(Clearwisdom.net) This story goes back to the spring of 1999. My uncle, who had been bedridden for many years, then walked out of the house for the first time in years. The neighbors saw that he could walk again and were all very curious. They followed him and asked him what miracle it was that allowed him to walk again. He explained that it was all because he had begun to practice Falun Gong.

You see, in 1994, my uncle was diagnosed with a strange disease. He frequently had cramps in his right leg. He did not recover even after seeing Western doctors and having a Chinese doctor come to his house to treat him for a few months. When he went to the hospital to have an examination, the doctors said that it was due to a growth in the bone near his hip. My uncle is poor, so his wife borrowed money so that he could go to the provincial hospital to get surgery, but he did not get better after the surgery. In fact, the pain was worse than before.

In 1995, a relative of mine who lived in the countryside heard from a colleague about a famous hospital which specializes in nerve treatments. My uncle went there for a consultation. The doctor said that my uncle had a tumor on the left side of the brain and needed surgery. After the surgery, my uncle was better for a while, but a few months later, he started to have cramps again. The worst part was that this time his whole body cramped up and he had seizures. He lost confidence that his illness could be cured and was resigned to his fate, and he even made arrangements for his funeral.

One day in June of 1998, I remember very clearly that a friend of my uncle came to my house. I knew that people in the village called him Diao. He said to my uncle, “There is a good qiqong practice called Falun Gong.” He said that his wife practiced it and that it involved reading a book called Zhuan Falun. He said that my uncle's illness is not termed an illness in the eyes of Master Li. Diao told us that he could lend us a book to read. Two days later, my uncle and his family were lucky enough to receive Zhuan Falun. My uncle read it during the day, while his wife read it at night. Both of them started cultivation this way. A few days later, my uncle was in better spirits and was able to read several pages daily. He said, “This book is really miraculous. I am so sick, yet I managed to read several pages of this book in one day.”

After reading Master’s book, so many of the questions that my uncle and his family had were resolved, and their hearts brightened. For so long, we had been like a small boat in the vast sea which had lost its way. Then our compassionate Master gave us Dafa and guided us onto the right path. It is difficult for us to find words which can express our gratitude.

At the beginning, my uncle was only able to read the book and could not practice the exercises. Later, he managed to do some movements with his left leg, while lying on the bed. Gradually, he was able to sit up, and then stand while doing the exercises. At first it was one minute, then three and then five minutes. He slowly increased the duration of the exercises to half an hour. He also managed to eat and go to the toilet without help. Best of all, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

One day during the winter, he woke up and noticed that his clothes were wet. At first, he did not know why. Later, he realized that compassionate Master was cleansing his body. Through being persistent in his cultivation, his health improved as the days went by and he could do all five exercises in a row. A few months later, he was able to participate in an experience sharing conference, where he spoke about his journey.

My uncle’s wife was also a sickly person. She had headaches, heart disease and back pain. She spent lots of money on medication and injections, but her illnesses were not cured. After she started practicing Falun Dafa, many of her illnesses disappeared. She was able to walk briskly, and bravely endured every bout of karma elimination. During her most severe karma incident, she did not eat for twelve days. She was shivering and cold, along with having high fever. She had a bad pain in her stomach and had loose bowels. She woke up in a sweat and my cousin asked her if she wanted to see a doctor. She said that Master would take care of her. She told him that my uncle would take care of the things in the household and told her son not to worry and go back to work. After ten days of cleansing, she recovered.

In 1999, when the CCP started its persecution of Falun Gong, the regime agents held brainwashing sessions, and came to our house to harass us. Even in such a severe environment, we persisted in our faith of Dafa. We did not give up our cultivation and we have tried to do the three things well.

I would like to thank Master once again for saving our lives.
