(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 48-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Northeast China. On the morning of May 2, 2008, when I was cooking in the kitchen, I added some coals to the stove to make the fire stronger. When I turned to get things together on the side of the stove, there was a deafening blast. There had been a piece of dynamite hiding in the coal, but I had not seen it. When I added the coal to the fire, the dynamite ignited.

Some of the shrapnel from the blast thrust into the left side of my body, it felt like something thrusting into my heart. It seemed that half my body was burnt and my heart was in acute pain. At that moment I said in my mind, ”Teacher, please help me.” As a practitioner for so many years, I knew very well that I would be protected if I trusted Teacher and asked for help when encountering a catastrophe.

I rolled up my pants and saw my legs bleeding. Even my underwear was torn into pieces by the explosion.

My brother and sister came to me upon hearing the blast and found pieces of the dynamite stuck into the skin on my back. They immediately took to me to the hospital. The doctors examined me with X-rays and color ultrasound.

The doctor said, “It is really strange. More than thirty pieces of shrapnel shot into your body but there were no injuries to the nerves or any other critical area except for the three very close to your heart. You almost died, but you are truly fortunate.”

After I went home, I found my legs were badly bruised and swollen and I could not bend them. The shrapnel tore many holes in my legs and it bled a lot, but I did not feel any pain. People who saw my condition were very worried about me, but I was not afraid at all because I was certain that Teacher would help me to recover. So I simply did my housework as usual.

Many neighbors came to see me with their worries. But they were surprised to see that I was behaving as if nothing had happened. I told them, “I practice Falun Gong and am protected by Master Li. Don't worry, I'll be fine.” They could hardly believe my words.

Not long after, I completely recovered without any scars from the injuries.

My neighbors heard about it and said, “Your story is truly miraculous. Falun Dafa is truly great!”
