(Minghui.org) One of my daughter-in-law's colleagues said to her one day, “Ms. Liu, I want to trade my mother-in-law with yours. I cannot stand it any more. My mother-in-law always finds fault with me.” In many families in China, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is tense and full of conflict.

However, the changes I went through since learning Falun Gong in 1998 has had a very positive impact on my family members, including my daughter-in-law.

My Daughter-in-Law and I

My daughter-in-law is a teacher and I was a principal of a school before I retired. Teachers often talk about their families during breaks. My daughter-in-law speaks highly about me. According to her, I am kind and have a good understanding of other people's needs. She can share with me in terms of teaching, instructing and mentoring students. We can discuss how to teach students to become better by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

My daughter-in-law has been very satisfied with me as I always follow the teachings of Falun Gong. Thanks to my help, she doesn't need to worry about anything at home, which allows her to focus on her work.

All her colleagues envy her for having a happy family, especially for having a good relationship with her mother-in-law.

My Health

I was weak when I was born due to malnutrition. I suffered from pneumonia and was in a critical condition. Although I got over the pneumonia, I continually suffered from bronchitis as a result of the illness. I had to rely on medications, injections and sometimes even I.V.'s as I grew up and got a job.

The situation didn't improve until April 1998 when I began to practice the Falun Gong exercises. I didn't understand anything about cultivation at that time. I heard from others that Falun Gong exercises could heal illnesses, so I started to learn them.

On the fourth day, I felt something was rotating in my abdomen. Out of curiosity, I asked some practitioners what was going on. I was pleased when they said to me, “Master has installed a Falun for you.” One of the practitioners gave me the book, Zhuan Falun. Since then reading the book has become part of my life.

Soon after I began practicing Falun Gong, I gradually became healthy. My bronchitis, frozen shoulder, cold feet, other diseases vanished and I no longer took medication.

Caring Less about Personal Gain

As a principal of a school before I retired, and I was in charge of the budget and expenditure of the school. I didn't care about any material gain, but it was impossible to decline all the gifts from the parents or staff. After I became a Falun Gong practitioner, I refused to take advantage of others and I no longer accepted gifts.

One merchant came to my school to sell goods. He put over one thousand yuan under my book. I returned the money to him right away and said sincerely, “Because I am a Falun Gong practitioner, I don't take any bribes and we should do things in a fair way.” He was very impressed and admired Falun Gong for its teachings.

Younger and Stronger

I have benefited greatly from practicing Falun Gong over the years. I feel that I have become younger and younger. Although I am 63 years old, I am still able to do everything myself. I learned how to ride a motorcycle after I retired. I now have the stamina to fill four large thermos containers in the school's boiler room and take them home to the third floor with a distance of over 300 meters from the boiler room including three sets of stairs. Others were all amazed at my physical health.

In addition, I haven't had any free annual check-up for eight years since I retired. Some people asked me, “It's free. Why didn't you go?” I replied to them, “I am healthy. Why bother?”

I had a chat with the current principal of the school. He told me, “We all envy you. We are impressed by your health, your happy family, your kindness and your youth.” I said to him, “I am very grateful to Falun Gong.” He said, “Sooner or later, Falun Gong will be redressed.”

Final Remarks

Thanks to Falun Gong, I am able to overcome life's challenges. I really appreciate the opportunity to practice Falun Gong. If people ask me who is the happiest person in the world, my response will be that I am the happiest. I have a great Master who has taught me how to become better and better by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Thank you, Master, for this opportunity. I am so happy to be a practitioner.
