Believing in Falun Dafa, My Father Is Blessed

(Minghui.org) My father often remarked that in his family, no man had ever lived past the age of 60. His grandfather passed away in his 50s when my father was only 20, so he never expected to live into his 90s.

Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I frequently visited hospitals and clinics because of cervical spondylosis. I tried massages, Tui Na (Chinese therapeutic massage), and physical therapy. My mother often prepared traditional Chinese herbal medicines for me, but nothing helped. Remarkably, since starting to practice Falun Dafa, my cervical spondylosis has healed without me even realizing it, and I have not needed to visit a hospital since.

My father saw firsthand how Falun Dafa transformed my life, and he came to appreciate its beauty. He read Falun Dafa books and knows that Dafa is good, that Dafa practitioners are good people, and the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution is wrong.

He has always supported my practice of Dafa, even after I was imprisoned for my faith. He never complained or blamed me. Once, out of concern for my safety, I reprimanded my father for talking to strangers. He reassured me, saying, “Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll take the blame.”

He eagerly read and watched Falun Dafa truth-clarifying pamphlets, DVDs and other materials. He came to understand that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a hoax staged to slander Falun Dafa. He often told those deceived by the CCP’s propaganda, “Don’t just blindly believe what others say; you must have your own thoughts.” He would also say, “No matter what the TV says, I will read the book Zhuan Falun myself.”

To his surprise, while reading Zhuan Falun, he gave up his decades-long smoking habit without realizing it. My whole family was delighted. He said, “Falun Gong isn’t like what it shown on TV. Dafa teaches people to be good.”

One day when he was in his 70s, he was struck by a minivan while riding his bicycle. The impact caused the bicycle’s handlebar to collapse. The driver was terrified and offered to take him to the hospital. He said, “I’m okay. Just take my bike home for me.”

Upon returning home, he immediately went straight to the neighbor, who was also a Falun Dafa practitioner, to share what had happened. With excitement he took out the amulet from around his neck and said, “It must be Master who protected me!”

After the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, my father read it carefully several times. He said, “This book is well written! Everything it describes about the evil deeds committed by the Communist Party is true. I experienced those things myself. The CCP has committed even more evil than what is described in the book.”

He also recommended the book to his former colleagues. He was among the first to use his real name to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations that he had once joined.

During the COVID pandemic, when my father was nearly 90 years old, he developed a fever reaching almost 41 degrees Celsius. Despite receiving injections, medication, and IV fluids, his condition showed no signs of improvement. The whole family was extremely worried.

My older brother had almost lost hope because one of his neighbors had died from the virus. He said, “Dad, it will be a miracle if you pull through.”

I told my father to silently repeat: “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.,” and sincerely pray to Master. I also played for him Master’s lectures.

Gradually, his fever subsided, and he recovered. A miracle had happened. Our relatives and friends were all amazed by his recovery. No one expected that someone of his advanced age, suffering from such a high fever, could recover so quickly. Falun Dafa is truly miraculous!
