(Minghui.org) I was sickly from the time I was young, with low energy levels and poor concentration. My mother had a difficult time bringing me up, and I improved only slightly as I grew older. After my son was born, I had gynecological problems, and my health declined. I was cold from the waist down and hot from the waist up by about 15 degrees Celsius. From my stomach to my lower abdomen was always cold to the touch, and I had non-stop loose bowels for two to three months every year. I wore wool pants in the summer and felt cold even when covered by a thick blanket. I needed sleeping pills and took more medication than food. I ended-up being hospitalized every year, but I did not get better and felt that I would be better off dead.
One year when I was sick, my husband was studying overseas, and my parents were living far away from me. I had to pick-up my child and prepare meals daily, so I could not afford to go to the hospital. My boss asked his wife to visit me one day in June. She saw that I was covered with a thick blanket and felt sorry for me.
At that time I had the same dream over and over. In the dream I was drifting alone at sea and didn't know where I came from or where I was going.
In the eyes of others, my husband had a successful career and was concerned and loving. My son was intelligent and healthy. I had a happy family but did not feel that I had found the meaning of life.
In 1993, my mother and sister-in-law started practicing Falun Gong. They urged me to begin practicing, but at the time, I thought that perhaps it wasn't the time for me. I hesitated and told them, “You practice first. I will make up my mind after I meet Master.”
In April 1994, my sister-in-law's sisters attended the lecture series held by Master Li in Hefei City. When I went back to my hometown, they were filled with emotion as they told me about Falun Dafa and the miraculous sights they witnessed while attending the lectures. There was a person with stomach cancer who attended the lectures with them. On the second day of the class, while Master was cleansing everyone’s body, she started to vomit a lot of blood. One liver cancer patient had blood in his stools. After vomiting and passing blood in their stools, they both recovered from their illnesses. My sister in law said, “Sister, you can be saved!”
I thus went with my aunt to watch the Falun Gong video lectures. The videos showed Master Li teaching the Fa principles as well a demonstrating the exercise movements. My aunt followed the movements as she watched. As I watched, I felt a warm current in my abdomen (in the past my lower abdomen had felt like a cold water bag). I focused my attention on the rest of the video. I then asked my mother to bring me a copy of Falun Gong to read.
I flipped open the book and read,
“All cultivators of Falun Gong must make cultivation of character their top priority and regard character as the key to developing gong.” (Falun Gong, Chapter Three)
I suddenly felt enlightened and very emotional. I had finally found my Master!
I read on eagerly and fell asleep as I read. In my dreams, I saw a Falun spinning continuously in my celestial eye. There were bright lights in seven colors. From then on, the questions about life that I had not understood were all resolved, and my body and soul were set free. I never again had the dream that had haunted me for so many years.
I attended the lecture series held by Master in Zhengzhou City in June 1994. Upon my return, I experienced a drastic change in my health. In the past I used to hide under thick blankets in the summer, but that July I went swimming with my family. I saw a doctor that used to treat me and told him about the changes in my health. My friends also asked me about the miraculous qigong exercise I started practicing. I quickly showed them the book. They were witnesses to the changes in me and the miraculous wonders of Dafa. In this way, Falun Dafa started to spread quickly in my area.
