(Minghui.org) One day in May 1997, I suddenly had an inexplicable, strong desire to go back to my parents' home even though I was just there a few days ago. I thus got on the bus even though I was very busy with housework.
As I arrived, my sister-in-law told me that one of my cousins was practicing Falun Dafa. Hearing the word “Falun Dafa,” I was very excited. Both of us decided to give it a try and we went to see my cousin after lunch.
My cousin was very happy that we both wanted to practice Falun Dafa! He said, “Falun Dafa is a practice that cultivates both mind and body. It uplifts one’s character through practicing the exercises and studying the Fa. I will give you a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. You can read it first.”
I felt that this book must be very precious. When I got home, I couldn’t wait to open it. On the first page was a photo of Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, kind and compassionate. I felt instantaneously moved.
I started reading the book page by page. I was deeply drawn to the profound principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the mysteries of the Fa. I finished it in just one day. I felt relaxed and joyful afterwards. Finally, after searching for a very long time, I had found the most precious thing in the world! I thus decided to cultivate!
The next day, I went back to see my cousin and he taught me the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises. After returning home, I studied the Fa and did the exercises every day. I have strictly held myself in accordance with the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person.
Two weeks after beginning cultivation practice, I suddenly had a high fever and pain all over my body, especially in my legs. Although I was in pain, I was very happy because I knew that Master was taking care of me. My husband urged me to get checked into the hospital. I comforted him and said that Master was helping me eliminate my karma. The pain and fever lasted nearly the whole night. When I woke up in the morning, I felt fresher and light. I was extremely grateful to Master.
Through my nephew’s wife, I found a Falun Dafa group exercise site in a nearby park one month later. I joined the group to do the exercises every day. I also studied the Fa with fellow practitioners at night.
Later, my two daughters also started practicing Dafa with me. From then on, my family has been filled with happiness and joy under the light of Dafa.
Observing my physical and mental changes, my husband knew that Dafa was good and righteous. But after the persecution started in 1999, he tried to stop me from practicing, for fear that I might be arrested. Out of fear, he burned all of my Dafa books when I was held in the labor camp in the early years of the persecution.
In May 2005, my husband coughed very severely and he looked so sallow and haggard. Then, he was unable to raise his right arm and leg. After various examinations, the doctor said that my husband had advanced lung cancer with brain metastasis. Further examination and testing confirmed the finding. I was shocked, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
He was admitted to a hospital specializing in cancer treatment. The doctor said that neither surgery nor chemotherapy was possible because the tumor was too close to a large artery. Removing the tumor carried a high risk of hemorrhage.
More than ten days later, my husband started vomiting blood frequently and had severe headaches. The pain was so unbearable that he even tried to kill himself. Pain medicine helped relieve some of the discomfort, but his condition became worse and the hospital issued a critical illness notice to our family. The doctor gave up on the possibility of a cure and just prescribed some medicine to suppress the tumor. We checked out of the hospital with a medical bill that put us in debt for more than 50,000 yuan.
My husband was tortured by the disease and waited in bed for his day to come. He had worked hard all his life. I felt it would be regretful if he died like that. I told him that only Master could save him since all conventional approaches have been tried and failed. I asked him to study the Fa with me. This time, he nodded resolutely. I put a headset on him. I could see him enduring the pain and listening to the recording of Master’s lectures carefully.
My husband began studying the Fa every day. A few days later, he suddenly coughed violently and vomited blood. The blood clots were so dark that our children were frightened. I knew that Master was cleansing his body. I was happy and almost cried. I told our children to recite together with me, “Falun Dafa is good.”
He vomited so violently that the pillow, bed, and floor were all stained. He sweat profusely. By the time the ambulance arrived, he was still coughing, but he was no longer bleeding. When we arrived at the hospital, my husband was hardly breathing. The healthcare people did not hold any hope for him at all. However, before the rescue equipment was set up, my husband started to breathe slowly. His complexion improved, and he could speak. Two days later, he could stand up by himself.
My husband miraculously got better over time. All medical indicators were found to be normal, except for a little weakness. Although he had lost a lot of blood, he did not require a transfusion. On his fifth day in the hospital, the nurse tried to give him an injection of medication, but the needle would not penetrate his skin. My husband said that he was fine and would not take injections anymore. He insisted upon going back home. The attending doctor did a checkup before he was released. From the film, the doctor exclaimed that it was incredible! The lungs and aorta were fine, and the brain tumor lay flat. I knew it was the great and compassionate Master Li Hongzhi who saved my husband’s life!
In just one month, my husband became a healthy person. It has been more than 18 years, and he has never had any illness or taken any medicine. He has witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa. He sincerely realized that his ordeal was karmic retribution for burning the Dafa books, yet merciful Master still cleansed his body.
My husband has always told everyone that Master Li gave him healthy lungs. He told people not to believe the slander against Falun Dafa on TV. He helped many people understand the facts about Dafa.
Today, he is over 80 years old, healthy and talkative. He can do any kind of work. My whole family cannot express our gratitude in words to Dafa and Master Li for his blessings.
