People's Hearts and Cause and Effect

A Story from China: My sister was against our practicing Dafa after July 20, 1999. In rage, she had torn up a Dafa book. She also forced me to write a guarantee letter. She was very sick during the year I was in the labor camp. When I was released after hunger strike, I clarified the truth to her, and let her watch truth-clarifying VCDs, and read Clearwisdom.net materials and Master's scriptures. She woke up totally. She reads Dafa books whenever she has time, and also recommended to her friends that they learn Dafa. She even clarified the truth once when she went to the market with me. She has taken much less medicine this year. She had a lymph node a few days ago. The doctors easily removed the node form her mouth, it was about 1 cm by 0.7 cm large. She used to have a tubercular at her lymph area for more than 20 years, and her chin would swell up huge every time it got irritated. I said, "This is a good thing! You were rewarded because you supported Dafa, and your disease is totally cured." She said, "How miraculous!"
