(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong in May of 2011. A year ago, my doctor gave me a death sentence. I was in a lot of pain and desperate. At that critical moment, I entered the gate of cultivation. Since then, my life has taken a sharp turn for the better.
Because many of my family members are practitioners, I first learned about Falun Gong in 1997. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time and held a partial understanding that Falun Gong practice was merely to improve one's health and morality. After that I became immersed, little by little, in the current of ordinary human society and Communist Party culture. I was part of the torrent rushing downstream, yet I deemed myself a good person. People in my family have benefited a lot from practicing Falun Gong. They have not needed a single pill in over 10 years, and they are compassionate and kind to everyone around them. After the persecution started, they stayed steadfast in their belief. All this had a profound influence on me and left a deep impression.
Early this year I felt sick and felt worse day by day. I was often bloated and vomited a lot. I went to quite a few big hospitals for treatment, but my symptoms kept getting worse. Finally, in mid-April, a malignancy was found in my small intestine, which required surgery. The doctor suggested that I have treatment right away.
I couldn't eat or drink normally and had to follow a liquid diet. My weight dropped from over 70 kg down to a little over 50 kg. My family came to the hospital to care for me and they told me to recite “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I followed their suggestion every moment I could. During the surgery, I could hear part of what the doctor said and could feel him looking around inside me, although I was totally anesthetized. From what I heard, they found colon cancer.
The surgery took a little over an hour. When I woke up, I saw tears in my family's eyes and I cried, too. I knew I was still so young and I had such a strong will to live. I thought about my parents, older sister, wife, and kids. I learned later that my cancer was late stage and had metastasized throughout my entire abdominal cavity. I had at most six months to live. My dad hoped that chemotherapy would help, but the doctor said that it was not necessary at all. My dad was very upset at hearing the bad news. He told me he needed some rest and he would come back later, and then he left. My wife and others turned around and cried.
In order to delay my death by even one day, those in my family who did not practice Falun Gong wanted me to get chemotherapy. However, those who were practitioners suggested that I start practicing Falun Gong for ultimate salvation.
At night when I was in pain, I listened to the Dafa music Pudu and Jishi. I also recited sincerely “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I felt calmer in my heart and felt a special sense of relief. Amazingly, I got out of bed and walked around three days later. I checked out of the hospital on the seventh day.
A couple of weeks after I being at home, I started studying the Fa. I did not start the exercises right away as I still felt tired. After reading Zhuan Falun for a few hours, I felt nauseated and vomited if I tried to take the anti-cancer drug. I realized that it was Teacher encouraging me and giving me hints. I immediately stopped taking the drugs and threw them out. I have not had any medication since. The Falun Gong practitioners in my family often came to see me and encouraged me to advance diligently in my practice.
In the short period of four months, the cancer disappeared and my weight returned to normal.
I now study the Fa and do the exercises on a daily basis. With fellow practitioners' encouragement, I have been posting stickers to clarify the truth and persuading people to quite the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).
Teacher let me see the rotating Falun in other dimensions, which made me become even more steadfast in walking my own path of cultivation. Thank you, my great and benevolent Teacher.
