Ms. Jiang had many diseases including back and leg pain, low blood pressure, urethritis, hemorrhoids and so on. Especially when she had back pain, she could not stand upright. All treatments were futile. The farm work was done only by her mother's family members. In 1997, the couple was happy to learn Falun Dafa.
