(Clearwisdom.net) I am a thirteen-year-old practitioner from China. The only thing I can say is, "Thank you, Master and Falun Dafa for saving me when I was on the verge of death."
According to my grandmother, I started showing signs of illness when I was 4 years old and even after six months of medical exams, the doctors still did not know what I had. Only later, did we discover that it was "bone tuberculosis." My family was very poor at the time and my father had tuberculosis and needed injections continually. He was hospitalized many times, which cost a lot of money. We borrowed from many relatives and friends. Despite all the treatment, my father died a few years later. When I was five years old, according to my grandmother, I had three surgeries to remove growths; the first one was on my back. However, not long after, there was another growth on my shoulder, so a second surgery was necessary. Not long after that another one appeared on my foot, which led to yet another surgery. Although three surgeries were performed, it was not over. I had a bleeding infection that drained continually. A lot of money was spent. The hospital had discovered that it was an incurable disease after its original diagnosis, yet performed the surgeries, without telling us! We borrowed money from all of our relatives and friends, two of whom were Traditional Chinese doctors, who also said that the condition was incurable.
I was brought home to live out the rest of my remaining life. Because my father died, and now I was dying, my mother could not handle the pressure and left home with my sister. My sister and I are twins. I heard that my mother left with tears in her eyes. Ever since then, I have lived with my grandmother and grandfather.
They both looked everywhere for folk medicines, but nothing worked. Grandmother couldn't sleep or eat well and both she and grandfather cried every day. They didn't want to see me die, but who could save me?
One day in March of 2000, my grandmother met a kind person who practiced Falun Dafa. She told my grandmother, "Why don't you practice Falun Dafa? Only Falun Dafa can save your whole family. If you truly practice Falun Dafa, the disease will be cured." This is how my grandmother and I started to practice Falun Dafa.
At the beginning, I couldn't even stand up or sit up to listen to the Fa. We received 14 audiotapes of Master Li's lectures. Because my grandmother and I could not read at the time, we listened to the lectures every day. After listening for a while, I could sit up. Then my grandmother borrowed a copy of Zhuan Falun from a fellow practitioner, who also taught me how to read and use a dictionary. My grandfather also taught me how to read. Within six months, my illness was cured.
It was Master Li who saved me! Master Li and Falun Dafa saved my whole family.
Grandfather brought me to the hospital to determine the condition of the bone tuberculosis, but they were unable to find anything wrong with my body. The hospital gave permission for me to return to school.
Right now I am in second grade, because I don't know that many vocabulary words. I can't write any deep understanding of Falun Dafa, but I just want to thank Master and thank Falun Dafa.
I want Falun Dafa to be treated fairly, but such a good practice is persecuted in China. Falun Dafa teaches people to do good, avoid doing bad deeds, help people and always think of other people first. Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are what Master teaches us!
I will do the three things, which are studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth, that Master requires us to do, and I will continually improve myself.
Fellow practitioners, please point out any errors in my understanding.
