The Change in My Mother-in-Law

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from Liaoning Province. After studying the Falun Gong teachings, I have always held myself to a high moral standard. I would often wash clothes, clean the house, buy fruit or clothes for my mother-in-law and treat her very well. My father-in-law was very pleased and would tell everyone he met that his son and daughter-in-law are very filial. My father-in-law used to practice Falun Gong before July 20th, 1999. However, when the evil persecution began, he stopped practicing under the immense pressure. Nevertheless, he still knows the goodness of Falun Dafa in his heart.

I would always help out with household chores nonstop whenever I visited them. Whenever I had a break, I would tell my mother-in-law about the benefits that my entire family gained from practicing Falun Dafa. She would always remain very quiet. Then, she would always tell my father-in-law after we left that she liked everything about me except for the fact that I practiced Falun Dafa. There were two reasons. First, she was afraid of being persecuted herself, and secondly, her eldest son's wife had died even though she had tried a lot of qigong¹ practices to heal her diseases. This led my mother-in-law to develop a very bad impression of all qigong practices.

After learning of my mother-in-law's obstacles, I talked to her patiently about Falun Gong and what has been wrongly reported in the media, answering her questions one after another.

I also told her about the extraordinary acts of practitioners. From then on, my mother-in-law would tell everyone she met that her daughter-in-law was a very good person.

Once, my mother-in-law saw one of her neighbors talking to me very enthusiastically. She asked me, "Why does that woman treat you so well?" I replied, "A few months ago her head turned and tossed involuntarily and her hands jerked very violently. She could barely take one step in half a day. Now, since I have assisted her in her cultivation, she has completely recovered. She has only been practicing for three months." My mother-in-law was full of doubt and rushed out to personally ask the woman.

This woman, whose surname is Yu, is over 60 years old. More than 20 years ago, she contracted a lot of diseases after giving birth. She had constant pain in her legs, tossed and turned her head, and could not tend to herself. From then on, her husband left her with her family. She told my mother-in-law, who was by now full of tears, that it was Falun Dafa that saved her.

One night, my mother-in-law could not fall asleep and remembered the woman's words. She began repeatably reciting "Falun Dafa is good" in her heart. Suddenly, she felt as if a big hand was at the top of her head fanning her. Thereafter, her head felt clear and renewed, more than ever before. She used to have to take medicine for high blood pressure and pain in her legs. However, after she woke up she felt light all over her body and the pain in her head and legs was all gone. In the six months from the Chinese New Year to the present her health has improved tremendously.

Now, she tells her son, daughter, and all of her family and friends, "It is Falun Dafa that cured me. I will never believe the lies on the television again!"
