The following is a true story. In 2004, Xingcheng (alias), an old man from North Korea, came to China to visit his aunt and uncle, both Falun Dafa practitioners. They were in their seventies, but very healthy causing Xingcheng to feel green with envy. He is poor and so during his stay in China he had to spend a lot of time collecting things to bring back to North Korea where things are more expensive ahd harder to get hold of, so he didn't find time to learn the exercises, but he did remember one thing: "Falun Dafa is good!"
After returning home, he wondered how he could make a living in a country without any social security like North Korea. His workplace had stopped paying his pension and his health was in a bad state. He recalled his aunt and uncle practising Falun Gong. But he didn't have access to any of the Falun Gong teachings and didn't know how to practise the exercises. Another big problem is that Communist North Korea has also outlawed Falun Gong, following the Chinese Communist Party. Anyone found practising Falun Gong would be treated as a spy and so the outcome would inevitably be bad.
Despite all these interferences Xingcheng really wanted to practise Falun Gong, so he wrote down "Falun Dafa is good!" (in Chinese) and hung it on a wall. He vaguely remembered how to do the fifth exercise set (although his movements were not quite correct). Every day, he kept doing the exercises. In addition, he sang some anthems that he wrote for Falun Dafa and it's founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, four times a day (at 12:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.). To avoid being caught, he had his youngest granddaughter stay outside to watch for him while he was singing.
Xingcheng did these things every day and kept "Falun Dafa is good!" in his heart. Soon, his serious stomach problem disappeared. Every day he felt he had so much energy. He often walked 50 kilometers instead of riding. His neighbours all commented that his changes were nothing short of miraculous.
Xingcheng's son suffered from serious enteritis, and sometimes he couldn't eat anything. To heal his illness, he took one month of vacation time to practise Falun Gong with his father. He continued practising Falun Gong after his vacation and he can now happily say that all his illnesses have dissappeared.
Xingcheng managed to return to China again and learned all five sets of exercises. It is said that many of his relatives also want to start practising Falun Gong.
This story demonstrates the beauty of Falun Dafa. I hope more and more people learn about Falun Dafa, assimilate to Falun Dafa, and are blessed by the teachings.
