A Dying Cancer Patient Finds New Life Through Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I am a 91-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. One night soon after the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, I was staying at the home of a fellow practitioner. It was dark and quiet. I was startled awake in the middle of the night by the sound of someone sobbing. I got up to investigate.

My fellow practitioner was kneeling in front of the photo of Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa. With tears on his face, he cried out in sorrow. Concerned, I approached him and asked what was wrong. 

While crying he explained the situation. His daughter, who had only recently married, was diagnosed with cancer. She was in a local hospital, and her condition was getting worse by the day. Her in-laws, unable or unwilling to bear the medical expenses, had abandoned her, leaving him and his wife to handle everything.

The hospital had demanded 30,000 yuan for the surgery she urgently needed, but he had only managed to borrow 9,000 yuan despite his best efforts. He felt utterly helpless. With no other options, he knelt before Master Li’s picture, praying for help.

I wanted to help him financially, but my circumstances didn’t allow it. I had been detained after appealing for Falun Dafa in Beijing, and even after my release, local authorities kept harassing me. I had to leave my home to avoid being arrested again.

Yet, I knew from my own experiences that Falun Dafa could bring hope, even in the darkest times. Since childhood, I have suffered from numerous illnesses. At 58, I was forced to retire due to cerebrovascular sclerosis. But in 1996, after I began practicing Falun Dafa, my illnesses disappeared, and I haven’t taken any medicine since then. 

The next day, I went to visit his daughter in the hospital. Her mother was with her. The young woman was in pain every day, unable to eat or sleep. She was anxiously waiting for her father to return with the money for surgery. 

Since the couple and their daughter all practiced Falun Dafa at that time, I said to the mother, “The surgery might not save her. We are practitioners, and we should have faith in Master.” 

The mother seemed to retain her composure and talked to her daughter who immediately decided to leave the hospital and practice cultivation. 

Something remarkable happened almost immediately. As soon as she made up her mind, her pain eased. She felt hungry for the first time in weeks and was able to eat a little. That night, she had a long, much-needed peaceful sleep.

Her doctor, however, was not convinced and strongly opposed her decision to leave the hospital. But her resolve was firm. After much back-and-forth, with the hospital dean’s reluctant approval, she was finally discharged.

To assist in her recovery, the family rented a small house in a quiet area outside the village. Every day, she and her mother devoted themselves to studying Falun Dafa’s teachings and practicing the five sets of exercises. Her father and I were there to support them.

Her health improved every day. Within 12 days, her pain was gone, and she was completely healed. It was a transformation that defied explanation.

With the surgery no longer needed, her father returned the borrowed money. Word spread quickly through the village, and the miraculous recovery left everyone stunned. 

Later, the family came to thank me, saying that I had saved their daughter’s life. I replied, “No, it is not me, it is Master who saved her. My own life has been extended by Master too.”

Now, more than a decade has passed. The young woman is thriving, and she has given birth to two children, who are growing up healthy.
