(Minghui.org) After I was released from a forced labor camp for practicing Falun Dafa, I found a job doing domestic work in a private home. I told the family that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner, and the only condition I had for taking this job was that I be allowed to read Dafa books and do the exercises. They had already dismissed many housemaids before I showed up, so they agreed to give me a try.

Liang, the old man I had to take care of, was often grumpy and had a very short fuse. He cursed at everything and everyone. Even his son and daughter-in-law hardly dared to come home because of his temper. I didn’t let it bother me and just focused on doing my job well.

In the first few days, I cleaned the kitchen and all the other rooms thoroughly and washed all the bedding. I prepared the right combination of foods for him and never took advantage when I was reimbursed. Liang kept his ears open at night, fearful that something might get stolen.

After observing me for a while, Liang started to trust me because I didn’t get angry no matter how he yelled at me. I treated him well according to the standards of a Dafa cultivator. He asked me to take care of his money, bankbook, keys, jewelry, and other valuables. He told his daughter, “I trust people who practice Falun Dafa, because they are not greedy and don’t steal; they are honest and trustworthy.” For more than three years, Liang gave me many opportunities to improve my xinxing.

On Liang’s 90th birthday, I bought lots of food and ordered a cake. His daughter and her husband, a police chief, both came for Liang’s party. Liang cried when he saw the cake I’d bought for him.

I was cooking in the kitchen while his whole family was waiting for me to eat with them. Liang then suddenly started to eat. As he did, he began to complain about me, saying that the dish was salty, not up to standard, etc. Whenever there were more people at home, he would usually yell or turn the table over. Since he was 90 years old, and the eldest of the family, no one dared to say anything.

When I brought more dishes to the table, he got angry again, saying that the food was too salty. His son-in-law spoke up, “Father, such a nice person is serving you—how lucky you are!” I took the opportunity to put some food in his mouth. This was the first time he didn’t turn the dining table over in many years. The whole family gave me a thumbs up. Because I took good care of Liang, the family offered me a 10,000-yuan bonus.

Later, when Liang was seriously ill and family members came to visit, I clarified the facts about Dafa to them and encouraged them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They said, “People who practice Falun Dafa have high standards and are honest.”

Police Chief’s Mother Kowtows to Me

After Liang passed away, his son-in-law, the police chief, asked me to take care of his mother. The job was relatively easy and I used my free time to talk to his parents. Once we began to get along, I began to clarify the facts about Dafa to them. I told them about the self-immolation hoax and encouraged them to quit the CCP. I also urged them to persuade their son to protect Dafa disciples in his job and that doing that would bring him blessings. After his mother truly understood the facts, she thanked me and even kowtowed to me.

A New Challenge

In 2017, I went to work for an executive of a foreign company. He asked my relative to find a Falun Dafa practitioner specifically to be his housekeeper, because, as he said, “They are trustworthy.” The work was easy and involved cooking him one meal a day. Every month he would go to another country to visit his family, but he never missed paying me on time.

This relaxed situation was a new test for me. I told myself that I must seize this opportunity to validate Dafa and not be influenced by attachments to fame, self-interest, and sentimentality.

Whenever I tried to clarify the facts to him, he would say, “You are involved in politics and are going against the government.” Sometimes he even slapped the table and shouted, “Where is God? Ask him to come. I will believe you when I see him.”

I was very troubled. I thought, “You ask for a Dafa practitioner to work for you, yet you still say such terrible things about Dafa.” I lost sleep over this and wanted to quit my job. But then I thought, “As a Dafa cultivator, I should look inward.” I realized that I had the attachments of competitiveness and jealousy—and I lacked compassion.

Master gave me wisdom and a hint that I should write a truth-clarification letter to him. After he read the letter, he was not so aggressive. I also told him about some of the NTDTV programs, and he was very interested. I asked a practitioner to help install a satellite dish so that he could get NTDTV and have the chance to see more programs himself.

He was afraid of monitoring devices in the neighborhood, so I told him. “You are only watching TV in your own home. Who would give you trouble? You can watch whatever you like.”

The next day, a miracle happened. He told me with his hands pressed together in front of his chest, “I solemnly withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party today.” Not only that, he also said, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, and Master Li is good” and started to clarify the facts to other people.
