(Minghui.org) There is a doctor in my hometown in Heilongjiang Province who is in his 70s. He's a good and honest man and has taken care of the people in the village all his working life. However, he has suffered from bronchitis and asthma for many years and could never rid himself of these illnesses.

I visited the doctor when I went back to my hometown and told him that both my wife and I have practiced Falun Gong for many years and have both benefited. I told him how after I started practicing Falun Gong, my stomach and neck problems went away. My wife's neurasthenia and cerebral arteriosclerosis were healed when she began to practice.

The doctor was very interested and asked a lot of questions. He wanted to know, “What is Falun Gong? For many years I have been in the dark. Why did the TV, radio, and newspapers all suddenly begin criticizing Falun Gong? That sounds just like what happened when the Cultural Revolution started. Later I heard that you and your wife practiced Falun Gong. I know that you are good people. One of your relatives came to my house and told me that Falun Gong teaches people to believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It is the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) that has defamed and persecuted Falun Gong.”

I told the doctor the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution. For example, how the CCP harvests practitioners' organs while they are alive, that Falun Gong has now spread to over 100 countries and regions throughout the world, and that the CCP ringleaders have been sued in international courts of law for genocide and crimes against humanity.

The doctor said, “Falun Gong's followers believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, which is truly good. Now I know that the Tiananmen self-immolation was a set-up by the CCP to fool the public. I wondered about it at the time when one of the victims, the little girl, was able to sing only a few days after she'd supposedly had a tracheotomy. How could that be possible?”

I told my friend to sincerely say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I told him that it would do him good. He assured me that he would memorize the phrase.

Two years ago I ran into the doctor again. He was very glad to see me and said, "I have many questions to ask you. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to find you. Something amazing has happened, and I can't explain it.”

He said that he did not recite those words right after I left him. However, a year later his wife died, and his bronchitis worsened. It was then that he started to say the phrase again and again. If no one was around, he would say it aloud.

He didn't know when he started to get well, but imperceptibly, he did. Even more amazingly, dark hair began growing on his once-bald head. The pain in his arm disappeared, and he could once again wash his face like he used to be able to. He showed me how he had regained full use of his arms and hands.

Also, my doctor friend's skin appeared finer and he now has a rosy complexion. The other villagers teased him and asked what mysterious medicine he was taking. He said that he could not say it publicly when there were so many people present. However, he took a special trip to visit his younger sister in another town and suggested that she too say those nine words.

He said he had worked as a doctor his entire life and yet could not heal himself, but when he sincerely recited those nine words, he recovered. He wanted to know why.

I told him that he should read Zhuan Falun to find the reason. He responded that he was looking forward to it.

Several months later I found a copy of Zhuan Falun and asked my relative to take it to the doctor. He was very glad to receive the book and is still reading it.
