(Minghui.org) My colleague introduced Falun Dafa to me in early 1996. When I began to read Zhuan Falun, I decided not to lie again, and to treat people I met kindly. I no longer looked for people’s shortcomings. Instead, I looked at my own words and actions. I noticed that people around me smiled more. I found it easier to get along with my family members and colleagues. I was able to help other people, and became more confident. Amazingly, I recovered from asthma and rhinitis.
Following the Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance at Work
I work as a doctor in a hospital. In the spring of 1997, the manager of the hospital finance department said to me, “An elderly lady came to see the director yesterday and mentioned you.” I was a bit shocked and asked, “Was any patient not happy with my clinical service and complained?” He replied, “She praised you for paying for her surgery.”
She was in her 60s and from a village. Her sons were in high school. When I told her that she needed an operation to remove cervical polyps, she cried and said that she didn’t have the money for the operation. She gave birth to her twin boys when she was in her 40s. They made a living on the farm and her relatives had to help her out financially, so her boys could stay in high school.
I wanted to help her, but not at the expense of the hospital. It was not uncommon for doctors to not charge family members or friends. But I remembered Master’s words:
“All Falun Dafa cultivators must strictly observe the laws of their countries of residence. Any conduct that violates a country’s policies or regulations would directly oppose the merits and virtues of Falun Dafa. The individual concerned is responsible for the violation and all of its consequences.” (“Appendix IV, Notification for Practitioners of Falun Dafa,” The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection)
I must obey the rules of the hospital. So I paid the expense for her. When I took her to the X-ray room with the payment receipt, the X-ray doctor said, “If everyone in the hospital was like you, the hospital wouldn’t need to address the issue of unpaid bills.”
In 1998, my section chief asked me to be the resident doctor in charge of the affairs related to the Medical Department and Infection-control Department. The resident doctor and attending doctor took turns managing these affairs for one year. I was the first doctor in this rotation. Because our hospital was short of attending doctors, I also had to take charge of nine beds as did the other resident doctors. This extra work required me to work overtime, especially at the end of the month when I had to do the statistics and analysis. I had to work from five a.m. to nine p.m.
I wanted to resign from the position of chief resident doctor several times. But, I gave up this thought when I remembered Master’s Fa.
Master said,
“Since studying Falun Dafa, these workers have been coming to work early and going home late. They work very diligently and will do any assignment the boss gives. They also no longer compete for personal gain.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
When I had done my duty after one year, my section chief was unable to find anyone who was willing to take over my job. She had to allocate it to three different people.
A nurse in the emergency ward called me out of my clinic one day in 1998 to do emergency treatment on a mother who’d lost a lot of blood giving birth at home. She was sent to us by a rural midwife. I immediately gave the woman a large and quick infusion and prepared to give her a blood transfusion and various blood tests. One item needed a normal blood sample for comparison. The woman didn’t have any family member with her. The rural midwife refused to have blood drawn or pay any expenses.
At this critical moment, I guaranteed that I would pay for the expenses of the blood test and asked the lab doctor to draw my blood. She refused. I said, “Be quick. Saving a life is of utmost importance.” The woman would not be given a blood transfusion if she didn’t pay for it. If she didn’t pay, the expenses would be deducted from the guarantor’s salary. I said, “I will pay for it. If I can save a life, I would like to bear the expense.”
Creating an Environment to Save Sentient Beings
The wicked Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa three times. I clarified the facts of Falun Dafa to people wherever I went. I remembered that I am a Dafa disciple in the Fa-rectification period and it is my responsibility to validate Dafa.
After I returned to work from going to Beijing, the police officers, government officials and ordinary people didn’t discriminate against me. Instead they trusted me more. I became a role model and a trusted doctor. Everyone knew that I not only had good skills but I also had a good work ethic. I didn’t accept any gifts, bribes, or queue jumpers through connections. I also treated the wives, mothers and daughters of many police officers.
The officers and policemen at the local level were utilized by the CCP to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. We practitioners are to save sentient beings. I didn’t treat them differently but tried to save them. Actually they were pitiful. Even though I had some fear, I knew I must save them. I was not a human being but a divine being. I didn’t think much about it, but faced the situation with righteous thoughts.
The chief editor of our local newspaper contacted me via the deputy director of our hospital. He brought his wife to see me for treatment. He’d met me at a banquet and toasted me in front of the distinguished guests, including high school principals, associate professors and head nurses. He admired my medical skills and work ethic. I also validated Falun Dafa and spoke of its benefits.
The hospital director and my section chief reported me directly to the local police department and the Health Bureau for clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa to people in 2003. Several police officers came to my hospital to investigate. They learned that my skills and character were very good. However, my presence became a threat to my manager. She wanted to defame me by claiming that I practiced Falun Dafa.
One of the hospital administrators said to me, “I was worried about how to manage you when you first came to work here. You’ve been here for three years. You are a good person. When my relative was to give birth, I asked you to check on her at night to ease my worry. It had been arranged for her to have a cesarean section. but you made it possible for her to have a natural childbirth. Your section chief was jealous. I hid all the documents that had to do with persecuting Falun Dafa every time I came back from the meetings in the city. I never executed their orders [to take part in the persecution].”
With the guidance of the Fa, I found my attachments of combativeness, jealousy, validating myself and seeking fame. I tried to get rid of them. I clarified the truth to the director and told her how I was persecuted for practicing Falun Dafa and how I behaved while I was mistreated by my section chief. I clarified the truth to her and demonstrated a practitioners’ realm as I exposed the CCP’s persecution.
I asked for leave to avoid any possible incident and demanded that my section chief apologize to me in public. I wrote letters to the management offices. The director talked to my husband several days later, and said to him, “She is applying for leave. I will grant her one week. Can you please take her on a trip?”
I discovered after I came back from the trip that I was granted the leave because an important conference was to be held in the city and the authorities were worried that practitioners would appeal for justice for Falun Dafa.
Several serious medical accidents took place a month later. My section chief and the director were demoted or fired as a result, and the hospital had to compensate the victims. More than 40 policemen arrived to keep order in the hospital. The officer in charge said to the director, “Why didn’t you ask her [referring to me]? If she were on duty, the accident would not have happened.” After that, I told people the facts about Falun Dafa privately – and one by one.
Clarifying the Truth in an Upright and Dignified Way
During the past 20-plus years, the CCP government officials changed over and over again. I clarified the truth to them again and again. I cultivated, saved sentient beings and worked against the persecution. I attended group Fa study constantly and did the three things, using the wisdom and righteous thoughts I gained from the Fa. I remembered that I shouldn’t push anyone to the opposite side and should only save people.
In June 2015 I filed a criminal complaint against former CCP leader Jiang Zemin for initiating the persecution of Falun Gong. I was working as a manager, and it was an easy job. Later, the section chief ordered me to sign a statement that said that I lodged the lawsuit abusively and wrongly. I tore the statement into pieces and asked her about my work performance. She said she was satisfied with my work and that I had cooperated with her very well. “Okay, that’s good,” I said. “As a section chief, you take care of the work. It is none of your business what I do outside of work. It is my legal right and duty to sue Jiang Zemin. Tell the officer in the political department to come to me in person. Please don’t take part in the persecution. Otherwise you will receive karmic retribution. Next time, I will file a lawsuit against the persecutors.”
The union chairwoman asked me to come to her office and complete a form. Her mother-in-law practiced Falun Dafa and clarified the truth to her. She understood the truth. So I said to her, “You must know that Falun Dafa is good. right? You know how much suffering I have gone through over the past 17 years. So I lodged a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin. I will lodge another lawsuit against whoever persecutes me.” She stood up and opened the door for me and said, “Good, good.”
Since then I have clarified the truth in our hospital in an upright and dignified way. I clarified the truth to most of the staff members as well as many government officials, and urged them to withdraw their membership from the CCP.
I attended various gatherings and parties with my husband, and met people from all walks of life. I validate the Fa and saved sentient beings. One head nurse said, “The Falun Dafa practitioners in our hospital share a lot in common. They have good health, and their husbands are very good to them.”
I clarified the truth to people at a gathering of lawyers and other legal professionals. Six people agreed to withdraw from the CCP. Among them were a deputy director of a bureau, a section chief, a director of a law firm, an associate professor and an officer from the tax office.
Once, at a barbecue, I came across a young man from the TV station who’d interviewed me during the peaceful protest of April 25, 1999. He’d slandered Dafa on TV at that time. I sat beside him and recounted our meeting back then. He apologized to me again and again. I clarified the truth to him. He agreed to withdraw from the CCP and accepted the truth-clarification DVDs and an amulet. He thanked me many times.
People Are Blessed After Knowing the Truth
One elderly lady recited “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. She was suffering from a tumor on her femur in 2008. The expert said that most likely it was malignant and she would be disabled after surgery. But it was benign. She recovered completely after surgery. Her whole family quit the CCP.
A female doctor learned the truth and withdrew from the CCP. She had a tumor in her bladder and it was most likely malignant. But the test result came back benign.
The daughter of a head nurse suffered from epilepsy at the age of six. There was no medical treatment for it. The head nurse learned the truth and told her daughter and mother to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. Her daughter recovered from epilepsy. She is now in high school.
One section director was in very poor health and needed injections from time to time. She learned the truth and withdrew from the CCP. She often read the truth-clarification pamphlets and spent paper bills on which were printed truth-clarification messages. Her health improved greatly. Her daughter graduated from a prominent university and landed a good job. She clarified the truth to her daughter and her boyfriend. They both accepted the truth.
Her husband likes to read Falun Dafa materials. He gives them out when he’s finished reading them.
There are many more stories of people blessed by Falun Dafa. I will not recount them all here.
I will not neglect my mission at this final stage of the Fa-rectification period. I will cooperate with fellow practitioners and walk well the path Master has arranged for me.
