(Minghui.org) I have no idea how many miles I've walked, how many materials I've given out, or how many people I've talked to. I just know that I'm happiest whenever I go out to talk to people about the persecution.
I was a farmer, old and illiterate. I grew up in the poorest region of China, and never had the chance to go to school. Because my father died when I was 12, I had to work hard to support my family, by growing crops, plowing the fields, and weaving. I can now read Dafa books and do the three things steadfastly with Master's protection.
A practitioner from the north came and taught us Falun Gong in 1997. When I opened up the book for the first time, I cried sadly because I was illiterate and could not read it like everyone else could. I knelt down and said, “Master! I can't read the book! Please help me!”
Practitioner A came over and said, “You can come by my home from now on, and we can study the Fa together! You can follow me while I read.” We studied the Fa together this way for over a year. Back then, I was 61 years old.
By 1999, I was able to read Zhuan Falun by myself. When I read 12 pages on my own for the first time, I was so excited that I cried. I said in my heart, “Master! It is not enough! Others can read the whole book while I only can read 12 pages. Please help me!” The next day, I was able to read more than 20 pages, and it gradually increased to 30 pages. Six months later I could read one lecture, and then five lectures, etc.
Master’s great benevolence helped me, an illiterate old village woman, to read all the Fa books with ease and grace. I did not want to waste my time, and seized every chance to read the Fa. I feel that I am the happiest woman in the world.
When I was copying truth clarifying materials in a shop on April 12 with another practitioner, the shop owner reported us to the police. An officer came to my home and said, “I know everything you did in the shop.” I said, “Knowing the truth will benefit mankind. But the CCP is persecuting Dafa! We have to clarify the truth and let everyone know that Falun Dafa is good.”
When the police were searching my house, I sent forth a thought, "Do not let these evil people find a single piece of paper with the facts about Falun Gong on it." They took only my daughter-in-law's phone book. They did not find anything else, since I had given out all the materials already. Nonetheless, I was taken to the police station anyway.
The police chief did not give up and asked me, “Who gave you the original materials?” I answered, “If I said you gave them to me, would you admit it?” I thought to myself, "I will never bring shame to the Fa and Master. Nor will I betray a fellow practitioner." The chief tried to convince me that I would be released soon if I betrayed other practitioners. I then sent forth another thought, "Make these police officers still." The four or five officers then started to sleep so deeply that saliva drooled from their mouths. At around 3:00 p.m., I went home with my son.
I was hit by a motorcycle in 2006, when I was clarifying the truth in Kunming. I heard a sound like a knife slicing a turnip. When I opened my eyes, I was surprised that I was still alive and felt no pain. I knew that Master endured all the hardships for me and a debt I owed was repaid.
The young driver was so upset that I had to comfort him, “Young man, calm down! Because I practice Falun Dafa, I won't demand any money from you. My Master teaches me to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Don't worry about it! Falun Dafa is really extraordinary. If you had hit anyone else today, things would be totally different. My Master saved me! If you believe in Falun Dafa, you will be blessed. Young man, please believe Falun Dafa is good.”
I then gave him a Falun Dafa amulet and encouraged him to recite “Falun Dafa is good!” He said, “Good! Good! I believe in Falun Dafa.”
When I was clarifying the truth in 2003, my granddaughter was hit by a car, but she was not injured. I knew that it was because Master had protected her.
I have clarified the truth since 2000, day in and day out, regardless of the weather. I have no idea how many brochures and flyers I've given out, how many people I've saved, or how many miles I've walked. But I know that I am happy whenever I go out to clarify the truth. In the future, I will cultivate more diligently and not let Master down.
