An Elderly Chinese Lady Still Cultivating Firmly Despite the Persecution

In my district, there is an elderly lady who has always been steadfast in her cultivation. Throughout her cultivation she has met many people to whom she has exposed the lies made by the Chinese Communist Party to destroy Falun Gong. Here I would like to share her good deeds with our fellow practitioners.

This lady is over 70 years old. She suffered from various illnesses and her mind was always off-track before practising Falun Gong. Once she had started to truly cultivate in Falun Gong her face glowed with health. She became physically healthy, open minded, and optimistic. Her changes were infectious and spread to those around her.

Even after the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, this lady never indulged herself. She continued to cultivate. One time, the local 610 Office agents illegally arrested practitioners and tortured them. This lady and other practitioners went to their town committee to ask about the arrested practitioners. The lady appealed for the practitioners' release by sitting in the yard and practising Falun Gong. Later, around five policemen tried to move her, but they couldn't budge her a bit. They were all out of breath and were left puzzled by this strange phenomenon. She said calmly, "You are not reasonable. Don't libel my teacher and Falun Dafa. Don't persecute practitioners!"

This lady always questioned, "Is there anything wrong with saving people? That is what our Teacher told us to do." One time, she went to post truth clarifying materials with her daughter. She concentrated on putting up the materials, but her daughter didn't keep calm and stable. When the daughter saw someone coming, she said to her mother: "Mommy, Mommy, there is someone coming." The older woman was not nervous at all. Instead, she turned to face the approaching young man and said to her daughter, "This young gentleman has arrived. He is the one that we should save."

The young man came up to her and asked: "Ma'am, what's happened?" The old lady said, "I am going to share something good with you. Keep it and it will save people." The young man accepted the materials exposing the illegal acts of the persecution and said sincerely, "Saving people is a good thing. I will surely take a look at it." Then, he left.

Even under the stress of persecution, this lady never minded. She always said, "No need to worry. Saving people is transcendence."

One time, she was "illegally detained" in a detention centre. She took this chance to clarify the truth to prisoners and to the policemen. She shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" After a while, she felt that she was ready to go because she had already clarified the truth clearly. She said: "I should go." She stopped eating. Her blood pressure went up and her heart rate became abnormal. The police had no idea what to do and had to release her.

This lady clarified the truth about the persecution and distributed materials around here area and also went as far as a hundred miles away to clarify the truth. When her relatives needed some materials, she carried a hundred VCDs on a bus to their homes. She then gathered her relatives and neighbours to watch the VCD. The result was very good.

Another time the lady went to another province to distribute materials. When there were only a few pieces left, she relaxed and bought an ice cream to eat. She thought that when those few materials were given out, she would go home. Her righteous thoughts were relaxed and someone reported her to the local police station. She compassionately clarified the truth and those who had come to arrest her were restrained by her peaceful and benevolent field, even though the persecution was very severe. Those policemen smiled and said, "Oh, so that is the truth."

Surprisingly, when she was arrested in that other city, someone phoned us. The practitioners from her area sent righteous thoughts together to eliminate the evil factors. The next day, she was sent to her local police station. The policemen there thought, "We cannot persecute this lady. Send her home." Before they let her go, the police took a hundred copies of some of the pamphlets. The lady said calmly, "Keep them to see the truth. I wanted to give them to you.

This lady once went to a policemen's home to give the family some truth clarification materials. Suddenly, a young man jumped in front her and grabbed her. He said, "Finally, I have arrested you. You are a Falun Gong practitioner. My grandfather is a policeman."

She was not nervous at all. She smiled and said, "Dear child, don't shout. Your grandfather knows me. He is a nice person. Maybe that's why you are such a good boy. So energetic! You must know that I have come to save you." The young man smiled and said, "Grandmother, I will not report you. I was only kidding."

This old lady does the three things well. Her environment has changed so much. She sends forth righteous thoughts and then drives a tricycle to clarify the truth and distribute materials every day. She goes where there are many people. Her family understood the truth and studied the Falun Gong teachings. Her neighbours were saved. The shoe repairmen, car repairmen, and sellers all learnt the truth. Lots of people in her company learnt the truth and were saved.

Now when this lady goes out, business owners in the street greet her and say, "Falun Dafa is good."

Some of then ask for truth VCDs, saying, "Dear lady, is there any new materials? Don't forget me!" Some of them said " If there is any news or VCDs, you bring them here and we can help you to distribute them."

There is truth in the older lady's plain words: "We should clarify the truth clearly. Save the people and they will support Falun Dafa and help us. Then how could there be any persecution?"

It's true. Let us go the way our Teacher arranged for us, melt into Fa rectification, do the three things well, and nobody can harm us.
