(Minghui.org) My wife and I are in our eighties. Our relatives and friends all have said that we have good fortune. Both of us also feel that our lives are good. Where did the good fortune come from? There are many reasons we have good fortune, but the most important is that our daughter-in-law Jinglian is a Falun Dafa practitioner. She is very filial to both of us. It would take days to list all of her good points. We will give a few simple examples here.

Jinglian is in her fifties. Due to practicing Falun Dafa, she is very healthy and looks young. She had many illnesses in the past, however, which started within the first few years of being married to our son. She sought treatment everywhere, and she could not even take care of herself, much less take care of her in-laws. Our whole family was very worried about her.

In late 1995, Jinglian started to practice Falun Dafa. She followed the requirements of Dafa and was serious in her cultivation. She lived by the principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” which informed her behavior and how she treated all matters. Within a month of beginning her cultivation, she recovered from all of her illnesses. She became more cheerful and optimistic, and took care of both of us better than our daughter. Many of her actions moved me and rendered me speechless. Such a good daughter-in-law is difficult to find, especially in these decadent times when people have low morals.

My wife was once constipated for eight continuous days. She took medication but her condition did not improve at all. She felt very uncomfortable and was bloated. On the eighth day, Jinglian saw that my wife was tormented and said to my wife, "Since the medication was not effective, I will use my hand and help you to get relief. Once you are empty, you will no longer feel uncomfortable." My wife was at first not agreeable to this. She felt she could not let my daughter-in-law do this, as it would be such a horrible task for her.

Jinglian said, “We practitioners are considerate of others at all times. As long as I can help to relieve some of your suffering, I don’t mind doing a dirty and unpleasant job. I am happy to do it.” After being persuaded by Jinglian a few times, my wife finally agreed. Jinglian was not afraid of this unpleasant and dirty job. Within ten to twenty minutes, Jinglian managed to relieve her of her problem. This incident moved my wife so much that she cried several times. She will never forget this good deed that her daughter-in-law did for her.

I once fell sick and was hospitalized, and our children took turns caring for me. Jinglian was the most considerate. Even when we didn’t think of something, she took care of it, and her cooking was to my taste. When it was someone else’s turn to take care of me, she still came by to visit. She said encouraging words to cheer me up. Other people needed to be hospitalized for two months before recovering, but I recovered within one month.

Jinglian is a virtuous wife and a good mother. My son has a bad temper. Even when she was wronged, Jinglian did not get angry. She smiled and said that it was her fault and that she would do better next time. My son works in an important department, and many people have given him gifts to bribe him. Jinglian told him the reason why bribes should not be accepted, and that he should not be corrupt like others in this decadent society. My son understood this reasoning, and thus managed to deal with the gifts appropriately. The people at his workplace said that my son was righteous and not corrupted. They knew this is due to his having a good helper at home, who is a Falun Dafa practitioner.

There are many similar stories about Jinglian. Whenever we and our friends and relatives praised her, she said that she had not done enough and was far from meeting the requirements of Dafa. Through our daughter-in-law, we witnessed the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa. Here, I have expressed my heart-felt thoughts and my deeply-felt gratitude toward my daughter-in-law, who practices Falun Dafa! I also express my respect and gratitude towards her Master !
