(Minghui.org) I am 52 years old. In 2011, compassionate Master woke me up, and I resumed my Falun Dafa cultivation. My husband is a deputy secretary in our local town government and secretary of the local Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He is responsible for “maintaining stability.”
My husband was strongly against my practicing Falun Dafa again. He thought it would affected his job, since he was responsible for controlling Dafa practitioners. When he saw I was determined, he tried every way he could think of to prevent me from practicing. He threatened me, saying I was damaging his career and our son's future.
When he saw that did not affect me, he said, "We may have to divorce." My heart did not move. Through Fa study I realized that all of this was not accidental. I believed this was a test for me to see whether I truly believed in Master and the Fa. This tribulation was also an opportunity for me to improve my xinxing and level.
One day I went out with Practitioner A to put up posters about Falun Dafa. A policeman saw us and arrested us. We were taken to the local police station. We were not afraid and clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to the police. We sang the song written by a Dafa practitioner "Be Saved” and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil behind the police. Three hours later we were released.
My husband learned that we had been arrested and said, "You did not listen to me, you treat everything like a game." Practitioner A was arrested again and held in a detention center for explaining the facts to someone. Because she is a resident in the area under the jurisdiction of my husband's committee, her case was reported to him. He was furious and warned me, "She is not allowed to come to our home--I do not welcome her." My heart was not moved. After A was released, she continued to work with me to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa, and we distributed truth-clarification materials to save sentient beings without any fear.
One day my husband saw I was going out with A to clarify the truth. He tore up all my Dafa books in front of me and said, "I'm here to 'maintain stability.' Every day I talk to others about controlling Falun Gong practitioners, but my wife practices Falun Gong. How ironic! I forbid you to practice!" Facing his fury, I thought of Master's words:
"When bad people in this world appear to be evil, and might act so ferocious, that’s because there are evil entities behind them propping them up. Eliminate those evil entities and that person wouldn’t be able to muster that ferocity anymore." ("20th Anniversary Fa Teaching")
Although this happened suddenly, I was not disturbed. I sent forth righteous thoughts towards him. At the same time I looked inwards. What he did must be related to my xinxing. Because he was against me practicing, I usually did not dare to clarify the truth to him. I did not treat him as a sentient being to save. In fact, my attachment of sentimentality had kept me from trying to save him. After I found the root cause, I felt guilty. Because I did not cultivate well, I was not able to protect my Dafa books and he ended up doing such a terrible thing.
After that, I started to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to him openly. I told him that heaven will eliminate the CCP. I pointed out my mental and physical improvements after practicing Falun Dafa. After the fall of top communist officials Wang and Bo, I seized the opportunity to explain to him the principle that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. Gradually he understood a lot, and his attitude and behavior changed. He did not lose his temper often. But he still did not quit the CCP.
He kept two porcelain figures of Mao that were worth several thousand yuan. A fellow practitioner said, "You can sell them." I thought that they would harm the person who bought them, so I decided to smash them and discard the pieces.
For several days afterward my husband searched for the Mao figures in his dreams. In the dream, someone from Beijing tried to threaten him with my life and our son's life. He felt really awful after several days of bad dreams.
Finally he asked me in the middle of the night where the porcelain figures of Mao went. I told him that I had thrown them away. He cursed me and said I had thrown money away. My heart was not moved, and I sent forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate all the evil factors behind him. It was midnight, and I wanted him to sleep. Within ten minutes he felt asleep. He has never mentioned the figures again.
I told him more about Falun Dafa and explained why quitting the CCP can save people's lives. He finally understood and quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. That night I saw a wolf escape from his quilt. Compassionate Master let me see it. I told my husband and others that the mark of the beast of the communist evil spirit is real.
For a period of time, the CCP tried to further deceive the people and implemented a "mass education" campaign. It required leaders to give lectures supporting the CCP to their subordinates. My husband downloaded a speech from the Internet.
At 2:00 a.m. that night he woke up. He nudged me and said, "I dreamed that half of my body was controlled by something, and I could not move. Then a round thing rotated in my heels. Right away I felt okay. What was it?"
I understood and told him, "It must be caused by the speech. The evil spirit behind the speech tried to harm you. Marx said in The Communist Manifesto, 'A specter is haunting Europe — the specter of Communism.' A specter is a ghost. What good can a ghost do? The round thing is a Falun. Master cleansed your body with compassion. Because you know the truth of Falun Dafa and quit the CCP, Master is protecting you." I could tell he believed what I said.
Since then he is not only not against my practice, but also takes the initiative to do some housework, so I can have more time to do the three things. To help me to get online to clarify the truth, my husband also bought me a wireless network card.
In addition, he and my son are much healthier since they quit the CCP. In the past they often needed medications or injections due to illness.

This has been true for my family. My husband is approaching retirement age. He requested not to take any leadership position. But his superior did not agree and said that a good person like him should be promoted. As result, he was promoted from his position as secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee to become the leader of a government department.
