(Clearwisdom.net) Ever since I was a child, I enjoyed reading stories of myths and legends. I especially enjoyed reading about the fantastical beings who were able to live very long lives, for it is only natural that a human being does not want to die. When I was fifty years old, I received some terrible news that caused me to directly confront my fears.
I suddenly started menstruating again in December 2010, after already having gone through menopause. I visited several major hospitals, and their results all showed the same thing, that I had cervical cancer. My first thoughts were that nowadays medical technology is very advanced and that many cancer patients manage to live for decades with cancer. My doctor recommended a more conservative method of treatment that would not involve surgery, and I took this as an encouraging sign.
However after multiple treatments, my health only got worse and worse. As of March 2011, I had spent over 60,000 yuan on medical expenses and felt like I was not getting any benefit for my money. The doctors eventually sent me home because they believed that my body was no longer responding to the treatment. However, I continued to remain dependent on medication to stay alive. I was extremely thin and in constant pain all the time. I could hardly eat or sleep.
My husband heard that Falun Gong had saved peoples' lives, so he invited a Falun Gong practitioner to our home in mid-August and suggested that I learn the practice. Wracked by serious pain, I agreed without hesitation.
After reading Zhuan Falun, I felt deeply drawn by the principles that teach us how to be good people. This was in stark contrast to everything the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) told us about Falun Gong. I felt regret that I had believed in the CCP's lies for so long.
I understood that Falun Gong is about cultivation, and not just for healing illnesses. My health started to improve and I was able to walk remarkably well within just a few days. My health soon recovered, and people were surprised when they learned that Falun Gong had saved my life. An acquaintance once said to me, “Wow, you look so healthy. You'd better keep it up!” As a result of the improvements in my health, many people are very interested in Falun Gong. My uncle and the former leader of the village were talking with the current leader, and said, “My niece has recovered from her serious sickness through practicing Falun Gong.” Because he said this, many other people also became aware that Falun Dafa is good.
After playing the video of Teacher's Fa lectures and the songs by practitioners at home every day, I have noticed that the atmosphere at my home has improved. My children no longer watch television programs that instill bad messages in people and they have become more respectful. When I listen to the Fa lectures, they sit down with me and also listen. My husband has almost quit smoking and is much healthier.
In our small community, one couple's wife is a Falun Gong practitioner. Because the husband is afraid of being persecuted by the CCP, he used to try to stop his wife from practicing. After he found out what had happened to me, he was very surprised and now he is even thinking about learning Falun Gong himself.
I now realize that Master has given everyone a path that they can enlighten along. Whether one gets on that path is entirely up to them. Although my family members do not yet practice, I know that they have already chosen a good future, because they believe that Falun Gong is good and that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, and have also withdrawn from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
