(Minghui.org) I had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my colon on May 31, 2012. After the surgery, a friend, who practices Falun Gong, came to see me. She told me and my family about Falun Gong, how it is a traditional mind/body meditation practice that is being brutally persecuted by the Chinese government. We believed her, but I didn't think of practicing Falun Gong myself.

Six months later, the tumor came back. I was hospitalized for a month, and the disease only worsened. The doctor said that my spine had become hollow and that the slightest impact could break my back. They injected acrylic cement into my spine to hold my bones together.

After the injection, I was hospitalized for another nine months. The injection somehow caused an infection in my spine. They applied laser therapy to treat the infection, but the therapy burned my stomach and digestion system. I couldn't swallow anything.

With my savings and body depleted, I decided to go home no matter what. The doctor told my husband that they expected me to live about three months.

I got home on December 1, 2014. Four friends came to see me. One of them was the one who'd told me about Falun Gong earlier. While talking to them, I kept vomiting (during this time, I vomited 24/7). At lunch, I only had a few sips of soup, and each sip brought tremendous pain.

After lunch, three of my friends left, but the Falun Gong practitioner stayed at my house for a night. She played the audio recording of Master Li Hongzhi's (the founder of Falun Gong) lectures for me. She asked me to focus and listen carefully.

The next day, my friend went home and left the audio recording with me. That night, I listened to the lectures again until I fell asleep. The next morning, I found myself not vomiting, and full of energy. I was able to move around like a healthy person. Then I tried to eat something, and was thrilled to discover that swallowing didn't cause any pain. I was amazed and delighted!

On December 7, another group of friends came to see me. With great appreciation towards Master Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong, I told them about the miracle that had happened to me. I was able to eat meat, and also to do normal housework. They were amazed too. They could hardly believe that a dying person had come back to life overnight after listening to Master Li's lectures.

All of these friends are well educated, and leaders in the pharmaceutical industry in our province. One of them said something bad about Falun Gong. Obviously, she was repeating something she'd heard from the government propaganda. But another friend responded right away, “The truth is right in front of us. Falun Gong is obviously beneficial.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Master Li again for renewing my life. I myself also have started practicing Falun Gong.
