(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998 at the age of 28. I went to a fellow practitioner’s home to do exercises every morning at 4 a.m., and I studied the Dafa's teaching at night with more than a dozen other practitioners. We experienced joy and blessings every day.

After the persecution of Falun Dafa began, we lost the environment for studying the Fa together. My husband was afraid of the persecution, so he gradually stopped me from practicing Falun Dafa. My husband was irresponsible to the family, and I became very angry with him. My health started to deteriorate, and I was diagnosed with sciatica and gynecological diseases.

Although still in my twenties, I relied heavily on medicine. I lost the joy of living.

We were living with my in-laws at the time. My father-in-law was very tight with money and controlled our income, giving us very little to spend. Then someone told me that my husband had had an affair. I was so angry that I decided to leave home, and I stayed away for six months.

I went back home at the end of 2004 with the intention of divorcing my husband. My husband did not want a divorce and in desperation cut his right middle finger badly in an attempt to show me that he was determined to change. My sister and I took him to the hospital to have his finger sewn up. While I was away from home those six months, my husband had spent a lot of money searching for me. He also had medical bills to pay for kidney stone treatments. As a result, he had a lot of debt.

Although I decided to stay with him, I was not happy. Looking at my broken home, I lost hope, and I was not kind to my husband. I thought of leaving home again.

By chance, I visited the home of a person I used to practice Falun Dafa with. She was still practicing and gave me some kind advice. She said that I should be good to my in-laws and be a responsible mother to my son. Her daughter was present as well and suggested that I take up the practice of Falun Dafa again.

After returning home, I began to practice the exercises. A few days later, I thought I could not just do the exercises; I needed to study Dafa's teachings again, too. At this time, Falun Dafa books were not easy to obtain; however, because of my strong desire to practice again, circumstances occurred in my life for me to obtain a copy of Zhuan Falun. With tears in my eyes I held my Dafa book, full of joy.

I recovered from my many illnesses and regained good health after resuming the practice. I was full of energy. Neighbors often commented that they could see a spring in my step.

I followed Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my daily life. I had no fear of hardship as I worked on the farm from dawn to dusk. My husband also worked hard now, and I helped him pay his debts. I was always kind to my family.

My changes surprised my father-in-law. He inquired as to what caused them, and I told him I practiced Falun Dafa. He was very pleased and even took some of my Dafa booklets to keep. Our home became happy.

My husband became a good person and helped me deliver Dafa informational materials. He was blessed with good fortune. We paid off his large debt, and with extra to spare we bought our own home.

Falun Dafa saved my broken home and helped us become a happy family.
