A patient with brain cancer

My classmate's brother-in-law lived in Linyi City, Shandong Province. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2002. Because of where the cancerous tumor was positioned, it could not be surgically removed. He was hospitalized for a period of time and spent about 20,000 “yuan” in medical expenses. The doctor then told him to go home and informed his family that he had at most half a year to live. My classmate's sister called her up and asked if she knew of any alternative healing methods as she did not want her husband to just wait for death. My classmate found me and the two of us went to visit her sister and brother-in-law. My classmate also asked me to bring the Falun Dafa books to see if her brother-in-law could practice Falun Gong.

We took a whole day traveling to the house by car. It was winter. My classmate's brother-in-law was wearing a lot of heavy clothing and was crouching by the fireplace for warmth. He kept crying and said, “I am just like a sick bird. I feel so terrible!” We explained the purpose of our visit and introduced Falun Gong to him. We asked if he was willing to give it a try. When we took out the book “Zhuan Falun,” he suddenly became very alert. He said, “Let me wash my hands first before handling the book.”

We were at his home for four days. We taught both of them the five sets of exercises and we listened to Master's lectures and studied the “Fa” together. At that time, my classmate's brother-in-law could sit in the lotus position. When doing the exercises, he took off his outer coat, jacket and woolen coat. He only wore a woolen sweater and vest. The day we left, they were both able to do the exercises on their own by listening to the exercise music. By this time, my classmate's brother-in-law had regained mobility in his left arm and fingers.

My classmate's sister and her husband continued to study the Fa and do the exercises every day. Their life was filled with hope and the frowns on their faces disappeared. Their son and two daughters saw their improvement and were very delighted. They all praised Falun Dafa. The doctor had said that my classmate's brother-in-law only had half a year to live, yet he lived for another two years without any pain. In the winter of 2004, he died in his sleep. He was 74 years old when he died. Once he started to practice the exercises, he did not suffer from any pain from his cancer. The doctor had prepared Pethidine hydrochloride (Dolantin) painkillers for him but he never felt the need to use them. The doctor commented on how, in the later stages of cancer, the patient is usually in a lot of pain, so he was very surprised at the brother-in-law's case.

My classmate's sister quietly told the doctor that they had been practicing the Falun Gong exercises at home. The doctor understood. He did not ask about the kind of exercises but said, “It looks like the exercises were effective!” Furthermore, when the corpse was cremated two days later, the body was not stiff at all. All the relatives and friends felt that it was really miraculous. My classmate's sister is still practicing the exercises and her eldest daughter wants to take it up as well.

Miracles and changes in my friend

My classmate knew that I practiced Falun Gong and knew about the persecution. At that time she did not understand the truth about Falun Gong and criticized me for being stubborn. However, after she got to know more about the practice, she changed her mind. She thought that the book of poems, “Hong Yin,” written by Master was very good, so she decided to copy it. As she copied, she cried. I asked her why she was crying. She said, “It's too late. It's too late.” Later she also started to learn the exercises from me. She was able to become peaceful the moment she did the second set of exercises. Thereafter, she took the initiative to read “truth-clarification” fliers and watch VCDs and even gave them to others to read and watch.

In 2003, during the period of SARS, my classmate and her grandson were very frightened. At that time, the schoolteacher told the students that those who were infected with SARS could not have contact with anybody and that when they died, they would die without a body. As her daughter was working outside, my friend lived in fear and was very worried for her. One afternoon, when she was lying in bed, she saw a string of Faluns flying towards her from the southwest. She thought that they were very pretty. At that time she thought, “So the Faluns are real! No wonder my friend is so steadfast in her cultivation. She would rather die than give up Falun Gong. Falun Gong really is great!” From then on, she was not worried about SARS anymore.

During our class reunion in 2006, she told me that she had told many people the facts about the staged self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square. Everyone she told understood the real situation. She told me proudly that it was very effective because they knew that she was not a Falun Gong practitioner and so they trusted her words. Yes, it is true—the Party's slanderous propaganda has caused many people's minds to be poisoned and many people have put up their guard against Falun Gong practitioners. However, as the evil is being eradicated, many people will learn the truth about Falun Gong just like my classmate did.
