(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from Pingjiang County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Before I learned Falun Dafa I had eight serious illnesses, including rheumatism, high blood pressure, and chronic stomach problems. Every night, my rheumatism caused me so much pain that I would go crazy. I would wake up my husband at 1 or 2 a.m. so he could hit me to make me feel better. I would scream from pain if he did not hit me. Usually after my husband fell asleep for a few minutes, I would have to wake him up. It went on this way for a few years.

During the day, I could not do much housework. I often had colds. I would go to the hospital to get medication and injections. It usually took me about two months to get better. Local doctors were at their wit's end about my illnesses. I had to go to bigger hospitals for treatment. After a period of time, even the big hospitals refused to give me medication. They said to me, "You will get better if you go home and get some rest." They knew that my illnesses were beyond what they could treat. I knew very well that life would be meaningless if I continued like that. I even ruined my family's life. I said to myself, what's the point of living like this?

In May 1998, I visited an old traditional Chinese doctor, who gave me 4 doses of herbal medicine and said to me, "If you get better after these, you can come back to see me. If it does not help, please do not come back." I walked away dragging my feet with the herbal medicine. When I got home I put them inside my cabinet and went to bed.

On the following day, a friend came to see me. She said to me, "I have good news for you. Falun Gong can help people." Then she told me about Falun Dafa, taught by Mr. Li. She said that we should practice "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and be good people. I thought it made sense and made up my mind to cultivate. A few days later, a fellow practitioner gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun.

On May 20, 1998, a fellow practitioner came to my home to teach me the five sets of exercises. After that, I felt very good and went to bed. I had a very good nights sleep.

In the morning, my husband was very excited. "Falun Gong is so amazing. You did not wake me up to pound on you. No wonder your friend said that as long as you put your heart to it, even cancer can be cured."

From then on, I practiced and studied Dafa every day. After a month, I recovered from all my illnesses. I did not bother to try the herbal medicine prescribed by the traditional Chinese doctor. In the past few years, not only has my health improved, my family members have also benefited. In March last year, my son rode his motorcycle to work and collided with a taxi at a street corner. Eyewitnesses thought that my son must have died from the collision. However, he picked himself up with no injuries, although his motorbike was finished. People all said that our family must have enshrined and worshipped some great god, otherwise my son could not have survived such an accident. Then they found out that his mother practices Falun Gong. Falun Gong has given my son new life and Master Li has given my son a second life. Kind-hearted people, please remember Falun Dafa is good and try it for yourself.
