[PureInsight.org] Dafa disciple Madam Zhu is in her 60's and lives in a city in northeastern China. After obtaining the Fa, she was constantly telling her younger brother and other relatives in her hometown about the benefits she received and urging them to practice it too. Her younger brother stubbornly insisted that things like tribulations did not exist and cultivation was useless. So he did not obtain the Fa. His son and daughter-in-law got to know Dafa just before the evil force started to slander and persecute Dafa on July 20, 1999. The brother forced his son to throw away all Dafa books and to stop practicing.
Madam Zhu tried to clarify the truth to her brother and her family members several times, but they were deceived so deeply by the evil propaganda that her talks had little influence. Madam Zhu wanted to give up. During September of 2002, the assistant at the previous practice site went back to his hometown to clarify the truth to the people there after he read Master's article "Hurry up and Tell Them." Other practitioners suggested that Madam Zhu also try again to tell the truth to her younger brother and other people in her hometown. Unexpectedly, the same day her husband asked her if she missed her younger brother, and also suggested she visit him. Madam Zhu said that she could not go by herself and asked her husband if he had time to go with her. Her husband did not answer and proceeded to go off to work. When he returned in the evening, he told her that his boss had allowed him to take five days off so he could go with her.
After a day's tedious travel by train, they arrived at her younger brother's home. As soon as her brother saw her, he burst into tears. He had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage the year before and had been bed-ridden since. During her visit, she tried to tell the truth to him and other family members. While listening he just nodded, and said nothing. Not until the third day did he speak. He told her that he did not want to read the truth materials because he already understood. What he really wanted badly was to get a copy of Zhuan Falun. His family members and Madam Zhu asked him why and, after some hesitation, he told them the secret that he had kept in his heart for one and a half years.
In April of 2001, he had a major medical operation and was comatose for eight days. Originally he did not believe human beings had consciousness after death, but during those days he saw his parents who had passed away a long time ago. His father was in a dimension in which he was still a farmer, while his mother was an official who always took a sedan chair wherever she went. A lot of people followed her. His parents urged him to go back as soon as possible and asked him to study the Fa once he got back, especially the heavenly book Zhuan Falun. He said that the beings in the other dimensions told him a lot of things including what would occur in the future.
When he came to in the hospital, he kept this secret to himself and did not mention it to anyone. One and a half years had passed since then and he was always experiencing severe medical problems. He was often in a daze and could not walk. When he saw his sister, he could not help but to cry. He already knew the truth that she had tried to tell him. The self-immolation in Tiananmen Square was staged. He also told his son and daughter-in-law that to make money was useless and they should study the Fa as soon as possible. The whole family felt anxious. Some of them wanted to learn the exercises immediately and asked Madam Zhu to teach them. They also asked her to hurry and get them a Dafa book. Madam Zhu had only taken some truth materials and one of Master's lectures, "Touring North America to Teach the Fa." She had just wanted to clarify the truth to them and had not expected that her brother and his family would want to obtain Dafa. She really wanted to get them a copy of Zhuan Falun, but she did not know where she could get one for them. She spoke to Master Li in her heart and asked him to help her to find a book. At that moment one of the family members suddenly recalled that a neighbor practiced Falun Gong. He volunteered to go check it out and went and told this practitioner the situation. Within an hour the Dafa disciple sent a book to them.
After Madam Zhu returned from the visit, she told this story to her fellow practitioners. Her husband, who had given up the practice after July 20,1999, was also moved during this trip. The second day after they got back, he started to read Dafa books and practice with Madam Zhu again.
