(Clearwisdom.net) Beijing Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang is 75 years old. At around 9:00 p.m. on March 25, 2011, Mr. Zhang was struck by a car when he was riding his bike on a bridge. Mr. Zhang heard a loud band, but did not know what exactly had happened. The driver jumped out of his car and ran to Mr. Zhang and asked, “Are you alright?” Without thinking, Mr. Zhang answered, “Yes.”
Then Mr. Zhang remembered what Teacher says in Zhuan Falun, “We have said that good or evil comes from a person’s spontaneous thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Zhuan Falun, 2000 version) Then he tried to stand up, but was not successful, so the driver carried him into the car, wanting to drive him home. Mr. Zhang thought, “I must cross my legs to do the sitting meditation.” He reached out for his left foot, and noticed it was twisted to the back. This did not bother Mr. Zhang, he just crossed his legs like usual.
The driver was visibly nervous and asked Mr. Zhang to not tell the police about the accident. He was afraid of losing his job and being unable to take care of his family. Mr. Zhang said not to worry, and asked him for a ride home. He told the driver that as a Falun Dafa practitioner, he did not want to get the driver in trouble. He added, “I would like to help you. If you are a member of the Communist Party and its organizations, you should withdraw from them for your own safety and for a better future.” The driver agreed and said, “Yes, I want to withdraw.” Mr. Zhang advised him to talk to his family members about quitting the CCP also. After they arrived at Mr. Zhang's, the driver helped him to sit down on the bed, at which time Mr. Zhang began the sitting meditation.
After the driver left his home, Mr. Zhang sat in meditation from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m He then called his daughter, who was not living with him. When she saw his injury she insisted on taking him to the hospital immediately. A doctor took an X-ray, treated the injury and sent him home. The following day they returned to the hospital to talk further with the doctor. The doctor explained that his left shin had a splinter fracture, and that surgery was required. (please refer to the photo below).

Seeing the photo and listening to the doctor, Mr. Zhang could not deny that the injury existed. Therefore, he did not stop his daughter from making arrangements for him to stay at the hospital. At 3:00 a.m. In the morning, Mr. Zhang remembered that he was a practitioner and had the power of Falun Dafa. He started to meditate, and continued until dawn. When his daughter came to visit him later that morning, Mr. Zhang told her, “I am fine, please take me home.” Seeing that her father was serious, she took him home.
Mr. Zhang's daughter was still worried about her father's broken bones, and suggested that they go see a Chinese medicine doctor. They went to a Chinese medicine hospital but were unable to meet with the specialist before he left the hospital, and so Mr. Zhang went home without treatment.

After coming home, Mr. Zhang practiced the Falun Dafa exercises and read Zhuan Falun and Teacher's other lectures every day. Within 30 days he was able to walk with the support of furniture and walls. He could perform all five exercises after 43 days, and was able to ride a bike after just 44 days. Approximately eight weeks after the accident, Mr. Zhang rode a bike for three kilometers to visit his daughter, greatly surprising her. Mr. Zhang has fully recovered.
