(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1999. In the morning on October 28, 2020, my coworker and I had to take apart the advertising signs at a shop. Plasterers working in the shop had surrounded the construction zone with protective boards. There was a transformer between two shops, and the cement pole supporting it was outside of the protective boards. When we entered the construction zone, we didn’t look up and didn’t see the transformer, so we didn’t take precautions. That was careless.
We used three stacks of steel tube scaffolding over 15 feet high. There were no wheels on the scaffolding, and it was too heavy to lift, so we had to drag it along the ground, which was wet sand. As we were moving it, one of the legs of the scaffolding touched the input terminal of the 10,000-volt transformer. At that moment, the other guy’s hands weren’t on the scaffolding, but I was holding it with both hands.
It felt like there was an explosion in my body and that every cell was vibrating rapidly. It felt like I grew several times bigger. Knowing that I was being electrocuted, I shouted in my heart, “Master, please help me! Falun Dafa is good!” Then I fell down under the scaffolding. I was aware of my right foot, then I passed out.
My coworker saw that I was hurt, but thought it was because my foot had been smashed by a leg of the scaffolding. He came to help me and then sensed the electricity, so he quickly pulled out the electrical plug in the shop. Then he looked at me again and saw that I was still being shocked, so he realized that it was the high voltage line. When I fell down, the scaffolding was not disengaged from the high-voltage line. The whole process lasted about 30 seconds.
After the power was turned off, he pulled me out from under the scaffolding and shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” More and more people came and surrounded us, and I gradually regained consciousness. I heard a man shouting, “Where is the shop owner? Why isn’t he taking him to the hospital?” When I woke up, I opened my eyes and my mind was clear. I could move my hands and stretch my legs. I said, “I’m fine. I practice Falun Dafa, and I’m protected by Dafa’s Master.” That man was holding his grandson’s hand and walking back and forth. He shouted again, “Who’s the owner? This man needs to go to the hospital. I have seen two people scorched into a ball. Who could ever survive that kind of high-voltage electric shock?” As he left, he muttered, “Falun Dafa really works.”
I slowly sat up, then stood up, and shook off the sand that was all over me. I walked over to a tree and stood against it. The kind owner of a shop across the road brought out a chair so I could sit down. I told him that, fortunately, I was a Dafa practitioner. If not, I would not have survived. He put his hands together and said aloud, “Falun Dafa is good.” The owner of the store next door picked my hat up off the ground and gave it to me. She said, “I saw the sparks on the transformer—it’s unbelievable that you are fine.” The people at the scene were saying, “Falun Dafa is so miraculous.”
The young man in charge of the construction site arrived later. He asked what happened and insisted on taking me to the hospital. I said, “I practice Falun Dafa, and I’m fine. My lower back just hurts a bit.” He looked at the blood on my right foot, and I realized there were several holes on both sides of my right foot from the electricity. My leather shoe was pierced. He asked me again to go to the hospital, but I politely refused.
My coworker and I took back the scaffolding we’d rented on the tricycle. The owner asked why we were returning it so soon. I told him what had happened. He insisted on not being paid for it. I said, “Of course we need to pay. But even more importantly, you need to remember that Falun Dafa is good.” He was amazed.
We arrived at my home after a slow and bumpy ride of over three miles on the tricycle. I walked upstairs unaided. My right foot smelled burned, but I didn’t feel any pain, so I took a shower. Then I got a call from the young man in charge of the construction site. He insisted on coming to see me, because his company CEO told him to. Because they were from another town, they were afraid of possible future trouble.
After the young man took a picture of the wounds and sent it to his company, the CEO called and emphasized again that I had to go to the hospital. He said that wounds from an electric shock are different from ordinary burns; they are burned from the inside and are difficult to heal, so it would be very risky to go without treatment to prevent infection. He paid great respect to my belief, but he was worried that my family would trouble him in the future if something happened to me. He asked if my children would sign an agreement.
I said, “I would never extort money from you, because I am a practitioner of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” The CEO finally agreed.
The young man wanted to transfer some money to me through WeChat. I said, “I won’t accept your money, so you don’t need to send it to me. Today, both sides were very fortunate. Because I practice Falun Dafa and was protected by Dafa’s Master, a catastrophe was avoided. Both of us should be grateful to Dafa.” He repeatedly said yes and thanked me again and again.
After lunch, some of my relatives and friends came to see me, so I didn’t get to rest in bed until after 4 p.m.. My daughter called me to have dinner around 6 p.m. I couldn’t stand up and sat on the edge of the bed. I was sweating heavily, and then I passed out. My wife and daughter cried out to Master to save me, and I woke up a few minutes later.
Many of my relatives and friends came to see me in the following days. My doctor friends talked to me about the seriousness of the wounds. They said an infection could be life-threatening or could lead to my foot being permanently disabled. My relatives were all very worried.
I patiently explained to them, “I have been cultivating for so many years, and I know my situation very well. I won’t be irresponsible when it comes to my own life. Think about it, if I can withstand a 10,000-volt electrical shock because I cultivate Dafa, how can I get an infection from the wounds? Do you remember that my previous illnesses were all cured without medical treatment? The Buddha Fa is a supernatural science, and you can just wait for my good news; I will be back to normal very soon.”
In fact, no one knew that the most painful thing for me was not my foot but my lower back. Without strength in your lower back, you can’t even stand up or take a step. I could not move while lying on the bed. When it hurt, it felt like someone was twisting a knife in me. Any movement led to excruciating pain. Every move I made was with Master’s help. I know that Master is always by my side. I firmly believe that cultivators do not suffer illnesses; there is only karma elimination.
Thus, I didn’t treat myself as a patient, and I didn’t rely on family to take care of me. From the first day, I insisted on doing the exercises every day. After finishing the exercises, my clothes were soaked with sweat. The amazing thing was that I felt very comfortable while doing them. Especially when I did the second exercise, my lower back felt really good. Master was helping me cleanse my body, and I cannot express my gratitude with words. So I insisted on doing the exercises twice a day. After a week of this, my lower back pain was gone. As for the wounds on my foot, I didn’t even think about them. I just took showers and walked as usual. All I did was wrap the wounded area with gauze, so I could put on and take off my shoes more easily. I didn’t use any medicine. The wounds were completely healed in a month.
Every person who truly cultivates Dafa can write a whole book about his or her experiences. Falun Dafa is truly extraordinary and has manifested so many miracles.
