(Minghui.org) Both my husband and I practice Falun Dafa. My son, his wife, and their two sons also believe Dafa is good and support us. All of us have been blessed and protected by Dafa. Below are our stories.
In the summer of 1996, my husband was diagnosed with advanced-stage liver cancer. He was a top director of a department in the municipal government. His employer covered the nearly 300,000-yuan cost of his treatment, but he didn’t make much improvement and his condition kept worsening.
I am a doctor. Based on my professional knowledge, my husband’s liver necrosis and extensive bleeding in the upper digestive system were beyond medical treatment. His hemoglobin was only 3.5 grams per deciliter, much lower than the normal range of 13.8 to 17.2 grams per deciliter. His face and body were sallow. The experts suggested he quit the treatment and spend his final days at home.
My son was very young back then. I could not imagine the future without my husband. I did not give up and still sought alternative treatments. My colleagues tried to persuade me not to waste my money and energy. His supervisors at work came to see him, but my husband had already lost the ability to speak. His eyes were closed, and he barely breathed. Looking at him, some shook their heads and others said to me, “You need to prepare for the worst.”
My husband’s nephew and other young relatives came. I knew they were there to help me with the aftermath. My nephew took me aside and said, “Auntie, Uncle’s funeral arrangements are almost done. We’ve selected the shroud, the funeral home, and the cemetery.” That was hard to take. I dared not think about it.
That afternoon, his niece came from his hometown. She practices Falun Dafa. She stood at the foot of his bed. Before she even spoke, my husband opened his eyes!
“Do you recognize me?” He didn’t reply.
“You have no more medical options. Only Falun Dafa can offer you any hope. Do you want to learn it?” she asked him.
My husband couldn’t speak, but he seemed to understand her. His niece took out a tape player and began to play Master Li’s audio lectures for him. He opened his eyes quite a few times, and even the nurse noticed.
His niece left the player with him, and I continued to play it for him. As he kept listening, miracles happened! My husband visibly improved every day. His energy increased. He could talk, drink milk, and eat porridge. After two weeks, he was able to take a walk!
His improvement stunned many doctors and patients. In less than three weeks, he was discharged.
His niece came again and gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, and taught him the exercises. My husband had good enlightenment quality. He felt the warm energy course throughout his body, and his body felt light while doing the exercises. In less than six months, he completely recovered.
Dafa saved my husband’s life. Everyone who knew him was amazed by his recovery. Waves of people came to visit him and congratulate him.
I began practicing Falun Dafa myself the next year.
In August 2008, my first grandson was born. He had blood spots all over his body, and his platelet count was only 50,000 platelets per microliter, while the normal range was between 150,000 to 400,000 platelets per microliter. He cried day and night. The doctor said he had a virus infection, probably as a result of the flu his mother got while she was pregnant.
The pediatrician suggested we give up treatment. My son’s heart was broken. He consulted a few more experts in Beijing, but the answer was the same.
At the time, my grandson also developed jaundice and it did not subside after being treated for six weeks. After he was discharged, I asked my daughter-in-law to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” for him, but she didn’t believe in it.
My husband and I decided to step in. We stood at the foot of my grandson’s bed and said to him, “Remember ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Dafa will save you.” We recited the auspicious phrases over and over and asked Master to help him. Two days later, his jaundice disappeared and he got better.
Despite this, my daughter-in-law still resisted Dafa. She threw away the Dafa material and amulet I gave her. My son told me not to give her anything anymore.
My daughter-in-law kept me at arm’s length. She did not talk to me or make eye contact with me, as if I were invisible. It hurt my feelings at times. Even though I know I am a cultivator, I still had my weak moments.
When my grandson was four, he suddenly became allergic to everything. He had allergy testing done at Xiehe Hospital (a prestigious hospital) in Beijing and was allergic to 24 things, including wind, flowers, grass, and milk. Whenever he was exposed to these, he would cough and have trouble breathing. He couldn’t lie down to sleep and had to remain sitting up. He was hospitalized monthly for steroid injections. The doctor said his condition was incurable.
My husband and I asked the child to recite with us the Dafa phrases over and over. After a few days, his allergies disappeared and never returned.
When he went to school, he joined the Young Pioneers. I explained to him about the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, that they are evil and we shouldn’t join it to be accomplices to its crimes. He agreed to quit it.
When his mother found out we’d asked him to recite the Dafa phrases, she fought with her husband and even threatened to divorce him.
My son was upset, too. He went on business trips and did not return home for two weeks. He called me and cried, “I know she mistreats you even though you and Dad have done so much for us. If she insists on getting a divorce, I will give her that.”
I said, “It is not easy for her to take care of two children. Your father and I hope you and your family will be happy. You should come home soon and work things out with her. Divorce won’t solve the problem.”
My daughter-in-law was frightened when her husband did not return home for some time. She called him and said that she would not keep her son from learning Dafa anymore.
Meanwhile, when she visited me, I explained to her how the Chinese communist regime spread propaganda to demonize Dafa and that many high-ranking officials have incurred karmic retribution for participating in the persecution. She understood and apologized.
After that, she completely changed. She visited us often and pays more respect to Dafa and Master.
During the three-year pandemic, so very many people were infected and died. Knowing that the pandemic came to target the communist regime, my son always recites the Dafa phrases and encourages his colleagues to quit the Party whenever possible. He once used Dafa’s principles to help a colleague in a conflict. That colleague was no longer angry and thanked him for the good advice.
My grandson called me one day and said, “All 60 students in my class and the teacher tested positive for COVID-19, but not me!”
Over the last three years, none of the six people in my family ever had COVID-19.
My daughter-in-law’s mother broke her leg and could not sleep. I went to visit her and asked her to recite the auspicious phrases. I told her the basic information about Dafa and stories of people who were blessed and protected by Dafa when they acknowledged and appreciated Dafa. She agreed to give it a try. Her daughter later told me that her mother was able to sleep and her pain subsided, too!
It is Dafa that saves us all. Our gratitude for Dafa is beyond words.
