(Minghui.org) Since the persecution of Falun Gong (Falun Dafa) began in 1999, the Chinese regime has maintained a vicious propaganda campaign to vilify Falun Gong. Many Chinese citizens who would have ordinarily stood up against the brutal persecution have been deceived by the constant onslaught of lies.
In the face of such deception and hate-mongering, Falun Gong practitioners in China have persevered in informing people of the facts – telling people of the goodness of Falun Gong and debunking the lies and slander of the Chinese Communist regime.
As these practitioners have risked their personal safety to awaken the conscience of the Chinese people, they have experienced and witnessed miracles and protection from danger. In addition, many who have shown support for Falun Gong have had similar experiences, strengthening their belief in the goodness and power of Falun Gong.
The following are stories of such occurrences as reported by Falun Gong practitioners in Chongqing, one of the four direct-controlled municipalities in China.
Recovered from Critical Illnesses
Ms. Li Hongfang, a 91-year-old woman in the Beibei District, became blind in 2004 and was unable to take care of herself. After hearing the facts about Falun Gong, she and her siblings, as well as their children, all quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in September 2006. She regained her eyesight shortly after that in the spring of 2007.
Ms. Yang Suhua, a lady in her 60s, lives in the Changshou District. She was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus, and couldn't find an effective cure. The situation deteriorated a year later. She could only drink a little water, and was unable to eat. The doctor told her family to prepare for her funeral.
After a practitioner explained the facts about Falun Gong to her, she followed the practitioner's advice to wholeheartedly recite “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Within two month she was able to walk again; soon she could walk more than five miles to attend local festivals. Within four months, Ms. Yang’s cancer disappeared. She was even able to do some household chores.
Mr. Luo had both legs broken in a car accident in 2007. He was 76 years old then. He couldn't walk after being hospitalized for over six months and was confined to a wheelchair. When a practitioner told him and his daughter about Falun Gong, Mr. Luo agreed with what she said. He also recited “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Several days later, he was able to walk with the aid of two canes. Within another week, he could walk freely without any assistance.
One day, practitioner Hui met a mute woman. Hui talked to her about Falun Gong and she understood the facts and nodded in agreement. When Hui asked her to quit the CCP and it affiliated organizations, the woman agreed. Upon leaving, Hui told her to recite “Falun Dafa is good.”
After Hui walked about 10 or 20 yards away, however, she heard that person call out, “Falun Dafa is good!” She was shocked and turned around—the mute woman was able to speak. They hugged each other in tears.
Recovered from Disability
Mr. He Keping, a practitioner in Wanzhou District, was arrested in 2002 for passing out Falun Gong materials. He was subsequently severely tortured at the Shahe Detention Center. As a result, Mr. He was paralyzed from the waist down.
Officials nonetheless attempted to send him to a labor camp, but he wasn't admitted due to his poor health. Mr. He continued doing exercises upon his release, and he soon recovered. Other village residents were amazed by his quick recovery and started to question the Party's negative propaganda.
Yuzhong District practitioner Ms. Li Xiuying was arrested in January 2002 and sentenced to four years in prison. At the Yongchuan Women's Prison, she was once in critical condition, bedridden due to torture.
Ms. Li Xiuying immediately resumed the exercises after she was released in August 2004. Gradually, she was able to stand on her own and do the Falun Gong exercises. Upon witnessing her recovery, her neighbors were astonished. As one said, “It is a Falun Gong miracle that she survived!”
Saved from Accidents
A chauffeur for a private firm followed his mother's advice to recite “Falun Dafa is good,” especially in moments of danger.
One day, the car he was driving had a head-on collision with a large truck. The car flipped several times and was totaled. Everyone who saw the scene thought the driver must be dead, or at least severely injured.
To their surprise, they saw him climbing out from under the car, brushing off broken glass from his face with his sleeves, and looking as if nothing had happened. When asked how he could survive such a major accident with no injury, the driver said, “I always carry a small card with ‘Falun Dafa is good’ written on it. I also called out this phrase when the accident happened.”
One resident in Nanchuan District was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 2006. He was unable to speak and his hearing was also affected. After learning the facts of Falun Gong, he also started to practice and his illnesses soon disappeared. One day in December 2010, when he was walking near his home, a truck ran into him, throwing him a distance of about eight yards.
The driver and pedestrians thought he must be near death, and sent him to the emergency room. Other than a scratch on his forehead, he was just fine, with no wounds or internal injury. The front bumper on the truck was bent, however. When a police officer asked him how he could have survived the accident, he replied, “I am a Falun Gong practitioner. My Teacher protected me.”
Mr. Yu, 87 years old, lives in a small village in the Changshou District. As he was out walking one raining day in 2006, a truck struck him and threw him several yards. His eyeglasses and umbrella were broken, but he was unhurt. The driver offered 500 yuan for any potential damage, but Mr. Yu said that he was alright and didn't accept any money.
A practitioner in the Wanzhou District planted some corn. But mice ate the crops when they were one yard high. It was too late to replant the crops. What could she do?
One day while reading Zhuan Falun, this practitioner noticed the words, “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” She thus removed the stalks, and replanted the tips of the corn plants. New crops soon started to grow and she ended up reaping a large harvest.
Miracles during Natural Disasters
The northern area of Chonqing was flooded on September 4, 2004. Overflow from the Bianshui River covered bridges and crops along the banks. However, a bridge in the lower stream area mysteriously wasn't flooded. It had these words written on it: “Falun Dafa is good.”
A drought hit the southwestern region in 2011. The groundwater used for tap water in many areas dried up, and water became very scarce. However, the tap at a Falun Gong practitioner’s home ran as normal. Other village residents had to go to her place to get water.
Miracles from Watching Shen Yun
In Chinese traditional characters, the word “medicine” is written with the character “music” with an “herb” component. The arts are considered to have tremendous healing power. Practitioners in Chongqing have witnessed cases in which people recovered from their illnesses after watching Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs.
A woman in Tongliang Township obtained a Shen Yun DVD in 2009. Upon watching the DVD, her multiple chronic diseases disappeared.
Lian Xiu, a 76-year-old woman, visited Chongqing seeking a cure for her headaches. Her niece, a Falun Gong practitioner, received her. The niece told Ms. Lian to remember “Falun Dafa is good” and showed her the Shen Yun DVD. Lian Xiu really liked the performance and watched it three times in a row. Her headaches then disappeared. She didn't have to go to a hospital anymore. She asked for a copy of the DVD before leaving Chongqing and told her niece: “Shen Yun is so miraculous! I have to show it to all my fellow villagers.”
A Chongqing citizen was enjoying a holiday feast during the Chinese New Year of 2008, when he swallowed a fish bone. The checkup at the hospital couldn't locate the bone, but he had a headache and his throat was in great pain. The pain reduced significantly after he finished watching the first program of Shen Yun. Upon watching the entire DVD, the pain in his throat and headache completely disappeared.
