewarded for fully supporting his wife's efforts to clarify the truth.
Before July 1999 when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Gong, his house was a Fa-study site. After the persecution started, practitioners formed a Fa-study group in his house. He always was very supportive of their activities. His wife went to Beijing to tell the people, "Falun Dafa is good." He agreed with his wife's decision, and each time she went to Beijing, he would prepare enough money for his wife's trip and tell her to be careful a thousand times. Although his wife was detained and jailed multiple times, he never insulted Dafa. When his wife went to Beijing for the first time with a banner that read "Falun Dafa," he saw the banner and suggested that adding a word "good" at the end of the banner would make it perfect. His wife and fellow practitioners happily took his advice. Later his wife displayed the "Falun Dafa Is Good" banner at Tiananmen Square.
In the spring of 2000, the local police station and detention center illegally detained Dafa disciples for 70-80 days and only offered one meal a day, no breakfast or supper. Practitioners' family members had to send in meals to them. Some jailed practitioners were couples, and some family members opposed their spouse's cultivation and would not send them any meals. Elderly Liu heard his wife mention their situation, so he and the other practitioners' family members delivered meals for 70-80 days. The following event was hard to forget. Once, a policeman saw Elderly Liu delivering meals and he asked him whether Falun Gong was good or not. Elderly Liu was afraid of everything since childhood, so you can imagine how hard it was for him to answer this question. Elderly Liu answered wisely, "You say Falun Gong is not good. If my wife did not practice Falun Gong, however, she might have died a long time ago and the grass on her tomb would be very tall."
Once his wife went to Beijing to clarify the truth and later lost contact with him for about 45 days. Elderly Liu worried so much that he could hardly eat or sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his wife's image would come to mind. His wife had been handing out truth-clarifying materials and was caught by Beijing social workers. Later she was sent to the Xuanwu Police Station. She did not tell the police where her truth-clarifying materials came from. The police tortured her almost to death. Elderly Liu dreamed about his wife's appearance, so he immediately rushed to Beijing to find her. He found a friend in Beijing and asked him to help check all the detention centers and jails, but to no avail. He sadly returned home and waited there for his wife, very depressed. He waited and waited, until she finally came home. He did not blame her with even a single word. The next time his wife went to Beijing, he still supported her as before.
In 2005, his wife was sentenced to prison for four years by the wicked CCP. That was too much for Elderly Liu to bear. His anger caused him to have a stroke, high blood pressure, and uremia caused by the heart disease. Finally he had to rely on hemodialysis and help from others in order to live.
In 2009, his wife came back from the four-year prison term. Elderly Liu gradually recovered his health through learning the Fa and practicing the exercises. In 2010, when his wife went out to clarify the truth to save sentient beings, she was reported to the authorities by someone who did not know the truth of Dafa. After being persecuted in a brainwashing center for three months, she was illegally sentenced to prison for two more years. That was another big blow to Elderly Liu, and it was as if the heavens had come crashing down on him. He could not take it, thinking, “I may not see my wife again in my lifetime.” However, with Master's merciful protection, his wife was in the labor camp for only several days before being sent home. Once she was back home, however, the police kept bothering them. Elderly Liu worried and was frightened every day, thus his illnesses returned and became even worse. This time the medicines and hemodialysis did not work anymore. He retained more water in his abdomen day by day. His children took him to the hospital, but the doctor could not find the right cure for him and several times he told Mr. Liu and his family that he had only several months to live.
One day Elderly Liu spit out some yellowish matter while he was in the hospital. Taking oral medications and on IV injections, his abdomen grew even larger. The doctors couldn't think of any way to deal with it, so his family members took Elderly Liu to a bigger hospital. But that hospital could not diagnose the real reason for his illness. At last, he simply had to go home and wait to die. At this critical time, merciful Master adjusted Mr. Liu's body. Elderly Liu vomited black water four times in the afternoon and the black stuff weighed approximately 1-2 jin (1 jin = 0.5 kg). The next afternoon, he again vomited, this time about 1-jin worth of red water. After that he began to have severe diarrhea. He kept on going to the toilet and kept throwing up whatever he ate. Thus he was purified for ten days, and then he vomited green water for the next two days. His bowel movements were only fluids. His forehead wrinkles disappeared, his nose turned sideways, and he could not feel anything while defecating. When asked to eat something, he just shook his head and could not say a word. To any non-practitioner, it would appear that he was dying. However, he did not die and instead, he recovered fully.
When Elderly Liu's father was alive, he could tell people's future. He predicted the fate of each of his three children. The fate of his other two children was as he had predicted. For Elderly Liu, his father said that he would only live to be 55. However, when Elderly Liu reached 55 years old, he did have a stroke that year, but due to his strong belief in Dafa, he recovered his health. It was merciful Master who had saved Elderly Liu.
Recently, Elderly Liu had an even closer brush with death. While he was using oxygen to assist him with breathing, he passed out twice. Yet no matter how bad he felt, he recited in his mind "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" With his strong belief in Master and Dafa, Elderly Liu has recovered and his good health has once again returned. It was Master who saved Elderly Liu again from death. Elderly Liu, now healthy, tells his relatives and friends that it was Dafa and Master that saved his life.
