I am now 78 years old and have practiced Falun Dafa for eight years.

Before I began practicing, I had never led a happy life. My parents passed away when I was 13 years old. Disasters and health problems surrounded me. My health problems were well known by the doctors in my village clinic, the township health center, and the city hospital, since I visited them every year. The key problem was that I was allergic to medicine. None of the doctors dared give me any injections or prescriptions. I believed in hospital treatment then. Because I was poor, whenever I fell ill, I would try hard to go without treatment until I was unable to stand it. Tracheitis and pulmonary emphysema accompanied me for most of my life. Later, I developed rheumatoid arthritis. When I was 71, I nearly died. Lying in bed, I could not even move my hands and legs. I had to be fed by others, and could not go to the restroom. My thinking was also muddled. My elder son returned home to see me. My other children called him "brother." I also called him "brother." When my children called my husband "dad," I also followed and called him "dad," so everyone thought that I did not have much time left to live.

Right at that time, on March 8, 1996, my children started practicing Falun Dafa. Soon after, they also gave me a set of Teacher's Fa lecture tapes to listen to. They played the tape to me. While listening, I gradually understood. All the disasters and health problems during my life were just because of my karma from before. I learned that Teacher will lead us home, eliminate our karma and purify our bodies for us. After two months, my brain finally cleared up, and I could sit up and eat meals on my own. I also learned the five sets of exercises. My only problem is that I still have difficulty walking. Gradually, I learned to read. When I was learning, I would ask anyboby I met how to pronounce the characters I didn't know. After more than one year, I, a 70-year-old who had been illiterate before, could read Zhuan Falun.

During the eight years since I started practicing Falun Dafa, I've never needed to take any medication. Words cannot express my gratitude to Teacher.
