(Clearwisdom.net) I began practicing Falun Dafa in October 2004. Before that, I was tortured by many diseases. I suffered from tuberculosis in 2002, and had a treatment at the Tuberculosis Hospital of Jiamusi City for over a month. Medication and injections had become part of my life. In 2004, I suffered from hepatic disease, heart attack, gynecological disease, skin disease, rheumatism, periarthritis of shoulder, and other problems which were torturous and costly.

I bore a heavy family burden at that time. I had to cook for my husband, younger brother and mother even though I could hardly look after myself. Born in a landlord family, my mother was persecuted to insanity during the Cultural Revolution. My younger brother was disabled and needed to be taken care of. Even worse, my husband was a drinker and didn't care about me and the family at all. My two daughters worked in another region far from home. I was on the edge of breakdown.

My lung disease worsened in the first half of 2004, so I went to the Second Hospital of Jiamusi. However, the hospital refused to provide any treatment for me and insisted that I go to other hospitals. I had actually been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer but nobody told me until long afterward. I was often out of breath, appeared pale and could neither talk much nor fall asleep. I became like the walking dead! Even my neighbors gossiped that I could hardly survive more than 3 or 4 months. I was in extreme pain, and tortured by it day and night. I thought that I might die soon. I called my daughters to visit, divided the property, wrote the will, and just waited for death!

At this moment, I ran across a local Falun Gong practitioner who had practiced for a long time. He told me that I could be cured by practicing Falun Gong, and my medical expenses would be cut. He also said that Dafa was wonderful and miraculous; that many people who had suffered from fatal diseases had recovered! I was uncertain about his words at first, but, thinking of my elderly mother, my disabled brother and my two daughters who would soon become motherless, I decided to seize the opportunity to try it. However, my husband and daughters believed the prevailing lies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and objected to my practice. I practiced in secret and hesitancy.

Master purified my body on my first day of practice. When I read Zhuan Falun for the first time, I saw colorful sparks radiating in front of my eyes. After I did the exercises for several days, I felt Falun rotating in my body. When I did the exercises after that, I had diarrhea and threw up sometimes. This situation lasted for over a month. Surprisingly, I became better and better. Without medication and injections, all my diseases disappeared! I felt a sense of relief, lightness and wonder. I was happier than ever. All the miracles were granted by Dafa, and I am thankful that Master gave me a second life. No words can adequately express my gratitude.

Numerous miracles have occurred in my life during the years of cultivation. On three occasions, I felt as if I'd gotten a bad cold with high fever, burning and shivering. My family was scared and insisted that I go to the hospital. I was clear that this was not a common illness but that Master was eliminating the karma for me so I persisted in staying at home. The symptoms lasted for 3 days. On the fourth day, I felt all well as if nothing had happened! Also, I had diarrhea several times, and had to use the toilet over 20 times during the night! I was aware that Master was purifying my body and cleansing the karma accumulated in my cycle of reincarnation. Master said, “If thoughts are righteous, evil will collapse. The cultivator’s mind, is loaded with Fa.” (“What's to Fear?,” Hongyin II) My family also felt the miracles of Dafa from my experience, and they didn't object to me practicing anymore.

I had an eye operation in 1989. However, three pieces of lint were left in the corner of my eye when I had the stitches taken out. It looked like a pustule in my eye. It has been over twenty-two years after the operation. The pustule grew to the size of a soybean, very obvious! Everyone whom I've met would ask what it was. One day, I thought how great it would be if I could remove the lint from the pustule. Six or seven days later, the corner of my eye itched. I squeezed, and the three pieces of lint were easily removed. The pustule disappeared! How amazing!

I have a relative in Jiamusi who seems physically fit but unable to walk. Through studying the Fa, I recognized that her body in other dimensions was injured, so I asked my mother-in-law to take some DVDs about Master teaching the Fa and the exercises on her visit. Regretfully, her family was against her practicing due to their belief in the lies from the CCP. They were afraid of the terrible threats the CCP posed and searched for the DVDs. When she came back, my mother-in-law was illegally detained. The next day, three cars from the Jiamusi railway police rushed to my home. Dozens of policemen brought my mother-in-law. They broke into my home and ransacked it, however I had transferred all the Dafa materials to a safe place before they came. As soon as the policemen stepped into my room, I asked Master for help to not let the policemen find any materials which had not been transferred! The policemen searched for Master's writings in my wardrobe, but they couldn't see them. Without finding anything, they arrested me and took me to Jiamusi. On the way there, I sent righteous thoughts often, and didn't acknowledge any arrangement by the old forces! Whatever they asked me, I kept silent and refused to answer.

I had a dream that night about someone holding a basin of pears. I was given a peeled one. My own dimensional field was very clean. I realized that this was Master's hint to direct me to leave here. As a result, the police couldn't find my mother-in-law's testimony or the DVDs! Under Dafa disciple's righteous thoughts and Master's merciful care, I returned home on the third day. “When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide.” (“The Master-Disciple Bond,” Hongyin II )

During the spare moments in my eight years of practice, I read Zhuan Falun to my mother. If I didn't have time, I would play the audio recordings of Master's lectures. Now my mother has become more conscious, and my husband behaves better. It is obvious that the environment of my family is improving. This means “When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family will benefit.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” Zhuan Falun Fajie – The Law of Zhuan Falun Explained)
