[Minghui.org] A Hairdresser’s Path to Health and Happiness

 June 18, 2025 | By Minghui reporter Shen Rong

From the Fa, Qiaoying understood the meaning of life and was able to gradually let go of her past misfortunes. She no longer blamed others, but was grateful for all the opportunities she had to pay off her karma and improve herself. 

(Minghui.org) Xu Qiaoying entered the beauty and hairdressing industry when she was 13. She is now 75 and remains steadfast in her career, with her passion for work as unwavering as ever.

While others admire her skill and stable life, few are aware of the hardships she has endured—including marital betrayal, financial ruin, and chronic illness, which once led her to believe she wouldn’t live past 40.

One day, Falun Dafa changed the course of her life, enabling her to break free from confusion and illness and emerge with renewed vitality and hope.

Mature Beyond Her Age

Qiaoying was born in a rural village in Chiayi, Taiwan. Her parents were farmers, and she had six siblings. The family lived a life of poverty and hardship. They barely managed to support themselves by farming, and covering the daily expenses of nine people was a huge struggle, let alone the expense of sending the children to school.

When Qiaoying graduated from elementary school, her teacher told her, “Since you can’t go on to higher education, why not learn a useful skill?” She took this advice to heart and, with the help of her teacher and mother, entered the field of beauty and hairdressing.

From apprentice to assistant to starting her own business, Qiaoying has always remained dedicated to her duties, diligently honing her craft and striving for perfection. Now in her 70s, she still personally styles her clients—her hands are weathered by time, yet still deft and full of passion and strength.

At age 75, Qiaoying still does her clients’ hair and makeup herself.

Qiaoying recalls that when she first started, Taiwan’s economy was booming, and many young people turned to shady means to make a quick fortune. What kept her grounded in the turbulent society was her mother’s advice. “My mother taught us from a young age that even though our family was poor, we must never lose our ambition.” Her mother’s encouragement and this sense of pride drove her to use her skills to support her entire family.

As the eldest daughter, Qiaoying has shouldered her parents’ expectations and family responsibilities since childhood. “My mother is old and in poor health. I am most worried about what will happen to my younger siblings if something happens to her.”

This deep concern has driven her to work tirelessly since she was thirteen. While others see her as glamorous and busy, her beautiful exterior hides all that she’s been through.

Failed Marriage

Qiaoying got married when she was 24. Her husband not only abused her physically, but also almost used up all the savings she had worked so hard to accumulate, leaving her with nothing after so many years of hard work.

She said, “At that time, there was only 17.5 NTD (~ 0.5 USD) left in my bank account. How was I supposed to live? When my husband realized that I had discovered he had taken the money, he flew into a rage and smashed all the furniture, throwing everything around in a frenzy.”

Faced with violence and deception from her spouse, Qiaoying felt extremely frightened. She recalled, “During that period, I felt like I was being torn apart. I had thoughts of ending my life several times.”

The marriage ended in less than a year, and she became a single mother who felt lost and helpless. Qiaoying admitted that she couldn’t find any meaning in life at the time and saw no hope for the future. She spent her days feeling depressed. “I often wondered why life was so hard and so tiring. Would I even make it to forty?”

Finding Hope

For a long time she struggled to survive for the sake of her children, and she worked hard to support her family. She also studied different religions, looking for a glimmer of hope in the midst of pain and confusion. In 2009, a trip back to the south to visit relatives changed her fate. Her brother was overjoyed after learning Falun Dafa, so he gave each of his sisters a copy of Zhuan Falun and a videotape of the exercises. He taught them the basic movements of the five exercises on the spot.

Qiaoying brought the precious book back to Taipei, and from then on, she played Master’s exercise teaching videos in the beauty salon every morning. When customers came, she worked; when there were no customers, she followed Master’s exercises and practiced them. She read Zhuan Falunrespectfully. While reading, she felt the wonder of the Fa and Master’s compassion, and her heart was deeply touched. She then read all of Master’s teachings, one after another.

From the Fa, Qiaoying understood the meaning of life and was able to gradually let go of her past misfortunes. She no longer blamed others, but was grateful for all the opportunities she had to pay off her karma and improve herself. She said, “I completely understood it. My heart is now filled with gratitude to Master.”

Remarkable Changes

Before practicing Dafa, Qiaoying had pain almost everywhere in her body. “At that time, I had difficulty even lifting my arms. I had to rely on physical therapy to maintain my physical functions for many years, but it was painful and expensive. From my head to my feet, I was sore and numb, as if my entire body and blood vessels were blocked.”

Because of this, when she first started practicing Falun Dafa, even simple movements, such as raising her hands, caused intense pain. However, she persevered through her tears. During that period, Qiaoying studied the teachings and practiced daily, aiming to enhance her capacity for endurance and perseverance and to push beyond the limitations of her body continually.

Qiaoying is doing the fifth exercise.

Soon, Qiaoying began to feel remarkable changes in her body. Having suffered from chronic constipation and a sallow complexion for years, she began to expel a large amount of toxins from her body. “At first, when I started practicing the exercises, I could feel that the sweat and waste products had an unusually foul odor. I knew that Master was cleansing my body, purifying every part of it, including the internal organs. After some time, I felt much lighter and more refreshed.”

Once, when Qiaoying was practicing the fifth exercise, she felt someone gently push her three times from behind while she was sitting in meditation. Immediately, the hip pain that had been troubling her for a long time disappeared. Another time, while meditating, she saw Master, wearing a yellow exercise uniform, strolling toward her from a distance. When she tried to see more clearly, the figure had already silently disappeared.

After the meditation, her hands were wet with her tears, “I knew Master saved my life!”

True Happiness

Qiaoying’s resentment and hatred gradually melted away through her cultivation practice. She gratefully said that it was Master who completely renewed her life. “Dafa turned every part of my life that was bad and negative and washed it clean, bit by bit!”

Now, she no longer asks why life is so hard. She smiled and said, “People see me living alone and think I am lonely and miserable, but true happiness comes from Dafa. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to practice Dafa! I want to follow Master wholeheartedly and practice.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

To learn more about the persecution Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to in China, visit http://faluninfo.net/.

For more information about the practice or to download Zhuan Falun, visit: www.falundafa.org. All books, exercise music, resources, and instructions are available completely free of charge.

【明慧网】化妆师的幸福修炼路:从苦难到光明


在大法中,乔盈明白人生来世的意义,并逐渐释怀过去的种种不幸。她不再怨天尤人,而是感恩这一切让她有机会偿还业力、提升自己。她说:“我完全理解了,对于过去遭遇的苦难,我都明白了,不会再去怨谁了。我的心现在只充满对师父的感恩。”

【明慧网二零二五年六月十一日】(明慧记者沈容采访报道)从十三岁踏入美容美发界的许乔盈,如今七十五岁,依然坚守在这条路上,对工作的热忱始终如一。外人见她手艺娴熟、生活稳定,却很少人知道,她曾历经婚姻背叛、倾家荡产、病痛缠身等人生磨难,一度认为自己撑不过四十岁。

直到有一天,法轮大法改变了她的命运轨迹,让她从迷茫与病痛中破茧而出,焕发生命的光彩与希望。

贫寒中的志气

乔盈出生于台湾嘉义乡下农村,父母以务农为生,家中兄弟姊妹共有七人,生活清苦拮据。家中仅靠种田维生,勉强支撑一家九口的日常开销已是极限,更别说提供孩子上学了。乔盈小学毕业那年,老师对她说:“既然无法升学,就去学一技之长吧!”这句话,她牢记在心,并在老师与母亲的帮助下,一脚踏进美容美发的领域。

从学徒、助理到创业开店,乔盈始终坚守职责、认真学艺、精益求精。如今,已年逾七旬的她,仍亲自为客人梳化,那双经历岁月磨练的巧手,依然充满热忱与力量。

图1:七十五岁的乔盈亲自为客人梳化。

乔盈回忆当年台湾经济正在起飞,不少年轻人为了快速致富走上偏门。而让她在浮浮沉沉的社会中守住本心的是母亲的教诲,她说:“母亲从小就教育我们,家里虽然穷,做人不能没有志气。”母亲的训勉与这份骨气,促使她凭借一技之长撑起了整个家庭的生计。

人生好苦婚姻更苦

身为长女,乔盈自小背负父母的期望、家庭的责任。她曾说:“妈妈年纪大,身体又不好,我最担心万一妈妈不在了,我的弟弟妹妹们怎么办?”这份牵挂与重担,让她从十三岁开始,就不敢停下打拼的脚步。外人看她风光又忙碌,可漂亮光鲜的外表下,却藏着说不出口的压力。

二十四岁那年,她结婚。丈夫不仅家暴她,还几乎掏空她辛苦赚来的积蓄,致使她多年的心血化为乌有。她说:“当时我的银行户头只剩下十七元五毛,这叫我怎么生活呢?当丈夫获悉我发现他拿钱之后,他还恼羞成怒地把所有家具全都砸烂,乱摔一通。”

面对枕边人的暴力与欺骗,乔盈感到非常恐慌,她描述道:“那段日子我整个人象被撕裂了一样,好几次都萌发想轻生的念头。”

婚姻不到一年便草草结束,她也成了彷徨无助的单亲妈妈。乔盈坦言自己当时找不到活着的意义,也看不到未来的希望,整天眉头深锁、愁容满面。“我常在想,人生为什么这么苦、这么累?我会不会连四十岁都活不过去?”

黑暗中看到希望

那段日子,她几乎是靠着意志力在撑。为了孩子,她努力赚钱养家;为了活下去,她也曾诚心叩拜,寻求各种慰藉之道,只盼能从迷茫痛苦中找到一丝希望。直到二零零九年,一趟回南部探亲的旅程,悄悄改变了她的命运……

她的弟弟在学了法轮功后如获至宝,便送给每位姐姐一本《转法轮》和教功录像带,还当场教了她们法轮功五套功法的基本动作。 

乔盈带着宝书回到台北,从此,每天一早,就在美容院里播放师父的教功录像。客人来了,她工作;没客人时,便跟着师父的教功动作学炼,同时恭恭敬敬地阅读《转法轮》。阅读过程中,她感受到法理的玄妙与师父的慈悲,心灵深受触动,便在之后接连读完师父的所有讲法经书。

在大法中,乔盈明白人生来世的意义,并逐渐释怀过去的种种不幸。她不再怨天尤人,而是感恩这一切让她有机会偿还业力、提升自己。她说:“我完全理解了,对于过去遭遇的苦难,我都明白了,不会再去怨谁了。我的心现在只充满对师父的感恩。”

修炼后的身心蜕变

修炼之前,她全身上下几乎是没有一处不疼痛的。“那时候我连抬手都很困难,长年要靠物理治疗维持机能,可是花了钱还要受罪;花了时间还很痛苦。总之,我从头到脚,从头部、肩膀、关节、腿到指头,都很酸痛,一直麻麻胀胀的,好象整个人和血管都是不通的。”

所以,刚开始炼功时,即便是举手的动作,都让她疼痛不已。然而,哪怕是痛到泪流满面,她也咬牙坚持。那段时间,乔盈每天学法、炼功,想增加忍苦精進的容量,希望能不断突破身体的局限。

图2:乔盈正在炼法轮功第五套功法——神通加持法。

很快,乔盈明显感受到沉重的身躯发生着惊人的变化。长年便秘、气色黯黑的她,开始排出体内大量的毒素。她说:“刚开始炼功时,都可以感觉到汗水、排泄物有异常的恶臭。我知道是师父在为我清理身体,把整个身体、五脏六腑都净化下来。一段时间后,整个人感觉轻松了很多,身体很轻盈、很清爽。”

有一次,乔盈在炼法轮功第五套功法——神通加持法,静坐时她感觉有人从背后轻轻推了她三下,随后那困扰她已久的髋关节疼痛竟然消失了。还有一次也是在炼第五套功法时,她在定中看到师父穿着黄色炼功服,从远方缓缓走向她,当她想要看得更清楚时,那身影已悄然消失。

她说:“静坐出定后,我发现自己的双手都是湿的,那都是我的泪水。因为我知道自己这一条命,是师父帮我捡回来的。”

真正的幸福来自大法

她曾经的不甘心与怨恨,都在大法修炼中一点一滴地消融。乔盈感激地表示,是师父将她的生命扉页全部翻新。“大法将我人生中所有不好的、负面的思维,一页一页地翻面、一点一滴地洗净!”

如今,她已不再追问为何人生如此辛苦?她笑着说:“别人看我一个人生活,好象觉得我很孤单、很清苦,但真正的幸福来自内心,来自于大法。我能有幸修炼大法,真的非常非常幸福!我只想一心一意地跟随师父修炼。”

朋友,您知道吗?从1992年5月开始,到2010年底为止,法轮功已经传到114多个国家,在那里人们都可以自由自在的炼功…

可是,在中国,从1999年7月20日开始,江泽民因为妒忌法轮功人数众多,对法轮功恶毒的诽谤与迫害。社会上很多人听信了共产党媒体的宣传和煽动,对法轮功产生了很深的误解与仇恨。

最为恶劣的,是在2001年1月导演了一场所谓的”自焚”闹剧,并通过新华社以从未有过的速度向全世界散播,嫁祸法轮功。这场闹剧,后被包括服务于联合国的国际教育发展组织(IED)在内的多个国际组织认定为虚假编造。朋友,您愿意把法轮功真相与更多的人分享吗?

[Minghui.org] India: Falun Dafa at YVCare Earth Festival in Mumbai

 Nov. 11, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in India

They had Falun Dafa books and informational materials on display. They also demonstrated the five exercises and distributed flyers to the festival goers to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners were invited to participate in the YVCare Earth Festival in Mumbai on October 28 and 29, 2023. Many visitors from diverse backgrounds—including environmentalists, police officers, TV celebrities, tourists, and others—showed great interest in learning more about the practice and expressed their concern over the 24-year-long persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China.

In India, winter is the season of fairs and exhibitions, and people visit book fairs, flower shows, and other exhibitions with their friends and families.

The YVCare Earth Festival is India’s biggest festival dedicated to the environment, sustainability, compassion, health and fitness, and a cruelty-free lifestyle. At their booth at the festival, Falun Dafa practitioners informed people about their spiritual practice and shared its principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. They had Falun Dafa books and informational materials on display. They also demonstrated the five exercises and distributed flyers to the festival goers to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

Because the festival focused on the environment and compassion, it drew visitors interested in a conscious way of living. Against this backdrop, many were shocked to learn about the persecution. Some thanked practitioners for speaking out about this issue.

A festival staff member who stopped to speak with practitioners said he was impressed by the their efforts. “This is very different from everything else. What you all are doing cannot be done by anyone else in this world,” he said.

Amey, a young man sympathetic to the Tibetan cause, said he’d heard about the persecution of Falun Dafa. He was eager to learn more and talked with practitioners, expressing his hope that the CCP would collapse because it is so evil.

Rajesh Sreedhar from a western suburb of Mumbai was amazed that practitioners booked the booth with their own money and were selling Falun Dafa books at cost. He was keen to know about Falun Dafa and the ongoing persecution in China and asked about the health and other benefits of the practice. He purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa.

About 38 people registered for free introductory Falun Dafa webinars so they could learn the exercises in detail.

Celebrities and the Media Stop by the Booth

Sara Khan, a TV actress, accepted a Falun Dafa informational flyer from a practitioner at the booth and promised to read it to learn more about this mind-body practice.

Practitioners introduce the exercises to festival attendees.

Rajpal Yadav, a comedian and actor in Hindi cinema, learned about the practice and accepted materials from the practitioners.

Regional news channel Superfast 24 stopped by the booth to interview practitioners and covered the exercise demonstrations.
