(Minghui.org) I suffered uremia in 1997, which gradually worsened despite various forms of treatment. My body became swollen everywhere, and it was difficult to move my feet or put on shoes. My swollen kidneys had to be wrapped and hung by cloth. My swollen face reduced my vision to a line, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I couldn't sit or lie down except in one position, and I had to evacuate with the help of medicine. I really could not find any words to express my sorrow. I sought doctors and medication everywhere to no avail. In one word, I was dying.

I was sent to Shenyang Hospital, which specialized in uremia. During treatment, I suffered an arterial embolism. A month of treatment by specialists did not improve my condition. Later, my relatives introduced me to Liaoning Rehabilitation Center for treatment from Doctor Xue, a famous kidney specialist. I spent several months being kept alive by expensive medicine, yet my illness worsened.

I returned to Fushun in May 1997 and stayed in my sister's home. The next morning, my sister and my brother-in-law took me for a walk around Tianfeng Square. I heard beautiful music and saw many people doing something but was not sure what it was. My brother-in-law said they were doing exercises. When I said I wanted to do the exercises, he replied, “How can you do exercises since you are so sick? So do it!” The group was practicing the second exercise at the time, and I joined in. After twenty minutes, I suddenly sat on the ground. Others wanted to pull me up, but I didn't budge. A young man came over and asked me, “What's wrong? Are you sick? You'll be fine. My Teacher is purifying your body. You will be better very soon.” At that moment, I felt something under my bottom. Then, I could stand up by myself, something I could not do before. I felt pain in my stomach and hurried back to the bathroom in my sister's home, where I evacuated liquid for more than twenty minutes. My worried sister knocked on the door to check if I was okay. I replied weakly, “Don't worry, I'm fine!” After a while, I slowly got up and left the bathroom.

Several minutes later, I felt so relaxed! I was perplexed and asked what kind of medicine I had. My sister said, “You didn't take any medicine. You said you were dying and the medicines would be useless, so you threw them out.” Everyone around me stood in awe and wonder. I remembered the young man saying that someone had purified my body. I just raised my arms to practice for a little while and it worked? Actually, I now know that because I wanted to practice Falun Dafa, Teacher helped to get rid of my illness. Because I hadn't been able to eat for a while, I hungrily grabbed some pork and started eating. People visiting my sister's family at the time saw me and exclaimed, “It's a miracle! She was dying, and all of a sudden she looks recovered and can eat food now. Isn't she recovered?” When I returned to Tianfeng Square the next morning, a practitioner around forty told me, “That's Falun Gong. Falun Gong can help people eliminate illnesses. If you read Zhuan Falun, you will totally understand why.”

I read Zhuan Falun that night. It was magical; I saw every word shining like a light bulb and rotating. Astonished, I asked other people to take a look, but they didn't see anything and thought my vision was going bad due to my age. I replied, “No, it shouldn't be. It is really like that.” The third day, I went to Tianfeng Square again and told other practitioners my experience. They said, “You have a predestined relationship with Falun Gong. Study diligently! Teacher is already taking care of you!” When I asked them to give me a Falun, the practitioners all laughed. One said, “We can't do that. Only Teacher can do that. Teacher will help you, and you need to study Zhuan Falun so you will know.“ They gave me a set of recorded exercise music and a Falun emblem. From that day on, I firmly believed in Dafa and studied Zhuan Falun diligently. Two days later, I learned the sitting exercise. I truly began cultivating in Dafa and did my best to make sure my daily activities conformed to the principle of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance”, to consider others first, and to be a good person wherever I went. I really appreciate my fortune of finding such a high-level cultivation practice.

On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin led the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to begin persecuting Falun Gong. Their propaganda and slander against Dafa caused many predestined people to lose their opportunity to practice and benefit from Dafa.

In the turbulent days, my faith in Dafa never wavered. I clarified the facts about Dafa to the public, and in the following thirteen years I have not needed any medicine, yet my body is very healthy and energetic. It was Teacher who gave me a second life! I sincerely thank Teacher for his benevolent grace!
