(Minghui.org) It has been 20 years since Master introduced Falun Gong to the world. I am not a practitioner myself, but nevertheless, I want to thank Master for his great compassion. You see, even though I am not a practitioner, Falun Gong has brought many wonderful things to my family. As the daughter of a practitioner, I have truly witnessed the greatness of Falun Gong, and would like to share a few of these stories with you here.
My Mother Takes Up Falun Gong After Being Told of Its Great Health Benefits
My mom has a strong personality. She is hardworking at both home and work, but before she took up the practice of Falun Gong she had poor health. Her illnesses included atrophic gastritis, stomachaches, lung cavity, sciatica, anemia, hypotension, headache with trigeminal nerve pain, and hemorrhoids. She went to many hospitals but could not be cured. We worried about her but could do nothing to help.
Desperate for a cure, my mom started practicing Falun Gong. She went to do the exercises in the morning and studied the Fa in the evening. Fellow practitioners were very peaceful and always looked inward. My mom’s diseases all disappeared, and she became energetic. I was so happy! Thank you, Master and Falun Gong, for saving my mom. My home was full of vitality after my mom regained her health.
Multiple Broken Toes Rapidly Heal
In April 1996, my mom was knocked down by two cargo bikes. Her left foot was injured and could not touch the ground. Instead of fighting with the two riders, she asked them to go back to work. I took her to the provincial hospital for an examination the next day. The doctor told me that five of her toe bones were fractured. I was very worried that she would become crippled and that no one could take care of her. My mom said, “Don’t worry. We will have to pay off our karmic debts. I will be fine by believing in Master and Dafa.”
My mom agreed only to have a cast to fix the broken bones and did not take any medicine or injections. She insisted on doing the exercises and studying the Fa.
After ten days, she asked for another examination. The result showed that everything was normal, and there was no sign of the fracture. All the doctors were shocked, and one claimed that it was incredible. My mom told the doctor that she was a Falun Gong practitioner and he replied thoughtfully, “Now I understand why so many people practice Falun Gong.” However, the doctor dared not take off the cast. After my mom got home, she said, “Master, I don’t want to wear the cast anymore.” She patted the cast once, and the cast fell on the ground. My mom could sit in the double-lotus position again and could walk very quickly.
Quick Recovery After a Traffic Accident
In July 1998, my mom was hit by a large truck. She lost consciousness and a lot of blood. The scared truck driver accompanied my mom to the hospital in a taxi. I rushed to the hospital and the doctor told me to prepare for the worst. He told me the following: The CT scan showed that her brain was seriously injured, and the main blood vessel in the left half of her brain was ruptured. Even if she were to wake up, she would only be in a vegetative state. There was nothing we could do to help; there were no treatment options.
My heart almost broke when I saw her lying there in the same posture every day.
Ten days later, the hospital called and told me that my mom had recovered. She told me that she had woken up the night before and remembered that she was a Falun Gong practitioner. She begged Master to help her sit up to meditate. She told me that during meditation, Master took care of her, and she was able to walk and look after herself. The next morning, she cleaned herself and did the full set of exercises. A few days later, the doctor did another CT scan at her insistence. The result showed that everything was now normal.
This shocked all who were present. The doctor told my mom, “Falun Gong is wonderful! Can you teach me to practice?”
She was released from the hospital that day. My mom returned the money that the driver paid her to cover her medical bills. I could not understand it. She said, “He did not hit me on purpose. Master helped me because I want to be a genuine practitioner and let go of the attachments to fame and personal interests.” I realized that Zhuan Falun teaches people how to become a better person. I respect Master and Falun Dafa. I respect my mom more because she is a Falun Gong practitioner.
Persecution Begins
In 1999, the persecution of Falun Gong began. When I went to visit my mom, I opened the door to find her home a mess. I looked everywhere but could not find her. I then understood that she must have been picked up and detained by the authorities because of her practice of Falun Gong. Thus I began to taste the suffering that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would bring to us.
I felt very sad, but I understood that Master is good and that Falun Gong is good. My mom did nothing wrong by practicing Falun Gong. So I decided to try my best to protect my mom and support her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
When I visited my mom a week later, she was arrested again. I accompanied her to the police station. When it was her turn to be interrogated, the police officer ordered me to leave. I said, “My mom is not a bad person. She is not a prisoner. Why should I leave? Your only reason for arresting her is because she practices Falun Gong. Can Jiang Zemin get rid of my mom’s diseases? If he cannot do this, then my mom has to practice.” The officer did not say anything and let us go home after a while. I wasn’t normally a brave person and did not dare to argue with others. When I looked back, I realized Master was protecting me that day.
The CCP’s reasons for the persecution of Falun Gong were proven to be lies. The victims are those who believe the lies. My mom clarified the truth to people, and I tried my best to help her. I felt it was an honor to help Dafa disciples.
My Mom's Firm Belief Helps Me in My Own Life Challenges
Some time later, I lost my job and could not find another one. I also contracted Hepatitis B. My mom supported me in every aspect. She said, “Everything will be fine, because Master is there to help us.” With this belief, I found a job within a year. My diseases were also cured.
When my son was born, he weighed less than five pounds and had an abnormal temperature. The hospital did not expect him to survive. I was very worried. My mom went to see the baby and told me, “I am a practitioner. I have confidence, so you don’t need to worry about it.” My mom looked after my baby, who was later released from the hospital. Another newborn in the same situation at that hospital passed away.
My mom helped look after my son after we got home and read Zhuan Falun to him. At six months, he yelled “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” loudly. All people present were shocked. The doctor visited us every two weeks and found my son’s good health beyond his expectations. When my mom told him the greatness of Falun Gong, the doctor said, “Falun Gong is incredible!” My son grew up in good health and is in the fifth grade already.
In Closing
The reason I wrote this is because things would be different if my mom were not a practitioner. Although I am not a practitioner myself, I read Zhuan Falun in 1999. It is true that as long as there is a Falun Gong practitioner in our home, all family members will have blessings.
The propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is untrue. From my mom’s case, I can tell that Dafa disciples would never kill or commit suicide. They would not hurt their family members.
My mom, now 71, looks like a young person and rides a bicycle when she goes out. I want to tell everyone to please read the materials Falun Gong practitioners give you. Please also treat Falun Gong practitioners kindly. By doing so, you will benefit.
I am very appreciative of Master for saving my mom, my son, and myself. Thank you, Master, for giving us a brilliant future.
