(Minghui.org) Both my sons had potentially fatal accidents. One son was run over by a dump truck and the other slammed into a motor tricycle. We know that each time, Falun Dafa’s founder, Master Li, protected them. During this grand celebration of Falun Dafa Day, our family wants everyone to know how amazing Falun Dafa is. Our entire family expresses our sincere gratitude to Master and Dafa for saving us!
Once Tragic Family Becomes the Envy of the Village
I’m 66 years old. Before I began practicing Falun Dafa I suffered from all kinds of illnesses. I was in my 30’s back then. Doctors said there was no treatment available, and the best I could do was hope that my illnesses would not get worse. My husband was also quite sick. He suffered from chronic ulcerative colitis, and he was later diagnosed with severe schizophrenia.
The entire village knew our family was plagued by illness and troubles.
In January 1995, I started practicing Falun Dafa. I strictly followed Falun Dafa’s principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance) in everything I did, and my health issues were resolved. All my illnesses disappeared without any treatment or medicine. Seeing my significant changes, my husband also started to practicing Falun Dafa. Since he only attended school for one year, he was nearly illiterate. He overcame every obstacle, and joined others in reading the Fa. Soon, all his illnesses were gone as well.
Our life has continuously improved. Throughout the 20-plus years of our practicing Falun Dafa, we have never taken a single pill, and our once tragic family became the envy of the village.
Steadfast Belief in Dafa Saves My Younger Son’s Legs
On November 20, 1997, when my younger son was still a child, he went to pick up some scrap iron with the adults in a field where dump trucks were unloading waste. When a dump truck pulled in, my son hurriedly climbed on before it came to a full stop. He fell off and the truck rolled over his legs. I rushed to the field. My son was shaking and couldn’t move. Despite the potential disaster, I had no fear. I told him, “Don’t be afraid. Our family practices Falun Dafa. We’re protected by Master. You haven’t read the Fa, but you have listened to Master’s Fa lectures. You remember that Master said an elderly lady was hit by a car, but she did not ask the driver for compensation. She said she was fine and got up by herself. She was not injured. We will do the same thing and you will be fine.” My son nodded in agreement.
When the leader of the truck driver’s company came, I told him, “We don’t want any money. Just take the child to the hospital with your car. You won’t be held responsible for anything.” He agreed immediately.
During the examination in the hospital, my son’s right leg below the knee swelled. It also turned dark purple. The flesh below his left ankle was torn open, and blood and yellowish fluid oozed out. My son asked the doctor, “What will happen?” The doctor said, “Amputation.” My son screamed and began weeping. I bent down and said to him in a low voice, “Don’t listen to the doctor. His words don’t count. We listen to Master.” My son immediately stopped crying.
A short while later, the X-ray came back. The doctor told us, “The bones are fine.” We smiled. The doctor showed the X-rays to other doctors, who marveled and said it was a miracle. They all wondered how this could be possible when such a heavy truck rolled over my son’s leg and foot. My son was released from the hospital in five days. It cost us only 260 yuan.
Two weeks later, he was able to ride a bicycle, and go out and play.
Dafa Brings My Older Son Back to Life
At noon on August 9, 2015, my uncle’s son borrowed our diesel tricycle to bring the corn stalks from the fields to his home. He’d just left our home when my older son, who was riding a motorcycle, slammed into the tricycle head on. My uncle’s son immediately phoned my younger son, who rushed over. My husband hurried over by scooter. I soon arrived at the scene.
The front of my son’s motorcycle was smashed into pieces. The left front of the tricycle was damaged. The bag of flour my older son bought was broken open and flour was strewn across the road. My son had been thrown several feet away and was lying in the nearby field. One of his shoes was hanging from his foot, the other shoe lay on the side of the road. A crowd of people gathered, but no one touched him.
I walked towards him and squatted down. I touched his head. His eyes were closed and he did not respond. There was a cut under his chin, about 3/8 of an inch long. His face was rapidly swelling and his skin felt hot. I calmly said into his ear, “If you can hear me, just think out loud in your heart: Falun Dafa is good; Zhen-Shan-Ren is good. Only Master can save you!” I also recited three times: “When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn the tide.” (“The Master-Disciple Bond,” Hong Yin Volume II)
Right then, I saw my son’s cheek bulge. He exhaled and suddenly regained consciousness.
Seeing him regain consciousness, the crowd gradually left. My husband squatted down, and said, “Only Master can save you. Please beg Master for help.” I smiled and said to our son, “Look, your dad is so concerned about you.” He nodded in answer. I then said, “Don’t be afraid. We practice Falun Dafa and have Master’s protection. Nothing is going to happen. Your brother’s legs were rolled over by a truck, but he was fine because we believe in Master and believe in Dafa. You will be fine. You’ve got to hold onto this one thought: You have Master’s protection, and nothing is going to happen to you!”
When we took him to the hospital, the doctors gave him a CAT scan. It turned out there was no damage. He stayed in the hospital for observation, but there were no injuries. His face and body were bruised. On the sixth day, he checked out of the hospital.
He recovered very quickly. In a little over a month, he was able to do farm work. Two months later he was riding a motorcycle again. That winter, he drove his wife on the back of his motorcycle to and from work in the deep snow.
After these two accidents I deeply reflected on what happened. When I recalled the scenes, my tears flowed. From the depths of my being I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to Master for saving both of my sons, for saving our entire family!
Words cannot describe the gratitude our family and I have for Master’s grace. I hope this article can express even a tiny bit of our heartfelt thanks! I will do well the three things Master has asked us to do, live up to Master’s expectations, and try to be worthy of His salvation and be worthy of the title of Dafa disciple. Thank you, Master!
