Name: Li Huabin (李华彬)
Gender: Male
Age: in his 70's
Address: No. 5 Brigade, Guihua Village, Xinhe Town, Jianyang City, Sichuan Province
Occupation: Tinsmith
Date of Death: January 12, 2012
Date of Most Recent Arrest: September 17, 2011
Most Recent Place of Detention: Er'ehu Brainwashing Center (资阳市二娥湖洗脑班)
City: Jianyang
Province: Sichuan
Persecution Suffered: Brainwashing
(Clearwisdom.net) Another Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Li Huabin, died on January 12, 2012 after being abused at the Er'ehu Brainwashing Center in Ziyang City, Sichuan Province. Mr. Li was released at the end of December 2011, and he began to lose consciousness shortly after returning home. His symptoms are very similar to that of physician Mr. Wu Yihua, a Falun Gong practitioner who died on December 12, 2011 after abuse in detention. It has been alleged that forced drug administration at the brainwashing center led to Mr. Li's death.
Mr. Li, in his 70's, was healthy before the arrest. For over a decade, he often rode a bicycle to Dongxi Town, which is several miles away, to repair metal pots.
In August 2011, Li Huabin went to Pingwu Town and played a truth-clarification DVD in a farmer's home. He was reported and arrested by officers from the Pingwu Town Police Station. He was later taken to the Er'ehu Brainwashing Center in Ziyang City, where he was subjected to brutal brainwashing. He was pressured to write the “five statements” to renounce Falun Gong.
Mr. Li was released at the end of December 2011. At 9:00 p.m. on January 11, 2012, he lost consciousness and failed to respond to medical treatment. He passed away in the afternoon the next day.

Name: Wang Yuluan (王玉峦)
Gender: Female
Age: 55
Address: Anping County, Hebei Province
Date of Most Recent Arrest: October 15, 2010
Most Recent Place of Detention: Unknown
Persecution Suffered: Illegal sentencing, detention
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wang Yuluan, a disabled woman and resident from Anping County, Hebei Province, was illegally arrested by police from the Anping County National Security Division on October 15, 2010, because she insisted on practicing Falun Gong. Judge Zhu Huiqing at the Anping County Court sentenced her to seven years in prison in June 2011. Wang Yuluan's family decided to sue Zhu Huiqing.
The Anping County Court secretly opened a session and heard Wang Yuluan's case on June 15, 2011. Wang's family did not receive any legal documents or written notices from the court, nor any oral notification of requesting a defense attorney. This resulted in Wang's family not being able to sit in the court. Her family asked an attorney from Beijing to defend her plea of not guilty. However, the court denied the attorney's involvement and appointed an attorney to to defend her with a guilty plea. The court sentenced her to seven years in prison on October 3, 2011.
Wang Yuluan's family went to the court and requested the court verdict document on October 10. Yet, Judge Zhu hid from them and did not want to meet Wang's family with the intent of delaying Wang's appeal. Up until 4:00 p.m. on the last day to appeal, Zhu Huiqing did not show up to see Wang's family and attorney, even though Zhu promised to hand the family the verdict paper. Finally, under the family attorney's strong request, Zhu Huiqing received Wang's appeal paper.
Ms. Wang's disabilities cause her great difficulty. Her arms are stiff and cannot bend, so she is unable to take care of daily tasks. At meal time she has to pour her food onto a flat plate and then licks up the food with mouth. Steamed buns have to be broken into very little pieces for her because her teeth are too weak to bite the food. When she washes her face she has to wet the towel, leave it on a flat area, and then put her face on the towel to wash. To brush her hair, she has to use a comb attached to a long wooden stick that reaches her head. Her family has to help her put on her clothes. Using the restroom is also very difficult for her. Consider this: a disabled person who cannot take care of herself was arrested, detained, and sentenced by the Chinese Communist Party's 610 Office, simply because she believes in the principles of “Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance.”
Currently, Wang Yuluan's family has decided to go through the legal system to seek justice for Judge Zhu Huiqing's abuse of the law.
Name: Xie Hanzhu (谢汉柱)
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Address: Meizhou (梅州)
Date of Most Recent Arrest: Unknown
Most Recent Place of Detention: Meizhou Prison
City: Meizhou
Province: Guangdong
Persecution Suffered: Beatings, imprisonment, sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, torture, physical restraint
(Clearwisdom.net) One day at about six a.m in early October 2011, Meizhou City Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xie Hanzhu, who was incarcerated in Cell 509 of the 12th Prison District, shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” As he shouted, his voice became louder and louder. Five inmates who were monitoring him tried to stop him by smearing his lips with human feces.
The chief of the inmates who monitored Falun Gong practitioners immediately went to get hold of on-duty guard Zhang. Zhang went to Cell 509, yelled at Xie Hanzhu, and ordered him to stop shouting “Falun Dafa is good!” Mr. Xie did not comply and kept on shouting, angering Zhang so much that he beat Mr. Xie brutally. Gradually, Mr. Xie's voice weakened, but he still continued calling out for another half hour.
After meeting for two days, the prison's 610 Office decided to move Mr. Xie to Cell 603 for implementation of “strict control,” and they increased the number of inmates monitoring him from five to eight, in a room of about 200 square feet. They put heavy shackles on him. The cell was also supplied with a huge loudspeaker, and as soon as Mr. Xie shouted, “Falun Dafa is good,” the inmates monitoring him would turn on the loudspeaker to cover up the sound of Mr. Xie's voice.
To pressure Mr. Xie to give up his belief, the guards tortured him physically and mentally without restraint. He was only allowed to sleep two hours every six days, which caused him to suffer tremendously. An inmate with some compassion said, “If this torture continues, he'll be mentally sick sooner or later.”

(Clearwisdom.net) A "Solemn Declaration" is a person's public statement to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. These statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wish to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practice again. Now, they hereby declare their intention to resume practicing Falun Dafa.
Here are some examples of the Solemn Declarations:
Please click here for more Solemn Declarations.
(Clearwisdom.net) I have benefited from reading every article from the Eighth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China and have seen fellow practitioners' shining virtues.
With an attitude of humbleness and respect, I carefully read each Fa conference article on a daily basis. I have felt that each article was the result of unselfish sharing from fellow practitioners through numerous difficulties—wind and rain, as well as a willingness to risk their lives and share their comprehension of the boundless Dafa.
From 80-year-olds to ten-year-old children, from veteran fellow practitioners who have cultivated over ten years to ones who just started practicing Dafa, they simply talked from the bottom of their hearts about how they benefited from Dafa, about their growth, about their life after beginning Dafa, and how they helped assist Teacher's Fa-rectification and saving of sentient beings. While reading these articles, I seemed to see each and every fellow practitioner's expression and heard his or her voice. Their compassion reveals fortitude; their distress reveals faithfulness; their time of hardship reveals optimism; their time of success reveals stability and calm. Under the direction of Dafa, fellow practitioners, after having been tempered with difficulties, numerous trials and tests, demonstrate the indomitable attitudes of Dafa disciples, follow the steps of our Teacher's Fa-rectification, and interpret this period's extraordinary history.
Fellow practitioners have been telling facts about Dafa and the persecution, some face to face, some using phones, some passing out fliers and Shen Yun VCDs, some focusing on exposing the evil, some doing coordination year after year, some working and producing materials year in year out. Although we do different kinds of work and use different ways to save people, we are all together on the same foundation of believing-Teacher-Trusting-the-Fa, duty-bound, walking the path of divine beings without hesitation, as Teacher requires.
Every word on every line in every article expresses Dafa disciples' message of appreciation to Dafa's Master. Carefully reading every article, I was able to gain a heartfelt understanding of the writer's aspiration, touching my soul so deeply that tears came to my eyes. I was so grateful, in total agreement with the fellow practitioner! Without our great Teacher carrying out Fa-rectification in this human world, there would be no Dafa disciples today, nor would there be a universe or any sentient beings.
It seemed that every article was written from each practitioner's own heart, through his or her tears, depicting, for these many years, each and every brand new life, witnessing how great, sacred, and beautiful Falun Dafa is in different societies. In the midst of Teacher's arduous salvation, Dafa disciples are not bothered by things in human society, gradually reaching a selfless realm in cultivation and blazing a path for humans to become divine beings. This is the most glorious thing, that every Dafa disciple came to assist Teacher in Fa-rectification.
All of these articles are written by Dafa practitioners with their most pure and sacred hearts, as a special tribute to our compassionate Teacher. They bear witness to an indispensable glory and holiness in the new universe – an honor bestowed on Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples!
(Clearwisdom.net) Every time after reading about the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners on the Internet, I would feel really bad and it would take a long time for me to calm back down. What could I, and should I do? Dafa practitioners should form one body, and as a part of the body, I should be supporting it. So one day, I finally decided to call one of the individuals responsible for persecuting practitioners.
I called the Secretary of Discipline of a research institute in Jilin Province. Practitioners in China know that this position is responsible for many instances of persecution. My main purpose was to stifle the evil and assist fellow practitioners. After I said to him that he must stop persecuting so and so, he immediately turned off his cell phone. I sensed that when he heard what I said, he was frightened and full of fear.
Recently, the blocking of Internet access has been a common CCP tactic. However, I was able to get on the Internet and find a case in which a police officer illegally arrested a practitioner and detained him in a prison. I called this officer from Pinan County, Hebei Province, and told him that “Good is rewarded with good, and evil is met with due retribution,” and that his participation in the persecution would bring bad things to him. He kept listening over the phone and did not say anything.
The warnings I gave to the individuals above were intended to restrain the persecution. At the time, I had no fear, just like what Teacher had said,
“If you are not afraid, the factor that would make you afraid will cease to exist.”
(“Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)” from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
However, I now understand that I should have done this more rationally and I should pay more attention to safety.
The following is my own understanding about making phone calls. Fa-ratification is in its last phase. If all practitioners in China with the means to make calls called these bad people (make sure not to use local phone numbers), instead of relying on overseas practitioners to make the calls, wouldn't this represent a step forward in forming a whole body? I think it would put greater restraint on those who participate in the persecution. It would also help to clean up more evil beings in other dimensions. Those who have committed crimes would become afraid, and our efforts would be a heavy blow to the persecutors.
Please point out anything that is improper in my understanding. Heshi.
(Clearwisdom.net) I am seventeen years old and this is my second year in high school. I usually get home from school around six o'clock in the afternoon. I do my homework and the Falun Gong exercises before going to bed at 9:30 and getting up to study the Fa at 3:00 a.m. But, this December there was a joint examination and our school started preparing for it beginning in the middle of November. So the school day was over at seven instead of six, and I lost an hour. Later, we had a model examination in our school and we were told that if we did well, we would be exempted from doing further preparatory work. I was not a top student in school and I did not want to do the preparation. I asked Teacher for help so that I could return home early (I was looking for a more comfortable life). Then, all of a sudden, I was not required to do any more preparation and could return home at 5:30. I am grateful to Teacher for giving me more time.
These past few days a classmate had been showing his affection for me and bringing me gifts. I was emotionally affected and was not as diligent in Fa study as I was in the past. I realized that this was a test for me and I began copying out the book Hong Yin III. These lyrics told me that Dafa disciples have a mission, which is to save sentient beings. Tears flowed down my face as I was copying, and I understood the importance of saving sentient beings.
One day, one of my classmates, who I thought didn't believe in divine beings, brought a small jade Buddha with her. I asked her whether she believed in Buddha and she said yes. Her mother encouraged her to do so. Naturally, we began to discuss the topics of atheism, the Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square massacre, and the persecution of Falun Gong. She listened to me quietly and at the end agreed to withdraw from the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. I recalled that when I first talked to her about Dafa, she argued with me about everything I said. At that time I developed the notion that young students were brainwashed and difficult to save. Most adults knew that the communist principles were bad and I felt that they were easier to save. Now I understand that holding on to a preconceived notion is a hindrance to saving sentient beings. By not holding on to any notion other than wanting to save people, we can reach the real self of the person.
A few days ago, my aunt fainted and was sent to the hospital. The initial medical exam indicated that an aneurism had caused cerebral hemorrhaging, which is very dangerous. My mother asked my grandparents and my father to recite, “Falun Dafa is good” and to ask Teacher for help. The next day, the doctor said that there was no aneurism and that my aunt could go home. Teacher provided us with a miracle once again. The event caused my father to agree to withdrawing from the CCP. (In the past my father did not want to listen to facts about Dafa and he did not know that I was a practitioner.)
Before I was born, my mother and her parents were already practicing Falun Dafa. When I was a child, I used to dream about Teacher with a Law Wheel keeping me company and I would wake up smiling. I remember one special dream very clearly. I saw a large sliding board about 15 stories high. A lot of people, including me, were climbing up the board. After reaching the top, some people below said that it was fun to slide down. Many people slid down and left. I slid down too, but it did not feel good. So I decided to climb back up once more. Fewer people joined me this time on the way up. Furthermore, every step I took was quite difficult, and the anxiety woke me up. I felt pretty bad and did not know what the dream meant. Now, I believe that this is the ladder to heaven that Teacher has given us. It is regrettable that some of them slid down and left.
This is the first time I have written an article, and I did it with the encouragement of fellow practitioners to share my understanding of the Fa. All of us came for the Fa. May all young practitioners remember our historic mission and do what we should as Dafa disciples.
My level of understanding is limited. Please point out anything that is improper.
(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and am 62 years old. Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Dafa, I faced torture and mistreatment over and over again. After being tortured one night, my arm was disabled and my legs were paralyzed. With Master’s help, I was able to recover a little. I was able to stand up but not walk on my own and could move my arm a little. I remained like this for several years. Now I have completely recovered. I’d like to share some miracles I encountered when I was paralyzed.
Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts to Make the Police Sleep
Two days before the 2002 New Year, I was illegally arrested and taken to the Domestic Security Division of the area's police bureau. Upon arrival there I noticed that five practitioners had already been detained. I told them, “I can't walk, so I cannot escape. I will send forth righteous thoughts so you may find an opportunity to get away.” Then I sent the righteous thought: “Make all the police who are monitoring Dafa practitioners sleep.” With that thought, three or four of the police officers couldn’t keep their eyes open. They went to sleep and only one female officer was watching us. After a while, that female shouted, “Someone, come quickly! My head is about to split open. I am too tired. Someone else has to take their turn.” Another police officer came and she left. Then, that policeman fell asleep on the couch.
It was an opportunity for the other practitioners to escape. However, they were full of fear and didn't hold enough righteous thoughts, so they didn't escape. A practitioner came to me and asked, “Can I?” No matter what I said, she didn’t dare to leave. The next day, we were all taken to a detention center and then some were transferred to a forced labor camp. Only I was released and taken home.
Tight Handcuffs Fell Off
In the summer of 2003, I was again arrested and taken to a detention center. Because I insisted on practicing the Falun Gong exercises, the police put handcuffs and shackles on me. The shackles were over 50 pounds and bound my ankles tightly. There were also metal pins inside that stuck into my flesh with the slightest movement. The handcuffs were new and the smallest size possible. The handcuffs were so tightly closed that I couldn’t move at all.
I was already in bad shape physically. I couldn’t even walk or lift my arms, so I tried to move as little as possible and couldn't sleep. Several people tried to take the handcuffs off me. They put soapy water on my arm and pulled on the cuffs. With much effort, one came off. The next morning, I realized that my arm and hand were swelling, as the handcuff had cut into my flesh. I just said, without having thought about the dilemma, “This is not good. This cuff needs to come off.” I touched the handcuff lightly with my other hand, and it just fell off. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
When an inmate came to remove the handcuffs and shackles, he was shocked to see that the handcuffs had already fallen off. He muttered, “You could take that off? Amazing!” With strengthening by fellow practitioners and help from Master, I was released soon after.
My Tricycle Floated in the Air
By the winter of 2003, my arm had recovered a little and I could move my legs a little. Although I still wasn’t able to walk, I could ride a tricycle slowly. One time I traveled more than ten miles away to get some truth-clarifying materials. I was done rather late and it was already dark. After about two miles, the tricycle stopped. I got off and saw that the front tire was flat. It was dark and I was in the middle of nowhere. Where could I get it fixed? I couldn’t even go back because I couldn’t walk.
I suddenly realized that this situation was not right: I was doing the most righteous thing in the universe and nothing was allowed to interfere. I talked to the tricycle, “Old friend, we have been together all these years. You have put in much effort for Falun Dafa. You have accumulated mighty virtue. Don’t be used by the evil. When I reach consummation, you can come to my world. I hope you continue to display your abilities.” Then I got on the tricycle and headed on home. As I rode, the tricycle felt lighter than usual and it wasn't touching the ground. It floated in the air and I reached home quickly. When I looked at my watch, it had only been 20 minutes since I left the practitioner's home. Usually it takes around an hour. If I ignored the time between when I left the practitioner’s home to where the tricycle broke down, I had reached home in barely no time. No wonder it seemed so fast. I was so excited that I kept saying, “Master, Master.” No other words came to mind.
I have experienced many amazing things during these years. For example, when an electric appliance broke down at my home, it started working once I communicated with it. I don't need to have any appliance repaired.
My understanding is that any miracle can happen as long as one truly believes in Master and the Fa. With Master here, we have nothing to fear, we can do anything and accomplish anything, and we sure can follow Master to the end of the Fa-rectification.
(Clearwisdom.net) Master's Hong Yin III has been published on the Internet. I was so happy that I didn't wait for the book and immediately downloaded the whole thing, word by word, and put it into a binder. While I was copying the poems, I was trying to memorize them and enjoyed the paintings. Master's poems are very engaging and easy to learn. Within a few days, I was able to recite part of Hong Yin III, and at the same time, noticed a magical change.
Some time ago, I was easily distracted, felt drowsy, cranky and ineffective, as if there was a layer of film between the Fa and me, causing interference for my Fa study. Whenever I started to study the Fa, I felt sleepy within 20 minutes regardless of how hard I tried to stay awake. Frustrated, I had to put away my Dafa book and take a rest. However, I was unable to sleep. I felt helpless and unable to make a breakthrough. Who would have known: Since reciting Hong Yin III, my situation has changed. When I study now, I do not get cranky or sleepy, and the layer of film between the Fa and me has disappeared. Every word of the Fa enters my mind. One time when my family was out of town, I was able to do what I should: Recite the Fa, send righteous thoughts, do the Falun Gong exercises, and read three lectures of Zhuan Falun. I did not feel sleepy at all and my mental state was very good. I finally broke through the interference.
In the past, whenever I sent forth righteous thoughts, it was like routine business. Because I didn't have a calm mind, I was always thinking about human things and I was ineffective. So, I was afraid to send righteous thoughts and didn't do much about it, either. I used to think of myself as being big and tall when sending forth righteous thoughts. But I ended up being as small as an everyday person. One day while sending forth righteous thoughts, as soon as I held my right hand erect, Master's Fa immediately entered my mind,
“Looking down at the human world
Planet Earth looks like a tiny pellet”
(“Holding the Wheel,” Hong Yin III)
Immediately I felt that the earth looked very small in front of me and that my own body seemed extremely huge, with tremendous energy. It seemed that my third eye shot out the word “destroy” over and over, covering up the small planet earth in order to destroy the evil there. I was then thinking that I should use the divine super power that Dafa bestows to destroy evil elements in mainland China.
On another occasion, when sending forth righteous thoughts I felt that I had come to a mountain cave, where I saw an evil bird over a foot long flying in. I tried to beat it with a Fa instrument but was unsuccessful. Then I thought of having a net to catch it. Then, immediately, a white, transparent net fell on the bird and trapped it. But, instantly, the evil bird turned itself into 4 or 5 identical ones that flew out of the net. Again I sent out many Fa instruments to kill them.
Looking around the mountain cave, I realized that it must be a breeding ground for evil and that it must be demolished. Thinking that it would be great if there was a bulldozer, suddenly, a few bulldozers materialized to level off the mountain cave, turning it into a small slope. At that moment, again I thought of Master's Fa,
“The slopes coated with lush grass
The halls and pavilions glorious”
(“Entering a Sacred State of Mind,” Hong Yin III)
Through reciting Hong Yin III, great changes have taken place within me. How great the miraculous power of Dafa really is! Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
Fellow practitioners, kindly point out any errors in my understanding.

(Received from China) I opened up a small health clinic in my hometown. I tell patients the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution when I treat them. I say, "Falun Dafa is good," and advise them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in order to guarantee their safety. I have recently felt that more and more people have understood the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution when I've advised them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They resign quickly. This week the former president of a community hospital, a school principal, and a village secretary chose to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They clearly took responsibility for their own futures.
Mr. Qin is the former president of our town's community hospital. He is now retired. I brought up the issue of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations when he was getting an IV at my clinic. He said, “When I was traveling in Taiwan I noticed banners and display boards on the main streets with signs about withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Our tourist guide wouldn't let us look at them. As soon as you said that, I understood why. The CCP is truly bad. I withdraw.”
When I brought up the issue of resigning from the CCP with Mr. Liu, the principal of a school, he just laughed but didn't nod his head. Then I talked about the history of the CCP, particularly the Anti-Rightists Movement in 1957, suppressing the student democracy movement in 1989, and the present widespread corruption. We talked frankly and at length. In order to convince him, I mentioned that his wife was cured of her illnesses after withdrawing from the Party. He finally declared his position and said, "I withdraw."
One day in winter, it rained and there were continuous claps of thunder. These was an election in my village and I went early to vote. The village secretary was sitting alone. I talked to him about the celestial changes over the past few years and about the characters found inscribed on the 270 million-year-old “hidden words stone” found in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, that say, “The Chinese Communist Party will collapse.” We chatted about the widespread corruption among government officials. I gave examples of people being protected after withdrawing from the CCP. Afterwards the secretary said straightforwardly, “I can see that the CCP is getting worse and worse, and there is nothing left to save. I withdraw!”
A Non-Practitioner Helps to Distribute Truth Clarification Calendars
I have been cooperating with a fellow practitioner. I produce the “Falun Gong is good” truth clarification calendars and she distributes them. We cooperate every well. Every time she comes to pick up the calendars, she tells me touching stories.
One day, she gave a calendar to a gentleman in town. He said, “This is a great calendar! How much does it cost?” He reached into his pocket for money. The practitioner said that he didn't need to pay for it. The gentleman said, “I really can't take it for free.” The practitioner replied, “Don't worry, as long as you read the information inside the calendar, everything will be fine.” He gladly withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He then said again, “I will definitely read the information carefully!”
Anther day, the practitioner gave a calendar to a man who already knew the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution. The man said, “Can you give me more? I will help you distribute them.” The practitioner replied, “I can only give you one.” The man said, “There are a lot of people over there. You should distribute them there.” He then shouted at the people nearby, “Come quickly! There are free calendars! Come and look. The content is really good. It is about the facts of Falun Gong and the persecution.” He left after helping the practitioner distribute all of the calendars.
After Understanding the Truth and Withdrawing from the CCP, an Elderly Couple Is Spared Danger
Mr. Liu is over 70 years old and retired. Originally he was a middle-level official. Mr. Liu and his wife decided to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations after many local practitioners clarified the truth to him. He encouraged his whole family to withdraw from the CCP.
Mr. Liu took a stroll in one afternoon in the summer of 2011. At home, his wife was cooking lunch in a pressure cooker. He returned home a little after 10 a.m. He suddenly heard a banging sound upstairs when he arrived in front of the building where he lives. Then he saw the cover of the pressure cooker come flying out of their window. He didn't know what was going on. He rushed upstairs and saw that the walls and floor were covered with food when entered their apartment. His wife was standing there in a stupefied daze. After a while she came out of it and said, “You know, logically, the cover of the pressure cooker should have flown upwards, hit the ceiling, and then shot downwards. I would have been injured. Instead the cover flew horizontally. When the food flew out of it, it didn't burn me either. It's truly miraculous.”
Afterwards a Falun Gong practitioner told them, “Dafa blessed and protected you, and prevented a danger because you withdrew from the CCP. If you run into a dangerous situation, yell, 'Falun Dafa is good!'”
Mr. Liu took his wife for an excursion in their pedicab one day. The pedicab suddenly died when they were half the way up a winding road on the mountain. He quickly stepped on the brakes, but they failed. They slid backwards and were about to plummet into a ditch. It would have been disastrous if they had fallen in. His wife suddenly remembered what the practitioner had said and yelled, “Falun Dafa is good! Master save us!” The pedicab suddenly stopped. They found a large boulder blocking the rear wheel when they got out. They realized at once it was Master who had rescued them. They quickly said, “Thank you, Dafa Master! Thank you, Dafa Master!”
(Clearwisdom.net) A particular student of mine was accepted into a top university with excellent grades this year. The news shocked all of his teachers, classmates and parents. Even he was surprised. It was truly a miracle since no one expected him to get into college, let alone a top university.
A year ago, I received a phone call from the student's mother. Almost crying, she said, “My son has failed every class except English on his mid-term tests. During the parent-teacher interviews, all of his teachers said that he doesn't pay attention or take notes in class. He lacks basic knowledge, but is very interested in seeking answers to difficult questions. He can answer the most difficult questions on an exam, but gets the easy ones wrong. At home, he refuses to listen to any criticism and only plays video games. The college admission exam is near. What should I do? I am so worried.” I quietly let her finish and briefly comforted her.
After our conversation, I started thinking about the situation. The student only likes to answer difficult questions? He doesn't pay attention in class? He only wants to play video games at home? How can he answer the difficult questions without knowing the basic knowledge? How come every teacher says the same thing about him? This student must have something in his mind. He must be playing a mind game with the teachers, parents and even his classmates. He has lots of books on psychology at home, and is quite knowledgeable in the subject. I thought to myself that I needed to talk to him before I could judge him.
After thinking some more on it, I suddenly realized, “Am I solving the problem for this child and his parents? Isn’t it a test for me set by him and his parents? Our ancestors defined teachers as 'spreading the ways, teaching the knowledge and solving the puzzle.' Did I achieve this? How can I solve the problem simply by examining others?”
I might have achieved “spreading the way and solving the puzzle,” but I had never clarified the truth and told them, “Falun Dafa is good. Zhen-Shan-Ren is good!” and “Heaven will eliminate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).” I then decided to visit their home and brought a copy of a Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD.
As I expected, this student and his parents had been waiting for the truth. After listening to me, the student's mother said, “As soon as I heard the three words 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,' I realized this was wonderful. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Falun Dafa is good!” I was truly happy for them. They also withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
The student is very smart, handsome, and eager to learn. He can also speak fluent English and plays basketball very well. Then why doesn't he get good grades?
It was almost the Chinese New Year and I went to visit the student again. As tradition, every family posts a red couplet on their door as part of the celebration. I said to his mother, “Let me give you this couplet. It will bring you good luck because your son will take the college entrance exam this year.” Surprisingly, she said that she wouldn't post a couplet this year because a fortuneteller has told her not to. I told her, “This couplet is not an ordinary one. It was done by a practitioner. Take a good look and post it only if you like it. It is joyful and will bring you good luck.”
She looked at the couplet and saw that every character was golden and shiny. She immediately took it and respectfully posted it up on both sides of the door.
Since then, she has been telling me, “My son loves to study now. He even recites English when he is cleaning. I don’t need to worry about him any more. His grades have also improved considerably.” I was happy to hear of the student's positive changes.
Before an official acceptance letter arrived, the student's parents already knew that he had gotten accepted into a university. They excitedly invited me over for dinner. I wanted to share their joy and accepted their invitation. Before I got to their home, the student anxiously called me several times to make sure I would be there. When I arrived, he smiled and asked, “What do you want to eat?” I said, “Order your favorite food. I can eat anything. This celebration is for you.”
While we were eating, his mother told me how everything went smoothly during the exam. The student has a habit of taking a nap during lunch time every day. Otherwise, he has a difficult time keeping his eyes open in the afternoon. On the first day of the exam, his mother thought to herself, “If only he could have a place to take a nap.” Then out of the blue, one of her old classmates who had not contacted her for many years called her and offered a place for her son to nap during lunch break. As a result, during the several days of exams, he was able to get a good rest and performed very well in the afternoon.
She also told me another story. When they went to Shenyang City for the Spoken English exam, they couldn't find the location because they were new to the city. Getting worried that they would be late for the exam, a car suddenly stopped next to them. A girl rolled down the car window and asked, “Are you going to the Spoken English exam?” After they told them that they were, she said, “Get in my car. I am also going to the exam.”
My student's mother said to me, “Teacher, don’t you think he is really lucky? Everything went so smoothly as if Gods are watching over him!” I smiled and thought to myself, “You have chosen your own bright path. Since you believe 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good' and 'Falun Dafa is good,' of course you are being watched over by Gods.”
(Clearwisdom.net) I am 59 years old. I started to practice Falun Gong in 2008. Before I started to practice, I suffered from many medical conditions, including hypertension, cervical vertebra hyperplasia, hearing loss, gynecological diseases, abdominal distension and constipation. What I endured was beyond words. I went to every single hospital in Beijing and spent about 6,000 yuan on medical treatments, but it was in vain. I took a large amount of both Chinese and Western medicines, which caused my face to become greenish, while my eyelids were constantly swollen and I had no energy. I lay in bed all day and was in terrible pain.
At the moment when I was on the verge of death, one of my neighbors with whom I grew up came to see me. She introduced Falun Gong to me and told me about her experience with the practice: “Falun Gong is a Buddha Fa, teaching people to be good. At the same time, it has a magical effect in healing illnesses and keeping one's body strong and fit. Many people who suffered incurable diseases became healthy after practicing Falun Gong. Do not believe the defaming propaganda on TV. Those are all false statements. You see, I had many illnesses before. Now all my illnesses have gone. Look at how vigorous I am now …!” She shed tears as she was talking. I felt that what she said was true. She had a ruddy complexion, and she had clearly gained weight and looked young. I was touched by her words. I thought that I should give Falun Gong a try.
My neighbor gave me a copy of {{Zhuan Falun} and I was so grateful. However, I could not read. I was only able to listen to Master's lectures by using an MP3 player. Later on, I asked my daughter to read Zhuan Falun to me. I felt what Master said is so good and that all of his words were meant to teach us to be good people. Sometimes, I could not help but to shed tears when I listened.
When I listened to the fifth lecture, Master started to purify my body. During this period, I felt cold and painful all over and my head and teeth ached. I was spitting up yellowish phlegm and was unable to get out of bed for six days. My son, who is a doctor, was very worried and wanted to give me an intravenous infusion. I firmly refused. I believed in Master and Dafa. I said to my son: “I am fine. Master will protect me. Don't worry.” Fortunately, my daughter supported me, and gradually I became better. I was able to eat a bit and my energy improved more each day. My family was amazed that I did not take any medication, yet my health was completely restored from such a bad state. They all witnessed Dafa's amazing healing ability.
Later on, my neighbor came to help me study the Fa every day. We took turns, reading paragraph by paragraph. I copied down the words that I did not know and then asked my husband to teach them to me. Sometimes my husband, who worked as a laborer, went out of town for jobs, so I would ask my two grandsons. Gradually, I learned to read Zhuan Falun by myself. Now I can read the book and Master's lectures on my own.
Now I do not have any medical conditions and have truly experienced how wonderful it is to be completely free of illness. I sincerely thank Master and Dafa. It is Falun Dafa that gave me a second life. I can do housework and cook for my grandsons. Sometimes, I go out to clarify the truth and save people. The doctors who treated me were also amazed by my full recovery and felt that it was a miracle. I told them, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I advised them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. They all believed that Dafa was good.
I have often wondered how the CCP could persecute such a good practice, which can only help people and does absolutely no harm. I was so seriously ill and Falun Gong cured me. The hospitals were unable to help me, but after I started to practice Falun Gong, I was totally healthy. Why does the CCP not allow people to practice? Why does the CCP persecute Falun Gong? It is clear to me who is good and who is evil.

Former Police Officer Given a New Life
In 2010, a fellow practitioner asked me at group Fa study to speak to her husband, who was hospitalized because of liver cancer. This was the second time he had been hospitalized at the 301 Hospital and he had already spent more than 200,000 yuan in medical costs. The prognosis was devastating, as the doctor told him that he would die before October 2010.
He was a kind and righteous man that had been a former police officer. His job put him in touch with many imprisoned practitioners and he had never hesitated to help in any way he could. I was held in a prison in 2009 because I refused to renounce Falun Dafa. That was when I got to know him pretty well.
The next day, shortly after 8 a.m., I bought some fruit and visited my fellow practitioner's husband. It was a sad scene. He was in bed and looked very ill. His lips were pale. He tried to force a smile when he saw me. Compassion arose in me spontaneously. After a brief greeting I spoke to him directly about Dafa. He listened attentively and nodded his head every so often.
I said, “You are a good man who deserves to learn Falun Dafa. This illness could be a way to introduce you to it. This is an important moment in your life. Many of us have waited over many lifetimes to have the opportunity to learn Dafa.” The last sentence moved him. I could see his eyes sparkle, indicating a desire to find his way home.
That day he began a new life. He participated in group study and got up at 3:55 a.m. to do the five exercises. Now, he is strong and energetic. He said with gratitude in his voice, “Teacher has saved me and given me a new life. I should follow Teacher's guidance as closely as possible from now on.”
The Flower Bud We Put on a Poster With the Words, “Falun Dafa is Good,” Bloomed.
Several years ago my elder sister began her cultivation in Dafa. She advised me to do the same, but I was biased because of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda. I thought she was just being superstitious.
However, a person cannot avoid being sick. I developed diabetes. All kinds of treatments were tried, but there was no improvement. Finally, I had to stop working. I was hurting in mind and body.
That was the time when I recalled what my sister had told me. I decided that any chance to be free of illness would be better than living in pain. I visited my sister, and she was overjoyed that I wanted to cultivate. She showed me how to do the exercises and what books to read. Before long I could tell that Teacher was guiding me. I recovered very quickly. The feeling of being without illness is truly great.
Although I have cultivated only for a short time, Teacher allowed me to see a miracle. During the autumn festival this year the bud that we had attached to our poster, “Falun Dafa Is Good” bloomed. I called my sister and asked her to come see it. I called other fellow practitioners too. It turned out that they, too, had similar experiences. I thought this must be an encouragement from Teacher, indicating that all Dafa practitioners have made a significant advancement in cultivation.
Thank you, revered Teacher, for providing us with salvation and thank you, fellow practitioners, for your support.

Doctor: “How Did the Tumor Disappear?”
My sister is 76 years old and lives in a village in Hubei Province. Last winter her throat started to hurt and she could not swallow properly. Six months later, she was diagnosed with throat cancer. I told her to frequently recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and that she would get better.
I wanted my sister to live with me for a while so that I could tell her more about Falun Gong and teach her the exercises. Her children did not feel comfortable with this and took her to a local hospital to receive chemotherapy. A week later, I went home to see her and brought her Teacher Li's audio lectures and several copies of some Falun Dafa informational materials. I told her to listen to Teacher's lectures.
Two days later, my sister was able to eat and was more energetic. Two weeks later, after she finished all of Teacher's lectures, her children took her to the local hospital again to have an examination. The doctor compared her old and new x-rays and was stunned, “How did the tumor she had six months ago disappear?”
Her two sons and daughter were ecstatic. They said that Falun Dafa had a miraculous power and if they had known about it earlier, they would not have let my sister undergo chemotherapy. They all got copies of the Falun Dafa books and understood the truth about the practice.
Elderly Woman's Lung Cancer Cured After Reciting “Falun Dafa Is Good”
Xiong Aiqin is an 86-year-old woman who lives in the mountains of southern Fujian Province. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in May of 2011. The doctor told her family that it was incurable, especially with her advanced age, and that there was not much a hospital could do for her.
One of Ms. Xiong's relatives who practiced Falun Gong visited her in the hospital and told her that if she sincerely recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” Teacher Li would save her. The practitioner also gave Ms. Xiong a Falun Dafa amulet.(1) Ms. Xiong believed the practitioner and did what he said. Her condition began improving day by day.
Ten days later she had another CT scan. The doctors were in disbelief, “How is it possible to recover from such an illness in such a short time? It is a miracle.”
Two weeks later, Ms. Xiong was discharged from the hospital. She was perfectly healthy and could take care of herself. She has watched the video of Shen Yun Performing Arts, and tells people she comes across, “Falun Dafa's Teacher saved me and gave me a second life.” Her family was very grateful to Teacher Li and they no longer believed the Chinese Communist regime's slanderous lies about Falun Gong which they had seen on television.
Reciting “Falun Dafa Is Good” Resolves Danger
In September 2009, I bought six acres worth of corn stalks from a farm seven miles from home. I bundled the stalks and was about to ship it home. I hired an elderly gentleman named Mr. Shunfu and planned to use his cart to ship the corn. Mr. Shunfu was in his 60's and moved very fast. He was eager to get things done and did not rest at all. I had to work fast to keep up with him.
On our way home with our first cart of corn stalks, we passed under a bridge. Our cart got stuck in the portal. When the horse tried to pull the cart out, the shaft hit Mr. Shunfu. He yelled and fell down to the ground. I asked if he was alright but he did not answer. I knew something was wrong and went over to see him. His head was down and his face was pale.
I quickly sat next to him and told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good” so he could stay safe. He shook his head slowly and said that would not work. I was worried and I sincerely asked him, “Quick! As long as you are sincere, reciting the words will keep you safe. It will work.”
He thought for a little while and suddenly stood up and got on the cart shouting, “Yes, I will recite Falun Dafa is good!” His pain was gone immediately. I told him not to worry about fixing the cart and that he should get his lunch. He refused and got the cart ready and brought the corn stalks home. When we got home, I told him the facts of Falun Dafa and the persecution. I offered to help him quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, and he happily agreed. Afterwards, I told him that I was going to take the afternoon off and he could rest at home. He said that he was fine and went back to work.
Note: (1) Amulet – In China, practitioners sometimes clarify the truth by giving people something small to wear or cherish, bearing a few words reminding them of the goodness of Dafa.
