After more than five years of continuous cultivation, Chunying’s skin allergies, rashes, and itching that had plagued her for over thirty years, and which had defied all medical treatments, miraculously disappeared without her even realizing it!
【Minghui.org, September 12, 2008】 In the two weeks leading up to the Dragon Boat Festival, I received several calls from friends asking, "Do you still have the multigrain zongzi we ate last year? Order some for me." I knew without asking that they were referring to the mixed grain zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) made by Chunying. I immediately contacted Chunying, and her usual cheerful laughter came through the phone. However, she didn't immediately agree, only saying, "Okay, I'll try my best."
I asked Chunying why she was still considering it. Was it because prices had risen and it wasn't worth making? Chunying said, "No! I need to see if I have the time." For the past few years, Chunying has always made her homemade multigrain zongzi at everyone's request for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The multigrain zongzi are small, easily eaten in a few bites. Despite their small size, they are packed with many ingredients, including nearly ten kinds of grains such as sorghum, millet, and various beans, along with some vegetarian bean curd skin. They are simple, refreshing, and guilt-free. Often, people want more after eating them and place orders with Chunying again. Therefore, Chunying has to wrap zongzi several times a year during the Dragon Boat Festival, and often doesn't get a break even after the festival.
On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, I went to Chunying's new home to pick up some zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). All the houses in the new community look the same, but without having to look closely at the house numbers, it was easy to spot the five large, golden characters on the door: "Falun Dafa is good." There were already some people waiting inside, and the large table in the living room was piled high with fragrant, steaming hot freshly cooked zongzi.
"Excuse me, please wait a little longer, I still need to tidy up a bit." Chunying was busy with her hands and a smile, her mouth never idle as she answered everyone's barrage of questions. Someone said, "Chunying, I've never seen you so good-tempered before, you're really different now!" Another person asked, "I saw your husband waiting for you at such-and-such place the other day, saying he wanted to take you home. Even after so many years of marriage, he's still so considerate; you're so lucky!"
Christians donate books to begin their spiritual journey
“Yes! I also think I’m really lucky!” Chunying smiled happily: “That’s because I learned Falun Gong, and my whole life has completely changed.” Although everyone already knew that Chunying was practicing Falun Gong, they still found it very novel to hear her talk about how she came to be a practitioner.
Chunying said that she first came into contact with the book "Zhuan Falun" when it was given to her by her daughter's junior high school teacher. Interestingly, this teacher himself was a devout Christian. "When this teacher gave me the book, he only said that the book was very good and that I would definitely like it. Sure enough, after reading it, I couldn't put it down and picked it up to read whenever I had free time. But at that time, I didn't know that I had to practice the exercises."
One day, Chunying went to a steakhouse for dinner and noticed a bookmark with the words "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" on it. Delighted, she took the bookmark and asked the waiter where it came from. The waiter replied, "My aunt put it there; she practices Falun Gong." A little while later, the waiter's aunt arrived and told her that every morning at 4:50 a.m, there's a group practice session at the stadium, where the exercises are taught for free.
"4:50 a.m! I thought, how could that be! Too early! I don't want to go." Another month passed like this. Chunying said that it must have been her true destiny. She couldn't sleep for three days and three nights in a row. Finally, she made up her mind and rode her motorcycle to the practice site at the stadium at around 4 a.m. The first day was fine, but on the second day, her whole body ached, and she thought she shouldn't go anymore. On the third day, she couldn't sleep at 3 a.m, so she got up and decided to go again. This has continued until now, for more than five years. Stubborn illnesses completely cured; the whole family benefited
After more than five years of continuous cultivation, Chunying's skin allergies, rashes, and itching that had plagued her for over thirty years, and which had defied all medical treatments, miraculously disappeared without her even realizing it! Her frequent headaches, which she used to have to take medicine to relieve, or that would otherwise cause her to vomit from the pain, were also gone! Her gallstones, which were originally scheduled for surgery, were also gone! After eliminating these chronic ailments, Chunying said that not only had her family witnessed the miraculous power of Falun Dafa, but the whole family had also benefited from it.
“Once my husband developed shingles, a kind of virus, but he recovered quickly,” Chunying said. Now the whole family believes what is said in the book “Zhuan Falun”: “If one person practices, others will benefit.” And this benefit is not only manifested in the physical aspect, but also in the aspect of character development.
Chunying, who is tall and has a loud voice, described herself before she started practicing Falun Gong: "I used to be the kind of person who would be even more aggressive towards you if you treated me badly." She said that sometimes when her husband came home from work, he might be in a bad mood and had a bad expression. At that time, she could not tolerate her husband treating her like that, and she would always fight back with more intense words and attitudes and question her husband.
Always think of others, and your family will be filled with joy and happiness
The audience, who had been listening with great interest, asked, "And now? What is your attitude now?" Chunying replied, "After I started practicing Falun Dafa, I followed the teachings in the book 'Zhuan Falun' to always think of others first. I demanded of myself that I could no longer do that. When my husband looked unwell, I became even more concerned about him and asked him if something was wrong or if he was feeling unwell."
Chunying also admitted that it was a bit difficult at first. She couldn't follow her usual personality and emotions at all, and had to suppress herself. But strangely enough, after forcing herself a few times, she not only became more and more natural, but she also benefited the most, because her husband was moved and became more considerate to her than before. Whenever she went out, her husband would drive her if he had time. His love was shown in his actions.
Not gossiping is also a key point that Chunying strictly requires of herself after practicing Falun Gong. During family gatherings, she is always quiet and kind to everyone. Her relatives and friends see this and agree with the beauty of Falun Gong. They are influenced by each other, and the atmosphere among them becomes more harmonious. Chunying said, "Look, isn't this a case of one person obtaining the Fa and the whole family benefiting? Even family and friends benefit."
After Chunying finished her story, the rice dumplings that everyone had ordered were packed into individual bags. Someone asked, "Chunying, if there aren't enough, I'll call you again to order more!" Chunying smiled and thanked them repeatedly.

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.
