Paraplegic Practitioner Jin Chengshang is Persecuted, Robbed and Sent to Prison

(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Jin Chengshan and I am 50-years old. I used to work for the Hulan District Police Department. In 1996 I was involved in a traffic accident and became paraplegic. I then retired and stayed at home. I had been looking for a cure everywhere for my festering bedsore. As none of the big hospitals in the country could cure my bedsore with modern medicine, I started practicing Falun Gong. My bedsore healed miraculously soon after I started the practice and my physical condition has changed for the better in various aspects. My wife Jiao Xiaohua also started practicing Falun Gong fortunately and my family, which was on the verge of breaking up, regained vitality. Although I was disabled, my family was harmonious and happy; my whole family benefited greatly from practicing Falun Gong. Through practicing Falun Gong, I felt from the depth of my heart the significant relationship and vital meaning of the Great Law of the Universe, "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Tolerance," to every life.
