(Minghui.org) I am a woman in my 60s who has practiced Falun Dafa since 1996. My family members all understand about Dafa cultivation and support me. They believe that Falun Dafa is good, know the truth, and have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, including the Youth League and Young Pioneers. I would like to share two stories about how my family and I have benefited from Dafa.

Partially Removed Rib Regenerated

At the end of 1989, I developed a fever and cough, and it lingered on until March 1990, when I was finally diagnosed with chest wall tuberculosis (TB), which was located on the left side of my chest, directly behind my heart. As I was previously a head nurse at a hospital affiliated with a large company, I was indeed concerned about being diagnosed with this serious form of TB.

The lesion was swollen and inflamed, affecting my heart, and caused coughing, fever, pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath. I was treated with medication and surgery. In less than six months, I had three surgeries. As a last resort, a diseased section in the middle of a rib, two or three inches long, was removed.

I suffered a great deal during the recovery as the incision hurt when I breathed deeply, talked loudly, or got excited. I could only cry silently. After a short while, I was diagnosed with pleural tuberculosis on the same side, and I could only take medicine to treat it. There was no other treatment available.

Because I took medication for a long time, the side effects of the drug affected my stomach, liver, and eyes. I also developed depression with severe insomnia. My child was only three years old, and my mother had to care for him. Later, my husband was assigned to work out of town, and he could only come home for a few days when he was on vacation or returned to the company for a meeting.

I was so weak I could hardly go up and down the stairs, let alone carry anything heavy. After years of suffering, I became disheartened, feeling that life was too hard and I wondered what I was living for. Even suicidal ideas came to mind.

When my mother came to visit me in August 1996, she told me about Falun Dafa, how good it was, and its healing effects. She borrowed a book on Falun Dafa and wanted me to read it. I had practiced other types of qigong in the past, and they'd never helped. But out of politeness, I took this book.

I finished the book in a few hours, and it touched my heart. My mother taught me the Falun Dafa exercises and meditation, and I immediately entered a state of tranquility, which felt wonderful. I felt at ease and relaxed, and I had more energy. I have practiced Falun Dafa ever since. Unknowingly, all my symptoms disappeared.

In 1998, during a routine physical exam for employees, all my indicators were normal. In particular, the chest X-ray revealed that my rib was intact! The doctor couldn’t believe what he saw. He was so shocked to see that the area of the rib surgically removed previously had regenerated! The partially removed rib grew back as if nothing had happened! This caused quite a stir among the employees and people in the local area.

Nephew Survives Life-Threatening Car Accident

My seven-year-old nephew ran across the road when he saw his mother, who had come to pick him up after school. While crossing the road, a taxi suddenly knocked the child down and ran over him. My sister, the driver, and passersby were all terrified, as they believed he was certainly crushed and seriously hurt.

Everyone rushed over to take a look, and the child was fine. He jumped to his feet happily! Everyone was amazed and said that this child must have surely been protected by heaven! The driver insisted on taking the child to the hospital for a checkup. After the evaluation, he was found to be perfectly fine! Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.

My nephew told me that what happened to him was just like what the Faun Dafa book said, “...good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought,” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun) I affirmed his understanding and told him that he had followed Dafa teachings, and Master Li had protected him as a result.
