Before Zhuang started to cultivate Falun Dafa, she suffered from many diseases such as bone proliferation, heart disease, and anemia, and she was a paraplegic as well. After she started practicing Falun Dafa, all her diseases disappeared, and she became a healthy person.

In the beginning of 2000, in order to validate her belief in the principles of Falun Dafa, Zhuang went to a park to do the Falun Gong exercises with other practitioners. The police arrested her and detained her for a while.
