Terminal Skin Cancer Patient Recovers Six Months After Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) My husband and I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996 and our health improved. After the persecution started in 1999, we clarified the truth to all of our family members, and they all held a positive attitude toward Falun Dafa and its practitioners. 

Over the years, some of our family members have encountered life-threatening situations, but came out safe and sound. They believed that Falun Dafa’s blessings kept them away from harm. One of them was my husband’s younger brother, Wei. In 1997, he was diagnosed with melanoma, which had spread to his brain by 2021. Six months after he took up Falun Dafa, Wei recovered from the malignant skin cancer. He went from a die-hard Chinese Communist Party supporter to a steadfast Dafa practitioner. 

Wei, now in his 50s, is a kind and honest billionaire with a successful marriage and business. He could not understand why my husband and I insisted on practicing Falun Dafa after the persecution started. He never wanted to listen to or take any Dafa literature from us. Influenced by the state media’s propaganda against Dafa, he held that we were too stubborn and ignorant.

His son, a doctor, noticed that he had a mole on his back in 2017, and suggested that he have it surgically removed. Wei went to the hospital for a checkup, and was diagnosed with melanoma, one of the most aggressive cancers. He had surgery right away. Afterward he went into therapy, with expensive imported medicine.

The medicine had strong side effects and made him feel horrible and vomit. Unable to keep food down, his weight dropped quickly and he became weak and could barely walk. Four months later he decided to stop taking the medicine, “It will kill me before the cancer does. I’ll let nature take its course.” 

When my husband and I went to visit Wei, we urged both him and his wife to practice Falun Dafa, and they agreed. As he was still managing his business, he stopped before ever finishing reading Zhuan Falun due to his busy schedule. 

By September 2021 he felt extreme discomfort in his stomach and had a checkup at the hospital. It turned out that his skin cancer had spread to his digestive system and lung. The doctor suggested that he get a second opinion in a larger hospital in Beijing. His wife cried in despair. 

My husband and I rushed to his home after we heard about it. He hadn’t returned from Beijing yet. We told his wife, “You are both kind people, especially Wei. As smart and rich as he is, he remains kind and helpful. Good things await good people. Don’t worry. If he can continue to practice Falun Dafa with a sincere heart, Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, will help him. Many people with terminal illness have recovered because of the practice.” 

I delivered a copy of Zhuan Falun to Wei the next day when he returned. I spent two hours telling him how my husband and I have benefited from the practice, and that the practice is welcomed by people around the world. I also explained why the former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin launched the persecution. Wei nodded as he listened, “I will certainly do my best studying the book and doing the exercises. Please show me the movements of the exercises.” From then on, my husband and I went to his home to study the Fa and do the exercises with him and his wife every day. 

One day his wife came to us and told us that the hospital in Beijing just started a research program on cancer treatments. If he fit the criteria, he would be able to participate in the research and receive experimental treatments. 

Knowing that we didn’t want him to give up practicing Dafa, he told us, “I will still practice, but I also need the treatments. I understand you have good intentions, but I can’t pass up this rare opportunity for treatment.” He began to cry as he was talking. I consoled and told him that it was fine to receive the treatments. “Please rest assured that I will continue to study the Fa,” he said. 

During the qualifying examination, Wei was found to have cancer cells in his brain, which made him ineligible for the research program because drugs for brain treatment had not been developed. His wife nearly collapsed and asked the doctor to prescribe other drugs. The doctor told her that the targeted drug could only slow down cancer growth in his abdomen, but not the brain. It was impossible to cure the cancer now.

Wei’s mood hit rock bottom. With no other options, his wife encouraged him, “Let’s go home and study Dafa with your brother and sister-in-law. You will be fine!” They returned home and have since studied the Fa and exercised every day. 

His health improved enormously. His appetite and swallowing function both improved. His stomach also stopped hurting. Encouraged by the changes, he did more exercises and studied the Fa for hours every day. 

In the beginning of his practice, he still received chemotherapy. Besides having a low grade fever a couple of times, he did not have the side effects, such as high fever or nausea, that most people had. Wei believes that Dafa was showing its power in him.

One day he told me of an incident that happened in his company. There were four shareholders, and each had the same number of shares but different responsibility. One of them told Wei that another shareholder had spent a lot of the company funds to remodel one of his own stores. He found it rather unfair and attempted to divide the remaining funds with Wei. Wei said to him, “I cannot do this because I practice Falun Dafa now, and I must follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” 

Three months after Wei took up Dafa, he returned to Beijing for a follow-up examination. All of the lesion sites, including the one in his brain, had shrunk to half of their original size. It’s been six months now, and he’s gained weight. His complexion has become rosy, and his skin is delicate and glowing.

Besides reading the Falun Dafa books, Wei watched many videos about the ongoing persecution and truly understood that Dafa has been wronged. Understanding how great Dafa is, he has now become a true practitioner.
