(Minghui.org) I was incarcerated for one year in a labor camp in 2004 because I refused to give up practicing Falun Gong. During my imprisonment, I was tortured, both physically and psychologically. 

I was beaten with a wooden paddle, and was once made to stand for 14 days without sleep. I had to look at books and listen to media that slandered Falun Gong every day.

My health had deteriorated by the time I was released. I could not stand up straight, and I was weak and pale. I was constantly thirsty and my heart pounded. My whole body was swollen and my skin had a waxy look.

My mother came over for a couple of weeks to cook for me, and my sister tried to convince me to go to a hospital. Before I opened my mouth, my nine-year-old daughter, who was sitting by my side, touched my arm and whispered, “Are you going?” 

I did not respond. She nudged me again: “Are you going?” I said, “No.” My daughter was relieved. She has been practicing Falun Dafa with us from a very young age. She was worried about me.

After my sister left, my daughter followed me to the bathroom. She gave me a thumbs up and said, “Mommy, you are awesome!” She then said it again holding her other thumb up. She then held up both thumbs and said “Mommy, you are awesome!” three more times. 

I was crying inside. Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) was so compassionate, and had my daughter cheering for me!

A few days later, while I was sitting on the bed, I heard a voice from the left side of my head: “You are not sick!” 

I had been studying the Fa and doing the exercises every day. Since I did not go to the hospital, my sister bought me some expensive supplements. I did not take them.

One time I went to visit a relative, who was a doctor, at a hospital. She grabbed me and took some blood samples from my ear. She told me to come back the next day for the test results. I never went back, as I knew a practitioner does not suffer from illness, and that my symptoms were an illusion. 

Knowing that Master was by my side, I remained steadfast. However, I noticed that my righteous thoughts were not strong enough. 

To fix this, I spent more time sharing with other practitioners and studying the Fa.

In the beginning, I could not even get a drink of water without help, and a 15-minute walk required me to stop frequently to rest. 

Still, I tried to do everything by myself, while at the same time, studying the Fa, doing the exercises and denying any interference from the old forces.

One time, a practitioner saw that I had edema all over my body. She recommended I do the Falun Standing Stance exercise for two hours at a time. 

My family members were suspicious at first. One month later, I was like a new person. 

My complexion turned rosy and I also looked younger. Dafa purified my body and heart; Master gave me a second life. 

After my sister witnessed Dafa’s miracle, she now often says, “Falun Dafa is good!”
