(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wang Lizhen lives in Qingyuanxian County of Fushun City, Liaoning Province. She is 37 years old this year. She was a worker in the county Chinese herbal medicine company but was laid off when her position was no longer necessary. Before she started to cultivate Falun Dafa, she had many illnesses including a heart problem, neurasthenia, gynecological problems, and liver disease. With no other options to treat her escalating liver disease, the 2nd Surgical Department of Shenyang People's Hospital performed surgery and removed 13 cm of her liver. After the surgery, her physical condition deteriorated and she had to take medicine and injections every day. She spent over 20,000 Yuan (1) for the treatments, but her health did not improve, and instead it became worse.

Five months after the surgery, her condition deteriorated further and she developed extremely low blood pressure, became disoriented and felt nauseated. She had a blockage in her vein and she suffered from pain in her back. She had to lean against a wall to support herself when she sat up, and she could not care for herself without assistance. After going to Shenyang to have a medical re-examination in the hospital, two more tumors were discovered growing in her liver. Looking at her two young children, she kept thinking why was she so unfortunate? She and her husband had both been laid off, but their children still needed money to go to school. It was already difficult to support the family and now they needed more money to sustain her life. In addition, it was impossible for her to have surgery again. She lost her courage keep going and was trapped in a hopeless situation.

She had heard some time ago that Falun Dafa teaches people to follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," and that Falun Dafa elevates people's morals, and can heal illnesses. In December of 2000, with the desire to live she began practicing Falun Dafa. She borrowed a book Zhuan Falun [main teachings of Falun Dafa] from others and learned the five exercises. Through studying the teachings and practicing the exercises, she came to understand the truth about human life. Later a miracle happened: her body was pain-free and relaxed, and all the illness symptoms disappeared. Not only could she take care of herself, she also started to be able to do the housework. Since then, the family has been full of happiness and their children have their mother's love and care again.

Their long-time neighbors thought that she did not have many months to live. She told them, "Now I am practicing Falun Dafa and all my illnesses have disappeared. Please don't believe any of the deceitful propaganda TV programs that defame Falun Dafa. My personal experience is the proof of the miracles of Falun Dafa." She also frequently tells other people, "There are many things in the world that money can buy. But what Dafa has given me cannot be bought with money, no matter how much money one is willing to pay." She felt so fortunate to be on the upright path of Falun Dafa.

Wang Lizhen is only one among the millions of Dafa practitioners. Among the practitioners, who did not benefit from practicing Falun Dafa? That people persistently practice Falun Dafa while facing such a severe persecution is enough to prove that Falun Dafa is good! The world needs "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." We hope that everyone can rationally view Falun Dafa from the aspect of justice, and can together resist the persecution against the kind-hearted people.
