Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy

Thank You, Dear Daughter

I am a mother of three children. Watching them grow day by day is the most enjoyable experience. However, during the course of their growth, I've also come to know the sweetness and bitterness of life.

My eldest daughter was an obedient child when she was in elementary school. At that time, she did well in school. However, things changed when she went to junior high, and I wondered if it had something to do with her being an adolescent. At first, she disliked the clothes and shoes I bought her. Gradually, she even neglected her schoolwork. During holidays, she would go shopping with her classmates. She didn't even say hi to me when she came home, and she wouldn't sit with us at the dinner table until we finished our meals. Although she intentionally appeared to be alienating herself from us, I knew she expected our love and care. Since she didn't want us to talk to her about this, I was really at a loss during that period of time, not knowing how to communicate with her.

I kept thinking about this over and over, and then one day I decided to write her a letter. I told her, "I really appreciate your help around the house when I had sciatic nerve pain, which caused severe muscular atrophy in my buttocks, leaving me unable to raise my left foot while I walked. During that time, you helped take care of your younger brother and sister, swept the floor, bought groceries, did the laundry, and other household chores. I am really grateful to you. In my mind, you are always the best and most obedient child of mine." After that, I wrote to her many times. Every time I finished a letter, I would put it on her desk. Once, my youngest daughter told me that her sister burst into tears after reading my letter. Gradually, she started eating with the rest of the family and began sharing her school life with us. She became a diligent student, and her grades were among the best in her class.

This year, she was very fortunate to gain admission to the university of her dreams. I attribute such a wonderful change to my Shifu, Dr. Hong Tao Tze. Because I have been practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong, I have regained my health. Not only have I been able to take care of my children, I have also grown more patient when interacting with them. Sometimes I forget Shifu's teaching, but he always tirelessly encourages and inspires us to be grateful for everything. I applied the kungfu that I learned from Shifu to my children, and it really worked. I really feel very fortunate, and I am a very happy mother now.
